Alternatively, an external reference can be applied to the
V
REFIN
/V
REFOUT
pin of the AD7933/AD7934. An external
reference input is selected by setting the REF bit in the internal
control register to 0. When using an external reference, the
V
REFIN
/V
REFOUT
pin should be decoupled to AGND with a 0.1 μF
capacitor. When operating in differential mode, the external
reference input range is 0.1 V to 3.5V, and in single-ended and
pseudo-differential mode, the external reference input range is
0.1 V to V
DD
. In all cases, the specified reference is 2.5 V.
V
REF
MAX
= 2.6 V
Therefore, when operating with at V
DD
= 3 V, the value of
V
REF
can range from 100 mV to a maximum value of 2.4 V. When
V
DD
= 2.7 V,
V
REF
MAX
= 2 V.
These examples show that the maximum reference applied to
the AD7933/AD7934 is directly dependant on the value applied
to V
DD
.
It is important to ensure that, when choosing the reference
value, the maximum analog input range (V
IN MAX
) is never
greater than V
DD
+ 0.3 V to comply with the maximum ratings
of the device. In pseudo differential mode, the user must ensure
that V
REFIN
V
IN
≤ V
DD
.
The performance of the part at different reference values is
shown in Figures TBD to TBD. The value of the reference sets
the analog input span and the common-mode voltage range.
Errors in the reference source result in gain errors in the
AD7933/AD7934 transfer function and add to the specified
full-scale errors on the part.
