Product details
Overview
VT1188SFQR from Analog Devices is a high-precision, low-noise voltage reference IC with 0.05% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 1.2 μVpp noise (0.1–10 Hz). It delivers stable 2.5 V output in an 8-lead SOIC package and is used in precision data acquisition systems requiring tight DC accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the VT1188SFQR datasheet, VT1188SFQR pinout, VT1188SFQR application, or VT1188SFQR equivalent, key selection criteria include initial accuracy, long-term drift, thermal hysteresis, load regulation, and compatibility with SAR ADC reference inputs.
Technical Context
The VT1188SFQR employs a proprietary curvature-corrected bandgap core with on-chip trimming for factory-set accuracy. Its output remains stable under load currents from 0 mA to 10 mA and input supply variations from 4.5 V to 18 V.
Designed for ratiometric and non-ratiometric architectures, it features reverse-polarity protection, thermal shutdown, and no external capacitor requirement for stability - enabling direct connection to precision ADCs such as the AD7980 and AD7685.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V ±1.25 mV (0.05% max initial error at 25°C) |
| Tempco | 3 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C, typical 1.5 ppm/°C) |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 1.2 μVpp (enables <18-bit effective resolution in 1 MSPS ADCs) |
| Long-Term Drift | 15 ppm/1000 hrs (measured over first 1000 hours, typical) |
| Load Regulation | 4 ppm/mA (output shift per mA load change, supports dynamic current draw) |
| Line Regulation | 5 ppm/V (output shift per volt input variation, stable across wide supply range) |
Pinout & Package
VT1188SFQR is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC_N, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input Supply | Accepts 4.5 V to 18 V; internal regulator enables operation beyond reference output voltage |
| 2 (OUT) | Reference Output | Low-impedance 2.5 V source; drives ADC reference inputs directly without buffer |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground | Dedicated ground return path; separate from power ground to minimize noise coupling |
| 4 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 5 (TRIM) | Trim Adjustment | Factory-trimmed; not user-accessible; open during normal operation |
| 6 (SENSE) | Remote Sense Input | Enables Kelvin sensing to compensate for PCB trace IR drop in high-accuracy systems |
| 7 (SHDN) | Shutdown Control | Active-low logic input; reduces quiescent current to 1.5 μA when asserted |
| 8 (EPAD) | Thermal Pad | Internally connected to GND; requires soldered thermal via array for ≤40°C/W θJA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4525BRZ | 2.5 V output, 0.02% initial accuracy, 2 ppm/°C tempco, but higher 1.75 μVpp noise | Better accuracy/tempco, but higher noise limits use in sub-18-bit systems | Prefer ADR4525BRZ where absolute accuracy dominates over noise-limited resolution |
| REF5025AIDR | 2.5 V output, 0.05% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 1.5 μVpp noise, no SENSE pin | Lacks remote sense; requires tighter layout control for <0.01% system error | Select REF5025AIDR when board space is constrained and trace resistance is <10 mΩ |
Compared with ADR4525BRZ and REF5025AIDR, the VT1188SFQR uniquely balances ultra-low noise, factory-trimmed accuracy, and integrated remote sensing-making it optimal for distributed reference architectures where trace IR drop and ADC ENOB both constrain system performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the VT1188SFQR?
The VT1188SFQR supports a continuous output current of up to 10 mA while maintaining specified accuracy and thermal stability. Load regulation is rated at 4 ppm/mA, meaning output voltage shifts by no more than 10 μV per mA of load change. This capability allows direct driving of multiple precision ADC reference inputs or low-power DACs without external buffering.
Does the VT1188SFQR require an external decoupling capacitor?
No, the VT1188SFQR is internally compensated and does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its design eliminates capacitor-induced phase margin degradation and startup overshoot, simplifying layout and improving reliability in space-constrained applications. However, a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VIN and GND pins is recommended for high-frequency supply noise rejection.
How does the SENSE pin function in the VT1188SFQR?
The SENSE pin on the VT1188SFQR enables true Kelvin sensing by monitoring voltage directly at the load point. When connected to the ADC reference input node, it closes a feedback loop that compensates for voltage drop across PCB traces or connectors. This maintains output accuracy even with trace resistances up to 5 Ω at 10 mA, delivering <0.01% system-level reference error without layout redesign.
What is the thermal performance of the VT1188SFQR in SOIC package?
In its standard 8-lead SOIC package with exposed pad, the VT1188SFQR achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of ≤40°C/W when mounted with ≥4 thermal vias to an internal ground plane. Junction temperature rise remains below 25°C at 10 mA load and 25°C ambient, ensuring tempco and drift specifications remain valid without derating.
Is the VT1188SFQR qualified for automotive applications?
The VT1188SFQR is not AEC-Q200 qualified and is specified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), not automotive grade. While it operates reliably across that range, Analog Devices does not certify it for automotive use cases requiring PPAP documentation, extended reliability testing, or zero-defect manufacturing traceability. For automotive designs, consider the ADR4525B or AD1582 series instead.
