ADS127L11: Reference capacitor CREF

Hello FZ,

The equivalent reference input capacitance for ADS127L11 is 10pF.  Note that is you use the REFP buffer, the equivalent input capacitance is reduced by more than 100x.

Hello Keith Nicholas,

thank you very much.
The internal REFP buffers must be deactivated because I want to operate the ADC with AVDD1=3.3V (low-speed mode) and use a 3.0V reference.

I am planning to use the OPA328 (as shown in sboa558) to buffer the REF35300 voltage reference.
On my simulations, the reference voltage settles fast enough (using fmod=1.6385MHz).

Do you think this buffering circuit is suitable for this application?

Hello FZ,

Yes, the OPA328 will have more than enough bandwidth to drive the ADS127L11 REFP input.

Regards,
Keith
