SBAS558C December 2012 – December 2015 ADS42B49
PRODUCTION DATA.
The ADS42B49 has three power supplies: two analog (AVDD and AVDD_BUF) and one digital (DRVDD) supply. The AVDD supply has a nominal voltage of 1.9 V. The AVDD_BUF supply has a nominal voltage of 3.3 V. DRVDD supply has a nominal voltage of 1.8 V. Both AVDD supplies are noise sensitive and the digital supply is not.
DC/DC switching power supplies can be used to power DRVDD without issue. Both AVDD supplies can be powered from a switching regulator. Noise and spurs on the AVDD power supply affect the SNR and SFDR of the ADC, and appear near DC and as a modulated component around the input frequency. If a switching regulator is used, it should be designed to have minimal voltage ripple. Supply filtering should be used to limit the amount of spurious noise at the AVDD supply pins. Extra placeholders should be placed on the schematic for additional filtering. Optimize filtering in the final system to achieve the desired performance. The choice of power supply ultimately depends on the system requirements. For instance, if very low phase noise is required, do not use a switching regulator.
Because the ADS42B49 already includes internal decoupling, minimal external decoupling can be used without loss in performance. Decoupling capacitors can help filter external power-supply noise; thus, the optimum number of capacitors depends on the actual application. A 0.1-uF capacitor is recommended near each supply pin. The decoupling capacitors should be placed very close to the converter supply pins.
