Figure 26. Reference Buffer Equivalent Circuit and
External Decoupling Recommendation
For best results in both noise suppression and robustness
against crosstalk, the 4-capacitor buffer decoupling arrangement
shown in Figure 26 is recommended. This decoupling should

feature chip capacitors located close to the converter IC. The
capacitors are connected to either IREFT/IREFB or QREFT/
QREFB. A connection to both sides is not required.
COMMON-MODE PERFORMANCE
Attention to the common-mode point of the analog input volt-
age can improve the performance of the AD9281. Figure 27
illustrates THD as a function of common-mode voltage (center
point of the analog input span) and power supply.
Inspection of the curves will yield the following conclusions:
1. An AD9281 running with AVDD = 5 V is the easiest to
drive.
2. Differential inputs are the most insensitive to common-mode
voltage.
3. An AD9281 powered by AVDD = 3 V and a single ended
input, should have a 1 V span with a common-mode voltage
of 0.75 V.
