- Enhanced product version available (vs AD7327TRUZ-EP)
Design Notes
The AD7327BRUZ requires a 5 V analog supply (VDD) and a negative supply (VSS) for true bipolar inputs. Ensure VSS is at least -12 V when using ±12 V input range. Decouple VDD and VSS with 10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitors close to the pins. The digital supply (DVDD) can range from 2.7 V to 5.25 V, and VDRIVE should match the host interface logic level.
Place the reference bypass capacitor (10 µF) as close as possible to the REF IN/OUT pin. Use a low-impedance ground plane for AGND and DGND, and connect them at a single point to avoid ground loops. Keep analog input traces short and shielded to minimize noise pickup. Follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet for optimal performance.
Ensure the analog input voltage does not exceed the selected input range to prevent damage. The serial interface timing must comply with the datasheet specifications; use the correct SCLK frequency and setup/hold times. Do not leave the CS pin floating; tie it high when not in use. Also, avoid driving the reference input with a voltage higher than 3 V, as this may damage the device.
