The recommended power-on sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VREF, and then the clock signal. This ensures proper device operation and prevents latch-up.
To enter power-down mode, set the PD pin low. In this mode, the device consumes minimal power. To exit power-down mode, set the PD pin high. Note that the device takes some time to recover from power-down mode, so ensure that the PD pin is held high for at least 100 ns before initiating a conversion.
The REFBUF pin is an output that buffers the internal reference voltage. You can use this pin to provide a reference voltage to other devices in your system. However, note that the REFBUF pin is only enabled when the REFEN pin is high. Also, ensure that the load current on the REFBUF pin does not exceed 1 mA.
To ensure accurate conversions, ensure that the input signal is within the specified range, and that the reference voltage is stable and accurate. Also, use a low-noise, low-impedance clock source, and minimize digital noise in the system. Additionally, consider using a capacitor on the REF pin to filter out noise and improve conversion accuracy.
The maximum clock frequency that can be used with the ADS7834EB/2K5 is 1.5 MHz. However, the recommended clock frequency is 1 MHz to ensure optimal performance and accuracy.
