Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the AFE1230E evaluation module (EVM) user's guide, which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and grounding to minimize noise and ensure optimal performance.
The AFE1230E's ADC can be optimized by adjusting the clock frequency, gain settings, and filter configurations based on the specific requirements of the application. TI provides an ADC optimization guide in the device's user's guide, which includes guidelines for selecting the optimal ADC settings.
The AFE1230E can handle input voltages up to ±10V, but it's recommended to limit the input voltage to ±5V to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage to the device.
The AFE1230E has a built-in anti-aliasing filter, but additional external filtering may be required depending on the application. TI provides guidelines for implementing anti-aliasing filtering in the device's user's guide, including recommendations for filter types and component values.
The AFE1230E's ADC conversion process has a latency of approximately 2.5 clock cycles, which corresponds to a latency of around 100 ns at a clock frequency of 40 MHz.
