Product details
Overview
ADR291GRZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a low-noise, micropower 2.5 V precision voltage reference IC using XFET® technology, delivering ±2 mV initial accuracy (E grade), 8 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 8 μVp-p (0.1 Hz–10 Hz) noise. It operates from 2.8 V to 15 V supply, draws only 12 μA quiescent current, and supports 5 mA output - ideal for battery-powered 3 V data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADR291GRZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADR291GRZ-REEL7 pinout, ADR291GRZ-REEL7 application, or ADR291GRZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low noise in sub-10 μVp-p band, micropower operation below 15 μA across −40°C to +125°C, and compatibility with high-precision SAR and Σ-Δ ADCs requiring stable 2.5 V references with minimal thermal drift.
Technical Context
The ADR291GRZ-REEL7 implements an XFET® reference architecture - not bandgap or buried Zener - generating a ~0.5 V intrinsic reference with negative TC compensated by a PTAT current source. This yields one-quarter the voltage noise of comparable bandgap references at same bias current.
Its internal topology includes vertically integrated NPN/PNP transistors enabling low dropout operation and high output current capability (5 mA), while NC pins (1,3,5,7,8 in SOIC) are reserved for manufacturing and must remain unconnected. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 50 ppm over −40°C ↔ +85°C cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V ±2 mV (E grade) - enables direct interface with 2.5 V ADCs without scaling or trimming. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.08% - ensures <±20 ppm error at system power-up before calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | 8 ppm/°C max (E grade) - contributes ≤±1.0 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C operating range. |
| Low-Frequency Noise | 8 μVp-p (0.1 Hz–10 Hz) - preserves ENOB in 16-bit+ precision converters under DC-coupled conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 12 μA typical at 25°C - supports >10-year battery life in solar-powered instrumentation with 200 mAh cells. |
| Supply Range | 2.8 V to 15 V - allows single-supply operation from 3 V batteries or industrial 12 V rails without LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 5 mA sourcing - drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DAC loads directly. |
Pinout & Package
ADR291GRZ-REEL7 is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; all NC pins are internally reserved and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 | NC | No internal connection; floating terminals - must be left unconnected per datasheet. |
| 2 | VIN | Input voltage terminal - accepts 2.8 V to 15 V; minimum headroom is 0.1 V at 5 mA load. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance star connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 | VOUT | Precision 2.5 V output - bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum for optimal PSRR and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| XFET® Reference Core | Replaces bandgap/Zener with lower-noise, lower-drift architecture - reduces 0.1–10 Hz noise by 75% vs. REF02. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 12 μA max at 25°C - enables use in energy-harvesting nodes where average current budget is <15 μA. |
| High Output Drive | 5 mA continuous sourcing - eliminates need for external buffer in most 12–16 bit converter applications. |
| Extended Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C operation - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial motor control environments. |
| Low Thermal Hysteresis | 50 ppm max after −40°C → +85°C → −40°C cycling - ensures repeatable calibration in field-deployed instruments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF02AZ | Bandgap-based; 1.8 mA supply current; 100 μVp-p noise; 50 ppm/°C TC; 8-pin SOIC. | Higher power and noise limit use in >14-bit systems or battery life >2 years. | Select REF02AZ only if legacy design reuse or cost sensitivity outweighs noise/power requirements. |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | XFET-based; 100 μA supply current; 12 μVp-p noise; 10 ppm/°C TC; 6-pin SOT-23. | Higher quiescent current precludes use in solar-harvesting or coin-cell applications. | Choose ADR3425ARJZ-R7 when board space is constrained and 100 μA supply is acceptable. |
Compared with REF02AZ and ADR3425ARJZ-R7, the ADR291GRZ-REEL7 uniquely delivers sub-10 μVp-p noise with <15 μA supply - making it the only option among the three suitable for 16-bit+ portable instrumentation requiring multi-year battery life and high DC accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the ADR291GRZ-REEL7?
The ADR291GRZ-REEL7 supports up to 5 mA of continuous sourcing current while maintaining specified accuracy and thermal stability. At 5 mA load and 25°C, output voltage deviation remains within ±100 ppm due to load regulation (30 ppm/mA typical). Exceeding 5 mA may cause excessive die heating and degrade long-term stability.
Does the ADR291GRZ-REEL7 require external capacitors for stability?
Yes - the ADR291GRZ-REEL7 requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor from VOUT to GND for high-frequency PSRR and transient response. For improved low-frequency noise rejection and load step recovery, a 10 µF tantalum or polymer capacitor in parallel is recommended. No series resistance or ferrite bead is needed.
Can the ADR291GRZ-REEL7 operate from a 3.0 V supply?
Yes - the ADR291GRZ-REEL7 is fully specified down to 2.8 V input, making it compatible with 3.0 V nominal Li-ion or alkaline battery supplies. At 3.0 V and 25°C, it delivers full 2.500 V output with 12 μA quiescent current and maintains 8 ppm/°C tempco performance across the full −40°C to +125°C range.
What is the meaning of 'GRZ' in ADR291GRZ-REEL7?
The 'GRZ' suffix denotes the 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package with Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) finish and tape-and-reel packaging (REEL7 = 7-inch reel). This matches JEDEC MS-012-AA mechanical dimensions and specifies 260°C reflow profile compatibility per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
How does the XFET® architecture in ADR291GRZ-REEL7 differ from traditional bandgap references?
The ADR291GRZ-REEL7 uses XFET® (eXtra implanted junction FET) technology - not bandgap - generating a ~0.5 V intrinsic reference with inherently lower noise and thermal hysteresis. Its PTAT-compensated FET pair achieves 8 μVp-p noise (vs. >30 μVp-p for bandgaps) and 50 ppm hysteresis (vs. >100 ppm), with no curvature correction circuitry required.
