Analog Devices Precision A/D Converters: Can ceramic capacitors be used as the capacitors connected to CAP (pin 6), REF (pin 7), and VANA (pin 27) on the LTC1609?

A/D converter (ADC)

Yes, there is no problem with using ceramic capacitors.


When using ceramic capacitors, please pay attention to the following items.
・Depending on the dielectric material, the capacitance may vary greatly depending on temperature, DC bias, and AC signal level.
• Due to the piezoelectric properties of dielectrics, vibrations and mechanical shocks can be converted into AC noise voltages.
