Device Functional Modes (continued)

8.4.6 Output Set to Mid-External Reference

In this example, an external reference is divided by two by connecting one REF pin to ground and the other REF

pin to the reference, as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9. Mid-External Reference Output

8.4.7 Output Set Using Resistor Divide

The INA253 REF1 and REF2 pins allow for the midpoint of the output voltage to be adjusted for system circuitry

connections to analog to digital converters (ADCs) or other amplifiers. The REF pins are designed to be

connected directly to supply, ground, or a low-impedance reference voltage. The REF pins can be connected

together and biased using a resistor divider to achieve a custom output voltage. If the amplifier is used in this

configuration, as shown in Figure 10, use the output as a differential signal with respect to the resistor divider

voltage. Use of the amplifier output as a single-ended signal in this configuration is not recommended because

the internal impedance shifts can adversely affect device performance specifications.
