Product details
Overview
ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a precision micropower low-dropout voltage reference IC delivering 2.5 V output with ±0.12% initial accuracy and 9 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over −40°C to +125°C. It operates from 2.8 V to 18 V input, sustains 5 mA sourcing/2 mA sinking, and consumes only 85 μA typical quiescent current - ideal for high-accuracy battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 pinout, ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 application, or ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (300 mV), long-term stability (150 ppm/1000 hrs), 0.1 Hz–10 Hz noise (18 μV p-p), load regulation (≤300 ppm/mA), and TSOT-6 package compatibility in space-constrained industrial and medical designs.
Technical Context
The ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 implements a patented curvature-corrected band gap architecture to minimize nonlinearities in output voltage vs. temperature. Its series-mode topology enables sink and source capability while maintaining low thermal drift.
It achieves stable regulation with only 300 mV headroom above 2.5 V output and supports capacitive loads down to 0.1 μF for stability. The device features internal protection against line/load transients and exhibits −90 dB PSRR at 60 Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal; B-grade tolerance ±0.12% ensures ≤3 mV absolute error at 25°C for calibration-grade systems. |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 9 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C; contributes ≤1.13 mV total drift across full range - critical for automotive sensor front-ends. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300 mV at 0 mA load; enables operation from 2.8 V supply - essential for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail-referenced ADCs. |
| Quiescent Current | 85 μA typical; draws <100 μA across temperature - extends battery life in portable ECG monitors beyond 5 years. |
| Output Noise | 18 μV p-p (0.1 Hz–10 Hz); supports 16-bit+ data acquisition without external filtering in precision DAQ systems. |
| Load Regulation | ≤300 ppm/mA sourcing; maintains <0.75 mV shift from 0 to 5 mA - suitable for driving SAR ADC reference inputs directly. |
| Long-Term Stability | 150 ppm/1000 hrs at 25°C; guarantees <0.375 mV drift over 1 year - meets requirements for unattended field instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 is housed in a 6-lead TSOT (UJ-6) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm × 0.95 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 NC | No Connect | Must be left floating; no internal connection - avoids unintended parasitic coupling in RF-sensitive layouts. |
| 2 GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for reference current and load current; requires low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 3 VIN | Input Supply | Accepts 2.8 V to 18 V; minimum 300 mV headroom required for regulation - dictates lowest usable supply rail. |
| 4 VOUT | Reference Output | Stable 2.5 V source; requires 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability and transient response. |
| 5 NC | No Connect | Must be left floating; electrically isolated - prevents solder bridging risks during automated assembly. |
| 6 NC | No Connect | Must be left floating; no internal bond wire - eliminates need for routing or thermal relief on this pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-Corrected Band Gap | Reduces temperature-induced nonlinearity to <9 ppm/°C - enables single-point calibration across industrial temperature range. |
| Sink/Source Capability | Supports ±2 mA to ±5 mA load current - allows direct interface with op-amp bias networks or ADC reference buffers without external transistors. |
| Low 0.1 Hz–10 Hz Noise | 18 μV p-p output noise - preserves SNR in high-resolution sigma-delta ADCs used in weigh scales and strain gauge interfaces. |
| TSOT-6 Package | 0.95 mm profile with 0.5 mm pitch - fits beneath 1.0 mm board height constraints in handheld medical devices. |
| Extended Temperature Range | −40°C to +125°C operation - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial motor control feedback circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR121AUJZ-REEL7 | Same 2.5 V output and TSOT-6 package, but A-grade: ±0.24% initial accuracy and 25 ppm/°C max tempco. | Lower accuracy and higher drift limit use in cost-sensitive consumer DAQ where 14-bit performance suffices. | Select when budget constraints outweigh precision requirements and long-term drift is less critical. |
| REF192GS | 2.5 V reference in SOIC-8; ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 125 μA IQ, 400 mV dropout. | Larger footprint and higher power prevent use in ultra-compact portable designs; better suited for board-level test equipment. | Choose when SOIC-8 layout compatibility exists and slightly higher dropout is acceptable for legacy designs. |
Compared with ADR121AUJZ-REEL7, the ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 delivers tighter initial accuracy and lower temperature drift - critical for calibration-grade instruments - while REF192GS offers SOIC-8 ease-of-use at the expense of size and quiescent current efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for ADR121BUJZ-REEL7?
The absolute maximum input voltage for ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 is 20 V relative to GND, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Continuous operation above 18 V is not recommended, as it may exceed thermal limits given the TSOT-6 package's 230°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For reliable long-term operation, keep VIN ≤18 V with adequate PCB copper pour for heat dissipation.
Does ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 require an input capacitor?
No, ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 does not require an input capacitor for stability. However, adding a 1 μF to 10 μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 μF capacitor improves transient response during sudden supply changes. This configuration reduces noise coupling from noisy rails and is recommended in battery-powered systems with switching regulators upstream of the reference.
Can ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 drive a 5 kΩ load directly?
Yes, ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 can drive a 5 kΩ load directly. At 2.5 V output, a 5 kΩ load draws 0.5 mA - well within its 5 mA sourcing capability. Load regulation remains ≤300 ppm/mA, so output deviation is <0.15 mV. No external buffer is needed unless the application demands sub-microvolt stability under dynamic load conditions.
What is the turn-on settling time specification for ADR121BUJZ-REEL7?
The turn-on settling time for ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 is 100 μs to 0.1% of final value with a 0.2 μF output capacitor, as specified in the ADR121 Electrical Characteristics table. This timing applies across −40°C to +125°C and ensures rapid stabilization after power-up in portable devices with aggressive wake/sleep cycles.
Is ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, ADR121BUJZ-REEL7 is RoHS-compliant (denoted by "Z" in the part number) and qualified for standard lead-free reflow. Its TSOT-6 package supports peak reflow temperatures up to 220°C for 15 seconds (infrared) or 215°C for 60 seconds (vapor phase), aligning with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
