DAC8830: dac8830 supply

Part Number: DAC8830
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS8865, DAC8760, DAC8750, DAC7760, DAC7750

Hi

I am using DAC8830,ADS8865  in my  circuit  design ,I want to get more SNR(SFDR) in my ADC ,  I want  to know   that  can  I connect both  ADC & DAC  Analog  VA  power  to same  power rail ? or I have to to separate them ,How about  their   GNDs

both  of  them  connect  to micro  in   digital  side

Is  DAC8830  good choice to  make  ADC  DAC pair? I  mean Analog signal   first covert  to digital  then  whit  DAC convert   to Analog  again

my sample  rate is  100KSPS

thank  you

  • Vahid,

    The DAC8830 and ADS8865 input supply ranges do share some overlap so it is acceptable for them to be operating from the same power supply. Of course some considerations should be made regarding layout and selection of the power supply itself in addition to typical utilization of decoupling capacitors.

    You will find there is a bit of a divided opinion concerning layout best practices for mixed-signal design concerning split planes versus solid planes. In the end regardless of this piece of the approach the key is to consider the physics of return currents in the physical layout and mitigating the number of instances where any two devices interact with one another. With 16-bits of resolution in both the ADC and DAC you're pretty close to the commonly proposed border of where this level of care is necessary or not in order to achieve the desired performance level. In the end the necessity of this consideration comes down to your DC accuracy goals and sampling rate (along with digital interface speeds) to decide.

    Concerning whether the two devices make for a good pair, it's difficult to assess without understanding exactly what the application is and how the two parts would be interacting in that application.

  • Hi  Sir

    thank you  for you help

    if I want  to change the dac8830 output voltage  to current  (for  transmit signal about  50 miter  through  cable ) whats is your recommendation?

    the analog signal  BW  is  300-4000 HZ 

    can I  use   AD694   after  DAC  to  change it  to current?

    Is   there  any DAC  whit current  output   that  i use it  instead of  dac8830+ converter
    My prefer  design  is using  dac  whit current output  but   I am not sure about it

  • Vahid,

    As you have suggested there are products that essentially integrate both the DAC and the Voltage-to-Current converter circuit. The DAC8760 family of products offer four variants:

    - DAC8760: 16-bit Resolution, Programmable Voltage Output and Current Output Ranges
    - DAC8750: 16-bit Resolutiton, Programmable Current Output Ranges (No voltage outputs)
    - DAC7760: 16-bit Resolution, Programmable Voltage Output and Current Output Ranges
    - DAC7750: 16-bit Resolution, Programmable Current Output Ranges (No voltage outputs)

    These devices can all meet your minimum bandwidth requirements.
  •  Hi Kevin Duke

    thank you
      for your reply

    but  is not  these device  settling time  insufficient ? 

    10 us    meanies that   my  update rate would be up to 100 ksps

    how about  if i want to  have  better quality

    thank  you

  • Vahid,

    You previously mentioned 300Hz to 4kHz analog bandwidth, I suppose the target has changed if you are now requesting something faster than 100kHz or the original post had a typo. What is the settling time target?
