AIN INPUT DAMPING

The charging current pulses into AIN can make the signal source jump or ring, especially if the

source is slightly inductive at high frequencies. Inserting a small series resistor of 20

Ω or less in the

input path can damp source ringing (see Figure 22). The resistor can be made larger than 20

Ω if

reduced input bandwidth or distortion performance is acceptable.

DRIVING THE SAMPLE & HOLD REFERENCE INPUTS

The sample and hold reference inputs (connected to pins REFTS and REFBS) present switched-

capacitor loads similar to the AIN pin, but with smaller capacitors (see Figure 23 below). Note that in

Top/Bottom mode, the internal reference buffer is also driven from REFTS and REFBS and the total

load on these pins is therefore the parallel combination of the sample and hold circuit and the

reference buffer.
