ADS8689: How to power?

Part Number: ADS8689

Hello,

I just bought this part for a school project. I am wondering what the best way to power this ADC is. Do I need two separate power supplies for AVDD and DVDD? I am going to be communicating with it using a Raspberry Pi so I should be able to use 3.3v from that for DVDD, I'm just not sure about AVDD.

Thanks,

Marco

    Hi Marco,
    The AVDD supply range specified in ADS8689 datasheet is 4.75V to 5.25V, a +5V power supply is recommended for AVDD, so you can use 3.3V for DVDD but you have to provide a +5V supply for AVDD. Also, the supplies should be decoupled with AGND/DGND with a proper capacitor on each supply pin. Please refer to the power supply recommendations and layout guidelines in the datasheet.
    Best regards

    Thanks for the reply Dale,
    I think I was able to figure that out after reading the datasheet some more.
    I'm still confused on if the +5V and 3.3V can be pulled from the same source (i.e using the 5V and 3.3V pins on the Pi) or must they be two complete different sources?

    Hi Marco,

    The source for the supplies on the ADC is not limited, but a clean power supply is always recommended especially for AVDD, otherwise, it will degrade the performance specified in ADC's datasheet because the power-supply rejection ability(PSRR) on the ADC is variable and limited with ripple/noise frequency, please refer to the below graph from ADS8689's datasheet, this is the reason why we often use LDO to provide a clean analog power supply to ADC on our EVM boards or reference designs, for example, TPS7A4700 or TPS7A4901. I hope this explanation is helpful for you, thanks.

    Best regards
