Product details
Overview
REF3450SQDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) precision CMOS voltage reference delivering 5.0 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 6 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 3.8 µVPP/V low-frequency noise (0.1 Hz–10 Hz), ±10 mA output current capability, and 95 µA max quiescent current - used in high-resolution ADC biasing for automotive battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the REF3450SQDBVRQ1 datasheet, REF3450SQDBVRQ1 pinout, REF3450SQDBVRQ1 application, or REF3450SQDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade thermal stability, enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), force-sense output architecture, and SOT-23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained EV powertrain modules.
Technical Context
The REF3450SQDBVRQ1 implements a precision bandgap core with buffered force-sense output topology to separate load regulation error from sensing path, enabling <70 ppm/mA sinking load regulation at 5.0 V. Its enable pin controls active/shutdown modes with 1.6 V logic-high threshold and 0.5 V logic-low threshold.
It operates across 5.05 V to 12 V input range (50 mV dropout at zero load), supports 0.1 µF–10 µF output capacitance, and achieves 25 ppm/1000 hrs long-term stability in the DBV (SOT-23-6) package - validated per AEC-Q100 with HBM ±2500 V and CDM ±1500 V ESD ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V nominal - provides stable reference for 16-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADCs in traction inverter current sensing. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% max - eliminates need for system-level calibration in BMS cell voltage monitoring. |
| Temp Coefficient | 6 ppm/°C max - ensures ≤0.75 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C ambient, critical for ASIL-B timing-critical subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 95 µA max - enables >10-year battery life in always-on vehicle wake-up circuits. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 3.8 µVPP/V - maintains SNR >108 dB for 24-bit ADCs in ADAS radar signal chains. |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max - reduces standby power in OBC pre-charge sequencing without external switches. |
| Load Current | ±10 mA - drives multiple ADC reference inputs or op-amp bias networks simultaneously. |
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 | Force ground | Low-impedance return path for output current - must connect directly to power ground plane to minimize load regulation error. |
| GND_S | Sense ground | High-impedance reference return - routed separately to ADC ground to reject PCB trace IR drop. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high digital input; pulls device into 3 µA shutdown when ≤0.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V MCU GPIO. |
| OUT_F | Force output | Delivers regulated 5.0 V to load; connects to ADC VREF+ or op-amp non-inverting input. |
| IN | Supply input | Accepts 5.05–12 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin. |
| OUT_S | Sense output | Feedback node for internal amplifier - ties to ADC VREF− or reference buffer input to close regulation loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets functional safety requirements for body control and powertrain ECUs. |
| Force-sense output architecture | Separates output drive (OUT_F/GND_F) from feedback (OUT_S/GND_S) - 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 BMS voltage acquisition (<1 kSPS). |
| Thermal hysteresis | 30 ppm max (Cycle 1, DBV) - ensures repeatable voltage after thermal cycling in under-hood environments. |
| Long-term stability | 25 ppm/1000 hrs - minimizes calibration drift in field-deployed EV chargers over 5+ year service life. |
Applications
| Body Control Module | Battery Management System |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3450QDBVRQ1 | Same 5.0 V output, ±0.05% accuracy, and 6 ppm/°C drift, but uses standard SOT-23-6 (no force-sense pins); lacks OUT_S/GND_S terminals. | Lower-cost option where PCB layout allows single-point ground and trace resistance is negligible (<10 mΩ). | Select REF3450QDBVRQ1 only if system-level load regulation error budget permits omission of force-sense architecture. |
| MAX6070BAUT50+T | 5.0 V output, ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C drift, but no enable pin and 12 µA quiescent current; SOT-23-5 package. | Preferred for ultra-low-drift applications where shutdown functionality is unnecessary and supply current is not constrained. | Choose MAX6070BAUT50+T when drift performance dominates over power savings and enable control. |
Compared with REF3450SQDBVRQ1, REF3450QDBVRQ1 removes force-sense capability for cost reduction while retaining core specs, whereas MAX6070BAUT50+T trades enable functionality and higher quiescent current for superior drift - making REF3450SQDBVRQ1 optimal for automotive systems requiring both precision and intelligent power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF3450SQDBVRQ1?
The REF3450SQDBVRQ1 supports a maximum input voltage of 12 V, with absolute maximum rating of 13 V. Operation above 12 V risks exceeding thermal limits and violating recommended operating conditions - sustained use beyond 12 V may degrade long-term stability or cause permanent damage.
Does REF3450SQDBVRQ1 require external capacitors?
Yes, REF3450SQDBVRQ1 requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor on the IN pin and supports 0.1 µF–10 µF on the OUT_F pin. The datasheet specifies 10 µF for optimal noise and transient performance. Omitting these capacitors causes instability, increased noise, and potential oscillation.
How does the force-sense architecture of REF3450SQDBVRQ1 improve accuracy?
The REF3450SQDBVRQ1 uses separate OUT_F/GND_F (force) and OUT_S/GND_S (sense) terminals to isolate regulation feedback from load current paths. This eliminates voltage drop errors caused by PCB trace resistance, maintaining ±0.05% accuracy even with 100 mΩ ground path impedance - critical for high-current automotive modules.
What is the typical turn-on time for REF3450SQDBVRQ1?
The REF3450SQDBVRQ1 has a typical turn-on time of 2.5 ms to settle within 0.1% of final 5.0 V output when CL = 10 µF. This value is measured from EN rising edge to output stabilization and is confirmed across −40°C to +125°C - essential for fast-wake applications like ADAS camera power sequencing.
Is REF3450SQDBVRQ1 pin-compatible with other REF34-Q1 variants?
No, REF3450SQDBVRQ1 (SOT-23-6 force-sense) is not pin-compatible with REF3450QDBVRQ1 (SOT-23-6 standard) or REF3450SDBVRQ1 (SOT-23-5). Pin functions differ significantly - especially GND_F/GND_S/OUT_F/OUT_S assignments - requiring unique PCB layout and schematic symbol for REF3450SQDBVRQ1.
