PRODUCTION DATA
The filtering configuration shown in Figure 8-3 illustrates a scalable approach that can be adapted based on system noise conditions and routing requirements. At a minimum, a capacitor (CLOAD) can be placed at the VOUT pin to provide local high-frequency filtering. Because this capacitor directly loads the output stage, the capacitor value must be selected in accordance with the capacitive-load drive capability described in Section 7.3.2.2. In applications without a series isolation resistor, the total effective capacitance seen at VOUT must not exceed 2.2nF.
A series isolation resistor (RISO), shown in Figure 8-3, is recommended for applications with downstream filtering, long trace lengths, or unknown capacitive loading. When RISO is greater than or equal to 300Ω, the output maintains a phase margin of at least 45° across the full capacitive-load range, allowing greater flexibility in downstream filtering.
An RC filter placed near the ADC input, consisting of RFLT_2 and CFLT_2, is recommended to attenuate high-frequency noise and to isolate the sensor output from ADC sampling transients. This stage represents the primary signal-conditioning filter for most applications.
Additional filtering stages, such as CFLT_1 and RFLT_1, can be used to further attenuate noise in systems with long routing distances or elevated electromagnetic interference. These stages are applied only as needed, based on system-level evaluation. Optional ferrite beads can be inserted in the signal path or supply path to suppress high-frequency interference. RFLT_3 is only required when the optional ferrite bead is populated, where it provides damping between the ferrite bead and downstream capacitance to suppress resonance and maintain stable filter behavior.
On the supply path, a local bypass capacitor (CBYPASS) must always be placed close to the VDD pin. Additional filtering using a ferrite bead and capacitor (CFLT_3) can be used to reduce conducted noise on the supply line. Only the capacitance directly connected to VOUT contributes to the effective load seen by the output stage. Capacitance located downstream of RISO does not affect output stability.
The component values used in Figure 8-3 provide a recommended starting point; however, the final values depend on system-level conditions, including noise spectrum, ADC characteristics, and PCB layout, and must be validated during system design.
