FIGURE 8 Typical Connection

the WR signal The WR input signal allows the A D to be
synchronized to a DSP system’s sampling rate or to other
ADC08061 and ADC08062s

The ADC08061 can perform accurate conversions of full-
scale input signals at frequencies from dc to more than
300 kHz (full power bandwidth) without the need of an exter-
nal sample-and-hold (S H)

7 0 LAYOUT GROUNDS AND BYPASSING

In order to ensure fast accurate conversions from the
ADC08061 2 it is necessary to use appropriate circuit
board layout techniques Ideally the analog-to-digital con-
verter’s ground reference should be low impedance and
free of noise from other parts of the system Digital circuits
can produce a great deal of noise on their ground returns

and therefore should have their own separate ground lines
Best performance is obtained using separate ground planes
for the digital and analog parts of the system

The analog inputs should be isolated from noisy signal
traces to avoid having spurious signals couple to the input
Any external component (e g an input filter capacitor) con-
nected across the inputs should be returned to a very clean
ground point Incorrectly grounding the ADC08061 2 will re-
sult in reduced conversion accuracy

should be bypassed with a parallel combination of a 0 1 mF
ceramic capacitor and a 10 mF tantalum capacitor placed as
close as possible to the supply pin using short circuit board
traces See
