12.12.1 Analog Power Supply and Reference
Pins
Depending on the MCU pin count, the package
may feature separate V
power supply pins. These pins supply power to the
A/D converter cell and function as the high and low
reference voltages for the conversion.
Separation of the digital and analog power pins al-
low board designers to improve A/D performance.
Conversion accuracy can be impacted by voltage
drops and noise in the event of heavily loaded or
badly decoupled power supply lines (see
12.12.2 General PCB Design
12.12.2 General PCB Design Guidelines
To obtain best results, some general design and
layout rules should be followed when designing
the application PCB to shield the noise-sensitive,
analog physical interface from noise-generating
CMOS logic signals.

Analog signals paths should run over the analog
ground plane and be as short as possible. Isolate
analog signals from digital signals that may
switch while the analog inputs are being sampled
by the A/D converter. Do not toggle digital out-
