Design Notes
The AD7690BRMZ-RL7 operates from a single 2.3V to 5.5V supply. Use a low-noise LDO to supply VDD and place a 10uF and 0.1uF decoupling capacitor close to the VDD pin. The reference voltage (REF) should be driven by a low-noise reference, such as the ADR4550, and decoupled with a 10uF capacitor to ensure stable conversion results.
For optimal performance, keep the analog input traces short and shielded from digital signals. Use a solid ground plane and separate analog and digital ground areas, connecting them at a single point. Place the ADC close to the signal source to minimize noise pickup. The SPI lines (SCK, SDO, SDI, CNV) should be routed away from analog inputs to avoid crosstalk.
Ensure the reference voltage is stable and within the specified range (up to VDD). An unstable reference will directly degrade the ADC's accuracy. Also, avoid driving the analog inputs beyond the supply rails, as this can cause latch-up or damage. Use series resistors to limit input current if overvoltage is possible.
