_____________Analog Considerations

Reference and Input

zero and the full-scale of the ADC. In other words, the

duces an output code of all zeros, and the voltage at

code of all ones (Figure 7).

Figure 8 shows some possible reference configura-

tions. For the MAX154/MAX158, a 0.01µF bypass

capacitor to GND should be used to reduce the high-

frequency output impedance of the internal reference.

Larger capacitors should not be used, as this degrades

the stability of the reference buffer. The 2.5V reference

output is with respect to the GND pin.

Bypassing

A 47µF electrolytic and 0.1µF ceramic capacitor should

tors must have minimum lead length, since excess lead

length may contribute to conversion errors and instability.

If the reference inputs are driven by long lines, they

should be bypassed to GND with 0.1µF capacitors at

the reference input pins.
