Design Notes
Decouple the VDD pin with a 10 Β΅F ceramic capacitor and a 0.1 Β΅F capacitor placed as close to the pin as possible. The VREF pin should be decoupled with a 1 Β΅F capacitor to ground. A stable, low-noise reference is critical for achieving full 16-bit accuracy; consider using a precision reference like the ADR4550.
Keep the analog input traces short and shielded to minimize noise pickup. Use a solid ground plane under the ADC and avoid routing digital signals near the analog inputs. The exposed pad on the LFCSP package should be soldered to the ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
Ensure the analog input source impedance is low enough to settle within the acquisition time. The AD7694 has a sampling capacitor that can draw transient currents; a buffer amplifier may be required. Also, avoid exceeding the absolute maximum ratings on the input pins, as this can damage the device.
