The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VREF, and then the analog input signal. This ensures proper operation and prevents damage to the device.
To optimize the analog input impedance, use a buffer amplifier with a high input impedance (>10 kΩ) and a low output impedance (<100 Ω) to minimize signal attenuation and distortion.
The maximum sampling rate for the ADS7841 is 200 kHz, but it can be limited by the analog input signal bandwidth and the system's noise floor.
The internal clock oscillator can be used as a clock source, but it's recommended to use an external clock source for better accuracy and stability. If using the internal oscillator, ensure it's properly bypassed with a 10 nF capacitor.
The CAL pin is used for calibration and should be connected to a 1.5 V reference voltage source. This pin is used to calibrate the ADC's internal voltage reference, ensuring accurate conversions.
