Design Notes
Ensure a clean 5V supply for the ADC. Use a low-dropout regulator (LDO) with low output noise, such as the TPS7A4701, to power the VCC pin. Place a 10µF tantalum capacitor and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin to filter high-frequency noise. The reference voltage (VREF) should be decoupled with a 10µF capacitor to maintain stability.
For optimal performance, use a ground plane and separate analog and digital ground areas. Connect the analog ground and digital ground at a single point near the ADC. Keep analog input traces short and shielded to minimize noise pickup. Place the ADC close to the signal source to reduce parasitic capacitance and inductance.
Avoid driving the analog input with high-impedance sources without a buffer amplifier. The ADC's input capacitance can cause settling errors. Use an operational amplifier with low output impedance, such as the AD8615, to drive the input. Also, ensure the conversion start signal is clean and free of glitches to prevent false triggering.
