Product details
Overview
REF2025AIDDCT from Texas Instruments is a dual-output, low-drift, low-power voltage reference IC delivering precise 2.5 V (VREF) and 1.25 V (VREF/2) outputs for single-supply signal conditioning. It achieves ±0.05% initial accuracy, 8 ppm/°C max temperature drift over –40°C to 125°C, and 6 ppm/°C max VREF–VBIAS tracking over –40°C to 85°C. Used in high-precision ADC biasing for electricity meters and industrial analog I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the REF2025AIDDCT datasheet, REF2025AIDDCT pinout, REF2025AIDDCT application, or REF2025AIDDCT equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail output matching, microsize SOT23-5 footprint, sub-10 mV dropout, ±20 mA drive capability, and guaranteed tracking performance across extended temperature ranges.
Technical Context
The REF2025AIDDCT integrates a band-gap core with two independent e-Trim™-calibrated buffers-one for VREF and one for VBIAS-ensuring matched initial accuracy and temperature coefficients. Its architecture enables simultaneous sourcing and sinking up to ±20 mA per output without compromising stability or accuracy.
It operates from VIN ≥ VREF + 20 mV, supports enable-controlled shutdown (3.3–5 µA quiescent current), and maintains <12 ppmPP low-frequency noise (0.1–10 Hz). Thermal hysteresis is limited to 60 ppm (cycle 1) and 35 ppm (cycle 2), with long-term stability of 25 ppm over 1000 hours.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF Output | 2.5 V ±0.05% - stable reference for 16-bit+ ADCs requiring mid-scale bias |
| VBIAS Output | 1.25 V ±0.05% - exact half of VREF, enabling true bipolar signal centering |
| Temp Drift (VREF/VBIAS) | ±8 ppm/°C max (–40°C to 125°C) - ensures <±0.02% full-range error over industrial temp range |
| VREF–VBIAS Tracking | ±6 ppm/°C max (–40°C to 85°C) - maintains <±0.01% relative error for differential sensing |
| Dropout Voltage | 10 mV at 20 mA - allows operation from 2.52 V supply, critical for battery-powered systems |
| Quiescent Current | 360 µA typical - enables >1-year runtime on coin-cell batteries in portable instrumentation |
| Output Drive | ±20 mA - eliminates need for external op-amp buffers in analog input/output modules |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm), surface-mount, matte-Sn finish option available for corrosion resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VBIAS | Output | Provides 1.25 V reference (VREF/2); sinks/sources ±20 mA; matches VREF drift within ±6 ppm/°C |
| 2 - GND | Reference | Analog ground return for both outputs; must be low-impedance to maintain 8 ppm/°C drift spec |
| 3 - EN | Input | Enable control: device active when EN ≥ VIN – 0.7 V; enters shutdown below 0.7 V |
| 4 - VIN | Input | Supply input: minimum 2.52 V (VREF + 20 mV); max 6 V; powers both reference outputs |
| 5 - VREF | Output | Primary 2.5 V reference output; identical accuracy/drift specs as VBIAS; drives ADC REF pins directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual matched outputs | VREF = 2.5 V and VBIAS = 1.25 V with ±0.05% initial accuracy and ±8 ppm/°C drift on both |
| e-Trim™ calibration | Package-level trimming after molding corrects for die stress and transistor mismatch, ensuring spec compliance |
| Ultra-low dropout | 10 mV at full 20 mA load enables use with Li-ion cells down to 2.52 V without LDO pre-regulation |
| High PSRR | ≥80 dB at 100 Hz (CL = 10 µF) - rejects supply ripple in noisy industrial power rails |
| Low noise | 12 ppmPP (0.1–10 Hz), 0.25 ppm/√Hz at 100 Hz - supports 24-bit delta-sigma ADCs without filtering |
Applications
| Electricity Meter | Analog Input Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-accuracy energy measurement using 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs with bipolar current/voltage inputs.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF2025AIDBVR | SOT23-5 package same; identical electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging only (no cut-tape) | No functional difference; suited for automated high-volume assembly | Select REF2025AIDBVR for production runs >5k units where reel delivery is preferred. |
| ADR4525BRZ | Single-output 2.5 V reference (no VBIAS); 2 ppm/°C drift; higher cost; SOIC-8 package | Requires external resistor divider + buffer to generate VBIAS; adds 0.05% matching error and thermal drift | Choose ADR4525BRZ only if ultra-low drift (<2 ppm/°C) is mandatory and board space permits added components. |
Compared with REF2025AIDDCT, REF2025AIDBVR offers identical performance in reel format, while ADR4525BRZ trades dual-output convenience for lower drift but increases design complexity and cost per channel.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by each output of the REF2025AIDDCT?
The REF2025AIDDCT supports ±20 mA continuous current on both VREF and VBIAS outputs. This allows direct driving of ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and DAC reference pins without external buffering. Performance remains within datasheet specifications-including 8 ppm/°C drift and ±0.05% accuracy-even at full ±20 mA load across the –40°C to 125°C temperature range.
Does the REF2025AIDDCT require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the REF2025AIDDCT is internally compensated and stable with 0–10 µF output capacitance. A 1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended on each output for optimal transient response and noise reduction. Larger capacitors (up to 10 µF) improve PSRR above 100 Hz but do not affect DC accuracy or thermal drift performance of the REF2025AIDDCT.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on the REF2025AIDDCT?
The EN pin controls active/shutdown mode: device operates normally when EN ≥ VIN – 0.7 V; it enters low-power shutdown (3.3–5 µA ICC) when EN < 0.7 V. The transition is monotonic with no glitching. During shutdown, both VREF and VBIAS outputs go high-impedance-critical for power-gated subsystems in battery-operated REF2025AIDDCT designs.
Can the REF2025AIDDCT be used in systems with supply voltages below 2.5 V?
No-the REF2025AIDDCT requires VIN ≥ VREF + 20 mV (i.e., ≥2.52 V) to maintain regulation and specified accuracy. Below this threshold, VREF and VBIAS drop out of regulation. For sub-2.5 V systems, consider the REF2012 (1.25 V VREF) or REF2030 (3.0 V VREF) variants-both share identical architecture and specs with REF2025AIDDCT.
What is the long-term stability specification for the REF2025AIDDCT?
The REF2025AIDDCT exhibits 25 ppm maximum long-term stability over 1000 hours under standard operating conditions (TA = 35°C, VIN = 5 V). This value reflects typical aging behavior measured on soldered PCBs and is validated per TI's SBOS600E datasheet Section 8.2. It ensures predictable performance in field-deployed REF2025AIDDCT applications like clinical thermometers and lab instrumentation.
