20-bit: 1-MSPS Isolator Optimized Data Acquisition Reference Design Maximizing SNR and Sample Rate

Description

TIDA-01037 is a 20-bit: 1 MSPS isolated analog input data acquisition reference design that utilizes two different isolator devices to maximize signal chain SNR and sample rate performance. For signals requiring low jitter: such as ADC sampling clocks: TI’s ISO73xx family of low jitter devices are used whereas TI’s high speed ISO78xx family of devices are used to maximize data sample rate. By combing these two isolator solutions: high frequency performance is significantly improved by minimizing sample clock jitter across the isolation boundary: and data throughput is improved by maximizing isolator signaling rate. Additional improvements are realized by utilizing TI’s advanced ADC multiSPITM and source-synchronous features. Finally: all key design theories are described and measured results presented.
