Reference Decoupling
Whether using an internal or external reference, the
AD7699voltage reference output/input, REF, has a dynamic input
impedance and should therefore be driven by a low impedance
source with efficient decoupling between the REF and GND
pins. This decoupling depends on the choice of the voltage
reference but usually consists of a low ESR capacitor connected
to REF and GND with minimum parasitic inductance. A 10 μF
(X5R, 1206 size) ceramic chip capacitor is appropriate when using
The placement of the reference decoupling capacitor is also
important to the performance of the
AD7699, as explained in the
Layout section. Mount the decoupling capacitor on the same side as
the ADC at the REF pin with a thick PCB trace. The GND should
also connect to the reference decoupling capacitor with the shortest
distance and to the analog ground plane with several vias.
Figure 32. PSRR vs. Frequency
The
AD7699 powers down automatically at the end of each
conversion phase; therefore, the operating currents and power
scale linearly with the sampling rate. This makes the part ideal
for low sampling rates (even of a few hertz) and low battery-
powered applications.
If desired, smaller reference decoupling capacitor values down
to 2.2 μF can be used with a minimal impact on performance,
especially on DNL.

Regardless, there is no need for an additional lower value ceramic
decoupling capacitor (for example, 100 nF) between the REF
and GND pins.
For applications that use multiple
AD7699s or other PulSAR
devices, it is more effective to use the internal reference buffer
to buffer the external reference voltage, thus reducing SAR
conversion crosstalk.
The voltage reference temperature coefficient (TC) directly
impacts full scale; therefore, in applications where full-scale
accuracy matters, care must be taken with the TC. For instance,
a ±15 ppm/°C TC of the reference changes full scale by ±1 LSB/°C.

POWER SUPPLY
SUPPLYING THE ADC FROM THE REFERENCE
The
AD7699 uses two power supply pins: an analog and digital
core supply (VDD) and a digital input/output interface supply
(VIO). VIO allows direct interface with any logic between 1.8 V
and VDD. To reduce the supplies needed, the VIO and VDD pins
can be tied together. The
AD7699 is independent of power supply
sequencing between VIO and VDD. The only restriction is that
CNV must be low when powering up the
AD7699. Additionally,
it is very insensitive to power supply variations over a wide
For simplified applications, the
AD7699, with its low operating
current, can be supplied directly using the reference circuit, as
shown in
Figure 34. The reference line can be driven by
