ADS131A04: Driving ADC using external clock input of 25MHz

Part Number: ADS131A04

Hi

The datasheet specifies we can have a max. of 25MHz for external clock input frequency. The ADS131A04 EVM uses a crystal of 16.384MHz. Has anyone tried out using 25MHz clock for ADC? Is there an application example for this? Are there any special design considerations if one uses 25MHz?

thanks

  • Hello Rakhi,

    Since 25 MHz is within the datasheet specified bounds, you should expect the device to behave properly. The only consideration I wound advise you to make is to look at section 9.3.2 in the datasheet especially regarding the switched capacitor inputs as a higher modulator frequency will make the driver requirements more stringent.
