Product details
Overview
REF35500QDBVR from Texas Instruments is a 5.0V ultra-low-power, high-precision series voltage reference in a 6-pin SOT-23 package, delivering ±0.05% initial accuracy, 12ppm/°C max temperature coefficient (−40°C to 105°C), 650nA typical quiescent current, and 3.3ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise - optimized for battery-powered precision sensor signal chains and 12–16-bit data converters.
For engineers reviewing the REF35500QDBVR datasheet, REF35500QDBVR pinout, REF35500QDBVR application, or REF35500QDBVR equivalent, this device supports critical low-drift, low-noise biasing of ADCs/DACs, current-sense amplifiers, and optical modules where long-term stability (40ppm at 1k hour), thermal hysteresis control (70ppm), and enable/shutdown functionality are essential.
Technical Context
The REF35500QDBVR implements a nanopower bandgap-based series reference architecture with integrated noise-reduction (NR) and enable (EN) pins, supporting active operation down to 650nA and shutdown current as low as 100nA. Its design targets minimal thermal drift across industrial temperature ranges while maintaining load regulation of 20ppm/mA (source) and line regulation of ≤120ppm/V (for VREF ≥ 2.5V).
It operates from VIN = VREF + VDO (min 1.7V for lower voltages; 5.25V min for 5.0V output) up to 6V, delivers ±10mA output current, and requires only 0.1µF input and 0.1–10µF output capacitance with ESR ≤ 400mΩ - enabling stable performance in space-constrained, low-power embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 5.0V nominal - provides precise, stable bias for 5V-domain ADCs, DACs, and analog front-ends without external scaling. |
| Initial accuracy | ±0.05% max at 25°C - ensures system-level calibration integrity without post-manufacturing trimming. |
| Tempco | 12ppm/°C max (−40°C to 105°C) - limits full-range drift to < ±1.25mV over industrial temperature span. |
| Quiescent current | 650nA typical active / 100nA max shutdown - enables multi-year battery life in portable medical and IoT sensors. |
| Low-frequency noise | 3.3ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - minimizes quantization uncertainty in high-resolution DC measurements. |
| Long-term stability | 40ppm at 1000 hours - predicts minimal calibration drift during first year of field operation. |
| Thermal hysteresis | 70ppm (cycle 1, −40°C to 105°C) - defines repeatability error after thermal cycling in harsh environments. |
Pinout & Package
REF35500QDBVR is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm, with pins 1 and 2 internally shorted to GND for enhanced grounding and noise immunity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1 & 2) | Ground reference | Dual GND pins reduce ground impedance and improve PSRR; internal short ensures consistent reference node potential. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>0.7×VIN) activates reference; logic-low (<0.3×VIN) reduces IQ to ≤500nA - enables power-gating in duty-cycled systems. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Input supply | Accepts 5.25V–6V input (VREF + VDO to 6V); dropout voltage is 250mV at 10mA load. |
| NR (Pin 5) | Noise reduction | Connect external capacitor (1µF typical) to suppress 1/f noise; floating if unused - adds flexibility in noise-sensitive layouts. |
| VREF (Pin 6) | Precision output | Delivers regulated 5.0V with ±5mA sink/source capability; output impedance <1Ω below 10Hz enables direct driving of ADC reference inputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 650nA typical active mode - extends shelf life and runtime in energy-harvesting and coin-cell applications. |
| Integrated EN pin | Reduces shutdown current to ≤500nA - eliminates need for external MOSFET switches in low-duty-cycle sensing nodes. |
| Noise reduction (NR) pin | Enables 3.3ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise floor via optional capacitor - achieves sub-16-bit effective resolution without post-filtering. |
| High output drive | ±10mA sourcing/sinking - directly powers precision op-amps, current-sense amplifiers, and SAR ADC references without buffering. |
| Robust thermal performance | 12ppm/°C tempco and 70ppm thermal hysteresis - maintains accuracy in uncontrolled ambient conditions (e.g., outdoor instrumentation). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the REF35500QDBVR?
The REF35500QDBVR is fully specified from −40°C to +105°C and remains functional across −55°C to +125°C. Its 12ppm/°C temperature coefficient applies within the −40°C to +105°C range, and thermal hysteresis is characterized up to +105°C. This makes REF35500QDBVR suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood applications where extended thermal resilience is required.
Does the REF35500QDBVR require an external capacitor on the NR pin?
No - the NR pin of the REF35500QDBVR may be left floating if noise reduction is not required. When used, a 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND reduces 0.1Hz–10Hz output noise to 3.3ppmP-P; larger values further suppress low-frequency noise but increase turn-on time. The REF35500QDBVR remains stable without NR capacitance, preserving design flexibility.
Can the REF35500QDBVR drive a 10kΩ load directly?
Yes - the REF35500QDBVR delivers ±10mA output current, supporting loads down to 500Ω at 5.0V (10mA). A 10kΩ load draws only 0.5mA, well within its sourcing capability. Load regulation is specified at 20ppm/mA, so 0.5mA load shift contributes <10ppm error - negligible for most 16-bit applications.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the REF35500QDBVR to regulate at 5.0V?
The minimum input voltage for the REF35500QDBVR is VREF + VDO, where VDO = 250mV at 10mA load. Thus, minimum VIN = 5.25V. For lighter loads (e.g., 1mA), VDO drops to ~120mV, allowing regulation from 5.12V. Input must not exceed 6V per absolute maximum ratings.
How does the EN pin behavior affect system power sequencing?
The EN pin of the REF35500QDBVR enables controlled power-up: asserting EN > 0.7×VIN initiates turn-on with 2ms settling (0.1%); pulling EN < 0.3×VIN reduces quiescent current to ≤500nA. This allows synchronized activation with microcontroller GPIOs and avoids reference glitches during brown-out recovery - critical for reliable ADC initialization in REF35500QDBVR-based systems.
