Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1282
Hi,
I have a requirement to use a 0.1ppm/year stable oscillator with 4x ADS1287-s, these oscillators usually come in a 10+MHz range,
What i see if I have two possibilities:
A) divide the reference clock down to somewhere close to 1.024MHz, use that to clock the ADC and use a pulse to SYNC the four ADCs once at startup.
B) divide the reference clock down to 1kHz and use that as a synchronizing-clock on the SYNC input. The 1.024MHz reference clock can be 40ppm, it doesn't matter
My questions are:
1) would a 1MHz clock instead of the 1.024MHz one result in a 976SPS instead of the set 1KSPS?
2) If I divide my 10MHz down to 1KHz and use that to continuously sync the ADCs while using a 40ppm 1.024MHz oscillator, would this get me a good sampling jitter? I mean if I connect a low jitter clock to the SYNC input, will I get the SNR I'd be expecting or the SYNC input does add a significant jitter to it?
3) Any recommendations on how to divide the 10MHz down to 1kHz and get a clean clock? Could use a simple counter, like the CD74HC4059M96 but maybe there's a better solution.
thank you,
kin regards,
Lorand
