Applying the Reference
The AD7725 can operate with either an external reference or
with its on-chip 2.5 V reference. A block diagram of the internal
reference circuit is shown in Figure 15. The internal reference
circuitry includes an on-chip 2.5 V band gap reference and a
reference buffer circuit. The internal 2.5 V reference voltage is
connected to the REF1 pin through a 3 k
resistor. It is buffered
to drive the analog modulator’s switched capacitor DAC (REF2)
as shown in Figure 15. When using the internal reference, a 1
F
capacitor is required between REF1 and AGND to decouple the
band gap noise. If the internal reference is required to bias
external circuits, an external precision op amp should be used to
buffer REF1.

Where gain error or gain drift requires the use of an external
reference, this can be applied directly to the REF2 pin. In this
case, the reference buffer in Figure 15 can be turned off by
grounding the REF1 pin. The AD7725 will accept an external
reference voltage between 1.2 V and 3.15 V.
Where the output common-mode range of the amplifier driving
the inputs is restricted, the full-scale input signal span can be
reduced by applying a lower than 2.5 V reference. For example,
a 1.25 V reference would make the bipolar (differential) input
range
±1 V but would degrade SNR.
In all cases, since the REF2 voltage connects to the analog
modulator, a 220 nF and 10 nF capacitor must connect directly
from REF2 to AGND. The external capacitors provide the
charge required for the dynamic load presented at the REF2 pin
(see Figure 16).

Clock Generation
The AD7725 has an on-chip oscillator circuit to allow a crystal
or an external clock signal to generate the master clock for
the ADC. In both cases, the clock input has to be continual;
once power is applied to the AD7725, it has to be continually
clocked. The connection diagram for use with a crystal is shown
in Figure 18. Consult the manufacturer’s recommendation for
the load capacitors. To enable the oscillator circuit on the
AD7725, XTAL_OFF should be tied low.
