Product details
Overview
TS3312AQPR from STMicroelectronics is a micropower, high-precision series voltage reference delivering a stable 1.25 V output with ±0.15 % initial accuracy, 3.9 μA typical quiescent current at 25 °C, and 30 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over –40 to +125 °C. It operates from 1.8 V input and supports ±5 mA load current, making it suitable for portable medical sensors and battery-powered data acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the TS3312AQPR datasheet, TS3312AQPR pinout, TS3312AQPR application, or TS3312AQPR equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, tight initial tolerance, capacitive-load stability, extended temperature performance, and QFN8 1.5×1.5 mm package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TS3312AQPR is a bandgap-based series voltage reference optimized for low-power precision analog systems. Its architecture enables stable regulation with no external compensation required, even under 0.1–10 µF ceramic capacitive loads, and maintains monotonic behavior across full temperature and load ranges.
It features internal short-circuit protection (35 mA limit), turn-on settling time of 2 ms to 0.1 % with 1 µF output capacitor, and low-frequency noise of 27 µVP-P (0.1–10 Hz). Dropout voltage remains ≤160 mV at ±5 mA load across –40 to +125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.25 V - fixed, factory-trimmed reference ideal for ADC/DAC biasing and sensor excitation circuits. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.15 % - ensures <±1.88 mV absolute error at 25 °C, reducing calibration burden in high-resolution measurement systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.9 μA (typ.) - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered instrumentation with minimal standby drain. |
| Temp Coefficient | 30 ppm/°C max (–40 to +125 °C) - contributes ≤37.5 ppm total drift over full range, supporting 16-bit+ system accuracy. |
| Load Regulation | ±20 ppm/mA (–40 to +125 °C) - maintains output stability despite dynamic current draw in multiplexed sensor arrays. |
| Line Regulation | ±30 ppm/V (–40 to +125 °C) - rejects supply ripple without additional LDO filtering in noisy embedded power rails. |
| Capacitive Load Range | 0.1–10 µF - compatible with standard X7R ceramics, eliminating need for specialized low-ESR capacitors. |
Pinout & Package
TS3312AQPR is supplied in a wettable flank QFN8 package (1.5 × 1.5 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and thermal performance. The exposed pad improves thermal dissipation (RthJA = 159 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V input; dropout as low as 100 mV enables operation from single Li-ion or regulated 1.8 V rails. |
| 2 (OUT) | Reference Output | Provides low-noise, high-PSRR 1.25 V source; stable with 0.1–10 µF ceramic output capacitance. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground | Low-impedance return path; must be connected directly to clean ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4–8 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices for thermal/mechanical integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3.9 μA typ. - extends battery life in portable ECG monitors and handheld multimeters without sacrificing accuracy. |
| High-temperature stability | ±0.15 % over –40 to +125 °C - eliminates recalibration in automotive cabin sensors and industrial process transmitters. |
| Capacitive-load immunity | Stable with 0.1–10 µF X7R ceramics - removes need for external compensation networks in compact PCB designs. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TS3312AQPR to regulate at 1.25 V?
The TS3312AQPR requires a minimum input voltage of 1.8 V to maintain regulation at 1.25 V output. At ±5 mA load and 25 °C, its dropout voltage is typically 100 mV, meaning VIN ≥ 1.35 V is sufficient-but the datasheet specifies 1.8 V as the guaranteed minimum operating input across temperature and process corners.
Can TS3312AQPR drive a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor without oscillation?
Yes. The TS3312AQPR is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with output capacitance from 0.1 µF to 10 µF, including standard X7R dielectrics. Figure 18 (Stability Plan) in DS12001 confirms stable operation across this full range with no external compensation required.
Does TS3312AQPR have reverse-voltage protection on the IN pin?
No. Absolute maximum rating for IN is –0.3 V; applying reverse voltage beyond this risks permanent damage. External protection (e.g., series diode or TVS) is required if reverse polarity exposure is possible in the end application.
How does the 3.9 μA quiescent current vary across temperature?
Quiescent current increases with temperature: 4.4–7.5 μA over –40 to +85 °C, and 4.8–10 μA over –40 to +125 °C. This monotonic rise is fully specified and accounted for in battery-life calculations for long-duration deployments.
