ADS8328: What is the reference IC I can use for this?

Part Number: ADS8328
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: REF3425,

Hi, 

         I am using the part :ADS8328. In my design we are having 2.8V rail. I would like to know whether can I use REF3425 to provide a reference voltage to my ADS8328?  I am more concerned of the power consumption and voltage drop of 0.3(2.8-2.5)

If not REF3425, Please suggest any other IC.

  • Hello Ashok,

    Welcome to our forum and thank you for your post!

    It looks like the REF3425 would be fine with 300 mV of dropout voltage. The only restriction I see is that this device cannot support the full 10-mA output current load on its own at 125C with less than 400 mV VDO.

    The average load current for the reference pin is around 25-45 uA depending on the reference input impedance. There will be spikes of instantaneous current drawn from the REF+ pin during the ADC conversion phase, but this is partially handled by adding decoupling capacitors across the reference pins and, therefore, should not be a concern. The data sheet recommends using 10 uF, but I would also advocate for an additional 0.01 uF in parallel placed closest to the ADC. 

    Best regards,

    Ryan
