9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The primary circuits required to maximize the performance of a high-precision, successive approximation register (SAR), analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are the input driver and the reference driver circuits. This section details some general principles for designing the input driver circuit, reference driver circuit, and provides some application circuits designed for the ADS7886.
9.2 Typical Application

9.2.1 Design Requirements
The goal of this application is to design a single-supply digital acquisition (DAQ) circuit based on the ADS7886 with SNR greater than 72.5 dB and THD less than –84 dB for input frequencies of 2 kHz to 100 kHz at a throughput of 1 MSPS.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
To achieve a SINAD of 61 dB, the operational amplifier must have high bandwidth to settle the input signal within the acquisition time of the ADC. The operational amplifier must have low noise to keep the total system noise below 20% of the input-referred noise of the ADC. For the application circuit shown in Figure 29, OPA365 is selected for its high bandwidth (50 MHz) and low noise (4.5 nV√Hz).
The reference voltage for the ADS7887 and ADS7888 A/D converters are derived from the supply voltage internally. The supply to these converters must be driven with a low impedance source and must be decoupled to the ground. To drive supply pin of ADS7887 ultra-low noise fast transient response low dropout voltage regulator TPS73201 is selected. Alternatively one can drive supply pin with low impedance voltage reference similar to REF3030.
For a step-by-step design procedure for low power, small form factor digital acquisition (DAQ) circuit based on similar SAR ADCs, see TI Precision Design, Three 12-Bit Data Acquisition Reference Designs Optimized for Low Power and Ultra-Small Form Factor (TIDU390).
