Unbuffered External
Reference Drives Multiple ADCs
The unbuffered external reference mode allows for pre-
cise control over the MAX1208 reference and allows
multiple converters to use a common reference.
Connecting REFIN to GND disables the internal refer-
ence, and allows REFP, REFN, and COM to be driven
directly by a set of external reference sources.
Figure 14 uses the MAX6029EUK30 precision 3.000V
reference as a common reference for multiple convert-
ers. A five-component resistive divider chain follows the
MAX6029 voltage reference. The 0.47µF capacitor along
this chain creates a 10Hz lowpass filter. Three MAX4230
operational amplifiers buffer taps along this resistor
chain providing 2.157V, 1.649V, and 1.141V to the
MAX1208’s REFP, COM, and REFN reference inputs,

12-Bit, 80Msps, 3.3V ADC
