The analog section contains TLC2274 Rail to Rail OpAmp and PCF8591 ADC.

TLC2274 is a fantastic chip, but take care, that less than 1mA is flowing through the outputs!


Now the question is whats the best way to generate -5V for this application.

Quite simple, use an additonal 9V battery for the 79L05, as I do in most of my applications.


With transformer powered devices my usual practice has been connecting the Analog and Digital Ground planes under the ADC. but in this case since both analog as well as Digital ground are also connected at battery -ve terminal there is no need to connect AGND and DGND at ADC. Am I right?

In order to prevent digital ground return currents to flow across the analog ground routing a strict separation of analog and digital ground is necessary. Both grounds must be connected at only one place, best directly at ADC. Also, as digital and analog section both share the same positive supply voltage, low pass filters in the supply lines are helpful.
In the following example both can be seen, the star point grounding and filters in the supply lines (shown "MCP3201" is a 12bit ADC):



You can also insert a LRC filter into the supply line of your micro.
In your application you can use LRC filters consisting of a good ferrite bead (e.g. 6 hole choke), a 4R7 resistor and a parallel combination of 100n X7R and 10ยต/10V tantal. This combination can be used for the micro, the PCF8591 and the TLC2274. (Each one gets his own, of course.)

One last hint: Check the idle currents of 78L05 and 79L05. No more than 3mA should flow!
