Key Differentiators
- Higher resolution than AD7691BRMZ (vs AD7691BRMZ)
- Higher sampling rate than AD7946BRM (vs AD7946BRM)
- Differential input vs pseudo-differential in AD7980BRMZ (vs AD7980BRMZ)
Design Notes
Decouple VDD and VIO with 0.1uF and 10uF capacitors placed close to the pins. The VIO supply should be matched to the host logic level to avoid overvoltage. Power consumption scales with throughput, so reduce sampling rate to save power in battery applications.
Use a solid ground plane and separate analog and digital grounds, connecting them at a single point. Keep the reference input (VREF) clean with a low-impedance source and bypass capacitor. Route differential input traces symmetrically to minimize noise pickup.
Ensure the input signal settles within the acquisition time; use a low-impedance driver or buffer. Avoid exceeding the absolute maximum ratings on IN+ and IN-. For daisy-chain operation, ensure proper timing on SDI and CNV. Always consult the datasheet for recommended operating conditions.
