Product details
Overview
ADR5041AKSZ-R2 from Analog Devices is a precision 2.5 V shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, delivering ±0.2% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 50 µA to 15 mA supply current - used for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation and automotive power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ADR5041AKSZ-R2 datasheet, ADR5041AKSZ-R2 pinout, ADR5041AKSZ-R2 application, or ADR5041AKSZ-R2 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance (−40°C to +125°C), and real-world design guidance for shunt reference biasing, stacking, and negative-voltage generation.
Technical Context
The ADR5041AKSZ-R2 implements a bandgap-based shunt topology with zero external capacitor requirement and guaranteed stability across capacitive loads. Its output voltage is defined by internal curvature-compensated transistor junctions, enabling low hysteresis (40 ppm) and fast turn-on settling (35 µs).
It operates as a two-terminal device requiring only an external bias resistor (RBIAS) to regulate current flow between supply and load. The reference maintains regulation over input currents from 50 µA to 15 mA and exhibits dynamic output impedance of 0.2 Ω across its full operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V at 100 µA - precise mid-rail reference for 12-bit+ data converters and sensor signal chains. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% (±5 mV) - enables single-point calibration in factory-trimmed systems without post-assembly trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | 100 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C) - supports stable performance in under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| Operating Current | 50 µA to 15 mA - accommodates ultra-low-power battery monitoring and high-current precision regulators. |
| Voltage Noise | 3.2 µV rms (0.1–10 Hz), 150 µV rms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - suitable for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without additional filtering. |
| Turn-On Settling | 35 µs (CLOAD = 0 µF) - allows rapid power-up sequencing in wake-on-event systems. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω - minimizes load-induced voltage droop during transient current steps in mixed-signal SoCs. |
Pinout & Package
ADR5041AKSZ-R2 uses the 3-lead SC70 (KS-3) package per JEDEC MO-203AA, with 1.1 mm × 1.3 mm footprint and 0.65 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 (V+) connects to system supply, Pin 2 (V−) to ground/load return, and Pin 3 (T) is the temperature-sensing terminal recommended to be tied to V+ per datasheet Note 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Anode / Input Terminal | Connects to positive supply rail via external bias resistor; carries total current (IIN + IL). |
| V− | Cathode / Output Terminal | Provides regulated 2.5 V reference node; must be connected to load and/or ground return path. |
| T | Temperature Sense Terminal | Internally monitors die temperature; datasheet recommends connection to V+ to minimize thermal error contribution. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Stable with any capacitive load up to 1 µF - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for decoupling caps in space-constrained designs. |
| Precision shunt architecture | 2.5 V output with ±0.2% initial tolerance and 100 ppm/°C drift - meets requirements for Class 0.1 energy meters and ISO 26262 ASIL-B subsystems. |
| Ultralow quiescent current | 50 µA minimum operating current - extends battery life in handheld multimeters and wireless sensor nodes beyond 5 years. |
| Automotive-qualified variant available | ADR5041W series qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 - supports direct integration into engine control units and ADAS domain controllers. |
| Stackable for custom voltages | Multiple units can be series-connected to generate user-defined outputs (e.g., +7.5 V using ADR5041 + ADR5045) - avoids need for discrete resistor dividers in programmable supplies. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040C25IDBZR | 2.5 V, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C, SOT-23-3 package, requires ≥60 µA min current | Lower accuracy limits use in 16-bit+ systems; higher min current reduces battery life in ultra-low-power designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision needs and thermal drift is mitigated by system-level calibration. |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C typical tempco, SOT-23-5 package, series topology, 300 µA quiescent current | Series architecture eliminates bias resistor but increases supply headroom requirement and static power draw | Prefer for fixed-supply systems where layout simplicity and ultra-low drift outweigh current efficiency concerns. |

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for ADR5041AKSZ-R2?
The ADR5041AKSZ-R2 requires a minimum operating current of 50 µA at 25°C and 60 µA across the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range. This ultralow threshold enables use in energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered devices where supply current budgets are tightly constrained. Operation below this current risks loss of regulation and increased output voltage error.
Can ADR5041AKSZ-R2 be used without an external capacitor?
Yes, ADR5041AKSZ-R2 is explicitly designed to operate stably without any external capacitor between its terminals. Its internal compensation ensures stability with capacitive loads up to 1 µF, eliminating the need for external bypass components and simplifying PCB layout in compact designs such as wearable sensors and handheld test equipment.
Is ADR5041AKSZ-R2 qualified for automotive applications?
No, ADR5041AKSZ-R2 is the commercial-grade variant. For automotive use, select ADR5041WARTZ-R7 or ADR5041WBRTZ-R7, which are AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and manufactured under controlled automotive processes. These variants maintain identical electrical specifications but include enhanced reliability testing and traceability documentation required for automotive Tier 1 suppliers.
How does the T pin function on ADR5041AKSZ-R2?
The T pin on ADR5041AKSZ-R2 is an internal temperature-sensing node. Per Analog Devices' datasheet Note 1, it is recommended to connect this pin directly to V+ to minimize thermal hysteresis and improve long-term stability. Leaving it floating or connecting it to other potentials may introduce uncharacterized errors in output voltage vs. temperature behavior.
What is the maximum reverse current rating for ADR5041AKSZ-R2?
The absolute maximum reverse current rating for ADR5041AKSZ-R2 is 25 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this value - even momentarily - risks permanent damage to the internal bandgap core. Designers must size the external bias resistor (RBIAS) to ensure that worst-case supply voltage and minimum load current do not drive reverse current beyond this limit.
