7.3.3 Voltage Reference

The internal precision voltage reference circuit offers low-drift performance at the REFOUT output pin, and is used for internal biasing. The reference output is intended to be the common-mode voltage of the output (the VOUT pin) to provide a bipolar signal swing. This low-impedance output tolerates sink and source currents of ±5 mA. However, fast load transients can generate ringing on this line. A small series resistor of a few ohms improves the response, particularly for capacitive loads equal to or greater than 1 μF.

To adjust the value of the voltage reference output to the power supply of the DRV425-Q1, use mode selection pins RSEL0 and RSEL1, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Reference Output Voltage Selection

MODE RSEL1 RSEL0 DESCRIPTION
VREFOUT = 2.5 V 0 0 Use with a sensor module supply of 5 V
VREFOUT = 1.65 V 0 1 Use with a sensor module supply of 3.3 V
Ratiometric output 1 x Provides an output centered on VDD / 2

In ratiometric output mode, an internal resistor divider divides the power-supply voltage by a factor of two.
