Product details
Overview
TS3333AQPR from STMicroelectronics is a micropower, high-precision series voltage reference delivering a stable 3.3 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 supports capacitive loads up to 10 µF and operates from 3.5 V to 5.5 V input, enabling use in ultra-low-power data acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the TS3333AQPR datasheet, TS3333AQPR pinout, TS3333AQPR application, or TS3333AQPR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤100 mV at ±5 mA), low-frequency noise (73 µVP-P, 0.1–10 Hz), load regulation (±20 ppm/mA over full temperature range), and QFN8 1.5×1.5 mm package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TS3333AQPR is a two-terminal series voltage reference-functionally an active shunt regulator with internal feedback-designed for precision biasing and ADC/DAC reference applications. Its architecture achieves stability with ceramic output capacitors ≥0.1 µF and maintains regulation under ±5 mA sourcing/sinking load conditions.
It features internal thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection, with guaranteed operation across industrial and automotive temperature ranges. The device exhibits monotonic output voltage vs. temperature behavior and demonstrates <2 ms turn-on settling time to 0.1 % with 1 µF output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal; enables direct interface with 3.3 V logic and SAR ADC references without scaling. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.15 % at 25 °C; reduces calibration overhead in portable instrumentation and medical sensors. |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 30 ppm/°C (–40 to +125 °C); ensures ≤±0.99 mV drift over full range, critical for multi-decade measurement systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.9 μA typ. at 25 °C; supports >10-year battery life in wireless sensor nodes drawing <10 μA average current. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100 mV max at ±5 mA load; allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–3.6 V) or regulated 3.3 V rails with margin. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 73 µVP-P; limits RMS error to ~23 µV in 24-bit delta-sigma ADC reference paths. |
| Capacitive Load Range | 0.1–10 µF; compatible with low-ESR X7R ceramics, eliminating need for external compensation. |
Pinout & Package
TS3333AQPR is supplied in QFN8 1.5×1.5 mm package with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection and thermal performance (RthJA = 159 °C/W). Pin 1 is IN, Pin 2 is OUT, Pin 3 is GND; Pins 4–8 are NC (no connect) and must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply terminal | Accepts 3.5–5.5 V DC; requires local 1 µF decoupling capacitor to minimize line transient sensitivity. |
| 2 (OUT) | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 3.3 V; connects directly to ADC REF+ or op-amp reference inputs with minimal trace inductance. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must be tied to clean analog ground plane; separate from digital ground to avoid noise coupling into reference path. |
| 4–8 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Internally unconnected; may be grounded for mechanical stability but must not be used as thermal pads or signal paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 3.9 μA typ. enables energy harvesting and coin-cell-powered designs with >5-year shelf life. |
| Extended temp range | –40 to +125 °C operation supports under-hood automotive sensors and industrial process controllers. |
| Stable with ceramic caps | Validated for 0.1–10 µF X7R ceramics; eliminates tantalum or electrolytic dependencies and improves reliability. |
| High PSRR | ≥60 dB at 1 kHz (SVR plot Fig. 7); rejects switching regulator ripple in mixed-signal power domains. |
| Fast turn-on | 2 ms settling to 0.1 % with 1 µF COUT; meets timing requirements of burst-mode data loggers and wake-on-event systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | Higher IQ (120 μA), lower noise (4.8 µVRMS), tighter tempco (10 ppm/°C), SOT23-5 package | Better for noise-sensitive precision DACs; unsuitable for battery life >2 years | Choose when ultra-low noise outweighs quiescent current constraints |
| REF3333AIDBZR | Similar IQ (3.8 μA), higher initial accuracy (±0.05 %), same tempco (30 ppm/°C), SOT23-3 package | Preferred for factory-calibrated instruments needing tighter initial tolerance | Choose when ±0.05 % initial accuracy is mandatory and QFN8 footprint is not required |
Compared with ADR3433ARJZ-R7 and REF3333AIDBZR, TS3333AQPR uniquely balances ultra-low IQ, QFN8 space efficiency, and automotive-grade temperature capability-making it optimal for compact, long-life, wide-temperature embedded systems where moderate noise and ±0.15 % accuracy are acceptable.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TS3333AQPR to regulate at 3.3 V?
The minimum input voltage is 3.5 V, as specified in Table 8 for VIN = 3.5 V to 5.5 V under load conditions. At ±5 mA output current, the dropout voltage is ≤100 mV, meaning the device ceases regulation if input falls below 3.4 V. Operation below 3.5 V is not characterized and may result in degraded accuracy or instability.
Can TS3333AQPR drive a 10 kΩ load directly without external buffering?
Yes. With ±5 mA maximum output current and 3.3 V output, TS3333AQPR can directly drive loads ≥660 Ω (3.3 V ÷ 5 mA). A 10 kΩ load draws only 330 µA, well within spec, and introduces negligible load regulation error (±6 ppm/mA × 0.33 mA ≈ ±2 ppm), preserving accuracy.
Is the QFN8 package of TS3333AQPR RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. Per Section 6 of the DS12001 datasheet, TS3333AQPR uses ST's ECOPACK®2-compliant QFN8 package, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, including SVHC screening. Full compliance documentation is available via ST's quality portal using order code TS3333AQPR.
Does TS3333AQPR require an input capacitor, and if so, what value is recommended?
Yes. Figure 2 shows a 1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) placed close to the IN pin. This minimizes high-frequency noise coupling and stabilizes the input during load transients. ST specifies no minimum CIN, but 1 µF X7R is validated for all performance plots-including line transients (Fig. 13–14) and startup (Fig. 11–12).
