Output common mode range

The TSC2011H output common mode voltage level can be set thanks to voltages applied on the VREF1 and

VREF2 pins. These two pins allow the device to be set either in bidirectional or in unidirectional operation. The

voltage applied to those pins must not exceed the Vcc range. The different configurations are detailed in the

section Unidirectional/Bidirectional operation.

As depicted by Figure 4, VREF1 and VREF2 pins can be driven by an external voltage source capable of

sourcing/sinking a current following the equation below:

Iref= Vicm−Vref

5kΩ+275kΩ+25kΩ

When the output common mode voltage is supplied by an external power supply, in order to improve the output

voltage measurement, it is recommended to measure the Vout differentially with respect to Vref voltage. It provides

a better CMRR measurement, better noise immunity and also a more accurate Vout voltage. A decoupling

capacitance of 1 nF minimum can be also added to better filter the power supply, and can also be used as a tank

capacitance in case an ADC is connected to this reference voltage.
