PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
A precision analog component requires careful layout, adequate bypassing, and clean, well-regulated power supplies. The power applied to the VA pin must be well regulated and low noise. Switching power supplies and DC/DC converters often have high-frequency glitches or spikes riding on the output voltage. In addition, digital components can create similar high-frequency spikes as internal logic states switch. This noise can easily couple into the DAC output voltage through various paths between the power connections and analog output. As with the ground connection, connect VA to a power supply plane or trace that is separate from the connection for digital logic until VA is connected at the power entry point.
Bypass the DAC121S101-SEP power supply with 10µF and 0.1µF capacitors, as close as possible to the device with the 0.1µF directly at the device supply pin. The 0.1µF capacitor must be a low ESL, low ESR type. Decouple the power supply of DAC121S101-SEP from noisy circuits.
