Product details
Overview
AD780BR-REEL from Analog Devices is a pin-programmable, ultrahigh-precision bandgap voltage reference delivering 2.5 V or 3.0 V output with ±1 mV max initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C max drift (B-grade), 100 nV/√Hz wideband noise, and operation from 4.0 V to 36 V input. It serves as a stable reference for high-resolution ADCs/DACs in test equipment, precision data acquisition, and calibration systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD780BR-REEL datasheet, AD780BR-REEL pinout, AD780BR-REEL application, or AD780BR-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include output stability over temperature, low-noise performance for sub-16-bit systems, series/shunt mode flexibility, temperature transducer capability, and compatibility with 5 V supply-limited high-dynamic-range converters.
Technical Context
The AD780BR-REEL implements a laser-trimmed bandgap core with two NPN transistors (12× emitter area ratio) generating a PTAT current across precision thin-film resistors, combined with Q7's VBE to yield a temperature-invariant Vbg. Its high-gain amplifier enables 3.0 V output from as low as 4.5 V input, supporting 20% increased ADC dynamic range versus legacy 2.5 V references.
It operates in series mode (sourcing/sinking up to ±10 mA) or shunt mode (±2.5 V/±3.0 V negative outputs without external components), with unconditional stability under all load conditions when using a 1 µF bypass capacitor. The TEMP pin provides a buffered 560 mV @ 25°C output with 1.9 mV/°C sensitivity and 3 kΩ output resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Pin-selectable 2.5 V or 3.0 V; enables single-BOM support for dual-voltage system calibration. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1 mV max at 25°C; eliminates need for system-level trimming in metrology-grade instruments. |
| Temp Drift (B-grade) | 3 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +85°C); ensures ≤0.9 mV total variation across industrial temperature range. |
| Wideband Noise | 100 nV/√Hz typical; supports <18-bit ENOB in sigma-delta ADCs without external filtering. |
| Load Regulation | 50 µV/mA (series sourcing); maintains reference integrity during fast DAC settling or multiplexed sensor excitation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 mA max (−40°C to +85°C); enables low-power portable precision measurement designs. |
| TEMP Pin Output | 500–620 mV @ 25°C, 1.9 mV/°C; allows integrated ambient temperature monitoring with <±0.5°C accuracy after op-amp buffering. |
Pinout & Package
AD780BR-REEL is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package with standard JEDEC outline, 1.27 mm pitch, and 5.0 mm × 6.2 mm footprint. Thermal resistance θJA = 160°C/W under standard PCB conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 4.0 V to 36 V; internal regulator enables stable output even with 10% 5 V rail variation. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for output, TEMP, and TRIM; must be low-impedance for noise-sensitive applications. |
| 3 (TEMP) | Temperature Sensor Output | Linear 1.9 mV/°C output; requires op-amp buffer (e.g., AD820) to avoid >100 µV VOUT error from loading. |
| 4 (OUT) | Reference Voltage Output | 2.5 V or 3.0 V regulated output; drives ≥10 mA load directly; stable with any capacitive load ≥1 nF. |
| 5 (TRIM) | Fine-Adjustment Input | Accepts external potentiometer for ±4% trim range; enables system-level calibration without redesign. |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must remain floating per datasheet to prevent parametric shift. |
| 7 (DNC) | Production Test Terminal | 20 kΩ resistor to VIN; not for user circuitry-LT1019 pin-7 heater compatibility note applies only to legacy designs. |
| 8 (SEL) | Output Voltage Select | Ground = 3.0 V mode; open = 2.5 V mode; defines reference voltage without external logic or firmware. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-programmable output | Hardware-selectable 2.5 V/3.0 V via SEL pin-no configuration registers or I²C interface required. |
| Ultralow drift (B-grade) | 3 ppm/°C max guarantees ≤0.9 mV total error across −40°C to +85°C-critical for unattended field instrumentation. |
