3 Conclusion

As shown by the test results, a simplified power supply design using the TPS62913 low-ripple and low-noise buck converts can provide similar performance to the traditional SMPS + LDO approach. The Analog, Digital, and Clock rails are all supplied using the switching regulator without the need for a low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) while maintaining the same performance as the original design. The SNR, SFDR, and NSD performance is similar to the SMPS + LDO approach. Use of the TPS62913 design reduces the power consumption by 1.5W (15% power savings), reduces the size of the design, and reduces the temperature rise of the power supply components.

Although this design used the ADC12DJ5200, other ADCs that require low noise power supplies that are size constrained and thermal constrained can also use this approach. Examples of applications are RF converters in the GSPS region such as RADAR, test and measurement instrumentation, and communications.
