Peaking in the reference’s output impedance can
occur because of capacitive loading at its output.
Any peaking that might occur can be reduced by
placing a small resistor in series with the capaci-
tors (Figure 10). The equation in Figure 10 can
be used to help calculate the optimum value of R

The CS5012A/14/16 can operate with a wide
range of reference voltages, but signal-to-noise
performance is maximized by using as wide a
signal range as possible. The recommended refer-
ence voltage is between 2.5 and 4.5 V for the
CS5012A and 4.5 V for the CS5014/16. The
CS5012A/14/16 can actually accept reference
voltages up to the positive analog supply. How-
ever, the buffer’s offset may increase as the
reference voltage approaches VA+ thereby in-
creasing external drive requirements at VREF. A
4.5V reference is the maximum reference voltage
recommended. This allows 0.5V headroom for
the internal reference buffer. Also, the buffer en-
lists the aid of an external 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor which must be tied between its output,
REFBUF, and the negative analog supply, VA-. For

Analog Input Connection
The analog input terminal functions similarly to
the VREF input after each conversion when
switching into the track mode. During the first
six CLKIN cycles in the track mode, the buffered
version of the analog input is used for pre-charg-
ing the capacitor array. An additional period is
required for fine-charging directly from AIN to
