Product details
Overview
REF3433SQDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) precision CMOS voltage reference delivering 3.3 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 as a stable reference for high-resolution ADCs in automotive battery management and ADAS sensor signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the REF3433SQDBVRQ1 datasheet, REF3433SQDBVRQ1 pinout, REF3433SQDBVRQ1 application, or REF3433SQDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's SBAS901C production data sheet.
Technical Context
The REF3433SQDBVRQ1 implements a precision bandgap core with dual-output force/sense architecture (OUT_F/OUT_S) and dedicated ground sense (GND_S) to minimize PCB trace resistance errors. Its enable-controlled shutdown mode reduces current to ≤3 μA while maintaining high-impedance output.
It operates across 3.35 V to 12 V input range with 50 mV typical dropout at zero load, supports ±10 mA sourcing/sinking, and achieves 25 ppm/1000 hrs long-term stability in its SOT-23-6 (DBV) package - meeting stringent requirements for automotive body control modules and traction inverter feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal - precisely sets full-scale reference for 12–16-bit automotive ADCs like ADS7828-Q1. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% max - enables <1 LSB error in 16-bit systems without calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | 6 ppm/°C max - ensures <±0.8 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C ambient. |
| Quiescent Current | 95 μA max - allows continuous operation in always-on vehicle subsystems with minimal battery drain. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 3.8 µVPP/V - maintains SNR >100 dB for precision current sensing in BMS shunt monitors. |
| Load Current | ±10 mA - drives multiple ADC reference inputs or op-amp bias networks without external buffering. |
| Shutdown Current | 3 μA max - supports deep-sleep modes in ADAS ECUs during vehicle ignition-off states. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND_F | Ground force | Primary return path for output current - connects directly to power ground plane under device. |
| GND_S | Ground sense | High-impedance sense node for Kelvin ground measurement - minimizes voltage drop error from PCB trace resistance. |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control: ≥1.6 V enables reference; ≤0.5 V places device in 3 μA shutdown mode. |
| OUT_F | Output force | Main reference output - delivers regulated 3.3 V to load; requires local decoupling capacitor. |
| IN | Input supply | Accepts 3.35 V to 12 V - supports direct connection to 5 V or 12 V automotive rails with 50 mV dropout. |
| OUT_S | Output sense | Feedback node for internal amplifier - connects to high-impedance ADC VREF+ input to reject trace IR drop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation, HBM ±2500 V, CDM ±1500 V - suitable for under-hood and powertrain applications. |
| Dual-output force/sense topology | Separates high-current OUT_F and precision-sense OUT_S/GND_S paths - eliminates PCB trace resistance impact on reference accuracy. |
| Low 1/f noise | 3.8 µVPP/V (0.1–10 Hz) - preserves dynamic range in slow-sampling battery cell voltage monitoring. |
| Thermal hysteresis control | 30 ppm max (Cycle 1), 10 ppm max (Cycle 2) - ensures repeatable voltage after thermal cycling in ADAS camera modules. |

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 DBV package, but lacks EN pin - fixed-enable only; no shutdown capability. | Not suitable for systems requiring low-power sleep modes; higher standby current (95 μA vs 3 μA). | Select REF3433SQDBVRQ1 when enable-controlled power gating is required for ASIL-B compliant ECU sleep states. |
| MAX6070AASA+T | 3.3 V, ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C drift, but only −40°C to +105°C rating and no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Limited to cabin electronics; not approved for powertrain or chassis control modules per ISO 26262. | Choose REF3433SQDBVRQ1 for under-hood or safety-critical automotive applications requiring Grade 1 temperature range and AEC-Q100 certification. |
Compared with REF3433QDBVRQ1 and MAX6070AASA+T, REF3433SQDBVRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, enable-controlled shutdown, and force/sense outputs - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B BMS and ADAS reference design requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF3433SQDBVRQ1?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF3433SQDBVRQ1 is 13 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 12 V per TI's SBAS901C datasheet. Exceeding 12 V risks violating the 50–100 mV dropout specification and may increase thermal stress - especially at high ambient temperatures where junction temperature must remain below 150°C.
Does REF3433SQDBVRQ1 support force-sense configuration?
Yes, REF3433SQDBVRQ1 supports true force-sense operation via dedicated OUT_F/OUT_S and GND_F/GND_S pins. This 6-pin SOT-23 layout enables Kelvin sensing to eliminate voltage drop errors from PCB traces - a key differentiator versus standard 3-pin references and essential for <±0.01% system-level accuracy in BMS applications.
What is the typical turn-on time of REF3433SQDBVRQ1?
The typical turn-on time for REF3433SQDBVRQ1 is 2.5 ms (measured to 0.1% of final output settling with CL = 10 µF), as specified in Section 7.5 of the SBAS901C datasheet. This value applies to the REF3425–Q1 variant; REF3433SQDBVRQ1 exhibits comparable behavior due to identical internal architecture and output capacitance dependency.
Is REF3433SQDBVRQ1 qualified for automotive safety standards?
Yes, REF3433SQDBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: −40°C to +125°C ambient), with HBM ±2500 V and CDM ±1500 V ESD ratings. It meets foundational requirements for ASIL-B systems per ISO 26262, though final safety case validation remains the responsibility of the system integrator per TI's application note guidance.
Can REF3433SQDBVRQ1 drive a 10 µF output capacitor?
Yes, REF3433SQDBVRQ1 is explicitly characterized for stable operation with output capacitance from 0.1 µF to 10 µF, including ceramic and tantalum types. The 10 µF value is used in TI's typical performance curves (e.g., turn-on time, load transient) and ensures optimal noise filtering and transient response in automotive ADC reference designs.
