The CS1237 is a high-precision, low-power 24-bit Δ-Σ (delta-sigma) ADC designed for measuring small analog signals such as load cells, pressure sensors, and other bridge-type sensors.
It integrates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), voltage reference, oscillator, and control logic in a compact SOP-8 package, minimizing external component requirements.
It is ideal for weighing scales, industrial sensors, and data acquisition systems requiring high accuracy and low noise.

| Pin | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VREF | Voltage reference input/output (internal 2.5V reference output) |
| 2 | AIN+ | Positive analog input |
| 3 | AIN– | Negative analog input |
| 4 | GND | Ground |
| 5 | PD_SCK | Serial clock / power-down control |
| 6 | DOUT | Data output (serial data ready signal) |
| 7 | VCC | Positive supply voltage (2.4–5.5 V) |
| 8 | XIN | External clock input (leave open for internal oscillator) |
The CS1237 continuously samples the differential input voltage (AIN+ – AIN–) using a Δ-Σ modulator, followed by a digital filter.
Data is output through the DOUT pin using a clock from PD_SCK, similar to the HX711 interface.
When PD_SCK is held high for >1 ms, the device enters power-down mode.
The gain and sampling rate are selectable through internal registers or configuration programming.

Use low-noise differential input wiring for sensors.
Add a 100 nF + 10 µF decoupling capacitor near VCC.
Ensure analog and digital grounds are properly connected at a single point.
If using an external reference, tie VREF to your reference source.
When using the internal reference, bypass VREF with 1 µF to GND.
