A low-jitter, high-frequency clock source is recommended, such as a crystal oscillator or a high-quality clock generator. The clock source should be able to provide a stable clock signal with minimal phase noise and jitter.
To optimize the ADC's performance, consider factors such as input signal frequency, amplitude, and impedance, as well as the desired signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). Adjust the ADC's settings, such as the sampling rate, gain, and filtering, to achieve the best possible performance for your specific application.
The ADC12D1600CIUT/NOPB can handle input voltages up to 2.5Vpp differential or 1.25Vpp single-ended. Exceeding this voltage may result in reduced accuracy, increased distortion, or even damage to the device.
To ensure proper synchronization, use a common clock source for both the ADC and the DSP/FPGA. Additionally, use a synchronization signal, such as a frame sync or a clock enable signal, to ensure that the ADC and DSP/FPGA are properly aligned.
To minimize noise and interference, keep analog and digital signals separate and use proper shielding and grounding techniques. Use a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB) with a solid ground plane and separate analog and digital power supplies. Route analog signals away from digital signals and avoid crossing analog signals over digital signals.
