Product details
Overview
REF2025QDDCRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual-output voltage reference IC delivering precise VREF = 2.5 V and VBIAS = 1.25 V outputs for automotive signal conditioning. It features ±0.05% initial accuracy, 8 ppm/°C max temperature drift over –40°C to +125°C, 7 ppm/°C max VREF–VBIAS tracking, ±20 mA output current capability, and 10 mV dropout-enabling high-precision ADC biasing in battery management systems and motor control.
For engineers reviewing the REF2025QDDCRQ1 datasheet, REF2025QDDCRQ1 pinout, REF2025QDDCRQ1 application, or REF2025QDDCRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT23-5 package details, automotive-grade thermal and ESD performance data, and real-world functional safety design support-not generic timing or power references.
Technical Context
The REF2025QDDCRQ1 implements a band-gap core with e-Trim™ package-level calibration to achieve simultaneous high initial accuracy and low drift on both outputs. Its dual-buffer architecture derives VBIAS = VREF / 2 from the same reference node, enabling tight 7 ppm/°C tracking across temperature.
It operates in active mode (EN ≥ VIN – 0.7 V) with 360 µA quiescent current and enters shutdown (≤5 µA) when EN is low. The device supports bidirectional ±20 mA loading on both outputs while maintaining 3 ppm/V line regulation and 8 ppm/mA load regulation-critical for stable ADC reference and biasing under varying supply and load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF Output | 2.5 V ±0.05% - provides primary ADC reference voltage with guaranteed accuracy at power-up |
| VBIAS Output | 1.25 V ±0.05% - exact half of VREF, used to bias bipolar analog inputs in single-supply ADC systems |
| Temp Drift (VREF/VBIAS) | ±8 ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures < ±0.01% total error over full automotive ambient range |
| VREF–VBIAS Tracking | ±7 ppm/°C max - guarantees matched thermal behavior, preserving mid-scale bias point accuracy |
| Output Current | ±20 mA per output - supports direct driving of ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks without external buffers |
| Dropout Voltage | 10 mV at 20 mA - enables operation from supplies as low as 2.51 V, critical for low-voltage battery monitoring |
| Quiescent Current | 360 µA typical - minimizes system standby power in always-on telematics and gateway modules |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 (DDC) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic case with exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VBIAS | Output | Provides 1.25 V reference voltage (VREF / 2); sinks/sources ±20 mA; matches VREF drift within 7 ppm/°C |
| 2 - GND | Reference | Analog ground return for both outputs; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 - EN | Digital Input | Active-high enable: device enabled when EN ≥ VIN – 0.7 V; pulls outputs to high-Z and reduces ICC to ≤5 µA when low |
| 4 - VIN | Power Input | Supply input (2.52 V min to 5.5 V max); powers internal band-gap and buffers; dropout only 10 mV at full load |
| 5 - VREF | Output | Primary 2.5 V reference output; identical accuracy, drift, and regulation specs as VBIAS; drives ADC REF+ pins directly |
Key Features

| e-Trim™ calibration | Package-level trimming after molding corrects for die stress and transistor mismatch - achieves ±0.05% initial accuracy and 8 ppm/°C drift |
| Dual-output tracking architecture | VBIAS derived from same band-gap node as VREF via precision resistor divider - enables 7 ppm/°C matching without external components |
| Low-noise, high-stability outputs | 12 ppmPP (0.1–10 Hz), 0.25 ppm/√Hz noise density, and 25 ppm long-term stability (1000 hrs) - suitable for 16-bit+ precision systems |
| Robust load regulation | 8 ppm/mA sourcing/sinking - maintains voltage accuracy despite dynamic ADC input current transients up to ±20 mA |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF2030QDDCRQ1 | VREF = 3.0 V, VBIAS = 1.5 V; otherwise identical specs (drift, accuracy, package, EN function) | Requires redesign of ADC reference input network and biasing resistors for 3 V full-scale systems | Select when system uses 3 V ADCs or higher headroom is needed for rail-to-rail input stages |
| ADR4525BRZ-R7 | Single-output 2.5 V reference only; no VBIAS; ±0.02% initial accuracy; 3 ppm/°C drift; SOIC-8 package | Requires external resistor divider and buffer to generate VBIAS, increasing board area, cost, and thermal drift error | Choose only if ultra-low drift (<3 ppm/°C) is mandatory and space/cost allow discrete VBIAS generation |
Compared with REF2030QDDCRQ1, REF2025QDDCRQ1 enables direct compatibility with 2.5 V ADCs without level-shifting; compared with ADR4525BRZ-R7, it eliminates external components and matching errors required to replicate VBIAS functionality-reducing BOM count and improving thermal tracking.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the REF2025QDDCRQ1?
The REF2025QDDCRQ1 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 with an ambient operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Its junction temperature must not exceed 150°C under any condition, and thermal design must account for its 193.6°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance in the SOT23-5 package.
Does the REF2025QDDCRQ1 require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the REF2025QDDCRQ1 is internally compensated and stable with output capacitors from 0 µF to 10 µF. Unlike many references, it does not require a minimum external capacitor-enabling direct connection to ADC reference inputs without added components or layout constraints.
How does the EN pin function on the REF2025QDDCRQ1?
The EN pin is an active-high digital input: the REF2025QDDCRQ1 operates normally when EN ≥ VIN – 0.7 V, and enters shutdown mode (ICC ≤ 5 µA, outputs high-Z) when EN is pulled below 0.7 V. No external pull-up is required, but logic-level compatibility with host MCU GPIO must be verified.
Can the REF2025QDDCRQ1 drive both VREF and VBIAS loads simultaneously at full current?
Yes-the REF2025QDDCRQ1 supports ±20 mA on each output independently. Both VREF and VBIAS can source or sink their full rated current simultaneously without degrading accuracy, drift, or regulation, as confirmed in Section 7.5 Electrical Characteristics of the datasheet.
Is functional safety documentation available for the REF2025QDDCRQ1?
Yes, Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation-including FMEDA reports and safety manuals-for the REF2025QDDCRQ1 to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level development. This documentation is accessible via TI's official product folder and requires registration on ti.com.
