Power Supply Recommendations

To get the best performance out of the DACx1001, the power supply, grounding, and decoupling are very important. Use a PCB with a ground-plane reference, which helps in confining the digital return currents. A low mutual inductance path is created just beneath the high-frequency digital traces causing the return currents to follow the respective signal traces, thus minimizing crosstalk. On the other hand, dc signals spread over the ground plane without being confined below the signal trace. Therefore, in precision dc applications, limiting the common-impedance coupling is very difficult unless the ground planes are physically separated. Figure 72 shows a method to divide the grounds so that there is no common-mode current flow between the grounds, while maintaining the same dc potential across all grounds. This circuit assumes that the REFGND and LOAD-GND are provided from isolated power sources, therefore, there is no common-mode current flow through the reference or the load.

When the load circuit is powered from a source referenced to AGND, and the LOAD-GND is shorted to AGND at the far end, the AGND-OUT must no longer be shorted to AGND locally near the DAC. The local shorting creates a ground loop, otherwise. The resulting connection that avoids the ground loop is shown in Figure 73.

When the reference source is powered from a power source with AGND as the ground, there is a possibility of common-impedance coupling causing a code-dependent shift in the reference voltage. To avoid undesired coupling, drive REFGND using a buffer that maintains the reference ground potential equals to that of AGND-OUT, as shown in Figure 74.

Channel-to-channel dc crosstalk is a major concern in multichannel applications, such as battery test equipment. While the DACx1001 is single-channel, the crosstalk problem can appear at a system level when using multiple DACx1001 devices. The problem becomes severe when the grounds of the loads are shorted together creating a possible ground loop. In such cases, avoid the local short between AGND and AGND-OUT. Use a single short between AGND and DGND for all the DACs. If the PCB layout allows for the digital signal and analog power supplies to be kept separate, DGND and AGND can be combined to a single ground plane. Figure 75 shows an example circuit for minimizing dc crosstalk across DAC channels in a system.

Power-supply bypassing and decoupling is key to keeping power supply noise, switching transients, and common-mode currents away from the DAC output. There are three main objective of power-supply bypassing:

  • Filtering: Filter out noise and ripple from power supplies
  • Bypassing: Supply switching or load transient currents locally by avoiding trace inductances
  • Decoupling: Stop local transient currents from impacting other circuits

To achieve these objectives, use the following 3-element scheme. Place a decoupling capacitor close to every power supply pin to provide the local current path for load and circuit switching transients. This capacitor must be referenced to the respective load ground for best load transient suppression. Use a 0.1-µF to 1-µF, X7R, multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) for this purpose. For analog power supplies, a 10-Ω series resistor provides the best decoupling. For filtering the power-supply noise and ripple, 10-µF capacitors work best when placed at the power entry point of the board. An example decoupling scheme is shown in Figure 76.
