- Pin-compatible with AD7982 (vs AD7982BCPZ)
Design Notes
The AD7984BCPZ requires a clean 2.5V analog supply (VDD) and a separate digital interface supply (VIO) that can range from 1.8V to 5V. Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors (e.g., 10uF and 0.1uF) placed close to the VDD and VIO pins to decouple high-frequency noise. The reference voltage (REF) should be driven by a low-impedance source, such as a precision reference buffer, to ensure accurate conversions.
For optimal performance, place the AD7984BCPZ on a solid ground plane and minimize trace lengths for the analog input and reference. Use a star-ground topology to separate analog and digital grounds, connecting them at a single point. Keep the SPI lines (SCK, SDO, SDI, CNV) short and avoid routing them near high-speed digital signals to prevent crosstalk. Consider adding a series resistor (e.g., 33 ohm) on the SCK line to reduce ringing.
A common pitfall is driving the analog input with a high-impedance source, which can cause sampling errors due to the ADC's input capacitance. Use a low-impedance driver, such as an op-amp buffer, to ensure the input settles within the acquisition time. Also, ensure the reference voltage is stable and noise-free; any noise on REF directly affects the conversion accuracy. Finally, avoid exceeding the absolute maximum ratings on VDD and VIO to prevent damage.
