Product details
Overview
REF195FSZ from Analog Devices is a precision micropower low-dropout voltage reference delivering 5.00 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 operates with only 100 mV headroom above output-enabling use in portable instruments and loop-powered sensors.
For engineers reviewing the REF195FSZ datasheet, REF195FSZ pinout, REF195FSZ application, or REF195FSZ equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 10 mA (0.50 V), load regulation (2–4 ppm/mA), sleep-mode enable interface, and SOIC_N package compatibility for space-constrained industrial signal chains.
Technical Context
The REF195FSZ uses a patented curvature-corrected band gap core with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve stable 5.00 V output over temperature. Its architecture integrates a dedicated SLEEP pin (TTL/CMOS-compatible) that disables output and reduces quiescent current to ≤15 μA without external circuitry.
Designed for low-headroom operation, it maintains regulation with input as low as 5.50 V at 10 mA load (500 mV dropout), supports 30 mA output current, and requires only a 1 μF output bypass capacitor for stability per datasheet specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Output Voltage | 5.00 V - precisely trimmed for ADC/DAC reference and sensor excitation requiring stable mid-rail bias. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±2 mV max at 25°C - enables 16-bit system accuracy without post-calibration in factory-set instrumentation. |
| Temp Coefficient | 5 ppm/°C max (E grade) - ensures ≤0.75 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C, critical for unheated outdoor sensor nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.50 V at 10 mA - allows operation from single Li-ion or 5.5 V rail with margin for aging and ripple. |
| Supply Current | 45 μA max - supports >10-year battery life in solar-powered remote data loggers drawing <100 μA average. |
| Sleep Mode Current | 15 μA max - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-event architectures via microcontroller-controlled SLEEP pin assertion. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 50 μV p-p - suitable for 16-bit SAR ADCs without additional filtering in precision measurement front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
REF195FSZ is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (SOIC-8 narrow-body) package, pin-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 footprints and compatible with automated assembly processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (TP) | Factory Test Point | Zener-zap trim point; must remain unconnected in end application to preserve accuracy. |
| 2 (VS) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 5.10 V to 15 V; minimum 5.50 V required for 10 mA load with 500 mV dropout. |
| 3 (SLEEP) | Digital Enable Control | Active-low TTL/CMOS input; drives output to high-impedance state when logic low (<0.8 V). |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Return path for output and internal bias; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 (TP) | Factory Test Point | Second Zener-zap node; no user connection permitted per datasheet Figure 1 and test pin notes. |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per PCB layout best practice. |
| 7 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; same handling as Pin 6-no routing or termination required. |
| 8 (OUTPUT) | Precision Voltage Output | Delivers regulated 5.00 V; requires 1 μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3450ARJZ-R7 | 5.0 V output, 3 ppm/°C max tempco, 4.5 μA typical supply current, SOT-23-5 package. | Lower power but lower output current (15 mA); no sleep mode; smaller footprint. | Choose for ultra-low-power wearable sensors where 15 mA load and minimal board area outweigh need for sleep control. |
| MAX6126AASA50+T | 5.0 V output, 3 ppm/°C max tempco, 120 μA supply current, SO-8 package, no sleep pin. | Higher drive capability (20 mA), better noise (12 μV p-p), but no power-gating feature. | Choose for high-precision lab equipment requiring lowest noise and highest long-term stability, accepting higher quiescent current. |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the REF195FSZ?
The REF195FSZ delivers up to 30 mA of continuous output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. At 30 mA load, dropout voltage rises to 1.30 V (e.g., 6.30 V input required for 5.00 V output), and load regulation remains within 2–4 ppm/mA for E grade-ensuring stable reference performance in current-sinking sensor interfaces and multi-channel data acquisition systems using REF195FSZ.
Does the REF195FSZ require an output capacitor, and if so, what value and type?
Yes, the REF195FSZ requires a 1 μF ceramic capacitor connected between the OUTPUT (Pin 8) and GND (Pin 4) for stability and noise reduction, as explicitly mandated in the datasheet's Applications Information section. X7R or C0G dielectrics are recommended; tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are not advised due to ESR and aging effects that may degrade transient response and long-term accuracy of REF195FSZ.
How does the SLEEP pin function on the REF195FSZ, and what are its voltage thresholds?
The SLEEP pin (Pin 3) is an active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible control input: logic low (<0.8 V) disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤15 μA, while logic high (>2.4 V) enables normal operation at ≤45 μA. Input leakage is ≤−8 μA in both states. This hardware-controlled sleep mode allows deterministic power gating in microcontroller-based systems without firmware overhead-critical for extending battery life in devices using REF195FSZ.
What is the guaranteed temperature coefficient for the REF195FSZ over −40°C to +85°C?
The REF195FSZ E grade guarantees a maximum temperature coefficient of 5 ppm/°C over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, corresponding to a total output drift of ≤0.75 mV across that range. This spec is verified per Table 15 in the Rev. L datasheet and applies specifically to the REF195FSZ part number-not inferred from other REF19x variants-ensuring predictable performance in unheated outdoor enclosures and automotive under-hood environments.
Is the REF195FSZ pin-compatible with other members of the REF19x family, such as REF192FSZ or REF196FSZ?
Yes, all REF19x series devices-including REF195FSZ, REF192FSZ, and REF196FSZ-share identical 8-lead SOIC_N (S suffix) pinouts per Figures 1 and 2 of the datasheet. Pin functions (VS, SLEEP, GND, OUTPUT, TP, NC) and physical layout are fully interchangeable, enabling reference voltage scaling (2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V) without PCB redesign-provided the input supply and load requirements of each variant are met in the target application using REF195FSZ.
