ADS826E datasheet by Texas Instruments

ADS826E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the optimal clock frequency for the ADS826E?
  The optimal clock frequency for the ADS826E is between 1 MHz to 20 MHz. However, the device can operate with clock frequencies up to 40 MHz, but with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure accurate conversions with the ADS826E?
  To ensure accurate conversions, make sure to follow proper PCB layout guidelines, use a low-noise power supply, and ensure that the analog input signal is properly filtered and buffered.
• What is the purpose of the SYNC pin on the ADS826E?
  The SYNC pin is used to synchronize the conversion process with an external clock signal. It allows the ADC to start a new conversion on the rising edge of the SYNC signal.
• Can I use the ADS826E in a multiplexed configuration?
  Yes, the ADS826E can be used in a multiplexed configuration. However, you need to ensure that the analog input signal is properly multiplexed and that the ADC is properly configured to handle the multiplexed input.
• How do I handle the output data from the ADS826E?
  The ADS826E outputs 16-bit data in a serial format. You can use a microcontroller or an FPGA to receive and process the output data. Make sure to follow the correct data format and timing requirements.
