Product details
Overview
REF3425SQDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, low-drift (6 ppm/°C max), low-power (95 µA max) precision CMOS voltage reference delivering 2.5 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy and ±10 mA output current capability. It operates from −40°C to +125°C and features enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA max), making it suitable for high-accuracy battery-powered automotive sensor signal chains and BMS front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the REF3425SQDBVRQ1 datasheet, REF3425SQDBVRQ1 pinout, REF3425SQDBVRQ1 application, or REF3425SQDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.8 µVPP/V low-frequency noise, 25 ppm/1000 hrs long-term stability, force-sense output architecture, and SOT-23-6 automotive-grade packaging with validated thermal hysteresis performance.
Technical Context
The REF3425SQDBVRQ1 implements a precision bandgap core with buffered force-sense output topology, separating output drive (OUT_F) and sensing (OUT_S) paths to minimize load-induced errors. Its enable pin controls active/shutdown modes with defined logic thresholds (EN ≥1.6 V for active, ≤0.5 V for shutdown).
It uses a box-method temperature coefficient specification (6 ppm/°C max over −40°C to +125°C), achieves 0.1 Hz–10 Hz noise of 3.8 µVPP/V, and maintains <30 ppm thermal hysteresis after first temperature cycle in the DBV package - critical for repeatable calibration in ADAS and traction inverter monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal; enables precise scaling for 12-bit+ ADCs like ADS7828-Q1 in automotive data acquisition. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% max at 25°C; reduces system calibration burden in body control modules and on-board chargers. |
| Temp Coefficient | 6 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C); ensures <±0.75 mV drift across full automotive ambient range. |
| Quiescent Current | 95 µA max active / 3 µA max shutdown; extends battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 3.8 µVPP/V; preserves SNR in high-resolution converters used in battery cell voltage monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3425QDBVRQ1 | Same 2.5 V output, ±0.05% accuracy, and 6 ppm/°C drift, but lacks ENABLE pin and force-sense architecture (single OUT pin). | Not suitable for high-accuracy load-regulated systems requiring OUT_F/OUT_S separation or dynamic power gating. | Select REF3425SQDBVRQ1 when force-sense topology or shutdown control is required; choose REF3425QDBVRQ1 only for cost-sensitive, static-bias applications. |
| MAX6025AEUR+T | 2.5 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 15 ppm/°C drift, no enable pin, SOT-23-5 package, not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Limited to industrial or non-safety-critical automotive sub-systems due to lack of automotive qualification and higher drift. | Use MAX6025AEUR+T only in non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 compliance and <6 ppm/°C drift are not mandatory. |
Compared with REF3425QDBVRQ1 and MAX6025AEUR+T, REF3425SQDBVRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, force-sense output, enable control, and 6 ppm/°C drift - making it the only option for ASIL-B–compliant BMS and traction inverter reference design.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF3425SQDBVRQ1?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF3425SQDBVRQ1 is 13 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 12 V per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table. Exceeding 12 V may increase power dissipation and thermal stress, especially at high ambient temperatures or load currents. The device maintains specified performance up to 12 V across its full −40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does REF3425SQDBVRQ1 support force-sense configuration?
Yes, REF3425SQDBVRQ1 explicitly supports force-sense configuration via dedicated OUT_F (force) and OUT_S (sense) pins, along with separate GND_F and GND_S connections. This architecture isolates the high-current output path from the precision voltage sensing path, eliminating errors caused by PCB trace resistance and ensuring stable 2.5 V reference accuracy under varying load conditions.
What is the thermal hysteresis performance of REF3425SQDBVRQ1?
REF3425SQDBVRQ1 in the DBV (SOT-23-6) package exhibits ≤30 ppm thermal hysteresis after the first −40°C → +125°C → 25°C temperature cycle, and ≤10 ppm after the second cycle. This is measured per JEDEC JESD22-A103 and documented in Section 7.5 of the SBAS901C datasheet - critical for repeatable calibration in automotive ADAS and BMS applications.
Is REF3425SQDBVRQ1 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, REF3425SQDBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient), with HBM ESD rating of ±2500 V and CDM rating of ±1500 V. It is explicitly designated for automotive applications including body control modules, on-board chargers, traction inverters, and battery management systems - meeting functional safety requirements for ASIL-B–level subsystems.
What is the typical 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise of REF3425SQDBVRQ1?
The typical 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz output voltage noise of REF3425SQDBVRQ1 is 3.8 µVPP/V, as specified in Section 7.5 of the SBAS901C datasheet. This low noise level supports high-resolution data acquisition in automotive systems such as battery cell voltage monitoring and motor current sensing, where sub-µV noise is essential for maintaining effective resolution.
