Hi all,
I'm trying to make DAQ with 4 simultaneous differential sampling channels, using 4x analog devices 24bit AD7175-2, and either a MAX6220 or MAX6126 5V reference, with the hope of getting maybe 19-20 noise free bits the first go-around. I'm planning to use a PGA280 as the input amplifier.
Is it possible to have all the ADCs share 1 voltage reference? Would they need to be separately buffered? Is it easier just to use a seperate 5V reference per ADC? (I'll be calibrating the channels separately anyway, so not too worried about a little bit of offset between them). It seems simpler to just use a reference per ADC, but if I can avoid that without causing a bunch of other layout headaches, it would be nice.
Anyone ever distributed voltage references across a board?
