Product details
Overview
ADR03BRZ from Analog Devices is a precision 2.5 V band gap voltage reference IC with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient (8-lead SOIC, A grade), and 5 µVp-p low-frequency noise (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz). It operates from 4.5 V to 36 V supply, 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 data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADR03BRZ datasheet, ADR03BRZ pinout, ADR03BRZ application, or ADR03BRZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5 V output stability under varying load (25–70 ppm/mA), dropout voltage of 2 V, line regulation of 7–30 ppm/V, and integrated TEMP pin for temperature monitoring at 550 mV baseline with 1.96 mV/°C sensitivity.
Technical Context
The ADR03BRZ implements a trimmed band gap core with on-chip trimming for high initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its TRIM pin enables fine adjustment of output voltage, while the TEMP pin provides a ratiometric analog temperature signal referenced to the internal band gap.
Designed for wide-input-voltage operation (4.5 V to 36 V), it maintains stable 2.5 V output across −40°C to +125°C without external capacitors. The device supports both sourcing and sinking up to 10 mA and features 75 dB ripple rejection at 10 kHz.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF03CSZ | Same 2.5 V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 25 ppm/°C max TC, no TEMP pin | Lacks integrated temperature sensing; requires external sensor for thermal compensation | Select when TEMP functionality is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs long-term stability needs |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V output, ±0.1% accuracy, 10 ppm/°C max TC, SC70-5 package, no TRIM or TEMP pins | Smaller footprint but no adjustability or temperature monitoring; lower drive capability (5 mA) | Select for space-constrained designs where board area is critical and full feature set is not required |
Compared with REF03CSZ and ADR3425ARJZ-R7, the ADR03BRZ uniquely combines precision trim, integrated temperature sensing, and 10 mA drive in a standard SOIC package-enabling single-component solutions for thermally compensated, field-calibratable measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of the ADR03BRZ?
The ADR03BRZ has a guaranteed initial accuracy of ±0.1% (±5 mV) over temperature for the B grade, as specified in Table 4 of the Rev. S datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25°C before any system-level calibration and is maintained across the full −40°C to +125°C operating range with defined drift limits.
Does the ADR03BRZ require external capacitors for stability?
No, the ADR03BRZ does not require external input or output capacitors for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability across all load conditions (0–10 mA) and supply voltages (4.5 V–36 V), eliminating the need for bypass components and simplifying PCB layout.
Can the TEMP pin on the ADR03BRZ be used for accurate temperature measurement?
Yes-the TEMP pin on the ADR03BRZ outputs 550 mV at 25°C with a linear sensitivity of 1.96 mV/°C across −40°C to +125°C. When measured with a ratiometric ADC using the same ADR03BRZ as reference, it achieves ±1.5°C accuracy without calibration, making it suitable for system thermal monitoring.
Is the ADR03BRZ pin-compatible with industry-standard references?
Yes-the ADR03BRZ in 8-lead SOIC is pin-to-pin compatible with the REF03 series. Pin functions match exactly (VOUT, TRIM, VIN, TEMP, GND), and the three NIC pins maintain mechanical compatibility without electrical conflict, enabling direct drop-in replacement in existing REF03 layouts.
What is the maximum output current capability of the ADR03BRZ?
The ADR03BRZ delivers up to ±10 mA output current while maintaining specified accuracy and thermal performance. It can both source and sink current, supporting bidirectional reference loads such as precision op-amp bias networks or dual-supply ADC reference inputs.
