SNAS856 September 2024 REF80
ADVANCE INFORMATION
Precision data converters typically require voltage reference which is less than or equal to 5V. REF80 requires a precision resistor divider followed by low noise buffer to generate reference voltage for data converters as shown in Figure 9-3.
The selection of resistor depends on the current capability (< 1mA is preferred) and noise requirement. Minimum value of resistors are decided by the output current as per Equation 4.
Maximum value of the resistors are decided by the noise consideration. Thermal noise of the resistors (parallel equivalent) is added as per Equation 5
