Product details
Overview
REF192GS-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a precision micropower low-dropout voltage reference IC delivering 2.50 V ±2 mV initial accuracy, 5 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 45 μA max supply current across −40°C to +85°C. It features sleep mode (15 μA), short-circuit protection, and supports portable instrumentation, high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing, and solar-powered sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the REF192GS-REEL7 datasheet, REF192GS-REEL7 pinout, REF192GS-REEL7 application, or REF192GS-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 10 mA load (1.00 V), load regulation (4 ppm/mA), line regulation (4 ppm/V), and SOIC_N package compatibility with Kelvin sensing and sleep control.
Technical Context
The REF192GS-REEL7 implements a patented curvature-corrected band gap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve <5 ppm/°C drift over industrial temperature range. Its low-dropout architecture enables stable 2.50 V output from supplies as low as 3.5 V at 10 mA load.
Sleep mode is controlled via TTL/CMOS-compatible SLEEP pin (VH ≥ 2.4 V, VL ≤ 0.8 V), reducing quiescent current to ≤15 μA while disabling output. Output stability requires a mandatory 1 μF capacitor between OUTPUT and GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Output Voltage | 2.50 V - precisely trimmed for high-accuracy analog signal chains and data converter reference rails |
| Initial Accuracy | ±2 mV maximum at 25°C - enables 16-bit DAC/ADC full-scale accuracy without calibration |
| Temperature Coefficient | 5 ppm/°C maximum - ensures ≤0.625 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 45 μA maximum - supports multi-year battery life in portable and loop-powered instruments |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.00 V at 10 mA load - allows operation from 3.5 V supply, critical for single-cell Li-ion or dual-AA systems |
| Load Regulation | 4 ppm/mA - maintains output stability under dynamic load changes typical in multiplexed sensor interfaces |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 25 μV p-p - minimizes quantization noise contribution in precision 24-bit sigma-delta ADC applications |
Pinout & Package
REF192GS-REEL7 is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (SOIC-8 narrow-body) package, RoHS-compliant and tape-and-reel packaged as indicated by the "-REEL7" suffix.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (TP) | Factory Test Point | Zener-zap trimming node; must remain unconnected in end application per datasheet directive |
| 2 (VS) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 3.5 V to 15 V input; dropout headroom requirement defines minimum viable supply |
| 3 (SLEEP) | Digital Sleep Control | TTL/CMOS-compatible input; logic low disables output and reduces IQ to ≤15 μA |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Return path for reference output and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 5 (TP) | Factory Test Point | Second Zener-zap node; no user connection permitted per datasheet Note 2 |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 7 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; same handling as Pin 6 |
| 8 (OUTPUT) | Precision Voltage Output | 2.50 V regulated output; requires 1 μF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability and noise reduction |
Key Features

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 TC, 4.5 μA IQ, but only 10 mA max output current and no sleep mode | Better TC and lower IQ, but insufficient drive for 30 mA loads and lacks power-gating capability | Select ADR3425ARJZ-R7 only when load current ≤10 mA and sleep control is unnecessary |
| MAX6126AASA25+ | 2.5 V output, 3 ppm/°C TC, 120 μA IQ, 20 mA output, no sleep mode, higher noise (35 μV p-p) | Superior TC and tighter initial accuracy (±0.5 mV), but higher quiescent current and no power-down function | Choose MAX6126AASA25+ when ultimate TC performance is prioritized over power consumption and sleep control |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the REF192GS-REEL7?
The REF192GS-REEL7 delivers up to 30 mA of continuous output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation performance. At 30 mA load, dropout voltage rises to 1.40 V (at VS = 3.9 V), and load regulation remains within 10 ppm/mA for E-grade devices across −40°C to +85°C. This makes REF192GS-REEL7 suitable for driving ADC references, op-amp bias networks, and small sensor excitation circuits without external buffering.
Does the REF192GS-REEL7 require an output capacitor, and if so, what value and type?
Yes, the REF192GS-REEL7 requires a 1 μF ceramic capacitor connected directly between the OUTPUT and GND pins for stability and noise performance. This is mandatory per the datasheet's Applications Information section. X7R or C0G dielectrics are recommended for minimal capacitance shift over temperature and voltage. Omitting this capacitor risks oscillation, increased noise (beyond the specified 25 μV p-p), and degraded load regulation.
How does sleep mode operate on the REF192GS-REEL7, and what is its impact on output behavior?
Sleep mode on the REF192GS-REEL7 is activated by applying a logic low (≤0.8 V) to the SLEEP pin, which disables the output stage and reduces supply current to ≤15 μA. During sleep, the OUTPUT pin is actively pulled to GND-ensuring no floating or leakage-induced errors in downstream circuitry. The device resumes normal operation within microseconds after SLEEP returns high (≥2.4 V), with full 2.50 V output restored without settling delay beyond typical reference turn-on time.
Is the REF192GS-REEL7 qualified for automotive applications?
The REF192GS-REEL7 is specified over the extended industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) with typical performance validated to +125°C, and its design incorporates features relevant to automotive subsystems-such as robust sleep mode, short-circuit protection, and low thermal drift. However, it is not AEC-Q200 qualified or explicitly marketed for automotive use by Analog Devices. For production automotive applications, designers should consult the manufacturer's latest qualification status and consider AEC-Q100-qualified alternatives like the ADR3425 or LT6654 series.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 5 (TP) on the REF192GS-REEL7, and can they be used in circuit design?
Pins 1 and 5 on the REF192GS-REEL7 are factory test points reserved for in-package Zener zapping during final voltage trimming. Their resistance values vary significantly unit-to-unit and serve no functional role in end-user operation. The datasheet explicitly states these pins must remain unconnected in all applications. Connecting them risks altering output accuracy, inducing instability, or damaging the internal trim network-so REF192GS-REEL7 designs must leave TP pins floating with no PCB traces or vias attached.
