the overall power consumption of the ADS7807 by approxi-
mately 5mW.
The internal reference has approximately an 8 ppm/
°
C drift
(typical) and accounts for approximately 20% of the full
scale error (FSE =
±
0.5% for low grade,
±
0.25% for high
grade).
The ADS7807 also has an internal buffer for the reference
voltage. See Figure 10 for characteristic impedances at the
input and output of the buffer with all combinations of
power down and reference down.
REF
REF (pin 5) is an input for an external reference or the output
for the internal 2.5V reference. A 2.2
µ
F tantalum capacitor
should be connected as close as possible to the REF pin from
ground. This capacitor and the output resistance of REF
create a low pass filter to bandlimit noise on the reference.
Using a smaller value capacitor will introduce more noise to
the reference, degrading the SNR and SINAD. The REF pin
should not be used to drive external AC or DC loads. See
Figure 10.
The range for the external reference is 2.3V to 2.7V and
determines the actual LSB size. Increasing the reference
voltage will increase the full scale range and the LSB size of
the converter which can improve the SNR.

CAP
CAP (pin 4) is the output of the internal reference buffer. A
2.2
µ
F tantalum capacitor should be placed as close as
possible to the CAP pin from ground to provide optimum
switching currents for the CDAC throughout the conversion
