Product details
Overview
AD586KR from Analog Devices is a precision 5.000 V ±5 mV buried Zener voltage reference IC in an 8-lead SOIC package, featuring 15 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over 0°C to 70°C, 100 nV/√Hz noise spectral density, and ±100 µV/V line regulation - deployed as the primary reference for 12- to 16-bit DACs and high-accuracy ADCs in test instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD586KR datasheet, AD586KR pinout, AD586KR application, or AD586KR equivalent, key selection considerations include initial accuracy (±5 mV), low-drift performance across industrial temperature range, noise reduction capability via external capacitor on Pin 8, output sourcing/sinking up to ±10 mA, and compatibility with standard 5 V reference layouts requiring no PCB redesign.
Technical Context
The AD586KR implements a proprietary ion-implanted buried Zener diode combined with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve superior long-term stability (15 ppm/1000 hr) and low thermal drift versus bandgap alternatives. Its internal buffer amplifier enables bidirectional load drive while maintaining <4 µV p-p (0.1 Hz–10 Hz) output noise.
Pin 8 provides dedicated noise reduction functionality via external 1 µF capacitor to ground, forming a low-pass filter that reduces broadband noise to ~160 µV p-p (1 MHz). Pin 5 supports optional fine trim to adjust output by ±6% for system-level calibration or binary-scaled references like 5.12 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000 V ±5 mV at 25°C - ensures direct replacement of legacy 5 V references without recalibration in existing 12-bit+ converter designs. |
| Temp Coefficient | 15 ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - guarantees total error ≤ ±0.525 mV across full operating range, critical for metrology-grade measurements. |
| Noise Density | 100 nV/√Hz at 100 Hz - enables high-resolution digitization without added filtering in 16-bit SAR ADC front-ends. |
| Load Regulation | 100 µV/mA (sourcing, 0–10 mA) - maintains reference integrity under dynamic DAC current draw without output sag. |
| Line Regulation | ±100 µV/V (10.8–36 V input) - rejects supply ripple in unregulated or battery-derived power rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 2–3 mA - supports low-power portable instrumentation with minimal thermal loading on PCB. |
| Short-Circuit Current | 45–60 mA - provides robust fault tolerance during board bring-up or transient overload conditions. |
Pinout & Package
AD586KR is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012AA, with 1.27 mm pitch, 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm body size, and 1.75 mm maximum height. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins 1, 3, and 7 are factory test points - no external connection permitted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | TP1 | Internal factory trim pad - must remain unconnected; dummy PCB pad only. |
| 2 | VIN | Positive supply input (10.8–36 V); powers buried Zener and buffer amplifier. |
| 3 | TP1 | Internal factory trim pad - must remain unconnected; dummy PCB pad only. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; return path for Zener bias and output load current. |
| 5 | TRIM | Fine-adjust node for ±6% output scaling using external resistor divider; enables 5.12 V binary reference. |
| 6 | VOUT | Regulated 5.000 V output; capable of sourcing or sinking up to ±10 mA with <100 µV/mA regulation. |
| 7 | TP1 | Internal factory trim pad - must remain unconnected; dummy PCB pad only. |
| 8 | NOISE REDUCTION | Filter node for 1 µF capacitor to ground; reduces 1 MHz noise from 200 µV p-p to 160 µV p-p. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed accuracy | ±5 mV initial error (K grade) - eliminates need for post-assembly trimming in production test flows. |
| Buried Zener architecture | Lower drift and noise vs. bandgap - delivers 2× better 0.1–10 Hz noise (4 µV p-p) than comparable CMOS references. |
| Noise reduction pin | Dedicated Pin 8 with 1 µF cap cuts high-frequency noise - avoids complex external RC filters in sensitive analog signal chains. |
| Output trim capability | ±6% gain adjustment via Pin 5 - supports system-level calibration and non-standard reference voltages (e.g., 5.12 V). |
| Source/sink current | ±10 mA output drive - directly interfaces with multiple DACs or op-amp buffers without external transistors. |
Applications
| High-Accuracy Data Acquisition | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR441BRZ | 2.5 V output, 1 ppm/°C max drift, 3.5 µV p-p (0.1–10 Hz) noise - lower drift but incompatible voltage level. | Requires level-shifting circuitry for 5 V systems; unsuitable for direct AD586KR drop-in replacement. | Select when ultra-low drift (<1 ppm/°C) justifies redesigning reference distribution network and recalibrating DAC full-scale. |
| REF5050AID | 5.000 V output, 3 ppm/°C max drift, 12 µV p-p (0.1–10 Hz) noise - tighter spec but higher quiescent current (4.5 mA). | Higher power dissipation limits use in thermally constrained portable instruments. | Choose for lab-grade equipment where 3 ppm/°C drift is mandatory and 1.5 mA extra supply current is acceptable. |
Compared with ADR441BRZ and REF5050AID, AD586KR offers optimal balance of 5 V compatibility, 15 ppm/°C drift, sub-5 µV p-p noise, and 2.5 mA quiescent current - making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial DAQ systems requiring proven field reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for AD586KR?
The AD586KR has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 36 V relative to GND. Operation above 36 V risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term performance, Analog Devices specifies 10.8 V to 36 V as the functional input range, with line regulation tested across this span. The AD586KR draws only 2–3 mA quiescent current, so power dissipation remains well below the 500 mW package limit even at 36 V input.
Can AD586KR be used as a negative reference voltage source?
Yes, AD586KR can generate a precision −5.000 V output by connecting VIN to +6 V to +30 V, grounding VOUT, and tying GND (Pin 4) through a current-limiting resistor to a −15 V supply. This configuration maintains the same 15 ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 15 ppm/1000 hr long-term stability as the standard +5 V mode. Net current through the AD586KR must stay between 2.5 mA and 10.0 mA for proper operation.
Does AD586KR require external components to function?
No, AD586KR operates as a complete 5 V reference with only VIN (Pin 2) and GND (Pin 4) connections required. All trimming, temperature compensation, and buffering are integrated. External components are optional: a 1 µF capacitor on Pin 8 reduces broadband noise, and a resistor divider on Pin 5 enables fine output adjustment. These additions do not affect basic functionality or specification compliance.
What is the turn-on settling time of AD586KR?
AD586KR achieves 0.01% output accuracy in approximately 60 µs with no external capacitor. When a 1 µF noise reduction capacitor is used on Pin 8, turn-on time extends to ~400 ms due to additional RC time constant loading the internal Zener current source. This delay is deterministic and does not impact steady-state accuracy or long-term stability of the AD586KR output.
Is AD586KR compatible with MIL-STD-883 requirements?
AD586KR itself is not a MIL-STD-883-compliant variant; however, Analog Devices offers MIL-STD-883 versions under part numbers such as AD586KR-883B (SOIC) and AD586KQ-883B (CERDIP). These variants undergo screening per Method 5005 and include extended temperature testing, hermetic packaging options, and radiation hardness assurance - all documented in the AD586/883B data sheet separate from the commercial AD586KR specification.
