ADC12D1600RFIUT datasheet by Texas Instruments

ADC12D1600RFIUT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the ADC12D1600RFIUT to minimize noise and ensure optimal performance?
  A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, separate analog and digital power planes, and a star-configuration for the analog and digital supplies is recommended. Additionally, keep the analog and digital traces separate and avoid crossing them over each other.
• How do I optimize the ADC's clock input to ensure low jitter and optimal performance?
  Use a high-quality clock source with low jitter (<100 ps) and ensure the clock signal is properly terminated. Also, use a clock frequency that is a multiple of the ADC's sampling frequency to minimize jitter and ensure optimal performance.
• What is the recommended input common-mode voltage range for the ADC12D1600RFIUT?
  The recommended input common-mode voltage range is between 1.7V and 2.3V to ensure optimal performance and minimize distortion.
• How do I handle the ADC's output data to ensure accurate and reliable conversion results?
  Use a FIFO or a buffer to handle the ADC's output data, and ensure that the data is read from the ADC at a rate that is at least twice the sampling frequency. Also, use a data alignment scheme to ensure that the data is properly aligned and formatted.
• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the ADC12D1600RFIUT to ensure proper operation?
  Power up the analog supply (AVDD) first, followed by the digital supply (DVDD), and then the clock signal. This ensures that the ADC's internal bias circuits are properly initialized and the device operates correctly.
