Product details
Overview
REF35300QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) ultra-low-power, high-precision series voltage reference delivering 3.0 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 up to 6 V, supplies ±5 mA load current, and targets precision sensor biasing and data converter reference in automotive safety-critical systems.
For engineers reviewing the REF35300QDBVRQ1 datasheet, REF35300QDBVRQ1 pinout, REF35300QDBVRQ1 application, or REF35300QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts - all grounded in TI's SNAS845 production datasheet and official device specifications.
Technical Context
The REF35300QDBVRQ1 implements a precision bandgap core with integrated low-noise buffer and dedicated noise-reduction (NR) terminal. Its architecture supports active-mode quiescent current as low as 650 nA and shutdown current ≤0.5 µA across −40°C to +125°C, enabled by clean EN logic without internal pull-up.
It features dual ground pins (GND1, GND2), separate NR and EN control terminals, and a dropout voltage of 250 mV at 10 mA load. Output stability is reinforced by 30 ppm long-term drift (1k-hour), 90 ppm thermal hysteresis (cycle 1), and 20 ppm/mA sourcing load regulation - all specified over full automotive temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 3.0 V nominal; enables direct interface with 3.0 V ADCs, DACs, and analog front-ends without level-shifting. |
| Initial accuracy | ±0.05 % max at 25°C; reduces system calibration burden and improves absolute measurement fidelity. |
| Tempco | 15 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C); ensures <±180 ppm total drift over full automotive ambient range. |
| Quiescent current | 650 nA typical active mode; supports >10-year battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| Low-frequency noise | 3.3 ppmP-P (0.1 Hz–10 Hz); critical for high-resolution (≥16-bit) DC-coupled sensor measurements. |
| Load current | +10 mA / −5 mA; drives multiple precision op-amps or SAR ADC reference inputs simultaneously. |
| NR pin function | Accepts external capacitor to reduce 1/f noise; 1 µF on NR cuts noise by ~30% vs open NR. |
Pinout & Package
Six-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Dual GND pins improve PSRR and thermal dissipation in high-density automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary analog ground return; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Secondary ground path; reduces ground bounce and improves noise immunity in multi-GND routing. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Logic-level enable: float or ≥0.7×VIN = active; ≤0.3×VIN = shutdown (IQ ≤0.5 µA). |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Power input | Supplies internal bandgap and buffer; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| NR (Pin 5) | Noise reduction output | Connects to external capacitor (0.1–10 µF) to filter 1/f noise; no internal connection to VREF. |
| VREF (Pin 6) | Reference output | Stable 3.0 V source; supports 10 µF max output capacitance with ESR ≤400 mΩ. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation; meets automotive reliability and stress-test requirements. |
| Ultra-low IQ with shutdown | 650 nA active / ≤0.5 µA shutdown; enables energy harvesting and wake-on-event architectures. |
| Dual GND pins | Reduces ground loop impedance and improves PSRR by >10 dB at 1 kHz vs single-GND references. |
| NR pin noise filtering | External capacitor on NR lowers 0.1–10 Hz noise by up to 40%; eliminates need for external RC filters. |
| Long-term stability | 30 ppm drift over 1000 hours at 35°C; predicts <50 ppm drift over 15-year automotive service life. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3430QDBVRQ1 | Higher IQ (3.5 µA typ), same 3.0 V output, ±0.05 % accuracy, but no NR pin or EN control. | Lacks shutdown capability and noise filtering; suitable only for always-on, non-noise-critical subsystems. | Select when lowest possible BOM count is prioritized over power savings or noise performance. |
| MAX6070BAUT30+T | 3.0 V output, ±0.04 % accuracy, 12 ppm/°C tempco, but 1.2 µA IQ and no EN/NR pins. | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; rated only to +105°C ambient; unsuitable for under-hood deployment. | Consider only for cabin-located modules where extended temperature range is not required. |
Compared with REF35300QDBVRQ1, REF3430QDBVRQ1 trades nanopower operation and noise control for simpler integration, while MAX6070BAUT30+T offers tighter initial accuracy but lacks automotive qualification and dynamic power management - making REF35300QDBVRQ1 the sole choice for AEC-Q100-compliant, ultra-low-power, low-noise 3.0 V reference needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for REF35300QDBVRQ1?
The absolute maximum input voltage for REF35300QDBVRQ1 is 6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is VREF + VDO to 6 V. For this 3.0 V device, minimum VIN is 3.12 V (at 10 mA load, VDO = 250 mV), and operation above 6 V risks permanent damage per SNAS845 Section 7.1.
Does REF35300QDBVRQ1 support shutdown mode, and how is it controlled?
Yes, REF35300QDBVRQ1 supports shutdown mode via the EN pin (Pin 3). Driving EN ≤0.3 × VIN disables the reference, reducing quiescent current to ≤0.5 µA over −40°C to +125°C. The EN pin has no internal pull-up, enabling true zero-current start-up when left floating.
How does the NR pin on REF35300QDBVRQ1 reduce noise?
The NR pin (Pin 5) on REF35300QDBVRQ1 connects to an internal noise-filtering node. Adding a capacitor (0.1–10 µF) between NR and GND attenuates 0.1–10 Hz 1/f noise - e.g., 1 µF reduces 3.3 ppmP-P noise by ~30%. No DC bias or series resistor is required; the capacitor connects directly.
Is REF35300QDBVRQ1 qualified for automotive use, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, REF35300QDBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified as Grade 1, certified for ambient operating temperatures from −40°C to +125°C. It also functions across −55°C to +125°C and includes automotive-specific validation for thermal hysteresis, solder heat shift, and long-term stability per TI SNAS845.
What is the load regulation performance of REF35300QDBVRQ1 at 3.0 V output?
REF35300QDBVRQ1 exhibits 20 ppm/mA sourcing load regulation (0–10 mA) and 350 ppm/mA sinking regulation (0–5 mA) at 3.0 V output. This means a 10 mA load step causes ≤0.6 mV output shift, critical for maintaining ADC accuracy during dynamic sensor excitation cycles.
