3.3 Power Supply Section

Figure 3-10 shows the power supply tree of the reference design. The design requires an external +12-V DC power to generate 1.9 V and 1.1 V for the ADC; 3.3 V for the clocking devices (LMK61E2, LMK4828, and LMX2594); and ±2.5 V for the LMH5401 and LMH6401 amplifiers. This design has input overvoltage, overcurrent, high inrush current protection through eFuse (TPS259261), and an external bidirectional transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode (SMBJ15CA).

The DC-DC converter and LDO generate the power supply rail, as Table 3-1 details.
