Sometimes, one capacitor is better than two
06/05/00 EDN-Design Ideas Many A/D converters use an internal resistor ladder as a two-point differential voltage reference in the conversion. This method demands that these two nodes remain steady. The higher the resolution, the stronger the demand for quiet voltages.

Split or Single Supply Operation, Bidirectional Output into A/D
In this circuit, split supply operation is used on both the LT1787 and LT1404 to provide a symmetric bidirectional measurement. In the single-supply case, where the LT1787 pin 6 is driven by VREF, the bidirectional measurement range is slightly asymmetric due to VREF being somewhat greater than mid-span of the ADC input range. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 31, 2010
