- Per-channel averaging filters (vs AD7606BSTZ)
- Higher sampling rate (vs AD7606BSTZ)
Design Notes
Decouple the AVDD and DVDD pins with 10uF and 0.1uF capacitors placed close to the pins. The reference input (REF) should have a low-impedance decoupling capacitor (e.g., 10uF) to ensure stable operation. Use separate analog and digital ground planes to minimize noise coupling.
For optimal performance, place the AD4694BCPZ on a PCB with a solid ground plane. Keep analog input traces short and shielded from digital signals. The exposed pad (EPAD) should be soldered to the ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. Follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet.
Ensure the input voltage does not exceed the reference voltage or the supply rails. The Easy Drive input stage allows high source impedance, but the acquisition time must be sufficient at 1 MSPS. Avoid floating unused input channels; tie them to ground or a known voltage.
