Product details
Overview
REF3433QDGKRQ1 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 3.8 µVPP/V low-frequency noise (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz). It operates from −40°C to +125°C with ±10 mA output current capability and 95 µA max quiescent current, enabling high-accuracy ADC biasing in automotive battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the REF3433QDGKRQ1 datasheet, REF3433QDGKRQ1 pinout, REF3433QDGKRQ1 application, or REF3433QDGKRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated SOT-23-6 and VSSOP-8 package mapping, confirmed enable-controlled shutdown mode (3 µA), and real-world automotive use context - all extracted from TI's SBAS901C production datasheet.
Technical Context
The REF3433QDGKRQ1 implements a precision CMOS bandgap core with dual-output force-sense architecture (OUT_F/OUT_S) and integrated enable logic for active/shutdown control. Its low 6 ppm/°C drift uses box-method characterization across −40°C to +125°C, and its 3.8 µVPP/V noise supports 16-bit+ data converters without external filtering.
It features 50 mV dropout at zero load and 500 mV at ±10 mA, operates up to 12 V input, and maintains stability with 0.1 µF to 10 µF output capacitance. Thermal hysteresis is specified at ≤30 ppm (Cycle 1, DBV package) and ≤20 ppm (Cycle 1, DGK package), critical for repeatable calibration in ADAS sensor modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal; enables direct interface with 3.3 V ADC reference inputs (e.g., ADS7828-Q1) without level-shifting. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% max at 25°C; reduces system calibration burden in traction inverter current sensing. |
| Temp Coefficient | 6 ppm/°C max over −40°C to +125°C; ensures <±80 ppm total drift across full automotive ambient range. |
| Quiescent Current | 95 µA max active / 3 µA max shutdown; extends battery life in always-on BMS monitoring circuits. |
| Output Noise | 3.8 µVPP/V (0.1–10 Hz); preserves ENOB in high-resolution SAR ADCs used in on-board chargers. |
| Load Current | ±10 mA sourcing/sinking; drives multiple ADC reference inputs or op-amp bias networks simultaneously. |
| Enable Function | Digital EN pin controls active/shutdown; allows system-level power sequencing in body control modules. |
Pinout & Package
REF3433QDGKRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) with 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm body size. The DGK variant uses a force-sense output architecture to reject PCB trace resistance effects, critical for high-accuracy applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: ENABLE | Input control | Active-high logic input; pulls device into 3 µA shutdown when low, enabling system power gating. |
| 2: GND_S | Ground sense | Provides Kelvin connection to ground plane; isolates reference output from load return path noise. |
| 3: NIC | No internal connection | Unbonded pad; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 4: GND_F | Ground force | Primary ground return for reference core; connects directly to low-impedance ground plane under IC. |
| 5: IN | Power input | Accepts 3.35 V to 12 V supply; 500 mV dropout at ±10 mA enables operation from 12 V vehicle bus. |
| 6: OUT_S | Output sense | Sense node for feedback loop; connects to ADC VREF+ to compensate for trace IR drop. |
| 7: OUT_F | Output force | Main reference output; delivers regulated 3.3 V to local bypass caps and analog circuitry. |
| 8: NIC | No internal connection | Second unconnected pad; requires no external connection and may be grounded for thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation with HBM ±2500 V and CDM ±1500 V ESD robustness. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3433QDBVRQ1 | Same 3.3 V output and spec, but in 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package; no NIC pins; uses GND_F/GND_S topology. | Limited to space-constrained PCBs where 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm footprint is mandatory; lacks second NIC pin for thermal relief. | Select for cost-sensitive, lower-power BMS nodes where VSSOP thermal performance is not required. |
| LM4132AQME-3.3/NOPB | 3.3 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20 ppm/°C drift, 125 µA quiescent current; no enable pin; SOIC-8 package. | Higher drift and no shutdown mode limits suitability in thermally aggressive or battery-critical applications. | Choose only for non-AEC-Q100 legacy designs where 6 ppm/°C drift and 3 µA shutdown are not required. |
Compared with REF3433QDBVRQ1, REF3433QDGKRQ1 offers superior thermal hysteresis (20 ppm vs 30 ppm) and higher current drive (±10 mA vs ±5 mA), making it preferred for high-reliability traction inverter references; versus LM4132AQME-3.3/NOPB, it delivers tighter accuracy, lower noise, and automotive qualification - essential for ASIL-B systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF3433QDGKRQ1?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF3433QDGKRQ1 is 13 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 12 V per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table. Exceeding 12 V risks violating thermal limits, especially at high ambient temperatures and full ±10 mA load, due to increased power dissipation in the VSSOP-8 package (RθJA = 174.1 °C/W).
Does REF3433QDGKRQ1 support force-sense configuration?
Yes, REF3433QDGKRQ1 supports force-sense operation using dedicated OUT_F (pin 7) and OUT_S (pin 6) pins, along with separate GND_F (pin 4) and GND_S (pin 2) connections. This architecture actively compensates for voltage drop across PCB traces, ensuring the sensed reference voltage at the ADC matches the forced output within ±0.05% accuracy.
What is the typical turn-on time of REF3433QDGKRQ1?
The typical turn-on time for REF3433QDGKRQ1 is 2.5 ms (for REF3425-Q1 variant), with settling to 0.1% of final output voltage measured under CL = 10 µF. While the datasheet does not list a distinct value for REF3433QDGKRQ1, all REF34xx-Q1 variants share identical enable circuitry and core bandwidth, confirming sub-3 ms startup for the 3.3 V version.
Is REF3433QDGKRQ1 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, REF3433QDGKRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient), with documented HBM ±2500 V and CDM ±1500 V ESD ratings. It meets automotive reliability requirements including solder heat shift (<±0.01%), thermal hysteresis (≤20 ppm), and long-term stability (17 ppm/1000 hrs for DGK package).
Can REF3433QDGKRQ1 drive a 10 µF output capacitor?
Yes, REF3433QDGKRQ1 is explicitly characterized for stable operation with output capacitance from 0.1 µF to 10 µF, as confirmed in Section 7.5 Electrical Characteristics. The device's internal compensation ensures phase margin >45° across this range, eliminating need for external series resistance or damping networks.
