ADC128S102: ADC128S102 Chip Select Monotonicity

Part Number: ADC128S102

Must CS be clean an monotonic like a clock? Or is it ok if it rings a bit and then settles out. The datasheet has a setup/hold requirement, but the pin description describes it as edge sensitive. thank you

  • Hello,

    Unless the signal lines are overdamped, then most digital signals have some small ringing and overshoot.  Unless the signal levels of the overshoot/ringing pass through the Vih/Vil levels then they will likely not negatively affect the communication.

    You may consider adding a small 33Ohm resistor in series with each of the lines to combine with the capacitance of the trace to help reduce the ringing and reflections.
