ADS131E04 Replacement: GX131E04 Pin-Compatible 4-Channel 24-Bit ADC
GX131E04 is developed for industrial power monitoring, relay protection and precision data acquisition. Its high-impedance inputs can connect directly to resistor dividers, voltage transformers, current transformers and Rogowski coils.
The QFP-64 version supports direct replacement of ADS131E04 while retaining the existing schematic, PCB and processor software. A compact BGA-64 package is also available for new designs requiring a smaller system footprint.
GX131E04 as a Direct ADS131E04 Replacement
GX131E04 retains the four-channel, 24-bit simultaneous-sampling delta-sigma architecture used by ADS131E04. Each channel includes a flexible input multiplexer and programmable gain amplifier, supporting gains of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.
Compatible pin definitions, analog inputs, power connections, reference and clock circuits, control signals and SPI interface enable direct migration from ADS131E04.
GX131E04 also supports four GPIO pins, synchronization control and daisy-chain operation, allowing existing MCU, DSP or FPGA acquisition architectures to be retained.
Pin-to-Pin Hardware and Software Compatibility
The 10 mm × 10 mm QFP-64 version of GX131E04 is designed for pin-to-pin hardware compatibility with ADS131E04. Existing input networks, supply circuits, reference connections and digital interfaces can be retained without redesigning the PCB.
Software and interface compatibility allow existing register configuration, synchronization control, SPI timing and data-readout programs to continue operating without modifying the processor interface.
GX131E04 is also available in an 8 mm × 8 mm BGA-64 package for compact new designs. Both package versions support operation from −40°C to +105°C.