| Noise reduction capability | External C1 (output-to-GND) and C2 (TEMP-to-GND) reduce 0.1–10 Hz noise to 4 µV p-p-enables high-resolution weigh-scale front-ends. |
| Series/shunt mode operation | Supports ±2.5 V/±3.0 V outputs without external components-reduces BOM count in bipolar signal chain designs. |
| Integrated temperature transducer | On-chip TEMP pin delivers calibrated 1.9 mV/°C output-eliminates discrete thermistor + ADC channel in environmental monitors. |

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 | Fixed 2.5 V output; 1.5 ppm/°C max drift; 50 nV/√Hz noise; requires external trim for 3.0 V use. | Lacks pin-selectable voltage and TEMP pin; better for ultra-low-noise fixed-voltage systems only. | Select ADR441BRZ when lowest possible noise (50 nV/√Hz) and tightest drift (1.5 ppm/°C) are mandatory, and 2.5 V suffices. |
| REF5025AIDR | Fixed 2.5 V output; 3 ppm/°C max drift; 120 nV/√Hz noise; no temperature output pin; higher quiescent current (1.2 mA). | No voltage selection or TEMP functionality; optimized for high-PSRR, low-output-impedance applications. | Select REF5025AIDR when PSRR > 120 dB and output drive strength > 10 mA are required, and system design accommodates fixed 2.5 V. |
Compared with ADR441BRZ and REF5025AIDR, the AD780BR-REEL uniquely combines pin-selectable 2.5 V/3.0 V output, integrated temperature sensing, and shunt-mode bipolar capability-making it the only option for compact, multi-function reference subsystems where board space and feature integration are critical.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the AD780BR-REEL support, and how is selection implemented?
The AD780BR-REEL supports 2.5 V and 3.0 V outputs selected solely by the state of Pin 8 (SEL): open-circuit yields 2.5 V, grounded yields 3.0 V. This hardware-based selection requires no external logic or firmware control, simplifying design and ensuring deterministic behavior across power cycles. The AD780BR-REEL maintains ±1 mV initial accuracy and 3 ppm/°C max drift in both modes, making it ideal for systems needing flexible reference voltage without rework.
How does the AD780BR-REEL achieve stability with large capacitive loads, and what is the recommended bypass capacitor?
The AD780BR-REEL features an internally compensated output stage that remains stable with any capacitive load, including >1 µF ceramic or tantalum capacitors-unlike many references requiring strict ESR or capacitance limits. A 1 µF bypass capacitor between VIN and GND is recommended when load capacitance exceeds 1 nF to suppress supply noise coupling. This robustness eliminates external isolation components in high-EMI environments like motor drives or switch-mode power supply monitoring.
Can the AD780BR-REEL generate negative reference voltages, and what configuration is required?
Yes, the AD780BR-REEL can generate precise negative references in shunt mode: connect VIN and OUT to ground, then tie the AD780BR-REEL's GND pin to a negative supply (e.g., −5 V) via a bias resistor. This configuration delivers stable −2.5 V or −3.0 V outputs without external op-amps or charge pumps. The AD780BR-REEL sustains ±10 mA output current in this mode, supporting bipolar DACs and differential sensor interfaces in compact industrial modules.
What is the function and accuracy of the TEMP pin on the AD780BR-REEL, and how should it be used?
The TEMP pin (Pin 3) on the AD780BR-REEL provides a linear temperature-dependent voltage: 560 mV ±60 mV at 25°C with 1.9 mV/°C sensitivity and 3 kΩ output resistance. To avoid injecting error into VOUT (>100 µV per µA), the TEMP output must be buffered with a low-input-bias-current op-amp (e.g., AD820). When properly buffered, it enables ±0.5°C ambient temperature monitoring-adding calibration-aware functionality without extra ICs in portable test gear.
Does the AD780BR-REEL require external components for basic operation, and what is its minimum input voltage?
No external components are required for basic AD780BR-REEL operation: connect VIN (Pin 1) to 4.0–36 V, GND (Pin 2) to system ground, SEL (Pin 8) to select 2.5 V (open) or 3.0 V (grounded), and use OUT (Pin 4) as the reference. Its unique low-headroom design enables 3.0 V output from as low as 4.5 V input-providing 20% more ADC dynamic range than conventional 2.5 V references powered from 5 V rails-ideal for battery-powered precision instruments.
