Product details
Overview
ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is an ultralow-noise, precision XFET® voltage reference IC delivering 4.096 V output with ±1.6 mV initial accuracy (B grade), 3 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 1.8 µV p-p (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz) noise. It operates from 4.6 V to 18 V input, supports ±10 mA/−5 mA sourcing/sinking, and targets high-resolution ADC biasing in portable medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 pinout, ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 application, or ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-frequency noise performance, trim-adjustable output, LDO headroom of 500 mV, and operation across −40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 implements XFET® technology-using two JFETs with differential pinch-off voltage and PTAT current correction-to achieve near-zero curvature temperature drift and intrinsic 0.5 V reference core. Its architecture eliminates buried Zener limitations while enabling low-noise operation at minimal supply headroom.
It integrates a dedicated TRIM terminal for ±0.5% output adjustment without degrading noise or drift, supports bidirectional load current (source up to +10 mA, sink up to −5 mA), and maintains stable regulation under line/load transients per Figures 25–27 in Rev. G datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096 V nominal; B-grade devices guaranteed 4.0944 V to 4.0976 V at 25°C - enables direct interface with 12-bit SAR ADCs requiring precise 4.096 V full-scale reference. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.6 mV (0.04%) - reduces calibration burden in factory-trimmed instrumentation systems. |
| Temp Coefficient | 3 ppm/°C (B grade, −40°C to +125°C) - ensures ≤ ±0.5 mV total drift over full temperature range, critical for field-deployed sensors. |
| Voltage Noise | 1.8 µV p-p (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz) - directly limits effective resolution in 24-bit delta-sigma ADC front-ends. |
| Supply Headroom | 500 mV minimum (VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5 V) - allows operation from single Li+ cell (4.2 V) with margin for aging and dropout. |
| Output Current | +10 mA source / −5 mA sink - drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DAC loads without external buffers. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.75 mA max - balances low-noise performance with power budget constraints in battery-powered designs. |
Pinout & Package
ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (RM suffix) package with exposed pad. Pin 1 is DNC (Do Not Connect); pins 3 and 7 are NIC (Not Internally Connected); pin 4 is GND; pin 2 is VIN; pin 6 is VOUT; pin 5 is TRIM.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | DNC | Must remain unconnected - internal floating node; soldering or routing causes parametric shift or failure. |
| 2 | VIN | Main power input; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor close to pin to suppress PSRR degradation above 1 kHz. |
| 3, 7 | NIC | No internal connection; electrically isolated - may be used as thermal relief or left floating on PCB. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must tie to clean low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling into VOUT. |
| 5 | TRIM | Adjustment node for ±0.5% output scaling via external resistor divider; high-impedance input - sensitive to leakage and EMI. |
| 6 | VOUT | Stable 4.096 V reference output; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin to ensure phase margin and transient stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| XFET® Reference Core | Replaces traditional buried Zener with JFET-based topology - achieves 3 ppm/°C drift and 1.8 µV p-p noise without requiring high supply voltage or complex compensation. |
| Trim-Adjustable Output | TRIM pin enables ±0.5% fine-tuning of VOUT using external resistors - preserves initial accuracy and tempco while accommodating system-level gain calibration. |
| Bidirectional Output Drive | Source up to +10 mA and sink up to −5 mA - eliminates need for external buffer op-amps when driving switched-capacitor ADC inputs or active filters. |
| Low Dropout Operation | 500 mV headroom enables use with 4.6 V minimum input - supports direct regulation from buck-boost converters or aged lithium batteries. |
| Extended Temperature Range | Specified from −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial process controllers without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4540BRZ-R7 | 4.096 V output, 0.8 ppm/°C max tempco, 1.75 µV p-p noise, but only +10 mA source (no sink capability) and 1.2 V min headroom. | Suitable for high-stability, low-drift systems where bidirectional drive is unnecessary and higher input voltage is available. | Select ADR4540BRZ-R7 when ultimate drift performance is prioritized over sink current and low-headroom operation. |
| REF5040AIDR | 4.096 V output, 3 ppm/°C max tempco, 2.3 µV p-p noise, +10 mA/−10 mA drive, but requires 1.2 V headroom and consumes 1.1 mA quiescent current. | Better sink capability suits active filter biasing; higher noise limits use in highest-resolution ADCs. | Select REF5040AIDR when symmetric ±10 mA drive is required and 1.2 V headroom is acceptable in the power architecture. |
Compared with ADR444ARMZ-REEL7, ADR4540BRZ-R7 offers lower drift but lacks sink current and demands higher headroom, while REF5040AIDR provides stronger sink drive at the cost of higher noise and reduced battery runtime efficiency.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 over temperature?
The ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 (B grade) guarantees output voltage between 4.0944 V and 4.0976 V at 25°C, with total variation ≤ ±0.5 mV across −40°C to +125°C due to its 3 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This corresponds to ±0.5 mV absolute drift, confirmed in Table 5 and Figure 8 of Rev. G datasheet.
Can ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 sink current, and how much?
Yes, ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 can sink up to −5 mA continuously, as specified in Table 5 under "OUTPUT CURRENT CAPACITY". This capability supports active discharge of capacitive loads, biasing of current-sinking DACs, and lead-off detection circuits in medical instrumentation without external components.
What is the minimum input voltage required for ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 to regulate properly?
The minimum input voltage for ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 is 4.6 V, defined by its 500 mV dropout requirement above the 4.096 V nominal output. This is explicitly stated in Table 5 under "SUPPLY VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE" and validated in Figure 20 showing headroom vs. load current.
How does the TRIM pin on ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 function, and what is its adjustment range?
The TRIM pin on ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 allows ±0.5% output voltage scaling using an external resistor divider, as detailed in the "Output Adjustment" section (Page 16). The adjustment preserves initial accuracy and temperature coefficient, and the pin presents high impedance - requiring guarded routing to avoid leakage-induced errors.
Is ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 suitable for battery-powered applications with Li-ion cells?
Yes, ADR444ARMZ-REEL7 is optimized for battery-powered use: its 4.6 V minimum input supports operation down to ~3.8 V after battery aging, 3.75 mA quiescent current minimizes drain, and −40°C to +125°C rating covers cold-weather deployment. These traits are validated in Figures 10–13 and Table 5 of the Rev. G datasheet.
