9 Power Supply Recommendations

The analog circuitry of the TDC7201 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2 V and 3.6 V. TI recommends to place a 100-nF ceramic bypass capacitor to ground as close as possible to the VDD pins. In addition, an electrolytic or tantalum capacitor with value greater than 1 µF is recommended. The bulk capacitor does not need to be in close vicinity with the TDC7201 and could be close to the voltage source terminals or at the output of the voltage regulators powering the TDC7201.
