The ADS1299 is a low-noise, multichannel, simultaneous-sampling, 24-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA), internal reference, and an onboard oscillator. The ADS1299 incorporates all commonly-required features for electroencephalogram (EEG) applications.

With its high levels of integration and exceptional performance, the ADS1299 enables the creation of 23scalable medical instrumentation systems at  significantly reduced size, power, and overall cost.

The ADS1299 has a flexible input multiplexer per channel that can be independently connected to the  internally-generated signals for test, temperature, and lead-off detection. Additionally, any configuration of  input channels can be selected for derivation of the patient bias output signal. The ADS1299 operates at  data rates from 250 SPS to 16 kSPS. Lead-off detection can be implemented internal to the device,  either with an external pull-up or pull-down resistor or an excitation current sink or source.

Multiple ADS1299 devices can be cascaded in high channel count systems in a daisy-chain configuration.

The ADS1299 is offered in a TQFP-64 package  specified from –40℃ to +85℃.

This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1299EEG-FE. This EVM is an evaluation module for the ADS1299, an eight-channel, 24-bit, low-power; integrated analog front-end (AFE) designed for electroencephalography (EEG) applications. The ADS1299ECG-FE is intended for prototyping and evaluation. This user’s guide includes a complete circuit description, schematic diagram, and bill of materials.

The ADS1299EEG-FE is intended for evaluating the ADS1299 low-power, low noise 24-bit, simultaneously sampling, eight-channel front-end for EEG applications. The digital SPI™ control interface is provided by the MMB0 Modular EVM motherboard (Rev. D or higher) that connects to the ADS1299EEG FE evaluation board (Rev A). The ADS1299EEG-FE is NOT a reference design for EEG applications; rather, its purpose is to expedite evaluation and system development. The output of the ADS1299 yields a raw, unfiltered EEG signal.

The MMB0 motherboard allows the ADS1299EEG-FE to be connected to the computer via an available USB port. This manual shows how to use the MMB0 as part of the ADS1299EEG-FE, but does not provide technical details about the MMB0 itself.

Throughout this document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the ADS1299EEG-FE.
