Part Details for AD7846JP by Analog Devices Inc

The AD7846JP requires careful layout and routing to minimize noise and ensure optimal performance. It is recommended to follow the layout guidelines provided in the datasheet, including keeping the analog and digital grounds separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the analog signal traces. Additionally, it is recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog power plane and a dedicated digital power plane.

The AD7846JP has an internal 2.5V reference voltage that can be enabled or disabled depending on the application. To configure the internal reference voltage, the REFEN pin should be tied to VCC or GND accordingly. When REFEN is tied to VCC, the internal reference voltage is enabled, and when it is tied to GND, the internal reference voltage is disabled. It is also important to ensure that the reference voltage is properly decoupled with a 10uF capacitor to minimize noise.

The AD7846JP has a maximum sampling rate of 200 kHz, but this can be affected by the clock frequency, the conversion mode, and the output data format. In general, the maximum sampling rate is achieved when the clock frequency is set to 2.5 MHz, the conversion mode is set to simultaneous sampling, and the output data format is set to 16-bit binary. However, the actual sampling rate may be lower depending on the specific application and system requirements.

The AD7846JP has a power-on reset (POR) circuit that ensures that the device is in a known state after power-up. To handle the POR, it is recommended to tie the POR pin to VCC through a 10kΩ resistor and a 10uF capacitor to ensure a clean power-up sequence. During power-down, it is recommended to sequence the power-down of the analog and digital supplies to prevent any unwanted voltage transients. The digital supply should be powered down first, followed by the analog supply.

The AD7846JP's ADCs can be calibrated using an internal calibration mode or an external calibration method. The internal calibration mode is initiated by setting the CAL pin high, which allows the device to perform a self-calibration routine. The external calibration method involves applying a known input voltage to the ADC inputs and adjusting the offset and gain registers to achieve the desired accuracy. It is recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for more detailed information on the calibration procedure.
