Product details
Overview
REF35180YBHR from Texas Instruments is a nanopower, high-precision series voltage reference delivering 1.8V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max temperature coefficient (−40°C to +85°C), and 650nA typical quiescent current. It operates across −55°C to +125°C and supports ±5mA sink/source load in a 4-pin WCSP package - ideal for ultra-low-power sensor biasing and portable data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the REF35180YBHR datasheet, REF35180YBHR pinout, REF35180YBHR application, or REF35180YBHR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, WCSP package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in medical and industrial instrumentation, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The REF35180YBHR implements a bandgap-based series reference architecture with integrated enable (EN) and noise reduction (NR) terminals, enabling precise power management and low-noise operation in battery-constrained systems. Its 10ppm/°C tempco is specified over −40°C to +85°C - tighter than the SOT-23 variant's 12ppm/°C - and its 3.3ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise performance is confirmed for VREF < 2.5V configurations.
It features active-mode quiescent current of 0.65µA (typ), shutdown current of 0.1µA (typ), dropout voltage of 120mV at 5mA, and long-term stability of 40ppm at 1k hour - all measured under TI's standardized test conditions per SNAS809C Rev. September 2024.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8V ±0.05% - enables accurate scaling for 12–16-bit ADCs with 1.8V reference rails. |
| Tempco (max) | 10ppm/°C (−40°C to +85°C) - ensures ≤±85ppm total drift over industrial ambient range. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.65µA (typ) - allows >10-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors drawing <1µA system current. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 3.3ppmP-P - contributes <0.006mVP-P error to 1.8V output, critical for µV-level precision measurements. |
| Load Regulation | 20ppm/mA (source), 40ppm/mA (sink) - maintains stability under dynamic sensor excitation loads up to ±5mA. |
| Long-Term Stability | 40ppm at 1000 hours - predicts minimal calibration drift in field-deployed medical or test equipment. |
| Operating Range | −55°C to +125°C - supports extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
REF35180YBHR uses a 4-pin Wafer Chip Scale Package (WCSP) with nominal dimensions 1.05mm × 0.84mm. The package has no exposed thermal pad and requires standard reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF | Output | Stable 1.8V reference voltage node; connects directly to ADC REF+ or precision DAC reference input. |
| VIN | Power | Input supply (1.7V min for 1.8V output); must exceed VREF by ≥120mV at 5mA load to avoid dropout. |
| GND | Ground | Primary device ground; pin B1 in WCSP layout - must be tied to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| EN | Input | Enable control: logic-high (>0.7×VIN) activates reference; logic-low (<0.3×VIN) reduces IQ to 0.1µA (typ). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ mode | 650nA typical active current enables multi-year operation from coin cells in portable diagnostics. |
| EN-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to 100nA (typ), eliminating standby loss in duty-cycled sensor nodes. |
| WCSP footprint | 0.88mm² area (1.05mm × 0.84mm) saves >70% board space vs. 6-pin SOT-23 for space-constrained wearables. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 70ppm max after −40°C/+85°C cycling - preserves calibration integrity in thermally cycled field instruments. |
| Stable with ceramic caps | Supports 0.1–10µF output capacitance (ESR ≤400mΩ), simplifying layout with common X7R/X5R MLCCs. |
Applications
| Blood Glucose Monitor | Flow Transmitter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Portable handheld glucose meter requiring stable 1.8V reference for electrochemical sensor signal conditioning and 16-bit ADC conversion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference for analog front-end gain-setting and ADC reference rail. Use Value: 0.05% initial accuracy and 10ppm/°C tempco ensure <±0.1% measurement error across body-temperature variations. | Use Scenario: Loop-powered industrial flow transmitter with 4–20mA output, operating from 12–24V supply with ultra-low internal power budget. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift, low-IQ reference for current-loop DAC and sensor bridge excitation. Use Value: 650nA quiescent current minimizes burden on loop power while maintaining 12-bit linearity over temperature. |
| Servo Drive Control Module | Optical Module |

Use Value: WCSP package enables placement near shunt resistor; 40ppm long-term stability avoids recalibration during 10-year service life. | Use Scenario: Pluggable optical transceiver (SFP+/QSFP) needing low-noise, low-power reference for TIA bias and DAC-controlled laser driver. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise 1.8V reference for analog control loops in high-speed optical PHY subsystems. Use Value: 3.3ppmP-P (0.1–10Hz) noise prevents baseline wander in photodiode current measurement circuits. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3418RTET | Higher IQ (3.5µA typ), 2.5ppm/°C max tempco, 3mm × 3mm WSON-6 package | Better tempco and noise, but 5.4× larger footprint and 5× higher supply current | Choose when ultimate stability outweighs size/power constraints - e.g., lab-grade calibrators. |
| ADR3418ARJZ-R7 | 1.8V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C tempco, SOT-23-5 package, 120nA IQ | Lower IQ but looser accuracy and higher tempco; no EN/NR pins | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical biasing where 0.1% error is acceptable and enable control is unnecessary. |
Compared with REF35180YBHR, REF3418RTET offers superior drift performance at the expense of size and power, while ADR3418ARJZ-R7 trades accuracy and feature set for ultra-low IQ and lower cost - making REF35180YBHR the optimal balance for space-constrained, battery-operated precision systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for REF35180YBHR?
The REF35180YBHR is fully specified from −40°C to +85°C, with functional operation guaranteed from −55°C to +125°C per SNAS809C Rev. September 2024. Its 10ppm/°C temperature coefficient applies strictly within the −40°C to +85°C range, making it suitable for extended-temperature industrial environments where full spec compliance is required.
Does REF35180YBHR require an external capacitor on the NR pin?
No - the NR pin on REF35180YBHR may be left floating, but connecting a capacitor (typically 1µF to 10µF) between NR and GND reduces low-frequency noise. For the 1.8V variant, noise is specified as 3.3ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) with NR open; adding capacitance further lowers this value, improving performance in high-resolution measurement systems using REF35180YBHR.
Can REF35180YBHR drive a 10mA load?
No - REF35180YBHR is rated for +10mA source and −5mA sink current. Driving a full 10mA load is only supported in sourcing direction; sinking 10mA exceeds its −5mA limit and may cause output regulation failure. Designers must verify load polarity and magnitude - for bidirectional 10mA loads, consider a buffer amplifier or alternate reference like REF5018.
What is the dropout voltage of REF35180YBHR at 5mA load?
The dropout voltage of REF35180YBHR is 120mV (max) at 5mA load, meaning VIN must be ≥1.92V to maintain regulation. This value is confirmed in Section 6.6 (Electrical Characteristics YBH package) of the SNAS809C datasheet. At 10mA, dropout rises to 250mV, requiring VIN ≥2.05V - critical for low-voltage battery systems where headroom is constrained.
Is REF35180YBHR pin-compatible with other REF35 variants in WCSP?
Yes - all REF35 YBH-packaged variants (e.g., REF35250YBHR, REF35409YBHR) share identical 4-pin WCSP pinout: VREF (A1), VIN (A2), GND (B1), EN (B2). This allows drop-in replacement across output voltages without PCB redesign, provided input voltage, load, and thermal requirements remain compatible with the new VREF selection.
