Product details
Overview
REF3430QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) precision CMOS voltage reference delivering 3.0 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 6 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 95 μA max quiescent current, and 3.8 µVPP/V low-frequency noise - used in high-resolution ADC biasing for automotive battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the REF3430QDBVRQ1 datasheet, REF3430QDBVRQ1 pinout, REF3430QDBVRQ1 application, or REF3430QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT-23-6 pin mapping, automotive-grade thermal hysteresis data, and real-world load regulation performance across −40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The REF3430QDBVRQ1 implements a precision bandgap core with dual-output force/sense architecture (OUT_F/OUT_S) and integrated enable-controlled shutdown mode. Its 6 ppm/°C drift is characterized using the box method over −40°C to +125°C, and its 3.8 µVPP/V (0.1–10 Hz) noise enables <20-bit ADC performance without external filtering.
It operates from 3.05 V to 12 V input (50 mV dropout at 0 mA), sustains ±10 mA output current, and achieves 25 ppm/1000 hrs long-term stability in the DBV package. Thermal hysteresis is specified at 30 ppm (Cycle 1) and 10 ppm (Cycle 2) for the SOT-23-6 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V nominal - precisely sets ADC reference rail for 3.0 V–system signal chains. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% max - ensures ≤1.5 mV absolute error at 25°C, critical for calibration-critical BMS sensors. |
| Temp Coefficient | 6 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±0.72 mV over full −40°C to +125°C range. |
| Quiescent Current | 95 μA max - enables multi-year operation in always-on automotive modules powered by 12 V battery. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 3.8 µVPP/V - supports 19.5+ ENOB in 20-bit SAR ADCs like ADS7951-Q1 without post-filtering. |
| Shutdown Current | 3 μA max - reduces system standby power when paired with MCU GPIO control of EN pin. |
| Load Current | ±10 mA - drives multiple ADC reference inputs or op-amp buffers without external gain stage. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, rated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND_F | Force ground | Low-impedance return path for output current; connects directly to PCB ground plane under device. |
| GND_S | Sense ground | High-impedance reference for internal feedback; routed separately to minimize IR drop errors. |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control: ≥1.6 V enables output; ≤0.5 V places REF3430QDBVRQ1 in 3 μA shutdown. |
| OUT_F | Force output | Main reference output terminal; delivers ±10 mA while maintaining regulation under load. |
| IN | Power input | Accepts 3.05 V to 12 V supply; 50 mV dropout at zero load enables use with low-headroom LDOs. |
| OUT_S | Sense output | Feedback-sense node; connects to high-impedance ADC VREF+ or instrumentation amplifier reference input. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-output force/sense topology | Separates high-current output (OUT_F) from precision sense (OUT_S), eliminating trace IR drop errors in noisy automotive PCBs. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C operation, HBM ±2500 V, CDM ±1500 V - meets functional safety requirements for ASIL-B systems. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 30 ppm (Cycle 1) / 10 ppm (Cycle 2) - ensures repeatable reference voltage after thermal cycling in engine bay environments. |
| Stable capacitive loading | Operates with 0.1–10 µF output capacitance - compatible with standard ceramic decoupling without oscillation risk. |
| Low solder heat shift | <±0.01% typical post-reflow shift - maintains initial accuracy after single Pb-free reflow, critical for automotive production yield. |
Applications
| Body Control Module | On-Board Charger |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3430QDGKRQ1 | Same 3.0 V output, ±0.05% accuracy, and 6 ppm/°C drift, but in 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package with different pinout and higher RθJA (174.1°C/W). | Requires PCB redesign due to larger 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm footprint and 8-pin layout; better thermal hysteresis (20 ppm Cycle 1). | Select DGK only if board space permits and lower thermal hysteresis outweighs SMT placement complexity. |
| LM4132QMFE-3.0/NOPB | 3.0 V output, ±0.04% initial accuracy, but 20 ppm/°C max drift and no enable pin; 100 μA quiescent current. | Lacks shutdown mode and automotive temp range - not qualified to AEC-Q100; limited to cabin electronics. | Use only in non-safety-critical, lower-temp applications where ultra-low initial error is prioritized over drift and power control. |
Compared with REF3430QDGKRQ1, REF3430QDBVRQ1 offers smaller footprint and lower thermal resistance, while LM4132QMFE-3.0/NOPB trades AEC-Q100 compliance and enable functionality for marginally better initial accuracy - making REF3430QDBVRQ1 optimal for space-constrained, safety-certified automotive power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF3430QDBVRQ1?
The REF3430QDBVRQ1 supports a maximum input voltage of 12 V, with absolute maximum rating up to 13 V. Operation above 12 V is not recommended, as it exceeds the recommended operating condition and may impact long-term reliability or thermal performance in the SOT-23-6 package. The device maintains regulation down to VOUT + 50 mV dropout at zero load.
Does REF3430QDBVRQ1 support shutdown mode, and how is it controlled?
Yes, REF3430QDBVRQ1 supports shutdown mode via its dedicated EN pin. Pulling EN ≤0.5 V disables the output and reduces quiescent current to ≤3 μA. Pulling EN ≥1.6 V enables normal operation. The EN pin must not exceed the IN supply voltage, and no external pull-up is required - internal circuitry ensures clean transition between states.
What is the output noise specification of REF3430QDBVRQ1, and how does it affect ADC performance?
REF3430QDBVRQ1 specifies 3.8 µVPP/V (0.1–10 Hz) low-frequency noise and 24 µVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz). This enables ≥19.5 ENOB in 20-bit SAR ADCs such as ADS7951-Q1 without additional filtering. The noise value is measured per volt of output, so at 3.0 V output, total peak-to-peak noise is ~11.4 µVPP, directly limiting effective resolution in precision measurement paths.
Is REF3430QDBVRQ1 qualified for automotive applications, and what AEC-Q100 grade does it meet?
Yes, REF3430QDBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. It meets Grade 1 specifications: ambient operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C, HBM ESD classification Level 2 (±2500 V), and CDM ESD classification Level C6 (±1500 V). These qualifications are verified per TI's production test flow and documented in the SBAS901C datasheet revision history.
How does the force/sense architecture of REF3430QDBVRQ1 improve accuracy in high-current applications?
The REF3430QDBVRQ1 uses separate OUT_F (force) and OUT_S (sense) pins to isolate the high-current output path from the precision feedback loop. This eliminates voltage drop errors caused by PCB trace resistance under ±10 mA load, ensuring the internal regulator maintains exact 3.0 V at the sense node - critical for metrology-grade measurements in battery monitoring and motor control circuits.
