Texas Instruments provides a recommended layout and routing guide in the ADS1610IPAPR evaluation module documentation, which includes guidelines for PCB layout, component placement, and routing to minimize noise and ensure optimal performance.
The ADS1610IPAPR does not require calibration in the classical sense, but it does require a system-level calibration to ensure accurate measurements. This involves adjusting the gain and offset of the ADC using the onboard calibration registers, as well as performing a system-level calibration using an external reference voltage.
The ADS1610IPAPR has a maximum input voltage range of ±VREF (±4.096V typical), but it can be extended to ±10V using an external attenuator or amplifier. However, this requires careful consideration of the input impedance, noise, and distortion to ensure accurate measurements.
The ADS1610IPAPR has internal overvoltage protection up to ±12V, but it's recommended to add external protection circuitry, such as voltage-limiting resistors or diodes, to prevent damage from higher voltage transients or faults.
The recommended clock frequency for the ADS1610IPAPR is between 1 MHz and 20 MHz, with a typical frequency of 10 MHz. However, the clock frequency can be adjusted based on the specific application requirements and noise tolerance.
