Product details
Overview
AD780BR-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a pin-programmable, ultrahigh-precision band gap voltage reference delivering 2.5 V or 3.0 V output with ±1 mV max initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C max drift (−40°C to +85°C), 100 nV/√Hz wideband noise, and 1 mA max quiescent current. It operates from 4.0 V to 36 V input and supports series/shunt mode for ±2.5 V or ±3.0 V outputs - enabling direct use in high-resolution ADC/DAC reference circuits without external buffers.
For engineers reviewing the AD780BR-REEL7 datasheet, AD780BR-REEL7 pinout, AD780BR-REEL7 application, or AD780BR-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-drift stability over temperature, dual-output voltage flexibility, integrated temperature-sensing capability, noise-reduction capacitor support, and compatibility with precision data converters such as the AD7710 and AD7884.
Technical Context
The AD780BR-REEL7 implements a laser-trimmed band gap core with two NPN transistors (Q6/Q7) differing 12× in emitter area to generate a PTAT current, combined with Q7's VBE to yield a stable VBG. Its high-gain amplifier features low headroom design, enabling 3.0 V output from a 4.5 V supply and supporting shunt-mode operation by sinking up to 10 mA.
A dedicated TEMP pin (Pin 3) provides a linear 560 mV @ 25°C output with 1.9 mV/°C sensitivity and 3 kΩ output resistance - usable as a system temperature transducer while maintaining reference stability. The TRIM pin enables ±4% fine adjustment of output voltage via external resistor networks without degrading long-term drift beyond 0.06 ppm/°C when properly implemented.

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 only; 10 ppm/°C max drift (−40°C to +85°C); higher 20 µV p-p (0.1–10 Hz) noise. | Lacks pin-selectable voltage, TEMP output, and shunt-mode capability - limited to unipolar, fixed-voltage use cases. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs drift/noise requirements and 2.5 V only is acceptable. |
| ADR441BRZ | Fixed 2.5 V output; 3 ppm/°C max drift; lower 50 nV/√Hz noise but no TEMP pin or voltage select. | Superior noise performance but no temperature monitoring or dual-voltage flexibility - unsuitable for transducer-integrated designs. | Prefer for ultra-low-noise 2.5 V-only applications where board space permits separate temperature sensing. |

FAQ
What output voltage options does the AD780BR-REEL7 support, and how are they selected?
The AD780BR-REEL7 supports 2.5 V and 3.0 V outputs selected via the SEL pin (Pin 8): leaving it unconnected configures 2.5 V mode, while grounding it selects 3.0 V mode. This pin-programmable feature eliminates the need for separate part numbers and enables flexible design reuse. Both outputs maintain ±1 mV max initial accuracy and 3 ppm/°C max drift over −40°C to +85°C. The AD780BR-REEL7 achieves this through laser-trimmed feedback resistors internal to its high-gain amplifier stage.
How does the TEMP pin on the AD780BR-REEL7 function, and what design precautions are required?
The TEMP pin (Pin 3) on the AD780BR-REEL7 provides a linear voltage output of 560 mV at 25°C with a sensitivity of 1.9 mV/°C, derived directly from the band gap core. Because current drawn from this pin affects 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 the OP07 or AD820. Unbuffered loading causes measurable reference degradation - even 10 µA draw introduces >50 µV error in VOUT. The AD780BR-REEL7 datasheet specifies 3 kΩ output resistance at the TEMP pin.
Can the AD780BR-REEL7 operate in shunt mode, and what configurations enable negative reference generation?
Yes, the AD780BR-REEL7 supports shunt-mode operation by connecting VIN and VOUT to ground and biasing the GND pin to a negative supply - enabling direct −2.5 V or −3.0 V reference generation without external components. In series mode, it can sink up to 10 mA, allowing high-current negative references using bootstrap circuits. Unlike many references, the AD780BR-REEL7 has no region of instability and remains stable under all load conditions when a 1 µF bypass capacitor is used on VIN. This dual-mode capability is explicitly validated in the AD780BR-REEL7 datasheet Figures 24 and 25.
What noise reduction techniques are supported by the AD780BR-REEL7, and how effective are they?
The AD780BR-REEL7 supports external noise reduction using two capacitors: C1 (10–100 µF) between VOUT and GND, and C2 (10–100 nF) between TEMP and GND. With C1 = 100 µF and C2 = 100 nF, 0.1–10 Hz noise drops from 4 µV p-p to <1 µV p-p - a >3× improvement. Wideband spectral density remains at 100 nV/√Hz. These capacitors also improve transient settling time under dynamic loads. The AD780BR-REEL7 datasheet confirms this performance in Figure 10 and recommends avoiding intermediate C2 values to prevent oscillation.
Is the AD780BR-REEL7 pin-compatible with other voltage references, and which legacy parts does it upgrade?
Yes, the AD780BR-REEL7 is a pin-compatible performance upgrade for the LT1019A–2.5 and AD680, sharing identical 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) pinout and footprint. It improves upon the LT1019A–2.5 with 3× lower drift (3 vs. 10 ppm/°C), 2× lower noise (100 vs. 200 nV/√Hz), and adds features including voltage select, TEMP output, and shunt-mode operation. The AD780BR-REEL7 datasheet explicitly states this compatibility in the General Description and Product Highlights sections.
