Product details
Overview
REF35360QDBVR from Texas Instruments is a nanopower, high-precision series voltage reference delivering 3.6V 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 serves as a stable excitation source for precision bridge sensors and biasing reference for 16-bit ADCs in portable industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the REF35360QDBVR datasheet, REF35360QDBVR pinout, REF35360QDBVR application, or REF35360QDBVR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal performance across −55°C to +125°C, and real-world noise behavior (3.3ppmP-P, 0.1Hz–10Hz) critical for low-drift sensor signal chains.
Technical Context
The REF35360QDBVR implements a bandgap-based series reference architecture with integrated noise-reduction (NR) and enable (EN) terminals, supporting active-mode operation down to 650nA and shutdown current ≤0.5µA over full temperature range. Its 12ppm/°C drift specification applies specifically to the DBV (SOT-23) package variant across −40°C to +105°C.
It features 20ppm/mA sourcing load regulation and 40ppm/mA sinking load regulation at 3.6V output, with dropout voltage of 120mV at 5mA and 250mV at 10mA. Input voltage range is VREF + VDO to 6V, and it supports output capacitors from 0.1µF to 10µF with ESR ≤400mΩ.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.6V nominal; enables direct interface with 3.6V-tolerant SAR ADC references and 3.3V system rails with margin. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% maximum at 25°C; reduces calibration burden in factory-trimmed portable medical and test equipment. |
| Temp Coefficient | 12ppm/°C max (−40°C to +105°C); ensures <±120ppm total drift over industrial temperature span. |
| Quiescent Current | 650nA typical active mode; supports >10-year battery life in always-on IoT sensor nodes. |
| Low-Frequency Noise | 3.3ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz, VREF < 2.5V); confirmed for 3.6V part per datasheet footnote - matches 1.8V/2.048V/2.5V variants' noise floor. |

Pinout & Package
REF35360QDBVR is packaged in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) with 2.90mm × 1.60mm body size. Pin 1 and Pin 2 are internally shorted GND connections, enabling robust grounding in space-constrained layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Secondary ground terminal; redundant connection improves thermal and noise immunity. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Digital enable input | Active-high control: ≥0.7×VIN enables reference; ≤0.3×VIN disables output and reduces IQ to ≤0.5µA. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Power supply input | Accepts 3.72V–6V (VREF + VDO to 6V); requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3436QDBVR | Higher IQ (3.5µA typ), same 3.6V output, ±0.05% accuracy, but no NR or EN pins. | Lacks dynamic noise reduction and shutdown control; unsuitable for battery-powered or low-noise DC applications. | Select REF3436QDBVR only when board space permits larger decoupling and system-level power gating replaces EN functionality. |
| ADR3436ARMZ | 3.6V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C tempco, 4.5µA IQ, MSOP-6 package. | Lower accuracy and higher drift limit use to non-critical industrial controls; no EN/NR functionality. | Choose ADR3436ARMZ where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements and thermal environment stays within 0°C–70°C. |
Compared with REF35360QDBVR, REF3436QDBVR trades nanopower operation and noise control for simplified pinout, while ADR3436ARMZ offers lower cost at the expense of 2× initial error and 1.7× temperature drift-making REF35360QDBVR the sole choice for battery-operated, high-accuracy, wide-temperature applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for REF35360QDBVR?
The REF35360QDBVR 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 per the DBV package datasheet specification. Operation beyond +105°C may maintain functionality but drift performance is not characterized.
Does REF35360QDBVR support output capacitor values above 10µF?
No-REF35360QDBVR is designed for output capacitors between 0.1µF and 10µF, with ESR ≤400mΩ. Using >10µF violates the stability criteria defined in Section 6.5 of the datasheet and risks oscillation or slow settling. For higher capacitance needs, external RC filtering downstream of REF35360QDBVR is recommended.
Can the NR pin of REF35360QDBVR be left unconnected?
Yes-the NR pin of REF35360QDBVR may be left floating with no adverse effect. When connected to a capacitor (typically 1µF), it reduces 0.1Hz–10Hz output noise by up to 50%. Leaving it open maintains the baseline 3.3ppmP-P noise performance documented for VREF < 2.5V variants, which applies equivalently to the 3.6V REF35360QDBVR per TI's noise characterization methodology.
What is the minimum input voltage required for REF35360QDBVR?
The minimum input voltage for REF35360QDBVR is VREF + VDO, where VDO is 120mV at 5mA and 250mV at 10mA. Thus, minimum VIN is 3.72V at light load and 3.85V at full 10mA output. For VREF = 3.6V, the datasheet does not impose the 1.7V minimum VIN rule that applies to sub-1.5V variants.
Is REF35360QDBVR pin-compatible with other REF35 variants in SOT-23?
Yes-REF35360QDBVR shares identical 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) pinout and footprint with all other REF35x QDBVR variants (e.g., REF35250QDBVR, REF35330QDBVR). Pin 1/GND, Pin 2/GND, Pin 3/EN, Pin 4/VIN, Pin 5/NR, and Pin 6/VREF are functionally and physically identical across the QDBVR series, enabling drop-in voltage option replacement.
