AD9225

–21–

The digital activity on the AD9225 chip falls into two general

categories: correction logic and output drivers. The internal

correction logic draws relatively small surges of current, mainly

during the clock transitions. The output drivers draw large

current impulses while the output bits are changing. The size

and duration of these currents are a function of the load on the

output bits; large capacitive loads are to be avoided. Note that

the internal correction logic of the AD9225 is referenced to

AVDD while the output drivers are referenced to DRVDD.

The decoupling shown in Figure 34, a 0.1

mF ceramic chip

capacitor and a 10

mF tantalum capacitor, are appropriate for a

reasonable capacitive load on the digital outputs (typically

20 pF on each pin). Applications involving greater digital loads

should consider increasing the digital decoupling proportionally,

and/or using external buffers/latches.

A complete decoupling scheme will also include large tantalum

or electrolytic capacitors on the PCB to reduce low frequency

ripple to negligible levels. Refer to the AD9225/AD9225EB

schematic and layouts in Figures 35 to 41 for more information

regarding the placement of decoupling capacitors.
