  • Small package size (vs AD7391BRZ)
  • Wide supply voltage range (vs AD7390BRZ)

Design Notes

The AD7391BCPZ operates from a single supply of 2.7V to 5.5V. Use a low-impedance supply and place a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to the VDD pin to decouple high-frequency noise. For best performance, a 10µF tantalum capacitor in parallel is recommended if the supply is noisy.

For the 32-LFCSP package, ensure proper thermal and electrical connection to the exposed pad. Solder the exposed pad to a ground plane to improve thermal dissipation and reduce ground inductance. Follow the land pattern recommended in the datasheet for reliable soldering.

The reference voltage (VREF) must be stable and noise-free. Use a precision reference and bypass it with a 0.1µF capacitor. Avoid routing digital signals near the VREF trace to prevent coupling. Also, ensure the serial interface signals (SCLK, SDIN, SYNC) are clean and meet setup/hold times.
