Product details
Overview
REF2033AIDDCT from Texas Instruments is a dual-output, low-drift, low-power voltage reference IC providing precise 3.3 V (VREF) and 1.65 V (VBIAS = VREF/2) outputs in a single SOT-23-5 package. It delivers ±0.05% initial accuracy, 8 ppm/°C max temperature drift over –40°C to 125°C, and ±20 mA output current capability - enabling high-precision biasing of bipolar ADC inputs in single-supply industrial measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the REF2033AIDDCT datasheet, REF2033AIDDCT pinout, REF2033AIDDCT application, or REF2033AIDDCT equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed dual-output tracking behavior, real-world load/line regulation performance, and qualified alternative options for precision analog signal chains requiring stable mid-rail biasing and reference voltages.
Technical Context
The REF2033AIDDCT implements a band-gap core with e-Trim™ post-mold calibration to achieve tight initial accuracy and low temperature drift on both outputs. Its architecture uses two independent buffers - one for VREF and one for VBIAS - driven from a common trimmed band-gap voltage source, ensuring matched thermal behavior.
VREF and VBIAS track within ±6 ppm/°C (–40°C to 85°C) and ±7 ppm/°C (–40°C to 125°C), while maintaining identical electrical specs: ±0.05% accuracy, 3 ppm/V line regulation, 8 ppm/mA load regulation, and 10 mV dropout at 20 mA - all critical for minimizing differential error in ratiometric ADC systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF Output | 3.3 V ±0.05% - enables direct use as ADC reference without external scaling in 3.3-V systems |
| VBIAS Output | 1.65 V (VREF/2) ±0.05% - provides exact mid-rail bias for bipolar input stages without resistor dividers |
| Temp Drift (VREF/VBIAS) | ≤8 ppm/°C (–40°C to 125°C) - ensures <±0.01% total drift across full industrial range |
| Output Current | ±20 mA - supports driving ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and small DAC loads directly |
| Dropout Voltage | 10 mV at 20 mA - allows operation from VIN ≥ 3.31 V, ideal for battery-powered or low-headroom supplies |
| Quiescent Current | 360 µA - enables ultra-low-power precision reference in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Enable Function | EN pin controls active/shutdown mode; active when EN ≥ VIN – 0.7 V - supports power sequencing and system-level sleep control |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DDC) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, matte-tin (Sn) termination, surface-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VBIAS | Output | Provides 1.65 V reference/bias voltage with same accuracy and drift as VREF; sinks/sources ±20 mA |
| 2 - GND | Ground | Analog ground return for both outputs; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 - EN | Input | Enable control: device active when voltage ≥ VIN – 0.7 V; shutdown draws ≤5 µA |
| 4 - VIN | Input | Supply input: operates from VREF + 0.02 V (≥3.32 V) to 5.5 V; supports low-dropout operation |
| 5 - VREF | Output | Primary 3.3 V reference output; identical specs to VBIAS, including tracking and regulation performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual matched outputs | VREF = 3.3 V and VBIAS = 1.65 V with ≤7 ppm/°C tracking - eliminates need for external resistor divider and associated matching errors |
| e-Trim™ calibration | Post-mold trimming of both outputs ensures ±0.05% initial accuracy and low drift without laser trimming cost or yield loss |
| Low-noise performance | 12 ppmPP (0.1–10 Hz), 0.25 ppm/√Hz noise density - preserves SNR in high-resolution (≥16-bit) data acquisition systems |
| Stable capacitive loading | Operates with 0–10 µF output capacitance - simplifies layout and supports ceramic decoupling without oscillation risk |
| Robust supply rejection | ≥80 dB PSRR at 100 Hz (CL = 10 µF) - maintains output stability despite noisy or unregulated input rails |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF2030AIDDCT | 3.0 V / 1.5 V outputs; otherwise identical specs, pinout, and performance | Used where system ADC requires 3.0 V reference (e.g., 3.0 V microcontroller interfaces) | Select when 3.0 V reference compatibility outweighs 3.3 V requirement; no PCB changes needed |
| ADR4533BRZ | Single-output 3.3 V reference only; higher initial accuracy (±0.02%), lower drift (3 ppm/°C), but no VBIAS output | Requires external precision resistor network to generate 1.65 V, increasing board area and thermal mismatch risk | Choose when ultimate drift performance is prioritized and space exists for discrete bias generation |
Compared with REF2030AIDDCT, the REF2033AIDDCT offers higher reference voltage for improved noise immunity in 3.3-V systems; compared with ADR4533BRZ, it integrates VBIAS generation to reduce component count, layout complexity, and thermal tracking error - making it optimal for compact, high-channel-count industrial DAQ modules.

FAQ
What is the output voltage specification of the REF2033AIDDCT?
The REF2033AIDDCT provides two precisely matched outputs: VREF = 3.3 V ±0.05% and VBIAS = 1.65 V (exactly VREF/2) ±0.05%, both specified over –40°C to 125°C with ≤8 ppm/°C maximum temperature drift. These outputs share identical electrical characteristics including line/load regulation, noise, and output current capability - confirmed in TI's SBOS600E datasheet Section 7.5.
Does the REF2033AIDDCT require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the REF2033AIDDCT is internally compensated and remains stable with output capacitance from 0 µF to 10 µF, as verified in Section 7.5 of the datasheet. This allows direct use of standard 100-nF ceramic decoupling capacitors without risk of oscillation - eliminating the need for external compensation networks required by many older reference designs.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on the REF2033AIDDCT?
The EN pin on the REF2033AIDDCT controls active/shutdown mode: the device operates normally when EN voltage is ≥ VIN – 0.7 V; it enters shutdown drawing ≤5 µA when EN < 0.7 V. This threshold-based logic simplifies interface with standard GPIOs and supports robust power sequencing in multi-rail systems - detailed in Pin Functions Table (Section 6) of the SBOS600E datasheet.
Can the REF2033AIDDCT drive a 20-mA load on both outputs simultaneously?
Yes - each output (VREF and VBIAS) independently sources or sinks up to ±20 mA, as specified in Section 7.5 Electrical Characteristics. The device maintains regulation and accuracy under full load, with dropout voltage remaining ≤20 mV at 20 mA (typical 10 mV), enabling reliable operation even with marginal input headroom in battery-powered equipment.
What is the long-term stability performance of the REF2033AIDDCT?
The REF2033AIDDCT exhibits ≤25 ppm long-term stability over 1000 hours at 35°C, measured per JEDEC JESD22-A117 methodology (Section 8.2). This value reflects real-world soldered-board aging behavior and supports extended calibration intervals in field-deployed instrumentation - a key differentiator versus references lacking validated 1000-hour stability data.
