COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE (VCM)
The VCM pin outputs a voltage of AVDD/2 and can
be used to set the common-mode output of the
circuitry that drives the ADS1672. The pin must be
bypassed with a 1mF capacitor placed close to the
package pin, even if it is not connected elsewhere.
The VCM pin has very little drive capability and
should not be used to drive any loads.
