7.3.3 Voltage Reference Input

The ADC requires a reference voltage for operation. The reference voltage input is differential, defined as the voltage between the REFP and REFN pins: VREF = VREFP – VREFN. Because of the differential input, the VREFN trace can be routed to the voltage reference ground terminal to avoid ground noise pickup.

The device offers the choice of three reference voltages: 5V, 4.096V, or 2.5V. Maximum dynamic range performance is achieved using VREF = 5V or 4.096V, which requires AVDD1 = 5V for operation. If AVDD1 = 3.3V, the reference voltage is limited to 2.5V. Program the reference voltage to match the physical voltage by the REF[1:0] bits of the CONFIG1 register. Use a precision voltage reference with low noise, optimally less than 0.5μVRMS over the measurement bandwidth.

Figure 7-8 illustrates a simplified reference input circuit. Similar to the analog inputs, the reference inputs are protected by ESD diodes. If the reference inputs are driven below AVSS – 0.3V or above AVDD1 + 0.3V, the protection diodes can conduct. If these conditions are possible, use external clamp diodes, series resistors, or both to limit the reference input current to the specified value.

The ADC samples the reference voltage by an internal capacitor (CREF) and then discharges the capacitor at the modulator sampling frequency (fMOD). The sampling operation results in transient current flow into the reference inputs. The transient current is filtered by a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed directly at the reference pins with a larger 10μF to 47μF capacitor at the voltage reference output. In applications where the voltage reference drives multiple ADCs, use 0.1µF capacitors at each ADC.

The external capacitor filters the current transients, resulting in an average reference current. The average reference current is 110μA/V for high- and mid-power operating modes and 80μA/V for low-power operating mode. For example, with VREF = 4.096V, the reference input current is 110μA / V × 4.096V = 451μA.
