6.4.3.1 Output Set to External Reference Voltage

Connecting the reference pin to an external reference voltage results in an output voltage equal to the reference voltage for the condition of shorted input pins or a 0V differential input. Figure 6-4 shows this configuration. The output voltage decreases below the reference voltage when the IN+ pin is negative relative to the IN– pin and increases when the IN+ pin is positive relative to the IN– pin. This technique is the most accurate way to bias the output to a precise voltage.
