Although the ADC provides flexible
clock options for the SPI interface and the range of IOVDD voltages, the following
guidelines are recommended to achieve full data sheet performance.
- Use an SCLK that is phase coherent to CLK; that is, ratios
of 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and so on.
- Minimize phase skew between
SCLK and CLK (< 5 ns).
- Operate IOVDD at the lowest voltage possible to reduce
digital noise.
- If IOVDD ≥ 3.3 V, consider operating SCLK continuously
over the full conversion period to spread noise coupling over the full
conversion period.
- Keep the trace capacitance of
SDO/DRDY ≤ 20 pF to reduce the peak currents
associated with digital output transitions.
