58.8.2 External Reference Voltage

VVREFP is an external reference voltage applied on the pin VREFP. The quality of the reference voltage VVREFP is critical to the performance of the AFE. A DC variation of the reference voltage VVREFP is converted to a gain error by the AFE. The noise generated by VVREFP is converted by the AFE to count noise.

Note:
  1. When the AFE is in Sleep mode, the VREFP impedance has a minimum of 10 MOhm.
  2. Requested noise on VREFP.
  3. Electrical parameters specified inside the operational range. Exceeding this range can introduce additional INL error up to +/- 5 LSB and temperature dependency up to +/-10 LSB.
