Selection Guide

Choose the ADS8900B when you need 20-bit resolution and 1 MSPS sampling with integrated reference buffer and LDO for simplified design. It is ideal for high-precision industrial, medical, and test applications. If you require lower resolution to reduce cost, consider the ADS8910B (18-bit) or ADS8920B (16-bit) from the same family, which are pin-to-pin compatible. For cross-brand alternatives, the AD7980 and AD7982 from Analog Devices offer similar performance but lack the integrated reference buffer and LDO, requiring additional external components. If your application demands the highest accuracy and minimal external parts, the ADS8900B is the best choice.

  • Pin-to-pin compatible family (vs AD7982)

Design Notes

The ADS8900B has separate analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD) supply pins. Use a low-noise LDO for AVDD to minimize power supply noise, which can affect SNR. Decouple each supply pin with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin, and a 10uF bulk capacitor for low-frequency filtering. The integrated LDO can be used to generate the reference voltage, but for best performance, consider an external low-noise reference.

For optimal performance, place the ADS8900B on a dedicated analog ground plane, separate from digital ground. Use a solid ground plane under the device to minimize noise. Keep analog input traces short and shielded to reduce coupling. The VQFN-20 package has an exposed thermal pad; solder it to the PCB ground plane for improved thermal performance and electrical grounding.

Ensure the reference voltage is stable and low-noise. The integrated reference buffer reduces external component count, but an external reference may be needed for higher accuracy. Avoid driving the analog inputs beyond the specified common-mode range to prevent linearity degradation. Use a series resistor on the SCLK line to reduce ringing, and ensure the SPI timing meets the datasheet requirements.
