ADS7251: Output Current of REFOUT_x

Part Number: ADS7251

Hi!

Please tell me the output current(max) of REFOUT_x pin.


Best Regards,

  • Hello Itabi

    We do not have REFOUT_X current mentioned in electrical char table. We do have graph showing internal reference output current Vs output voltage at 25C. Please refer to figure 36 on page16 of datasheet. It will give fair estimate of internal reference drive capacity at 25C

    I will try to see if i can help you with exact internal reference output current capability

    Thanks & Regards

  • Hello Abhijeet

    Thank you for your reply.

    But I don't understand Figure36 well.
    Please tell me measurement circuit.
    Is Rout internal reference output impedance?

  • Hello Itabi

    Figure 36 shows I/V characteristics of internal reference. Rout mentioned here is typical output impedance of internal reference at room temperature (25C)

    REFOUT_x pin is used for ADC internal conversion as well. So it is not recommended to load this pin. Loading on REFOUT_x pin should not be more than 2mA.

    Can you please let me know if your application requires REFOUT_x pin to drive any load. If yes what is the load value.

    Thanks & Regards

    Our customer is considering the following circuit.
    Are there any problems?

  • Hello Itabi

    Bias voltage generation from REFOUT_x pin looks ok. Can you please let me know what is connected to inverting pin of op-amp. Is there a signal which they want to level shift by VREF/2.

    Thanks & Regards

  • Hello Abhijeet

    Thank you for your confirmation.

    Unfortunately they don't tell me details, so I don't understand well.
