Product details
Overview
ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a precision 2.5 V band gap voltage reference in a 5-lead SC70 package, featuring ±0.1% initial accuracy, 9 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient (B grade), and 5 µVp-p (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz) low-noise output. It operates from 4.5 V to 36 V supply and delivers up to 10 mA, enabling use in high-resolution ADC biasing and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 pinout, ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 application, or ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SC70 package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in precision data acquisition, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and parametric differences.
Technical Context
The ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 implements a trimmed band gap core with on-chip TRIM and TEMP terminals for output fine-tuning and temperature monitoring (550 mV baseline, 1.96 mV/°C sensitivity). Its architecture supports stable operation without external capacitors across −40°C to +125°C.
It achieves 70 ppm output hysteresis and 50 ppm long-term stability over 1000 hours, with load regulation of 25–70 ppm/mA and line regulation of 7–30 ppm/V - all specified over full temperature and supply range. The B-grade variant targets cost-sensitive industrial applications requiring tighter TC than A-grade SC70 but lower cost than SOIC.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR03AKSZ-REEL7 | Same SC70 package, but A grade: 3 ppm/°C typical TC (vs. 9 ppm/°C max for B grade); ±0.05% initial accuracy. | Suitable where ultra-low drift dominates cost; not needed for <0.1% system accuracy budgets. | Select ADR03AKSZ-REEL7 only if TC <5 ppm/°C is required over full temperature range - adds ~15% cost with no benefit for most industrial sensors. |
| REF03CSZ-REEL7 | Legacy 8-lead SOIC; 10 ppm/°C max TC; no TEMP pin; pinout differs (TRIM and TEMP merged into NC pins). | Drop-in replacement only in SOIC footprints; lacks temperature sensing and SC70 size advantage. | Choose REF03CSZ-REEL7 only for backward compatibility in existing SOIC layouts - not for new compact designs or thermal-aware systems. |
Compared with ADR03BKSZ-REEL7, the ADR03AKSZ-REEL7 improves temperature stability at higher cost and lower volume availability, while the REF03CSZ-REEL7 sacrifices size, functionality, and modern spec compliance for legacy compatibility - making ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 the optimal balance of performance, integration, and footprint for new industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the ADR03BKSZ-REEL7?
The ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 delivers up to 10 mA of output current while maintaining its specified accuracy and temperature coefficient. This is sufficient to drive reference inputs of high-resolution ADCs, DACs, and op-amp bias networks. Exceeding 10 mA may cause output voltage deviation beyond the 70 ppm/mA load regulation limit and increased self-heating effects.
Does the ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 require an input or output capacitor for stability?
No - the ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 is internally compensated and operates stably without any external input or output capacitors. This simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. However, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor at VIN is recommended for high-noise environments to improve ripple rejection, and a 10 nF capacitor at VOUT can further reduce high-frequency noise if system-level SNR demands exceed the native 5 µVp-p.
How is the TEMP pin used in the ADR03BKSZ-REEL7, and what is its accuracy?
The TEMP pin on the ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 outputs 550 mV at 25°C with a nominal sensitivity of 1.96 mV/°C, enabling direct temperature measurement using a single ADC channel. Its absolute accuracy is ±10 mV over −40°C to +125°C, corresponding to ±5°C typical error - adequate for board-level thermal monitoring but not for calibrated sensor replacement.
Can the ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 replace the REF03 in an existing design?
The ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 is functionally compatible with the REF03 but not pin-compatible in SC70 form. Its SOIC variants (e.g., ADR03ARZ-REEL7) are pin-to-pin replacements for REF03CSZ-REEL7. For SC70 designs, PCB layout revision is required due to different pinout (TEMP and TRIM are active on ADR03; NC on REF03), though electrical behavior remains consistent.
What is the long-term stability specification for the ADR03BKSZ-REEL7?
The ADR03BKSZ-REEL7 exhibits 50 ppm long-term stability after 1000 hours of operation - a noncumulative drift that decreases significantly in subsequent periods. This value reflects typical aging under continuous bias at 25°C and is critical for systems requiring recalibration intervals longer than one year, such as remote environmental monitors or sealed industrial instruments.
