PRODUCTION DATA
For data sheet performance, the ADC requires a reference voltage with low noise and good drive strength to charge the sampled reference input. Because the modulator continuously samples the reference voltage whether conversions are ongoing or not (except for standby and power-down modes), the reference loading is constant. Therefore, incomplete settling of the reference voltage appears as a gain error to the system. The gain error is removed by performing user calibration. A 22μF decoupling capacitor at the reference output and 1μF and 0.1μF capacitors directly across the reference input pins filters the reference kickback voltage. This voltage is caused by capacitor sampling. The ADC incorporates an optional reference precharge buffer that greatly reduces the kickback voltage and gain error.
