PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
complete system (continued)
The REFTF and REFBF voltage difference and the gain sets the device input range. The next sections describe
in detail the various methods available for setting voltages REFTF and REFBF to obtain the desired input span
and device performance.
ADC reference generation
The THS1031 has three primary modes of ADC reference generation, selected by the voltage level applied to
the MODE pin.
Connecting the MODE pin to AGND gives full external reference mode. In this mode, the user supplies the ADC
reference voltages directly to pins REFTF and REFBF. This mode is used where there is need for minimum
power drain or where there are very tight tolerances on the ADC reference voltages. This mode also offers the
possibility of Kelvin connection of the reference inputs to the THS1031 to eliminate any voltage drops from
remote references that may occur in the system. Only single-ended input is possible in this mode.
Connecting the MODE pin to AVDD/2 gives differential mode. In this mode, the ADC reference voltages REFTF
and REFBF are generated by the internal reference buffer from the voltage applied to the VREF pin. This mode
is suitable for handling differentially presented inputs, which are applied to the AIN and REFTS/REFBS pins.
A special case of differential mode is center span mode, in which user applies a single-ended signal to AIN and
applies the mid-scale input voltage (VM) to the REFTS and REFBS pins.
Connecting the MODE pin to AVDD gives top/bottom mode. In this mode, the ADC reference voltages REFTF
and REFBF are generated by the internal reference buffer from the voltages applied to the REFTS and REFBS
pins. Only single-ended input is possible in top/bottom mode.
