Product details
Overview
AD780AR-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a pin-programmable 2.5 V/3.0 V ultraprecision voltage reference IC with 3 ppm/°C max drift, ±1 mV max initial accuracy, 100 nV/√Hz wideband noise, and series/shunt mode operation - used as the primary reference for high-resolution ADCs and DACs in test equipment and precision data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD780AR-REEL7 datasheet, AD780AR-REEL7 pinout, AD780AR-REEL7 application, or AD780AR-REEL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, real-world load regulation behavior (75 µV/mA), temperature transducer capability (560 mV @ 25°C, 1.9 mV/°C), fine-trim support, and shunt-mode negative reference implementation without external components.
Technical Context
The AD780AR-REEL7 implements a laser-trimmed band gap core with two NPN transistors (Q6/Q7) differing 12× in emitter area to generate a PTAT current, enabling zero-drift output via combined VBE and PTAT voltage summation. Its low-headroom amplifier supports 3.0 V output from 4.5 V input, extending ADC dynamic range by 20% versus legacy 2.5 V references.
It features dual-mode operation: series mode (sourcing/sinking up to ±10 mA) and shunt mode (±2.5 V/±3.0 V outputs), with inherent stability across all capacitive loads when using a 1 µF supply bypass capacitor. The TEMP pin provides a buffered linear temperature output (500–620 mV @ 25°C, 1.9 mV/°C) with 3 kΩ output resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Pin-selectable 2.499–2.501 V or 2.999–3.001 V (B-grade, −40°C to +85°C); enables direct replacement of fixed 2.5 V/3.0 V references. |
| Temp Drift | 3 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +85°C); ensures ≤0.9 mV total variation over industrial range - critical for 16-bit+ converter accuracy. |
| Noise Density | 100 nV/√Hz (100 Hz); combined with 4 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz), supports sub-LSB noise floor in Σ-Δ ADCs like AD7710. |
| Load Regulation | 75 µV/mA (series mode, −40°C to +85°C); maintains stability under dynamic 0–10 mA load steps without external compensation. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.75–1.0 mA (2.5 V series mode, −40°C to +85°C); adds only ~2 µA/V above 5 V input - ideal for low-power precision systems. |
| Trim Range | ±4.0%; allows coarse nulling of initial error using 25 kΩ potentiometer - compatible with legacy reference board layouts. |
| TEMP Pin Output | 560 mV ±60 mV @ 25°C, 1.9 mV/°C sensitivity; enables on-chip temperature monitoring without added sensors or calibration. |
Pinout & Package
AD780AR-REEL7 is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package with standard JEDEC outline, 1.27 mm pitch, and 160°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 4.0 V to 36 V; powers internal band gap and amplifier; requires 1 µF bypass to GND for full-load stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return; connects to PCB ground plane; serves as reference for TEMP and TRIM pins. |
| 3 (TEMP) | Temperature Output | Provides 560 mV @ 25°C, 1.9 mV/°C linear output; must be buffered (e.g., OP07) to avoid >100 µV VOUT shift per µA drawn. |
| 4 (OUT) | Reference Output | Delivers regulated 2.5 V or 3.0 V; capable of sourcing/sinking ±10 mA; stable into any capacitive load. |
| 5 (TRIM) | Fine-Adjust Input | Accepts external potentiometer (25 kΩ) for ±4% output adjustment; trim resistor affects tempco proportionally. |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected; no electrical function or thermal role. |
| 7 (DNC) | Factory Test Terminal | 20 kΩ resistor to VIN; used only for production testing; not for user circuit connection. |
| 8 (SEL) | Output Voltage Select | Grounded = 3.0 V mode; open = 2.5 V mode; defines feedback ratio in internal op amp loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-programmable output | Selects 2.5 V or 3.0 V via SEL pin grounding - eliminates BOM variants and simplifies design reuse across voltage-scaled systems. |
| Low-headroom 3.0 V operation | Generates precise 3.0 V from 4.5 V input - increases ADC dynamic range by 20% vs. 2.5 V references without buffer amplifiers. |
