Product details
Overview
REF192ES from Analog Devices is a precision micropower low-dropout voltage reference IC delivering 2.50 V output with ±2 mV initial accuracy, 5 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 45 μA max supply current-designed for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation and solar-powered sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the REF192ES datasheet, REF192ES pinout, REF192ES application, or REF192ES equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (1.00 V at 10 mA), sleep-mode current (15 μA), load regulation (4 ppm/mA), and extended industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C) with automotive-grade performance up to +125°C.
Technical Context
The REF192ES uses a patented curvature-corrected band gap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve stable 2.50 V output across temperature and load. Its SLEEP pin enables TTL/CMOS-compatible shutdown, reducing quiescent current to ≤15 μA while disabling output.
It operates with supply voltages as low as 100 mV above nominal output (i.e., ≥2.60 V), supports 30 mA output current, and requires only a 1 μF output bypass capacitor for stability. Line regulation is specified at 4 ppm/V (E grade, 25°C), and load regulation at 4 ppm/mA under defined conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Output Voltage | 2.50 V - precisely trimmed for use as reference in 12-bit to 16-bit data converters |
| Initial Accuracy | ±2 mV maximum (E grade) - ensures ≤0.08% absolute error at 25°C before calibration |
| Temp Coefficient | 5 ppm/°C maximum (E grade, −40°C to +85°C) - contributes ≤125 μV drift over full industrial range |
| Supply Current | 45 μA maximum - enables multi-year battery life in energy-constrained IoT sensors |
| Sleep Mode Current | 15 μA maximum - allows periodic wake-up architectures without compromising system standby power |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.00 V at 10 mA load - permits operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–3.6 V) or 3.3 V rails with margin |
| Output Noise | 25 μV p-p (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz) - minimizes quantization uncertainty in precision measurement front-ends |
Pinout & Package
REF192ES is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (SOIC-8) package (S suffix), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 and Pin 5 are factory test points (TP) and must remain unconnected in circuit.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (TP) | Factory Zener trim point | No user connection; internal trimming node-floating per design |
| 2 (VS) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.60 V to 15 V; dropout headroom as low as 100 mV required |
| 3 (SLEEP) | Digital enable control | Active-low TTL/CMOS input; <0.8 V disables output and reduces IQ to ≤15 μA |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be tied to clean system ground; Kelvin connection recommended for high-accuracy layouts |
| 5 (TP) | Factory Zener trim point | No user connection; internal trimming node-floating per design |
| 6 (NC) | No connect | Internally unused; leave unconnected and unstubbed |
| 7 (NC) | No connect | Internally unused; leave unconnected and unstubbed |
| 8 (OUTPUT) | Precision voltage output | 2.50 V source capable of sourcing up to 30 mA; requires 1 μF ceramic bypass to GND |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V output, 3 ppm/°C max tempco, 4.5 μA typical IQ, no sleep mode, SOT-23-5 package | Better tempco and lower quiescent current, but lacks digital shutdown and higher output drive (10 mA only) | Preferred for space-constrained, always-on ultra-low-power designs where sleep control is unnecessary |
| MAX6126AASA+T | 2.5 V output, 3 ppm/°C max tempco, 350 μA IQ, no sleep mode, SOIC-8 package | Superior long-term stability (20 ppm/√kHr) and better line/load regulation, but 8× higher supply current | Chosen when aging-critical applications (e.g., metrology calibrators) outweigh power budget constraints |
Compared with ADR3425ARJZ-R7 and MAX6126AASA+T, REF192ES uniquely balances micropower operation (45 μA), digital sleep control (15 μA), 30 mA output drive, and SOIC-8 compatibility-making it optimal for battery-backed instrumentation requiring both precision and dynamic power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the REF192ES?
The REF192ES delivers up to 30 mA of output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. This capability supports direct driving of multiple ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, or low-power microcontroller VREF pins without external buffering-enabling simplified, compact PCB layouts in multi-channel data acquisition systems.
Does the REF192ES require an output bypass capacitor, and if so, what value?
Yes, the REF192ES requires a minimum 1 μF ceramic capacitor connected between the OUTPUT and GND pins for stability and noise reduction. This capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the device pins; X7R or C0G dielectrics are recommended to maintain low ESR and ensure consistent performance across temperature and voltage.
How does the SLEEP pin function on the REF192ES?
The SLEEP pin on the REF192ES is an active-low digital control input: applying a logic low (<0.8 V) disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤15 μA, while a logic high (>2.4 V) enables normal operation at ≤45 μA. No external pull-up is required-the internal structure supports direct connection to MCU GPIO pins.
What is the minimum supply voltage needed for the REF192ES to regulate at 2.50 V?
The REF192ES achieves regulation with a minimum supply voltage of 2.60 V-corresponding to its 100 mV dropout specification. At 10 mA load, the datasheet specifies 1.00 V dropout, meaning VS must be ≥3.50 V; actual minimum VS depends on load current and temperature, and must exceed VO + dropout voltage under operating conditions.
Is the REF192ES qualified for automotive applications?
The REF192ES is specified over the extended industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) with typical performance validated to +125°C, supporting under-hood and cabin applications. While not AEC-Q200 qualified, its tested behavior at +125°C and robustness features-including short-circuit protection and solder heat resilience-make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems like body control modules and infotainment sensors.
