PRODUCTION DATA
The device has an internal 2.5-V (nominal value) band-gap reference. In order to select the internal reference, the REFSEL pin must be tied high or connected to DVDD. When the internal reference is used, REFIO (pin 33) becomes an output pin with the internal reference value. A 100-nF (minimum) decoupling capacitor, as illustrated in Figure 7-6, is recommended to be placed between the REFIO pin and REFIO_GND (pin 34). The capacitor must be placed as close to the REFIO pin as possible. The output impedance of the internal band-gap creates a low-pass filter with this capacitor to band-limit the noise of the band-gap output. Using a smaller capacitor increases the reference noise in the system, thus degrading SNR and SINAD performance. Do not use the REFIO pin to drive external AC or DC loads because of the limited current output capability of the pin. The REFIO pin can be used as a reference source if followed by a suitable op amp buffer.
