APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
in 1.67 10–6 fEOSCppm gain error. The typical +FS and
–FS errors for various combinations of source resistance
seen by the VREF pin and external capacitance connected
to that pin are shown in Figures 15-18.
In addition to this gain error, the converter INL per-
formance is degraded by the reference source imped-
ance. The INL is caused by the input dependent terms
–VIN2/(VREF REQ) – (0.5 VREF DT)/REQ in the reference
pin current as expressed in Figure 11. When using internal
oscillator and 60Hz mode, every 100Ω of reference source
resistance translates into about 0.67ppm additional INL
error. When using internal oscillator and 50Hz/60Hz mode,
every 100Ω of reference source resistance translates into
about 0.61ppm additional INL error. When using internal
oscillator and 50Hz mode, every 100Ω of reference source
resistance translates into about 0.56ppm additional INL
error. When fO is driven by an external oscillator with a
frequency fEOSC, every 100Ω of source resistance driving
