ADS7816E/2K5G4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

ADS7816E/2K5G4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and routing for the ADS7816E/2K5G4 to minimize noise and ensure accurate conversions?
  Texas Instruments provides a layout and routing guide in the application note SLAA554, which recommends keeping the analog and digital grounds separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the analog input traces.
• How do I calibrate the ADS7816E/2K5G4 to achieve the highest accuracy?
  The ADS7816E/2K5G4 has an internal calibration circuit that can be used to calibrate the device. The calibration process involves applying a known input voltage and reading the output code. The device can then be calibrated using the internal calibration circuit or through external calibration using a microcontroller.
• What is the maximum sampling rate that can be achieved with the ADS7816E/2K5G4?
  The maximum sampling rate of the ADS7816E/2K5G4 is 250 kSPS. However, the actual sampling rate may be limited by the system clock frequency, the conversion time, and the settling time of the analog input signal.
• How do I handle the digital output data from the ADS7816E/2K5G4?
  The ADS7816E/2K5G4 outputs 16-bit digital data in a binary two's complement format. The data can be read using a microcontroller or a digital signal processor, and can be processed using software or hardware algorithms to extract the desired information.
• What is the power consumption of the ADS7816E/2K5G4, and how can I reduce it?
  The power consumption of the ADS7816E/2K5G4 is typically around 15 mW at a supply voltage of 2.7 V. The power consumption can be reduced by using a lower supply voltage, reducing the sampling rate, or using the device's power-down mode.
