Part Details for AD22100ST by Analog Devices Inc

A good PCB layout for the AD22100ST involves keeping the analog and digital grounds separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing noise coupling between the analog and digital sections. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog ground plane is recommended. Additionally, the device should be placed close to the analog signal sources, and the analog input traces should be kept short and shielded.

The AD22100ST has an internal calibration mechanism that can be used to calibrate the device for accurate temperature measurement. The calibration process involves applying a known temperature to the device and then using the CAL pin to store the calibration data. The device can be calibrated at multiple temperature points to improve accuracy across the entire temperature range.

The maximum cable length that can be used with the AD22100ST depends on the frequency of the signal and the type of cable used. As a general rule, the cable length should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal attenuation and noise pickup. For a 2-wire RTD configuration, a cable length of up to 100 meters is possible, while for a 3-wire RTD configuration, a cable length of up to 300 meters is possible.

Yes, the AD22100ST can be used in a multi-drop configuration, where multiple devices are connected to a single bus. However, the maximum number of devices that can be connected depends on the bus capacitance and the signal frequency. A maximum of 10 devices can be connected to a single bus, and the bus capacitance should be kept below 1000 pF to ensure reliable operation.

To troubleshoot common issues with the AD22100ST, start by checking the power supply voltage and ensuring that it is within the recommended range. Next, check the analog input connections and ensure that they are clean and free of noise. For communication errors, check the serial interface connections and ensure that the baud rate and data format are correct. If the issue persists, try resetting the device or re-calibrating it. If all else fails, consult the datasheet and application notes for further troubleshooting guidance.
