The ADS1299IPAG converts analog biopotential signals to digital data using 8 independent delta-sigma modulator channels followed by shared digital decimation filters. Each channel has a flexible input multiplexer that can connect to external electrode inputs, internal test signals, temperature sensor, or shorted inputs for calibration and noise measurement. The PGA amplifies the differential input signal by the programmed gain factor (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24) before the modulator. Each delta-sigma modulator oversamples at a high rate (fCLK/4), producing a 1-bit stream whose density represents the input amplitude. The digital decimation filter processes this bitstream to produce 24-bit output words at the selected data rate (250 SPS to 16 kSPS). The bias drive amplifier generates a common-mode reference voltage that is fed back to the patient through a bias electrode, actively canceling common-mode interference. Lead-off detection uses either DC current excitation or AC current excitation (using internal current sources and sinks) to monitor electrode connectivity. The SPI-compatible serial interface reads conversion results and writes configuration registers, supporting daisy-chain connection of multiple ADS1299 devices for high-channel-count EEG systems.
