ADC3681: Ferrite Bead recommendation

Part Number: ADC3681

The ADC3681 recommends using ferrite beads on the outputs of LDO used to provide the AVDD and IOVDD supplies as shown in Figure 9-8 of the data sheet.  Is there a recommended bead or spec for the bead that should be followed? 

The eval board uses switchers for these voltages with a large Murata bead/filter on the outputs, while other LDOs on the board that power clocking and input amplifier use a simpler 120 ohm (@100 MHz) bead.  Would this 120 ohm bead work for the AVDD LDO output? 

  • Hi Mark,

    Yes, the ferrite bead in the bill of materials for the EVM is what we would recommend. I am sure there are other suitable subs that other vendors may offer.

    Keep in mind, when using a ferrite bead, or additional filtering on the power supply rails, that you may need to up the voltage a bit to overcome any loss of the ferrite bead, etc.

    For example, if the AVDD rail is 1.8V, you may set the output of the LDO to 1.9V.

    Regards,
