Efficient, LDO-Less, Power-Supply Network Reference Design for RF-Sampling ADC

TIDA-01247

Design files

Overview

This reference design demonstrates a simplified and efficient network to power an ADC32RFxx. All three power domains of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are supplied using a switching regulator to enable the use of a power-supply network without a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator. This configuration improves the overall power efficiency and reduces part count without any degradation to the ADC specifications.

Features
  • Power efficiency increased by more than 10%
  • Power savings of approximately 900 mW
  • Smaller DC/DC solution size and fewer components than LDO-based design
  • Maintains ADC performance metrics
  • Supports single 5-V input
