45.3 External Analog Reference Connections

The following schematic checklist is only necessary if the application is using one or more of the external analog references. If the internal references are used instead, the following circuits are not necessary.

  1. These values are given as a typical example.
  2. Decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the device for each supply pin pair in the signal group.
