REF6241IDGKR

The voltage references in the REF6000 series integrate low-output-impedance buffers, which enable users to directly drive the reference (REF) pins of precision data converters while maintaining linearity, distortion, and noise performance. Most precision SAR and Δ-Σ analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) switch binary-weighted capacitors to the REF pin during the conversion process. To support this dynamic load, the output of the voltage reference must be buffered by a low-output-impedance, high-bandwidth buffer. The REF6000 series devices are well-suited (but not limited to) for driving the REF pins of the ADS88xx series SAR ADCs, the ADS127xx series Δ-Σ ADCs, and precision digital-to-analog converters (DACs). When driving the REF pin of the ADS8881, the output voltage of the REF6000 series does not drop below 1 LSB (18-bit), even during the first conversion. This feature is extremely useful for burst-mode, event-triggered isochronous sampling, and variable-sampling-rate data acquisition systems. Various REF62xx variants in the REF6000 series specify a maximum temperature drift (only 3 ppm/°C) and offer an initial accuracy of 0.05% for the combination of the voltage reference and the low-output-impedance buffer.
