Reference
The ADS8381EVM provides an onboard 4.096-V reference circuit.
This reference voltage can be applied directly to the VREF pin of the
converter; it does not need to be buffered. The EVM also has provi-
sion for a user-supplied external reference voltage. This voltage can
be filtered, as needed, by routing the signal through amplifier U1.
The EVM allows users to select from two reference sources. Set
SJP1 and SJP2 to select onboard reference voltage (REF3040), or
a user-supplied reference voltage via P1 pin 20. See Table 2−2 for
jumper settings. See Chapter 6 for the full schematic.
