TIDA-01035

Design files

Overview

The TIDA-01035 is a 20-bit, 1 MSPS isolated analog input data acquisition reference design demonstrating how to resolve and optimize performance challenges typical of digitally isolated data acquisition systems.

  • Significantly improves high frequency AC signal chain performance (SNR  and THD) by effectively mitigating ADC  sample clock jitter across isolation boundary
  • Maximizes sample rate by eliminating/minimizing  propagation delay introduced by a digital isolator
  • Provides option to evaluate performance with and without jitter mitigation technique with jumper
  • Includes detailed timing analysis detailing the isolator’s additive jitter impact on data throughput

Features
  • Isolated 20-bit, 1-MSPS, single channel  differential Input Data Acquisition (DAQ) system
  • Jitter mitigation technique realizes more than 18-dB  system-level SNR improvement for high frequency input signals (100 kHz Fin, 1 MSPS)
  • Reduced logic (on isolated ADC side) eliminates need for higher power and complex PLL solutions
  • Achieves 1-MSPS sampling rate while preserving low SPI CLK rates with the ADS8900B ADC’s innovative multiSPI™ and ADC-master or Source-Synchronous mode digital interfaces
  • Includes theory, calculations, component selection, PCB design and measurement results
