Applications with only a positive
supply voltage often require additional stable voltage in the middle of the
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input range to bias input bipolar signals. The
REF20xx provides a reference voltage (VREF) for the ADC and a second
highly-accurate voltage (VBIAS) that can be used to bias the input
bipolar signals.
The REF20xx offers excellent
temperature drift (8ppm/°C, maximum) and initial accuracy (0.05%) on both the
VREF and VBIAS outputs while operating at a quiescent
current less than 430µA. In addition, the VREF and VBIAS
outputs track each other with a precision of 6ppm/°C (maximum) across the
temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. All these features increase the precision of
the signal chain and decrease board space, while reducing the cost of the system as
compared to a discrete solution. Extremely low dropout voltage of only 10mV allows
operation from very low input voltages, which can be very useful in battery-operated
systems.
Both the VREF and
VBIAS voltages have the same excellent specifications and can sink
and source current equally well. Very good long-term stability and low noise levels
make these devices ideally-designed for high-precision industrial applications.
