## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Sequencing
- Pitfall : Improper power-up sequence can latch internal ESD protection diodes
- Solution : Follow recommended sequence: AVDD1 → DVDD → IOVDD → AVDD2
Reference Voltage Stability
- Pitfall : Reference noise directly impacts ADC performance
- Solution : Use low-noise references (e.g., ADR4550) with proper decoupling (10 μF tantalum + 100 nF ceramic)
Clock Integrity
- Pitfall : Jitter in sampling clock degrades SNR performance
- Solution : Implement low-jitter clock sources (< 2 ps RMS) with proper termination
### Compatibility Issues
Digital Interface Compatibility
- Microcontrollers : Requires high-speed SPI interfaces (up to 80 MHz) or parallel interfaces
- FPGAs : Compatible with LVCMOS/LVTTL levels; ensure proper timing constraints
- Isolation : Digital isolators must support required data rates (ADuM140x series
