Figure 12. External Buffered (MAX4230) Reference Drive Using a MAX6029 Bandgap Reference

Buffered External Reference Drives Multiple ADCs

The buffered external reference mode allows for more control over the MAX12557 reference voltage and allows multiple converters to use a common reference. The REFIN input impedance is >50M.

Figure 12 shows the MAX6029 precision 2.048V bandgap reference used as a common reference for multiple con- verters. The 2.048V output of the MAX6029 passes through a single-pole 10Hz LP filter to the MAX4230.

The MAX4250 buffers the 2.048V reference and pro- vides additional 10Hz LP filtering before its output is applied to the REFIN input of the MAX12557.

Unbuffered External Reference Drives Multiple ADCs

The unbuffered external reference mode allows for pre- cise control over the MAX12557 reference and allows multiple converters to use a common reference. Connecting REFIN to GND disables the internal refer-
