ADS1220: Search for analog power supply ADS1220

Part Number: ADS1220

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am looking for a supply with a Vout of 3.3 V for the AVDD of the ADS1220 ADC. Currently, I have Vin = 24 V, from which I derive the 3.3 V for the entire PCB using a switching converter.
The digital and analog grounds are not separated. For the AVDD of the microcontroller, which is not critical, I use a ferrite bead and the same 3.3 V for the digital part. However, for the external ADC, I  think it would be better to have a cleaner power source, or not?

Thank you,
Matteo

  • Hi Matteo,

    Yes, a clean and low noise power supply is recommended for the standalone ADC, especially AVDD. The ripple and noise on the AVDD power supply will lead to an error on your measurement.

  • Hi Dale,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Can you recommend me an LDO for AVDD (ADS1220)?
    I want to power the analog section with 3.3 V.
    Since I only need to power this ADC, a voltage reference or an ultra low dropout regulator might also be suitable. Could I potentially use the 3.3 V for DVDD as a source for the regulator?

    Best regards,
    Matteo
