The parasitic resistance at the reference pin (RREF) creates an imbalance in the four resistors of the internal difference amplifier that results in a degraded common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). Figure 66 shows the degradation in CMRR of the INA821 as a result of the increased resistance at the reference pin. For the best performance, keep the source impedance to the REF pin (RREF) less than 5 Ω .

Voltage reference devices are an excellent option for providing a low-impedance voltage source for the reference pin. However, if a resistor voltage divider generates a reference voltage, buffer the divider by an op amp, as shown in Figure 67, to avoid CMRR degradation.
