Texas Instruments provides a recommended layout and routing guide in the ADS7871IDBG4 Evaluation Module User's Guide (SLAU445). It's essential to follow this guide to ensure optimal performance and minimize noise coupling.
The ADS7871IDBG4 does not require calibration. It has an internal calibration circuit that ensures accurate conversions. However, if you need to perform system-level calibration, you can use the device's offset and gain adjustment registers to trim the output.
The ADS7871IDBG4 can operate at a maximum sampling rate of 1.5 MSPS. However, the actual achievable sampling rate may be limited by the system's clock frequency, analog input bandwidth, and digital interface speed.
Yes, the ADS7871IDBG4 can be used with an external reference voltage. The device has a dedicated REF pin that can be connected to an external reference voltage source. This allows you to use a more accurate or stable reference voltage than the internal reference.
The ADS7871IDBG4 outputs 12-bit digital data in a serial format. You can use a microcontroller or FPGA to receive and process the data. Make sure to follow the device's digital interface timing and protocol to ensure correct data reception.
