8.2 Typical Application

Figure 8-2 shows a low-power reference and conditioning circuit. This circuit attenuates and level-shifts a bipolar input voltage within the proper input range of a single-supply, low-power, 16-bit ΔΣ ADC, such as the one inside the MSP430™ or other similar single-supply ADCs. Precision reference circuits are used to level-shift the input signal, provide the ADC reference voltage, and to create a well-regulated supply voltage for the low-power analog circuitry. A low-power, zero-drift, op-amp circuit is used to attenuate and level-shift the input signal.
