Product details
Overview
REF3430MDBVTEP from Texas Instruments is a precision 3.0 V CMOS voltage reference IC with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and ±10 mA output drive capability-designed for high-resolution data acquisition in defense-grade instrumentation and industrial PLC analog I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the REF3430MDBVTEP datasheet, REF3430MDBVTEP pinout, REF3430MDBVTEP application, or REF3430MDBVTEP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, force/sense Kelvin architecture details, low-noise (3.8 µVPP/V, 0.1–10 Hz) performance, and EP-grade reliability across –55°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The REF3430MDBVTEP implements a bandgap core with buffered dual-output force/sense architecture-enabling 4-wire Kelvin connections to eliminate PCB trace IR drop errors. Its enable-controlled shutdown mode reduces quiescent current to ≤2.5 µA while maintaining high-impedance outputs.
It operates with ultra-low dropout (50 mV typ. at 0 mA, 500 mV max at 10 mA, –55°C to +125°C) and wide input range (up to 12 V), supporting stable regulation even under marginal supply conditions in battery-backed or field-transmitter systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V ±0.05% - enables direct interface with 16-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADCs (e.g., ADS1287) without calibration. |
| Tempco | ≤10 ppm/°C - ensures ≤±0.3 mV drift over –55°C to +125°C, critical for unattended field transmitters. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 3.8 µVPP/V - supports <19-bit ENOB in precision metrology when paired with low-noise amplifiers. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤95 µA active / ≤2.5 µA shutdown - extends battery life in portable test equipment and remote sensors. |
| Load Drive | ±10 mA - sustains full accuracy while driving ADC reference inputs, DAC buffers, and multiplexed sensor excitation circuits. |
| Dropout Voltage | 50 mV (0 mA, 25°C); 500 mV (10 mA, –55°C to +125°C) - allows operation from low-headroom supplies like 3.3 V LDOs or aging batteries. |
| Long-Term Stability | 25 ppm/1000 hrs - reduces recalibration frequency in medical and aerospace monitoring systems. |
Pinout & Package
REF3430MDBVTEP is housed in a space-constrained 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in military and medical electronics where thermal and mechanical robustness are required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND_F | Force ground | Low-impedance return path for output current; connects directly to power ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2 - GND_S | Sense ground | High-impedance Kelvin sense node; ties to ADC/DAC ground reference point to reject trace resistance error. |
| 3 - ENABLE | Digital control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.6 V enables regulation; ≤0.5 V disables output and cuts IQ to ≤2.5 µA. |
| 4 - IN | Supply input | Accepts 3.05 V to 12 V; internal LDO-like regulation ensures stable 3.0 V output despite input ripple or sag. |
| 5 - OUT_S | Sense output | High-Z feedback node; connects to load's reference input to close regulation loop without trace IR loss. |
| 6 - OUT_F | Force output | Current-driven output terminal; delivers ±10 mA while OUT_S monitors true load voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-wire Kelvin architecture | Eliminates up to 1 mV error from 100 mΩ PCB trace resistance at 10 mA load-critical for <0.01% system accuracy. |
| Ultra-low 1/f noise | 3.8 µVPP/V (0.1–10 Hz) enables sub-µV offset stability in weigh scales and strain-gauge bridges. |
| Extended temperature range | Specified from –55°C to +125°C with controlled baseline and single-fab traceability-meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class K requirements. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces system standby power by >97% versus always-on references-essential for energy-harvesting field devices. |
| Low long-term drift | 25 ppm/1000 hrs supports 10-year calibration intervals in deployed infrastructure monitoring systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3430ARJZ-REEL7 | Same 3.0 V output, but higher 20 ppm/°C max tempco and 12 µVPP noise (0.1–10 Hz); no enable pin. | Lacks shutdown mode and Kelvin sensing-suitable only for fixed-power, non-Kelvin PCB layouts. | Select ADR3430 if cost sensitivity outweighs noise/tempco requirements and enable control is unnecessary. |
| MAX6070AESA+ | 3.0 V output, 15 ppm/°C tempco, 8 µVPP noise; includes enable but no force/sense pins-3-terminal architecture. | Cannot compensate for PCB trace resistance; limited to ≤16-bit accuracy in high-precision systems. | Choose MAX6070AESA+ only for legacy designs already using 3-terminal references and where layout cannot accommodate 6-pin routing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF3430MDBVTEP?
The REF3430MDBVTEP supports an input voltage range of VREF + VDO (minimum) up to 12 V. At 25°C and zero load, dropout is 50 mV, so minimum input is 3.05 V; absolute maximum input is 13 V per absolute ratings. Operation above 12 V risks permanent damage.
Does REF3430MDBVTEP support 4-wire Kelvin connections?
Yes-REF3430MDBVTEP features dedicated force (OUT_F, GND_F) and sense (OUT_S, GND_S) terminals. This architecture allows separation of high-current paths from precision voltage sensing, eliminating IR drop errors in long-trace or high-current applications.
What is the typical 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise performance of REF3430MDBVTEP?
The REF3430MDBVTEP delivers 3.8 µVPP (peak-to-peak) output voltage noise over 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz-verified per TI SBAS942B datasheet. This low 1/f noise enables high-resolution measurements in slow-sampling applications like precision weighing and environmental monitoring.
How does the ENABLE pin function on REF3430MDBVTEP?
The ENABLE pin on REF3430MDBVTEP controls device state: ≥1.6 V places it in active mode (95 µA max IQ); ≤0.5 V forces shutdown mode (≤2.5 µA IQ) with high-impedance outputs. The pin must not exceed VIN voltage and has ≤2 µA leakage across temperature.
Is REF3430MDBVTEP qualified for extended temperature operation?
Yes-REF3430MDBVTEP is specified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C, with full electrical characterization across that range. It also meets EP-grade requirements: controlled baseline, single fab/assembly/test site, extended product life cycle, and full traceability.
