2.2.2 Buffered-Reference Voltage Connection
A buffered-reference configuration is useful when the source impedance is high (for example, a voltage
divider). Buffering a high-impedance source with an operational amplifier provides a low-impedance source and
preserves common-mode rejection.
shows an example of how to set up the EVM for single-supply
operation with a buffered-reference voltage connection. Depending on the application, desirable single-supply
buffer operational amplifiers include the
is a good choice for high-
voltage applications.
