GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD1555 is a complete sigma-delta modulator, combined with a programmable gain amplifier intended for low frequency,high dynamic range measurement applications. The AD1555 outputs a ones-density bitstream proportional to the analog input. When used in conjunction with the AD1556 digital filter/ decimator, a high performance ADC is realized.
