REFERENCE
Figure 26 shows a simplified block diagram of the internal reference of the ADS1194/6/8. The reference voltage
is generated with respect to AVSS. When using the internal voltage reference, connect VREFN to AVSS.
(1) For V
REF
= 2.4: R1 = 12.5kΩ, R2 = 25kΩ, and R3 = 25kΩ. For V
REF
= 4V: R1 = 10.5kΩ, R2 = 15kΩ, and R3 = 35kΩ.
Figure 26. Internal Reference
The external band-limiting capacitors determine the amount of reference noise contribution. For high-end ECG
systems, the capacitor values should be chosen such that the bandwidth is limited to less than 10Hz, so that the
reference noise does not dominate the system noise. When using a 3V analog supply, the internal reference
must be set to 2.4V. In case of a 5V analog supply, the internal reference can be set to 4V by setting the
VREF_4V bit in the CONFIG2 register.
Alternatively, the internal reference buffer can be powered down and VREFP can be applied externally. Figure 27
shows a typical external reference drive circuitry. Power-down is controlled by the PD_REFBUF bit in the
CONFIG3 register. This power-down is also used to share internal references when two devices are cascaded.
By default the device wakes up in external reference mode.
