Product details
Overview
ADR5044AKSZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a precision 4.096 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 - ideal for high-resolution ADC biasing in portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADR5044AKSZ-REEL datasheet, ADR5044AKSZ-REEL pinout, ADR5044AKSZ-REEL application, or ADR5044AKSZ-REEL equivalent, this device serves as a space-constrained, low-drift, capacitor-free reference for battery-powered instrumentation requiring tight voltage stability across −40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The ADR5044AKSZ-REEL implements a bandgap-based shunt architecture with zero external compensation required, achieving stable regulation into any capacitive load. Its output voltage is trimmed at wafer level to ensure ±0.2% initial accuracy at 100 µA.
It operates over a wide dynamic current range (50 µA–15 mA) while maintaining <8 mV output variation across that range and exhibiting only 40 ppm hysteresis after thermal cycling - critical for repeatable measurements in automotive and industrial control loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096 V ±8.192 mV (Grade A) - matches standard 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale reference points. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% - enables single-point calibration in precision sensor signal chains without trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | 100 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C) - contributes ≤±0.512 mV drift over full automotive temperature range. |
| Operating Current | 50 µA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sleep modes and high-speed settling in active measurement cycles. |
| Turn-On Settling | 56 µs (CLOAD = 0 µF) - ensures fast reference stabilization before ADC conversion starts. |
| Voltage Noise | 5.4 µV rms (0.1 Hz–10 Hz), 240 µV rms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - suitable for 16-bit+ data acquisition without added filtering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω - minimizes load-induced error when driving multiplexed analog front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
ADR5044AKSZ-REEL uses the 3-lead SC70 (KS-3) package: ultracompact footprint (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, RoHS-compliant, reflow-compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Anode / Input terminal | Connected to positive supply via bias resistor; sinks current to regulate reference node voltage. |
| V− | Cathode / Output terminal | Provides stable 4.096 V output relative to system ground; must be tied to ground for proper operation. |
| T | Trim / Temperature sense | Internal trim node; datasheet recommends connecting to V+ to minimize thermal gradient effects on accuracy. |
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. |
| Precision output voltage | 4.096 V nominal - aligns with common 12-bit (212 = 4096) digital scaling, simplifying gain calibration. |
| Extended temperature range | −40°C to +125°C operation - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial edge-node deployment. |
| Low quiescent current | 50 µA minimum operating current - enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Pin compatibility | Drop-in replacement for LM4040/LM4050 - allows legacy design upgrades without PCB revision. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR5044BKSZ-REEL | ±0.1% initial accuracy (vs. ±0.2%), same 4.096 V output and SC70-3 package | Better suited for 16-bit+ systems requiring tighter absolute accuracy without calibration | Select when higher initial tolerance justifies minor cost premium and tighter test limits are needed. |
| LM4040CIM3-4.1/NOPB | 4.096 V output, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C TC, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks automotive qualification and extended temperature support; lower accuracy grade | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where −40°C to +85°C range suffices and calibration is acceptable. |
Compared with ADR5044AKSZ-REEL, the ADR5044BKSZ-REEL improves initial accuracy by 2× at identical temperature performance, while the LM4040CIM3-4.1 offers broader distributor availability but sacrifices automotive qualification and absolute precision - making ADR5044AKSZ-REEL optimal for calibrated industrial designs needing guaranteed −40°C to +125°C behavior.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the ADR5044AKSZ-REEL over temperature?
The ADR5044AKSZ-REEL has a maximum temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C across −40°C to +125°C. At 4.096 V nominal, this translates to ±0.512 mV drift per 100°C span - resulting in ≤±1.024 mV total deviation over full range. This is confirmed in Table 5 of the Rev. E datasheet under "Temperature Coefficient" for Grade A devices.
Can the ADR5044AKSZ-REEL operate without an external capacitor?
Yes, the ADR5044AKSZ-REEL is explicitly designed to be stable with no external capacitor required between its terminals. It remains stable into any capacitive load, including bypass caps used on the supply rail. This is stated in both the FEATURES and GENERAL DESCRIPTION sections of the datasheet and verified in Figure 14 (output impedance vs. frequency).
What is the minimum operating current for the ADR5044AKSZ-REEL at −40°C?
The ADR5044AKSZ-REEL requires a minimum operating current of 60 µA at −40°C, as specified in Table 5 ("Minimum Operating Current") under "−40°C < TA < +125°C". This is higher than the 50 µA minimum at 25°C to ensure reliable regulation under cold-start conditions.
Is the ADR5044AKSZ-REEL qualified for automotive applications?
No - only the ADR5044W variants (e.g., ADR5044WARTZ-R7) are automotive-qualified. The ADR5044AKSZ-REEL is rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and meets industrial reliability standards, but it lacks the controlled manufacturing flow, AEC-Q200 stress testing, and automotive-specific reliability reporting required for automotive use.
How does the ADR5044AKSZ-REEL compare to the LM4040 in terms of pin compatibility?
The ADR5044AKSZ-REEL is pin compatible with the LM4040 and LM4050 families in SC70-3 and SOT-23-3 packages. Pin 1 (V+), Pin 2 (V−), and Pin 3 (T) map identically - enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts. This is explicitly noted in the FEATURES section and validated in the PIN CONFIGURATION diagram (Figure 1).
