Power Supply Recommendations

The ADS412x and ADS414x have two power supplies, one analog (AVDD) and one digital (DRVDD) supply. Both supplies have a nominal voltage of 1.8 V. The AVDD supply is noise sensitive and the digital supply is not.

Sharing DRVDD and AVDD Supplies

For best performance, the AVDD supply must be driven by a low noise linear regulator and separated from the DRVDD supply. AVDD and DRVDD can share a single supply but must be isolated by a ferrite bead and bypass capacitors, in a PI-filter configuration, at a minimum. The digital noise is concentrated at the sampling frequency and harmonics of the sampling frequency and could contain noise related to the sampled signal. When developing schematics, leave extra placeholders for additional supply filtering.

Using DC-DC Power Supplies

DC-DC switching power supplies can be used to power DRVDD without issue. AVDD can be powered from a switching regulator. Noise and spurs on the AVDD power supply affect the SNR and SFDR of the ADC and show up near dc and as a modulated component around the input frequency. If a switching regulator is used, then the regulator must be designed to have minimal voltage ripple. Supply filtering must be used to limit the amount of spurious noise at the AVDD supply pins. Extra placeholders must be placed on the schematic for additional filtering. Optimization of filtering in the final system is likely needed 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 then use of a switching regulator is not recommended.

Power Supply Bypassing

Because the ADS412x and ADS414x already includes internal decoupling, minimal external decoupling can be used without loss in performance. Note that decoupling capacitors can help filter external power-supply noise; thus, the optimum number of capacitors depends on the actual application. A 0.1-µF capacitor is recommended near each supply pin. The decoupling capacitors must be placed very close to the converter supply pins.
