Product details
Overview
REF5045AQDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade, low-noise, very-low-drift precision voltage reference delivering 4.5 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C typical temperature drift, and 13.5 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise. It sources/sinks ±10 mA and operates from –40°C to +125°C, serving as the primary reference in high-resolution ADCs for automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the REF5045AQDRQ1 datasheet, REF5045AQDRQ1 pinout, REF5045AQDRQ1 application, or REF5045AQDRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 pin mapping, automotive-qualified thermal stability data, and validated alternatives for ATE, medical instrumentation, and precision industrial control designs.
Technical Context
The REF5045AQDRQ1 implements a proprietary precision bandgap core with internal trimming and noise-reduction architecture. Its TRIM/NR pin enables ±15 mV output adjustment and supports external capacitor filtering (1 µF recommended) to suppress broadband noise.
It features dual monitoring paths: VOUT provides stable 4.5 V reference with <8 ppm/°C max drift, while the TEMP pin delivers a 2.64 mV/°C analog temperature signal (575 mV at 25°C) for on-chip thermal awareness-buffering required for accurate measurement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.5 V nominal; fixed value enabling direct interface with 16-bit SAR ADCs requiring 4.5 V reference (e.g., ADS8326). |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.1% max at 25°C; ensures ≤4.5 mV absolute error without calibration in production test systems. |
| Temp Drift | 3 ppm/°C typical, 8 ppm/°C max over –40°C to +125°C; contributes ≤0.0036 V error across full automotive temperature range. |
| Output Noise | 13.5 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz); limits effective resolution to ≤19.5 bits in low-frequency precision acquisition. |
| HBM ESD Rating | ±1000 V per AEC Q100-002; qualifies for handling in automotive manufacturing environments without special ESD controls. |
| Supply Range | VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.2 V (min 4.7 V); enables ultra-low dropout operation in battery-supplied modules with tight headroom. |
| Load Current | ±10 mA sourcing/sinking capability; supports driving multiple ADC references or op-amp bias networks without external buffers. |
Pinout & Package
REF5045AQDRQ1 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), RoHS-compliant and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1. Thermal resistance RθJA = 107.1°C/W enables operation up to +125°C ambient with moderate power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DNC) | Do not connect | Unused pad; must remain floating-no trace or solder connection permitted. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 4.7 V to 18 V; dropout as low as 200 mV enables use in 5 V systems with minimal regulation overhead. |
| 3 (TEMP) | Temperature monitor output | Provides 575 mV @ 25°C, 2.64 mV/°C slope; requires op-amp buffer (e.g., OPA333) before ADC sampling. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground | Primary return path for reference current; must be connected to clean analog ground plane, separate from digital GND. |
| 5 (TRIM/NR) | Trim & noise reduction | Enables ±15 mV VOUT adjustment or 1 µF capacitor attachment for 14.5 Hz low-pass noise filtering. |
| 6 (VOUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 4.5 V ±0.1%; requires 1–50 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 7 (NC) | No internal connection | Floating terminal; no internal bond wire-must not be tied to any net. |
| 8 (DNC) | Do not connect | Unused pad; identical to Pin 1-leave unconnected and unmasked in layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), HBM ±1000 V-certified for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics. |
| Low long-term drift | 90 ppm/1000 hr typical after first 1000 hours-enables 10+ year field reliability in sealed automotive modules. |
| Thermal hysteresis | 10 ppm max after –40°C/+125°C cycling-critical for repeatable calibration in reflow-soldered ECUs. |
| High PSRR | >60 dB at 1 kHz (Figure 5)-rejects switching noise from DC/DC converters powering adjacent microcontrollers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5040A-Q1 | 4.096 V output, same SOIC-8 package, identical drift/noise specs, but 0.1% initial accuracy applies to 4.096 V point. | Used where 4.096 V aligns with 12-/16-bit ADC full-scale (e.g., 212 × 1 mV), not 4.5 V systems. | Select when matching legacy 4.096 V reference designs or optimizing for binary-aligned ADC codes. |
| ADR4545B | 4.5 V output, SOIC-8, ±0.02% initial accuracy (tighter), but 12 ppm/°C max drift and higher 3.75 µVRMS noise. | Suitable for lab-grade instrumentation needing tighter initial tolerance, less ideal for wide-temp automotive use. | Choose for benchtop test equipment where initial accuracy dominates over thermal stability. |
Compared with REF5045AQDRQ1, REF5040A-Q1 offers identical performance at 4.096 V for binary-aligned systems, while ADR4545B trades lower initial error for higher drift and noise-making REF5045AQDRQ1 optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding consistent accuracy across temperature extremes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for REF5045AQDRQ1?
The REF5045AQDRQ1 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. Its junction temperature must not exceed 150°C; with RθJA = 107.1°C/W and typical quiescent current of 1.2 mA, it remains within safe thermal limits even at maximum ambient when delivering ≤5 mA load current. REF5045AQDRQ1's thermal hysteresis is characterized across this full range.
Does REF5045AQDRQ1 support negative reference generation?
REF5045AQDRQ1 itself provides only a positive 4.5 V reference output and cannot generate negative voltages directly. However, as shown in TI's SBOS456H Figure 31, REF5045AQDRQ1 can be paired with a precision zero-drift op amp like OPA735 to create a buffered negative reference-though the OPA735 must be powered from split supplies. REF5045AQDRQ1 remains the stable positive rail source in such configurations.
Can the TRIM/NR pin of REF5045AQDRQ1 be left unconnected?
Yes-the TRIM/NR pin (Pin 5) may be left floating if no output adjustment or noise filtering is required. However, TI recommends connecting a 1 µF capacitor from TRIM/NR to GND to reduce broadband noise by ~10 dB, especially in noisy automotive environments. Leaving it unconnected does not affect REF5045AQDRQ1's basic functionality or accuracy specifications.
What is the purpose of the TEMP pin on REF5045AQDRQ1?
REF5045AQDRQ1's TEMP pin (Pin 3) outputs a voltage proportional to die temperature: 575 mV at 25°C with 2.64 mV/°C slope. It is intended for coarse thermal monitoring-not precision measurement-and requires buffering (e.g., with OPA333) due to its ~60 kΩ output impedance. Loading it directly degrades accuracy but does not affect REF5045AQDRQ1's VOUT stability.
Is REF5045AQDRQ1 pin-compatible with other REF50xxA-Q1 variants?
Yes-REF5045AQDRQ1 shares identical SOIC-8 (D package) pinout, electrical behavior, and thermal characteristics with all REF50xxA-Q1 family members (e.g., REF5040A-Q1, REF5050A-Q1). The only functional difference is the nominal output voltage (4.5 V), making it a direct drop-in replacement where 4.5 V reference is required, with no PCB or firmware changes needed.
