Product details
Overview
REF3433QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified precision voltage reference delivering 3.3 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 6 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and ±10 mA output current capability. It operates from −40°C to +125°C and supports battery-powered automotive systems requiring stable low-noise bias for high-resolution ADCs.
For engineers reviewing the REF3433QDBVRQ1 datasheet, REF3433QDBVRQ1 pinout, REF3433QDBVRQ1 application, or REF3433QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated SOT-23-6 pin functions, automotive-grade reliability data, and real-world implementation context for body control modules, traction inverters, and BMS designs.
Technical Context
The REF3433QDBVRQ1 implements a precision CMOS bandgap core with dual-output force-sense architecture (OUT_F/OUT_S) to minimize load-induced errors and improve regulation. Its enable-controlled shutdown mode reduces quiescent current to ≤3 μA while maintaining high-impedance output.
It achieves 3.8 µVPP/V (0.1 Hz–10 Hz) low-frequency noise and 24 µVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz), enabling direct interface with 16-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADCs without external filtering. Thermal hysteresis is specified at ≤30 ppm (Cycle 1, DBV package) across −40°C to +125°C cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal - precisely sets ADC reference rail or sensor excitation level in automotive signal chains. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% max - ensures <±1.65 mV absolute error at 25°C, critical for calibration-critical BMS cell monitoring. |
| Temp Coefficient | 6 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤0.83 mV drift over full −40°C to +125°C range, supporting ASIL-B timing integrity. |
| Quiescent Current | 95 μA max - enables >10-year battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems with minimal standby drain. |
| Output Current | ±10 mA - drives multiple ADC references or op-amp bias networks without external buffering. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 3.8 µVPP/V - limits quantization noise floor to <1 LSB for 16-bit 3.3 V full-scale converters. |
| Shutdown Current | 3 μA max - allows system-level power gating during sleep modes without compromising wake-up latency. |
Pinout & Package
REF3433QDBVRQ1 is packaged in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) with 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND_F | Force ground | Low-impedance return path for output current; connects directly to power ground plane to minimize IR drop. |
| GND_S | Sense ground | High-impedance reference point for internal feedback; routed separately to avoid noise coupling into regulation loop. |
| EN | Digital enable input | Active-high logic control (1.6 V min) - toggles between 95 μA active and 3 μA shutdown modes. |
| OUT_F | Force output | Delivers regulated 3.3 V to load; designed for high-current sourcing/sinking with Kelvin connection capability. |
| IN | Input supply | Accepts 3.35 V to 12 V input; dropout voltage ≤100 mV at zero load ensures operation with low-headroom supplies. |
| OUT_S | Sense output | Feedback node for internal amplifier - connects to high-impedance ADC reference input or precision op-amp non-inverting terminal. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3433QDGKRQ1 | Same electrical specs; uses 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package with larger 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm footprint and different pinout (includes NIC pins). | Better thermal performance (RθJA = 174.1°C/W vs. 122.6°C/W) but requires PCB redesign; suited for thermally constrained high-power modules. | Select REF3433QDGKRQ1 only when board layout allows larger package and enhanced thermal dissipation is required. |
| LM4132AQME-3.3/NOPB | 3.3 V output, ±0.04% initial accuracy, but higher 10 ppm/°C tempco and no enable pin; consumes 120 μA typical quiescent current. | Lacks shutdown mode - unsuitable for battery-powered always-on nodes; used in legacy industrial sensors where enable control is unnecessary. | Choose LM4132AQME-3.3/NOPB only for cost-sensitive, non-shutdown applications where 10 ppm/°C drift is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF3433QDBVRQ1?
The REF3433QDBVRQ1 supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 13 V, with recommended operation up to 12 V. Its dropout voltage remains ≤100 mV at zero load, allowing reliable function even with marginal supply headroom in 12 V automotive systems. Exceeding 13 V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings.
Does REF3433QDBVRQ1 support bidirectional output current?
Yes, REF3433QDBVRQ1 provides ±10 mA output current capability - sourcing up to +10 mA and sinking up to –10 mA. This enables direct drive of both high-side and low-side sensor bias networks, op-amp reference inputs, and ADC reference pins without external buffers, confirmed in Section 7.5 Electrical Characteristics.
How does the force-sense architecture in REF3433QDBVRQ1 improve accuracy?
The REF3433QDBVRQ1 uses separate OUT_F (force) and OUT_S (sense) pins to decouple load current path from regulation feedback. This eliminates IR drop errors caused by PCB trace resistance, ensuring the internal amplifier regulates precisely to 3.3 V at the sense node - critical for maintaining ±0.05% accuracy under varying load conditions.
What is the typical turn-on time for REF3433QDBVRQ1 after enabling?
The REF3433QDBVRQ1 achieves 0.1% output voltage settling in 2.5 ms (typical) when CL = 10 µF, as measured from EN rising edge to VOUT stabilization. This fast wake-up supports responsive power management in automotive subsystems entering active mode from deep sleep states.
Is REF3433QDBVRQ1 compatible with standard SOT-23 reflow profiles?
Yes, REF3433QDBVRQ1 (DBV package) is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles, with solder heat shift typically <±0.01% post-reflow. TI characterizes thermal stress effects per JEDEC J-STD-020, and Figure 8-21 confirms distribution remains tightly bounded - enabling use in automated automotive PCB assembly lines.
