ADS8344EB/2K5 datasheet by Texas Instruments

ADS8344EB/2K5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the ADS8344EB/2K5?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by AVCC, and then the analog input signal. This ensures proper operation and prevents damage to the device.
• How do I optimize the layout for the ADS8344EB/2K5 to minimize noise and ensure accurate conversions?
  To minimize noise and ensure accurate conversions, keep the analog input traces short and away from digital traces, use a solid ground plane, and decouple the power supplies with capacitors. Additionally, use a low-ESR capacitor for the AVCC pin.
• What is the maximum sampling rate I can achieve with the ADS8344EB/2K5?
  The maximum sampling rate of the ADS8344EB/2K5 is 100 kSPS. However, the actual sampling rate may be limited by the system's clock frequency, analog input bandwidth, and other factors.
• How do I handle the output data from the ADS8344EB/2K5? Is it in binary or two's complement format?
  The ADS8344EB/2K5 outputs data in binary format. The most significant bit (MSB) is the sign bit, and the remaining bits represent the magnitude of the converted value.
• What is the purpose of the REFOUT pin on the ADS8344EB/2K5, and how do I use it?
  The REFOUT pin provides a buffered reference voltage output that can be used as a reference for other devices in the system. Connect a 0.1 μF capacitor from REFOUT to GND to filter the reference voltage.
