ADS7953: 7pcs ADS7953 share one Ref?

Part Number: ADS7953

Tool/software:

Hi team,

The customer uses 7 ADS7953s. Can only one reference voltage IC be used to supply 7 devices?

  • Hi Jimmy,

    It definitely can, but that also depends on the maximum supply current of the reference as well. Given that the max current consumption of the ADS7953 is 3mA, I would recommend a reference voltage that can supply higher than 25mA of current.

    An LDO with higher current sourcing capabilities is also okay to supply the +VA and VBD supplies. The reference voltage can be used to drive the REF pins, since this is what the devices uses as the ADC reference.

  • Hi Joel,

    you mean +VA need 3mA  right? If only REFM of p31. need 3mA? 

  • Hi Jimmy,

    Apologies, I was unclear on whether the supply was for the analog supply or for the REFx reference voltage input. Generally, a reference voltage IC should be able to drive the reference voltage inputs of 7x ADS7953s, as the current required once local decoupling capacitors are charged is minimal.
