ADC168M102R-SEP: What is recommended termination for CS', CLOCK, BUSY, SDI, RD, SDOA, SDOB, CONVST?

Part Number: ADC168M102R-SEP


We are running the clock at 40 MHz. What is the recommended termination for the following pins:

CLOCK

CS'

BUSY

SDI

RD

SDOA

SDOB

CONVST

  • Hi Charles,

    For the most part, assuming relatively short trace lengths and fast rise and fall times (<5ns), we recommend 22-50Ω series termination resistors in order to avoid ringing and overshoot from fast signal edges.

    SPI/serial lines don't necessarily require 50Ω characteristic trace, but it is common to design for it. If that's the case on your board, then you can place a 50Ω resistor near the driver to match the trace impedance.
