For relatively small values of external reference capacitance
(C
REF
< 1nF), the voltage on the sampling capacitor settles
for reference impedances of many kΩ
(if C
REF
= 100pF up
to 10kΩ will not degrade the performance (see Figures
12 and 13)
).
In cases where large bypass capacitors are required on
the reference inputs (C
REF
> 0.01μF), full-scale and linear-
ity errors are proportional to the value of the reference
resistance. Every ohm of reference resistance produces
a full-scale error of approximately 0.5ppm
(while operat-
ing in simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz mode (see Figures 14
and 15)
). If the input common mode voltage is equal to
the reference common mode voltage, a linearity error of
approximately 0.67ppm per 100Ω of reference resistance
results (see Figure 16). In applications where the input
and reference common mode voltages are different, the
errors increase. A 1V difference in between common mode
input and common mode reference results in a 6.7ppm
INL error for every 100Ω of reference resistance.
In addition to the reference sampling charge, the reference
ESD protection diodes have a temperature dependent leak-
age current. This leakage current, nominally 1nA (±10nA
max) results in a small gain error. A 100Ω reference
resistance will create a 0.5μV full-scale error.
