TIDA-01027 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Low-noise power supply reference design maximizing performance in 12.8-GSPS data acquisition systems

Description

This reference design demonstrates an efficient: low noise 5-rail power-supply design for very high-speed DAQ systems capable of > 12.8 GSPS. The power supply DC/DC converters are frequency synchronized and phase-shifted in order to minimize input current ripple and control frequency content. Furthermore: any potential radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) is minimized by using high performance HotRodTM packaging technology.

Features
  • Efficient: low-noise: point-of-load DAQ power supply for very high-speed AFEPhase-shifting DC/DC converter clocks to reduce inrush current and power-supply noiseExternal frequency sync to manage DC/DC converters spursConfigure output with ability to bypass each LDO and use just the DC/DC converter and filterUsed with TIDA-01022 and TIDA-01028 to show the impact on a 12.8 GSPS AFE with 9 GHz of analog BW
