For DC coupled SYSREF applications, some
data converters can require a lower common voltage for the SYSREF outputs than the
output can support. For these applications, a resistive divider can be used to reduce
the common mode voltage. However, when a path to ground is there, the loading inherently
reduces the common mode voltage. For a few test cases, the common mode voltage is
measured as shown in.
Table 8-1. Note that this table is for the SYSREFOUTx pins, not the
LOGISYSREFout pins.

Once the load as seen by the SYSREFOUTx pins is known, the V
OD and
V
CM voltage at those pins can be known. From this point, a resistive
divider can be used to create the desired V
OD and V
CM voltages as
shown in
Figure 8-6 and
Figure 8-7.
These examples lead to the calculations in
Table 8-2. Note that the resistive divider reduces the V
OD,
V
CM, and ∆V
CM (typical variation in V
CM).
