POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING AND GROUNDING
When accuracy is important in an application, it is beneficial to
consider power supply and ground return layout on the PCB.
The PCB for the AD5821 should have separate analog and digital
power supply sections. Where shared AGND and DGND is
necessary, the connection of grounds should be made at only
one point, as close as possible to the AD5821.
Special attention should be paid to the layout of the AGND return
path and, and it should be tracked between the voice coil motor
and I
SINK
to minimize any series resistance. Figure 24 shows the
output current sink of the AD5821 and illustrates the importance
of reducing the effective series impedance of AGND and the track
resistance between the motor and I
SINK
. The voice coil is modeled
as Inductor L
C
and Resistor R
C
. The current through the voice coil
is effectively a dc current that results in a voltage drop, V
C
, when
the AD5821 is sinking current. The effect of any series inductance
is minimal.
