  • Pin-compatible with AD7691BRMZ (vs AD7691BRMZ)

Design Notes

The AD7690BRMZ-RL7 operates from a single 2.3V to 5.5V supply. Use a low-noise LDO to supply VDD and place a 10Β΅F ceramic capacitor close to the VDD pin. The reference voltage (REF) should be driven by a low-impedance source, such as a precision reference like the ADR4525, with a 10Β΅F decoupling capacitor to ensure stable conversion accuracy.

For optimal performance, keep the analog input traces short and shielded from digital noise. Use a solid ground plane and separate analog and digital ground areas, connecting them at a single point. Place decoupling capacitors (0.1Β΅F and 10Β΅F) close to the VDD and REF pins. The SPI lines (SCK, SDO, SDI, CNV) should be kept short and properly terminated to avoid signal integrity issues at 400 kSPS.

Ensure the reference voltage is stable and well-decoupled, as it directly affects conversion accuracy. Avoid driving the analog inputs beyond the REF range to prevent damage. The CNV pin must be pulsed to start a conversion; ensure it is not left floating. Also, verify that the SPI timing meets the datasheet requirements, especially at high throughput rates.
