Product details
Overview
ADR03AR-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a precision 2.5 V band gap voltage reference IC with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient (A-grade, SOIC), and 5 µVp-p low-frequency noise (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz). It operates from 4.5 V to 36 V input, delivers up to 10 mA output current, and supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). It serves as a stable reference in high-resolution ADCs and precision instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADR03AR-REEL7 datasheet, ADR03AR-REEL7 pinout, ADR03AR-REEL7 application, or ADR03AR-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping, thermal performance data, real-world load/line regulation behavior, and validated alternative options for precision analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The ADR03AR-REEL7 implements a curvature-corrected band gap core with internal trimming, enabling high DC stability and low drift over temperature. Its TEMP pin provides a calibrated 550 mV baseline with 1.96 mV/°C sensitivity for on-chip temperature monitoring without external components.
It features no external capacitor requirement, 4 µs turn-on settling time, and −75 dB ripple rejection at 10 kHz-enabling direct integration into noise-sensitive measurement front-ends. The device maintains 25 ppm/mA max load regulation (ILOAD = 0–10 mA) and 30 ppm/V max line regulation across its full operating voltage and temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V nominal; tight 2.495–2.505 V min/max window ensures ≤0.2% error in 16-bit+ DAC/ADC biasing. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% (±5 mV); enables single-point calibration elimination in factory-trimmed systems. |
| Temp Coefficient | 3 ppm/°C typical (A-grade, SOIC); contributes ≤0.375 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C span. |
| Voltage Noise | 5 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz); supports <18-bit ENOB in precision sigma-delta converters. |
| Supply Range | 4.5 V to 36 V; accommodates wide-input industrial rails and automotive battery transients. |
| Output Current | 10 mA max; drives multiple op-amp references or SAR ADC reference inputs without buffering. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.65–1.0 mA; enables low-power portable instrumentation with minimal standby loss. |
Pinout & Package
ADR03AR-REEL7 is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC (R-8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (5.0 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Stable 2.5 V reference output; requires no load capacitor and sources/sinks up to ±10 mA. |
| 2 | TRIM | Adjustment node for fine-tuning output voltage via external resistor divider; open or grounded for nominal operation. |
| 3 | NIC | No internal connection; electrically isolated-must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 4 | NIC | No internal connection; electrically isolated-must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 5 | VIN | Input supply pin; accepts 4.5–36 V with 2 V dropout margin; decoupling recommended near pin. |
| 6 | TEMP | Temperature-sensing output (550 mV @ 25°C, 1.96 mV/°C); enables on-die thermal diagnostics without external sensor. |
| 7 | NIC | No internal connection; electrically isolated-must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 8 | GND | Analog ground reference; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF03GSZ-REEL | Same 2.5 V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, but higher 25 ppm/°C tempco (max) and 10 µVp-p noise. | Lacks TEMP pin; not suitable for integrated thermal monitoring. | Lower-cost option where temperature sensing is unnecessary and wider drift is acceptable. |
| ADR03BRZ-REEL7 | Same SOIC package and pinout, but tighter 1 ppm/°C max tempco (B grade) and ±0.1% initial accuracy. | Higher grade cost; used only when sub-10 ppm total drift budget is mandatory. | Select when long-term stability and ultra-low drift dominate over cost in metrology-grade equipment. |
Compared with REF03GSZ-REEL, ADR03AR-REEL7 adds temperature sensing and lower noise; compared with ADR03BRZ-REEL7, it trades minor drift margin for cost efficiency while retaining pin compatibility and automotive qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for ADR03AR-REEL7?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for ADR03AR-REEL7 is 36.0 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 36.0 V. Exceeding 36.0 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation at 36 V is supported across −40°C to +125°C, with dropout voltage remaining ≤2 V at full 10 mA load.
Does ADR03AR-REEL7 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, ADR03AR-REEL7 is internally compensated and does not require an external output capacitor for stability. The datasheet explicitly states "No external capacitor required," and test data confirms stable operation with capacitive loads up to 100 nF. Adding output capacitance may degrade transient response but does not cause oscillation.
Can the TEMP pin of ADR03AR-REEL7 be used for accurate temperature measurement?
Yes-the TEMP pin provides a factory-calibrated 550 mV output at 25°C with ±1.96 mV/°C sensitivity and monotonic behavior across −40°C to +125°C. Used with a ratiometric ADC and known reference, it achieves ±1.5°C accuracy without calibration; full-system calibration can improve to ±0.5°C.
Is ADR03AR-REEL7 pin-compatible with REF03 in SOIC packages?
Yes-ADR03AR-REEL7 is a drop-in replacement for REF03 in 8-lead SOIC packages. Pin assignments (VOUT, TRIM, VIN, TEMP, GND) match identically, and the two NIC pins align. No PCB redesign is needed; however, ADR03AR-REEL7 adds functional TEMP output where REF03 has NC, enabling new thermal features.
What is the long-term stability specification for ADR03AR-REEL7?
ADR03AR-REEL7 exhibits 50 ppm typical long-term stability after 1000 hours of operation at +125°C. This specification is noncumulative-the drift in subsequent 1000-hour intervals is significantly lower. It reflects parametric shift due to silicon aging and is measured under accelerated life-test conditions per JEDEC standards.
