Hi Jonathan and Krzysztof,

I am currently adding support for another chip to this family
(ADAQ4380-4) and it also uses REFIN.. but in another way ad7380-4
does..
So:
- ad7380-4 does not have any internal reference and use a mandatory
refin supply as external reference
- adaq4380-4 does not have external reference but uses a 3V internal
reference derived from a 5V mandatory refin supply
- all others (AFAIK) use an optional refio external reference. If
omitted, use an internal 2.5V reference.

I am not sure using a single refio-supply for all will make things
clearer.. What do you think? Should I also send the adaq series now to
bring more context? (I wanted feedback on this series first).

Cheers
Julien
