Issue with reference pin

Category: Hardware
Product Number: AD8226

Hi,

I am using AD8226 with AC coupling, supplied with single supply 3V3, with a gain of 10.

Both input are tied to 1V8 with 470R resistors.

The reference pin in set to 1V8 too.

The 1V8 is provided by an ADM7160 LDO

If i connect the reference pin, the LDO jumps to 2V5....

I i unsolder the reference pin it goes back to 1V8... and the floatting ref pin is at 2.5V

everything else has been removed from the circuit, and the amplifier in itself works properly...

it has now been tested with 3 AD8226armz, and 1 AD8226brmz, from different suppliers, on different boards, and 2 differents ADM7160 parts

never seen anything like this in 15 years of instrumentation.

Any thought?

Many thanks
