The difference amplifier generates the high and low refer-
ence for the ADC. High speed switching circuits are
connected to these outputs and they must be externally
bypassed. Each output has two pins. The multiple output
pins are needed to reduce package inductance. Bypass
capacitors must be connected as shown in Figure 6.
Other voltage ranges in-between the pin selectable ranges
can be programmed with two external resistors as shown
in Figure 7. An external reference can be used by applying
its output directly or through a resistor divider to SENSE.

Reference Operation
Figure 6 shows the LTC2225 reference circuitry consisting
of a 1.5V bandgap reference, a difference amplifier and
switching and control circuit. The internal voltage refer-
ence can be configured for two pin selectable input ranges
of 2V (
±1Vdifferential)or1V(±0.5Vdifferential).Tyingthe
SENSE pin to VDD selects the 2V range; tying the SENSE
pin to VCM selects the 1V range.
The 1.5V bandgap reference serves two functions: its
output provides a DC bias point for setting the common
mode voltage of any external input circuitry; additionally,
the reference is used with a difference amplifier to gener-
ate the differential reference levels needed by the internal
ADC circuitry. An external bypass capacitor is required for
the 1.5V reference output, VCM. This provides a high
frequency low impedance path to ground for internal and
external circuitry.
