JAJSHJ6B December 2011 – June 2019 AFE030
PRODUCTION DATA.
The REF1 and REF2 blocks create midscale power-supply biasing points used internally to the AFE030. Each reference divides its respective power-supply voltage in half with a precision resistive voltage divider. REF1 provides a PA_VS/2 voltage at the output of the PA, while REF2 provides an AVDD/2 voltage at the outputs of the Tx PGA, Tx Filter, Rx PGA1, Rx Filter, and Rx PGA2. Each REF block has its output brought out to an external pin that can be used for filtering and noise reduction. Figure 36 and Figure 37 show the proper connections of the external noise-reducing capacitors. These capacitors are optional, but are recommended for best performance.
