The device sampling rate can be maximized by using a 34MHz clock even for lower throughputs. Table 2 shows
typical calculations for the ADS7947(12-bit).

It is necessary to allow 1000ns additional sampling time over what is shown in Table 2 if PDEN (pin 12) is set
high.
PCB LAYOUT/SCHEMATIC GUIDELINES
ADCs are mixed-signal devices. For maximum performance, proper decoupling, grounding, and proper
termination of digital signals is essential. Figure 54 shows the essential components around the ADC. All
capacitors shown are ceramic. These decoupling capacitors must be placed close to the respective signal pins.
There is a 47Ω source series termination resistor shown on the SDO signal. This resistor must be placed as
close to pin 15 as possible. Series terminations for SCLK and CS must be placed close to the host.
