Design Notes
The AD7392BCPZ operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V supply. Use a low-impedance supply and place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor close to the VDD pin and a 10 µF tantalum capacitor for bulk decoupling. The power-down mode reduces current to 1 µA, but ensure the PD pin is properly driven to avoid unintended power-down.
For optimal performance, place the AD7392BCPZ on a PCB with a solid ground plane. Keep the REF pin trace short and shielded to minimize noise coupling. Use a 0.1 µF capacitor on the REF pin if using the internal reference. The LFCSP package has an exposed pad that should be soldered to the ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
Ensure the serial interface timing meets the datasheet specifications. The SYNC pin must be low during data transfer, and data is clocked in on the falling edge of SCLK. Avoid floating the PD and CLR pins; tie them to known logic levels. Also, the output voltage cannot exceed the reference voltage, so set the reference appropriately for the desired output range.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliance is indicated by the 'Z' suffix in the part number. Other compliance data not explicitly provided.
