REFIO Drift (ppm/ºC)
C054
SBAS582C – JULY 2014 – REVISED APRIL 2015
The internal reference is also temperature compensated to provide excellent temperature drift over an extended
industrial temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
shows the variation of the internal reference voltage
across temperature for different values of the AVDD supply voltage. The typical specified value of the reference
voltage drift over temperature is 6 ppm/°C (
) and the maximum specified temperature drift is equal to
10 ppm/°C.

8.3.8.2 External Reference
For applications that require a better reference voltage or a common reference voltage for multiple devices, the
ADS8684 and ADS8688 offer a provision to use an external reference along with an internal buffer to drive the
ADC reference pin. In order to select the external reference mode, either tie the REFSEL pin high or connect this
pin to the DVDD supply. In this mode, an external 4.096-V reference must be applied at REFIO (pin 5), which
becomes an input pin. Any low-power, low-drift, or small-size external reference can be used in this mode
because the internal buffer is optimally designed to handle the dynamic loading on the REFCAP pin, which is
internally connected to the ADC reference input. The output of the external reference must be appropriately
filtered to minimize the resulting effect of the reference noise on system performance. A typical connection
diagram for this mode is shown in
