The REF6000 family of voltage references
have an integrated low output impedance buffer that enable the user to directly drive the
REF pin of precision data converters, while preserving linearity, distortion, and noise
performance. Most precision SAR and Delta-Sigma ADCs, switch binary-weighted capacitors onto
the REF pin during the conversion process. To support this dynamic load the output of the
voltage reference must be buffered with a low-output impedance (high-bandwidth) buffer. The
REF6000 family devices are an excellent choice, but not limited, to drive the REF pin of the
ADS88xx family of SAR ADCs, and ADS127xx family of delta-sigma ADCs, as well as other
digital-to-analog converters (DACs).
The REF6000 family of voltage references
are able to maintain an output voltage within 1LSB (18-bit) with minimal droop, even during
the first conversion while driving the REF pin of the ADS8881. This feature is useful in
burst-mode, event-triggered, equivalent-time sampling, and variable-sampling-rate
data-acquisition systems. The REF60xx variants of REF6000 family
specify a maximum temperature drift of just 5ppm/°C
and initial accuracy of 0.05% for both the voltage reference and the low output impedance
buffer combined. For various temperature drift options in REF6000 family, see the Device Comparison Table.
