Grounding and Layout Techniques

To obtain optimum performance from the AD7804/AD7805/

AD7808/AD7809 care should be taken with the layout. Causes

for concern would be feedthrough from the interface bus onto

the analog circuitry particularly the reference pins and ground

loops. The board should be designed such that the analog and

digital sections are separated as much as possible. Ground plan-

ing and shielding should be used as much as possible. Digital

and analog ground planes should only be joined in one place to

avoid ground loops. The ideal place to join the ground planes is

at the analog and digital ground pins of the DAC. Alternatively

a star ground should be established on the board to which all

other grounds are returned. Good decoupling is important in

achieving optimum performance. All supplies, analog or digital,

should be decoupled with 10

µF tantalum and 0.1 µF ceramic

capacitors to their respective grounds, and should be as close as

possible to the pins of the device. The main aim of the bypass-

ing element is to maximize the charge stored in the bypass loop

while simultaneously minimizing the inductance of this loop.

Inductance in the loop acts as an impedance to high frequency

transients and results in power supply spiking. By keeping the

decoupling as close as possible to the device, the loop area is kept

to a minimum thus reducing the possibility of power supply spikes.

On the AD7805 the REFOUT pin of the device is located next

to the DB9 of the data bus, to reduce the risk of digital feed-

through and noise being coupled from the digital section onto

the reference, the REFOUT pin and any trace connected to it

should be shielded with analog ground. To reduce the noise on

this reference it should be decoupled with a 0.01

µF capacitor to

analog ground, keeping the capacitor as close as possible to the

device. The comp pin which is the output from the internal

VDD/2 reference is located next to VOUTD on the DAC and is

sensitive to noise pickup and feedthrough from the DAC output

and thus should be shielded with analog ground to keep this

reference point as quiet as possible. The comp pin should be

decoupled both to AVDD and AGND with 1–10 nF ceramic

capacitors. The external REFIN pin should also be shielded

with analog ground from the digital pins located next to it.

The same precautions should be taken with the reference pins

on the AD7804/AD7808 to reduce the risk of noise pickup and

feedthrough.

Reference Settling Time

With the REFOUT on the AD7804/AD7805/AD7808/AD7809

decoupled with a 0.01

µF capacitor to AGND it takes the

REFOUT approximately 2 ms to fully settle after taking the

device out of power down. When this capacitor is reduced to

1 nF the settling time reduces to 150

µs. The size of the capaci-

tor required on the REFOUT depends to a large extent on the

layout, if the REFOUT is well shielded with AGND the size of

the capacitor can be reduced thus reducing the settling time for

the reference. The internal VDD/2 reference provided at the

comp pin when decoupled with a 1 nF capacitor to both AVDD

and AGND has very fast settling time, typically less than 500 ns.
