In addition to this gain error, the converter INL perfor-
mance is degraded by the reference source impedance.
When F

ppm additional INL error.
Figure␣ 22 shows the typical INL error due to the source
resistance driving the REF

pins when large C

values are used. The effect of the source resistance on the
two reference pins is additive with respect to this INL error.
In general, matching of source impedance for the REF
+
and REF
–
pins does not help the gain or the INL error. The
user is thus advised to minimize the combined source
impedance driving the REF
+
and REF
–
pins rather than to
try to match it.
The magnitude of the dynamic reference current depends
upon the size of the very stable internal sampling capaci-
tors and upon the accuracy of the converter sampling
clock. The accuracy of the internal clock over the entire
temperature and power supply range is typical better than
0.5%. Such a specification can also be easily achieved by
an external clock. When relatively stable resistors
