Product details
Overview
REF35180QDBVR from Texas Instruments is a nanopower, high-precision series voltage reference delivering 1.8V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 12ppm/°C max temperature coefficient (−40°C to 105°C), and 650nA typical quiescent current in a 6-pin SOT-23 package. It supports precision sensor biasing and 12–16-bit data converter power supply in portable industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the REF35180QDBVR datasheet, REF35180QDBVR pinout, REF35180QDBVR application, or REF35180QDBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, low thermal drift over extended temperature range, noise reduction via NR pin, enable-controlled shutdown, and compatibility with 0.1µF input / up to 10µF output capacitors.
Technical Context
The REF35180QDBVR implements a bandgap-based series reference architecture with integrated noise-reduction (NR) and enable (EN) control terminals. Its 12ppm/°C tempco is specified across −40°C to 105°C for the SOT-23 (DBV) package, and it achieves 3.3ppmP-P low-frequency noise (0.1Hz–10Hz) at VREF < 2.5V.
It operates from VIN = VREF + VDO (min 1.7V for 1.8V output) up to 6V, delivers ±5mA sink/source capability, and features 20ppm/mA load regulation (source) and 40ppm/mA (sink), with 40ppm/V line regulation for VREF < 2.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 1.8V nominal - precisely sets ADC/DAC reference level or sensor excitation voltage |
| Initial accuracy | ±0.05% max - enables single-point calibration in high-resolution systems |
| Tempco | 12ppm/°C max (−40°C to 105°C) - ensures <±120ppm total drift over full industrial range |
| Quiescent current | 650nA typical - supports >10-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors |
| Output noise | 3.3ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - contributes <0.0005% error in 16-bit measurements |
| Load current | +10mA / −5mA - drives precision op-amps, SAR ADC references, and bridge sensors directly |
| Shutdown current | 0.1µA max - reduces system standby power in duty-cycled applications |
Pinout & Package
REF35180QDBVR is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm, with pins 1 and 2 internally shorted as GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1 & 2) | Ground reference | Dual GND pins reduce ground impedance and improve PSRR; must be connected to low-impedance analog ground plane |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; floating or ≥0.7×VIN enables operation; ≤0.3×VIN places device in shutdown (IQ ≤ 0.5µA) |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Power input | Accepts 1.7V to 6V; dropout voltage is 120mV at 5mA, enabling use with low-headroom supplies |
| NR (Pin 5) | Noise reduction node | Connect external capacitor (1µF typical) to reduce 0.1Hz–10Hz noise; left floating if unused |
| VREF (Pin 6) | Reference output | Stable 1.8V source; requires 0.1–10µF output capacitor (ESR ≤ 400mΩ) for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ mode | 650nA typical active current enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable diagnostics |
| NR pin noise filtering | Reduces 0.1Hz–10Hz output noise to 3.3ppmP-P, critical for high-resolution DC measurements |
| EN pin shutdown control | Reduces supply current to 0.1µA max, allowing dynamic power gating in energy-constrained systems |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 70ppm max after −40°C ↔ 105°C cycling - maintains calibration integrity across thermal cycles |
| Long-term stability | 40ppm drift over first 1000 hours - predictable aging behavior simplifies lifetime accuracy modeling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3418IRUNR | 1.8V, ±0.05% accuracy, 10ppm/°C (−40°C to 125°C), 550nA IQ, 5-pin X2SON package | Lower tempco and wider operating range; no EN/NR pins; smaller footprint | Preferred when board space is constrained and enable/shutdown not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for REF35180QDBVR?
The REF35180QDBVR is fully specified from −40°C to +105°C and remains functional across −55°C to +125°C. Its 12ppm/°C temperature coefficient is guaranteed only within the −40°C to +105°C range for the SOT-23 (DBV) package. Operation beyond 105°C may increase drift beyond spec but does not damage the device.
How does the NR pin on REF35180QDBVR reduce output noise?
The NR pin on REF35180QDBVR connects to an external capacitor that forms a low-pass filter for internal noise sources. With a 1µF capacitor, REF35180QDBVR achieves 3.3ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise at 1.8V output. Leaving NR floating yields same performance; adding capacitance beyond 10µF provides diminishing returns and risks instability.
Can REF35180QDBVR drive a 10kΩ load directly?
Yes. With a 1.8V output and ±5mA sink/source capability, REF35180QDBVR can drive a minimum 360Ω load (1.8V/5mA). A 10kΩ load draws only 180µA - well within its sourcing range - and introduces negligible error (<0.002% load regulation) due to its 20ppm/mA specification.
What is the recommended input capacitor for REF35180QDBVR?
The datasheet specifies a minimum 0.1µF ceramic input capacitor placed close to VIN and GND pins. This stabilizes the input supply against transient currents during load switching and improves PSRR above 10kHz. X7R or C0G dielectrics are preferred; capacitor ESR should be <1Ω for optimal performance.
Does REF35180QDBVR require output capacitance, and what value is supported?
Yes - REF35180QDBVR requires an output capacitor between VREF and GND for stability. The supported range is 0.1µF to 10µF, with ESR ≤ 400mΩ. A 1µF X7R ceramic capacitor is typical; values >1µF further reduce broadband noise but do not affect low-frequency (0.1Hz–10Hz) performance.
