Hello-
This question relates to the flag PD_REFBUF/ of the ADS1299. We have several ADS1299 configured in daisy-chain mode, one chip is supposed to provide the 4.5 reference voltage to all other chips. Therefore, the reference buffers of the "slave" chips are powered down. As a result, the 4.5V drops to an arbitrary value. (we would actually expect such behavior from a powered-down operational amplifier; however, the data sheet states that a reference voltage may be applied externally, and the input impedance is 5.6k)
What else needs to be configured so that an ADS1299 accepts an external reference? In the current configuration there seems to be quite a current draw.
Thank you :)
Bernhard
