Product details
Overview
REF35180QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) ultra-low-power, high-precision series voltage reference delivering 1.8 V output with ±0.05 % initial accuracy, 15 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 3.3 ppmP-P (0.1 Hz–10 Hz) low-frequency noise. It operates from VREF + VDO to 6 V, supplies ±5 mA load current, and targets precision sensor biasing and data converter reference in automotive ADAS subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the REF35180QDBVRQ1 datasheet, REF35180QDBVRQ1 pinout, REF35180QDBVRQ1 application, or REF35180QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its nanopower 650 nA quiescent current, NR pin for configurable noise reduction, EN pin for shutdown control, SOT-23-6 package compatibility, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive front camera and battery control unit use.
Technical Context
The REF35180QDBVRQ1 implements a precision bandgap core with buffered output and integrated enable logic, supporting active and shutdown modes via a clean EN architecture that draws only 0.1 µA in shutdown. Its low dropout voltage (120 mV at 5 mA, 250 mV at 10 mA) enables operation from single-cell LiFePO4 or dual-cell alkaline supplies.
It features dual ground pins (GND1, GND2) for improved PSRR and thermal stability, an NR pin enabling external capacitor filtering to reduce 1/f noise, and specified performance across −40°C to +125°C ambient with functional operation down to −55°C. Load regulation is 20 ppm/mA (source) and 40 ppm/mA (sink), and line regulation is ≤160 ppm/V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 1.8 V ±0.05 % - stable reference for 12–16-bit ADCs requiring sub-LSB error budget |
| Quiescent current | 650 nA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive sensors |
| Tempco | 15 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C) - limits drift to <1.8 mV over full automotive range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3418QDBVRQ1 | Higher IQ (3.5 µA typ), no NR pin, 20 ppm/°C tempco, same SOT-23-6 package | Lacks noise-reduction capability; less suitable for ultra-low-noise sensor front-ends | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for sub-ppm noise or lowest possible IQ |
| MAX6070BAUT18+T | 600 nA IQ, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 2.5 ppmP-P noise, SOT-23-6, but not AEC-Q100 qualified | Not automotive-qualified; limited to industrial or consumer applications | Select only for non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 is not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF35180QDBVRQ1?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF35180QDBVRQ1 is 6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is VREF + VDO to 6 V. With VREF = 1.8 V and VDO ≤ 250 mV, the minimum valid VIN is 2.05 V. Operating above 6 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the NR pin on REF35180QDBVRQ1 reduce noise?
The NR pin on REF35180QDBVRQ1 connects internally to a noise-filtering node; adding a 1–10 µF capacitor between NR and GND attenuates 0.1–10 Hz 1/f noise by up to 50 %. REF35180QDBVRQ1 achieves 3.3 ppmP-P base noise, and with 10 µF on NR, typical noise drops to ~1.7 ppmP-P, verified in TI's SNAS845 characterization data.
Is REF35180QDBVRQ1 pin-compatible with other REF35-Q1 variants?
Yes, all REF35-Q1 variants-including REF35180QDBVRQ1, REF35250QDBVRQ1, and REF35330QDBVRQ1-share identical SOT-23-6 (DBV) pinout, thermal footprint, and electrical interface. Only the output voltage differs; no PCB layout change is needed when swapping within the family for design flexibility.
What is the load regulation specification for REF35180QDBVRQ1?
REF35180QDBVRQ1 has load regulation of 20 ppm/mA (source, 0–10 mA) and 40 ppm/mA (sink, 0–5 mA). At 10 mA output, this equates to a worst-case ΔVREF of ±20 µV, ensuring stable reference performance across dynamic sensor biasing loads without external buffering.
Does REF35180QDBVRQ1 support operation below −40°C?
REF35180QDBVRQ1 is fully specified from −40°C to +125°C (Grade 1), but its functional operating range extends to −55°C. Electrical characteristics such as initial accuracy and tempco are not guaranteed below −40°C; however, the device remains powered and operational, enabling cold-cranking support in battery management systems.
