Overview

This “18-bit, 2-Msps Isolated Data Acquisition Reference Design to achieve maximum SNR and sampling rate”  illustrates how to overcome performance-limiting challenges typical of isolated data acquisition system design:

  • Maximizing sampling rate by minimizing propagation delay introduced by digital isolator
  • Maximizing high-frequency AC signal chain performance (SNR) by effectively mitigating ADC sampling clock jitter introduced by the digital isolator

Features
  • 18-Bit, 2Msps, 1-Ch, differential input, isolated data acquisition (DAQ) system
  • Leverages multiSPI™ digital interface of ADS9110 to achieve 2MSPS sampling rate while maintaining a low SPI data rate
  • Source synchronous SPI data transfer mode to minimize isolator propagation delay and improve sampling rate
  • Techniques to reduce Isolator-induced jitter resulting in 12dB improvement in SNR (100kHz Fin, 2-MSPS)
  • Tested design includes theory and calculations, component selection, PCB design, and measurement results