| Integrated temperature transducer | TEMP pin delivers calibrated 560 mV @ 25°C with 1.9 mV/°C slope - enables system-level thermal compensation without discrete sensors. |
| Shunt-mode negative reference | Configurable as −2.5 V or −3.0 V shunt regulator by grounding VIN/OUT and biasing GND pin - no external pass devices required. |
| Noise reduction architecture | Supports external C1 (output-to-GND) and C2 (TEMP-to-GND) capacitors to reduce 0.1–10 Hz noise from 4 µVp-p to <2 µVp-p. |
Applications
| High-Resolution Data Acquisition | Precision Instrumentation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1019AIS8-2.5#PBF | Fixed 2.5 V output; 5 ppm/°C max drift; no TEMP pin; higher 1.5 µA quiescent current in shutdown mode. | Lacks pin-selectable voltage and temperature sensing; limited to single-voltage systems requiring minimal board space. | Choose when only 2.5 V is needed and TEMP functionality is unnecessary - lower cost but less flexible than AD780AR-REEL7. |
| REF5025IDR | Fixed 2.5 V output; 3 ppm/°C max drift; 0.25 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz) noise; no shunt-mode capability; requires external buffer for >10 mA loads. | Superior low-frequency noise but no negative reference or temperature output; not pin-compatible. | Prefer for ultra-low-noise 2.5 V-only designs where shunt operation and TEMP sensing are excluded - AD780AR-REEL7 remains superior for multimode use cases. |
Compared with LT1019AIS8-2.5#PBF and REF5025IDR, AD780AR-REEL7 uniquely combines pin-selectable voltage, integrated temperature sensing, and shunt-mode negative reference generation - delivering three functions in one SOIC-8 device where alternatives require multiple ICs or external circuitry.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the AD780AR-REEL7 support, and how is selection implemented?
The AD780AR-REEL7 supports 2.5 V and 3.0 V outputs selected via the SEL pin (Pin 8): open = 2.5 V, grounded = 3.0 V. This pin-programmable feature eliminates need for separate part numbers and enables single-BOM flexibility across systems requiring either voltage. Both outputs maintain ±1 mV max initial accuracy and 3 ppm/°C max drift over −40°C to +85°C.
Can the AD780AR-REEL7 be used to generate a negative reference voltage, and if so, what configuration is required?
Yes, the AD780AR-REEL7 can generate −2.5 V or −3.0 V in shunt mode by connecting VIN and OUT to system ground and biasing the GND pin (Pin 2) to a negative supply through a current-limiting resistor. No external pass transistors or op amps are needed. This configuration leverages the device's internal amplifier topology and is explicitly validated in the AD780 datasheet Figure 24.
How does the TEMP pin on the AD780AR-REEL7 function, and what precautions are necessary when using it?
The TEMP pin (Pin 3) outputs 560 mV ±60 mV at 25°C with 1.9 mV/°C sensitivity, derived directly from the band gap core. Because current draw from this pin directly perturbs VOUT (ΔVOUT = 5.8 mV/µA in 2.5 V mode), it must be buffered using a low-input-bias-current op amp such as OP07 or AD820. Unbuffered loading >1 µA risks >100 µV reference error.
What is the maximum load current the AD780AR-REEL7 can source or sink while maintaining specified accuracy?
The AD780AR-REEL7 can source or sink up to ±10 mA in series mode while maintaining full-spec accuracy, including 75 µV/mA load regulation and 3 ppm/°C drift. In shunt mode, it regulates 1–10 mA. Exceeding ±10 mA may degrade output voltage accuracy beyond datasheet limits, especially under temperature extremes.
Does the AD780AR-REEL7 require external capacitors for stability, and if so, what values are recommended?
A 1 µF ceramic capacitor from VIN to GND is mandatory for stability under all load conditions per datasheet Section "Stability". For noise reduction, optional C1 (100 µF tantalum from OUT to GND) and C2 (100 nF from TEMP to GND) further suppress 0.1–10 Hz noise to <2 µVp-p. Intermediate C2 values risk oscillation - follow Figure 6 recommendations precisely.
