- *Solution*: Implement multi-stage decoupling with 10μF tantalum, 1μF ceramic, and 100nF ceramic capacitors at each power pin
Clock Integrity Issues :
- *Pitfall*: Jittery clock signals reducing effective resolution
- *Solution*: Use low-jitter clock sources and maintain controlled impedance clock traces
Analog Input Configuration :
- *Pitfall*: Improper differential pair routing introducing common-mode noise
- *Solution*: Maintain symmetrical routing with matched trace lengths for differential inputs
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Digital Processors :
- Compatible : Most modern microcontrollers and FPGAs with SPI interfaces
- Incompatible : Processors without SPI capability or insufficient timing margins
- Workaround : Use SPI-to-parallel converters or select compatible host processors
Voltage References :
- Recommended : Low-noise, high-stability references (e.g., LTZ1000, REF50xx series)
- Avoid : References with poor temperature stability or high noise characteristics
Amplifier Pairing :
- Optimal : Low-noise, high-speed operational amplifiers (OPA1612, ADA4898-1)
- Suboptimal : Amplifiers with limited bandwidth or high distortion
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution :
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital supplies
- Implement star-point grounding at the ADC's ground pin
