Product details
Overview
REF1925AIDDCR from Texas Instruments is a dual-output, low-drift, low-power voltage reference IC providing precisely trimmed VREF = 2.5 V and VBIAS = 1.25 V (VREF/2) outputs for single-supply signal conditioning. It delivers ±0.1% initial accuracy, 25 ppm/°C max temperature drift over –40°C to 125°C, and ±20 mA output current capability in a SOT23-5 package. It is used in high-precision ADC biasing, current-sensing front-ends, and industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the REF1925AIDDCR datasheet, REF1925AIDDCR pinout, REF1925AIDDCR application, or REF1925AIDDCR equivalent, key selection criteria include VREF/VBIAS tracking performance (≤7 ppm/°C), ultra-low dropout (10 mV), quiescent current (360 µA), and dual-output stability under load and temperature variation.
Technical Context
The REF1925AIDDCR implements an e-Trim™ band-gap core with two independent buffered outputs: one delivering the full reference voltage (VREF), the other delivering exactly half (VBIAS = VREF/2) via precision resistor networks. Both outputs share the same thermal drift source, enabling tight tracking.
It operates in active mode when EN ≥ VIN – 0.7 V and enters shutdown (5 µA IQ) when EN < 0.7 V; dropout is specified at 10 mV (IL = 20 mA), supporting operation from input voltages as low as VREF + 20 mV. Output impedance remains below 0.1 Ω up to 10 kHz with 1 µF capacitive load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF Output | 2.5 V ±0.1% - stable primary reference for ADCs and DACs |
| VBIAS Output | 1.25 V ±0.1% - exact VREF/2 for bipolar signal centering in single-supply systems |
| Temp Drift (VREF/VBIAS) | ±25 ppm/°C max (–40°C to 125°C) - ensures < ±0.03125 V error across full industrial range |
| VREF–VBIAS Tracking | ±7 ppm/°C max (–40°C to 125°C) - maintains ratio integrity critical for ratiometric measurements |
| Quiescent Current | 360 µA typ - enables battery-powered precision sensing with minimal power penalty |
| Dropout Voltage | 10 mV @ 20 mA - allows operation from 2.51 V supply, ideal for low-voltage embedded systems |
| Output Current | ±20 mA per output - supports direct driving of ADC references, op-amp bias networks, and small loads |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body), surface-mount, moisture-sensitive level 1. Thermal resistance RθJA = 193.6 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VBIAS | Output | Provides 1.25 V reference (VREF/2); sinks/sources ±20 mA; tracks VREF within ±7 ppm/°C |
| 2 - GND | Reference | Analog ground return for both outputs; must be low-impedance and separated from digital ground |
| 3 - EN | Digital Input | Enable control: high (≥VIN – 0.7 V) activates outputs; low (< 0.7 V) disables outputs and reduces IQ to 5 µA |
| 4 - VIN | Power Input | Supply input (2.52 V to 5.5 V); dropout as low as 10 mV enables use with near-threshold supplies |
| 5 - VREF | Output | Primary 2.5 V reference output; identical accuracy, drift, and load capability as VBIAS |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual matched outputs | VREF = 2.5 V and VBIAS = 1.25 V, both with ±0.1% initial accuracy and identical drift behavior |
| e-Trim™ calibration | Package-level trimming after molding minimizes post-assembly drift and solder-induced offset shifts |
| VREF/VBIAS tracking | ≤7 ppm/°C over –40°C to 125°C - enables accurate ratiometric scaling without external matching |
| Low-noise operation | 12 ppmPP (0.1 Hz–10 Hz) - supports 16-bit+ data acquisition without added filtering overhead |
| Capacitive load stability | Stable with 0–10 µF output capacitance - simplifies layout and eliminates need for external compensation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF1925AIDBVR | SOT23-5 package, same electrical specs, but tape-and-reel packaging optimized for automated assembly; no functional difference | Identical use cases; preferred for high-volume SMT production due to reel compatibility | Select REF1925AIDBVR for volume manufacturing; REF1925AIDDCR is standard cut-tape variant. |
| ADR4525BRZ | Single-output 2.5 V reference (no VBIAS); 2 ppm/°C drift, lower noise (1.2 µVPP), higher cost, SOIC-8 package | Requires external resistor divider + buffer to generate VBIAS; better for ultra-low-drift standalone reference needs | Choose ADR4525BRZ only if sub-5 ppm/°C drift is mandatory and VBIAS can be derived externally. |
Compared with REF1925AIDDCR, REF1925AIDBVR offers identical performance in a production-optimized reel format, while ADR4525BRZ trades dual-output convenience for superior drift and noise-making REF1925AIDDCR optimal for integrated, space-constrained, single-supply precision systems.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of REF1925AIDDCR at room temperature?
The REF1925AIDDCR guarantees ±0.1% initial accuracy for both VREF (2.5 V) and VBIAS (1.25 V) outputs at TA = 25°C, as verified per TI SBOS697A datasheet Section 7.5. This corresponds to ±2.5 mV on VREF and ±1.25 mV on VBIAS, measured with IL = 0 mA and VIN = 5 V.
Does REF1925AIDDCR support bidirectional output current?
Yes, REF1925AIDDCR supports ±20 mA output current on both VREF and VBIAS pins. It can source up to +20 mA and sink up to –20 mA while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation, making it suitable for driving ADC references, op-amp bias networks, and small resistive loads in either direction.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on REF1925AIDDCR?
The EN pin places REF1925AIDDCR into active mode when pulled to ≥ VIN – 0.7 V, enabling both outputs. When EN is pulled below 0.7 V, the device enters shutdown mode: outputs go high-impedance and quiescent current drops to 5 µA max. No external pull-up is required-EN is internally biased.
Can REF1925AIDDCR operate from a 2.7 V supply?
Yes, REF1925AIDDCR operates from VIN ≥ VREF + 0.02 V = 2.52 V (min), so 2.7 V is fully supported. At 2.7 V and 20 mA load, dropout remains ≤20 mV (per datasheet Figure 24), ensuring stable 2.5 V and 1.25 V outputs with adequate headroom.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for REF1925AIDDCR?
REF1925AIDDCR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature (TA). All key specifications-including output accuracy, drift, tracking, and load regulation-are guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range per SBOS697A Section 7.3.
