Direct-Reference Connection

Figure 8 shows an example of how to set up the EVM for single-supply operation with a direct voltage connection to the reference (REF pin).

sch_singledirectref_bou122.gifFigure 8. Single-Supply Configuration, Direct REF Connection

The following connections were made:

  1. +VS to V+ test point
  2. GND to V– test point
  3. Reference voltage to REF test point
  4. Differential input signal to V–IN and V+IN test points
  5. Observe output at VO test point

Note that C9 and C10 are prepopulated with 0.1-µF power-supply decoupling capacitors. It is not required to remove C9 for proper single-supply operation. Refer to the device data sheet for additional power-supply decoupling information.
