PRODUCTION DATA
The ADS911x features a data output randomizer. When enabled, the ADC conversion result is bit-wise exclusive-ORed (XOR). Figure 7-7 illustrates a diagram of such an XOR operation. Either the LSB of the conversion result (Figure 7-8) or the XOR_PRBS bit (default) is appended to the ADC data output (Figure 7-9). The LSB of the ADC conversion result and XOR_PRBS have equal probability of being either 1 or 0. As a result of the XOR operation, the data output from the ADS911x is randomized. The ground bounce created by the transmission of this randomized result over the data interface is uncorrelated with the analog input voltage. This uncorrelated transmission helps minimize interference between data transmission and analog performance of the ADC when the PCB layout does not minimize ground bounce.
