Product details
Overview
ZRC330F01TA from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 3.3 V bandgap voltage reference IC in SOT23-3 package, featuring ±1% initial tolerance, 15 µA typical knee current, 0.6 Ω typical slope resistance, and stable operation without external capacitor-used in battery-powered instrumentation and precision power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ZRC330F01TA datasheet, ZRC330F01TA pinout, ZRC330F01TA application, or ZRC330F01TA equivalent, key selection criteria include low-knee-current operation (15 µA typ), industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 75 µVrms wideband noise, and SOT23-3 footprint compatibility with space-constrained portable systems.
Technical Context
The ZRC330F01TA implements a bandgap-based reverse-breakdown architecture delivering a fixed 3.3 V reference with minimal dependence on load current or supply variations. Its low dynamic impedance (0.5–1.2 Ω at 1 mA) and fast transient response (<5 µs stabilization) support high-accuracy ADC biasing and crystal oscillator voltage regulation.
Designed for micropower operation, it maintains specified accuracy across 20 µA–5 mA load current while tolerating transient surges up to 200 mA. Temperature coefficient is 15–50 ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C, enabling use in unregulated environments without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 3.3 V ±1% (tight initial accuracy enables direct replacement of higher-cost references in 12-bit ADC references) |
| Knee Current | 15 µA typical (enables stable regulation down to ultra-low-power sleep modes) |
| Slope Resistance | 0.6 Ω typical (minimizes output voltage shift under load transients) |
| Temp Coefficient | 15–50 ppm/°C (supports industrial-grade measurement accuracy without calibration) |
| Wideband Noise | 75 µVrms, 10 Hz–10 kHz (low enough for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without filtering) |
| Operating Current | 20 µA to 5 mA (covers standby to active measurement phases in portable meters) |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with no external capacitor (reduces BOM count and PCB area in compact designs) |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, gull-wing leads; RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode / Input | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to unregulated supply rail or current source |
| 2 | Cathode / Output | Provides regulated 3.3 V reference; low-impedance output node for load connection |
| 3 | GND / Case | Ground reference terminal; electrically tied to cathode internally; must be low-impedance path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Eliminates 1–2 passive components and associated layout sensitivity in space-constrained metering PCBs |
| Low knee current (15 µA) | Enables accurate reference operation during microcontroller deep-sleep states with <20 µA system current |
| Fast turn-on time (<5 µs) | Supports burst-mode sampling in data acquisition systems without reference settling delay penalties |
| Robust surge rating (200 mA) | Withstands ESD events and inrush transients without degradation in battery-backed instrumentation |
| Green molding compound | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free requirements for environmental compliance in EU/Asia markets |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Multimeters | Precision Data Loggers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Handheld digital multimeter operating from two AA cells with auto-ranging and 4½-digit resolution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage reference for 24-bit sigma-delta ADC and internal DAC calibration. Use Value: ±1% tolerance and 50 ppm/°C TC ensure full-scale accuracy remains within 0.1% over –10°C to +50°C ambient without factory recalibration. | Use Scenario: Industrial temperature/humidity logger with 10-year battery life and 16-bit sensor interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable excitation source for precision RTD and bridge sensor front-ends. Use Value: 15 µA knee current allows continuous reference bias during 30-second sleep cycles, minimizing wake-up latency and power overhead. |
| Portable Oscilloscope Probes | Calibration Standards for Field Test Sets |
Use Scenario: Active 10× oscilloscope probe with integrated gain-setting DAC and offset trim. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reference for on-probe DAC and analog front-end offset correction circuitry. Use Value: 0.6 Ω slope resistance ensures <1 mV output shift when probe bias current varies between 100 µA and 2 mA during bandwidth switching. | Use Scenario: Benchtop field calibration unit verifying handheld DMMs and clamp meters in utility substations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary reference in traceable 3.3 V output stage, backed by primary metrology-grade standard. Use Value: 75 µVrms noise floor avoids contribution to overall uncertainty budget below 10 ppm in 1-second integration measurements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6033AESA+ | Higher initial accuracy (±0.1%), but requires 1 µF bypass capacitor and minimum 30 µA operating current | Not suitable for sub-20 µA sleep modes; better for lab-grade instruments with ample board space | Select when absolute accuracy > stability at ultra-low current is prioritized |
| TLV431AIDBVR | Adjustable reference (1.24–6 V), 2% tolerance, 0.3 Ω slope resistance, but 80 µA min operating current | Requires external resistor divider; unsuitable for fixed 3.3 V systems without added components | Select only if programmability or cost sensitivity outweighs fixed-voltage simplicity |
Compared with MAX6033AESA+ and TLV431AIDBVR, the ZRC330F01TA uniquely balances ±1% accuracy, 15 µA knee current, and capacitor-free operation-making it optimal for compact, battery-operated equipment where BOM count and standby power are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the ZRC330F01TA can drive without oscillation?
The ZRC330F01TA is explicitly characterized as stable with any capacitive load and requires no external capacitor for stability. Diodes' datasheet confirms unconditional stability up to 10 µF, verified across temperature and current ranges. This eliminates need for output filtering in portable applications where PCB real estate is constrained.
Can ZRC330F01TA be used in series with a current-limiting resistor for higher input voltages?
Yes-the device is rated for 20 V maximum reverse voltage and withstands transient currents up to 200 mA. When biased via a series resistor from a 12 V rail, a 2.2 kΩ resistor limits worst-case current to ~4.1 mA at 25°C, well within its 5 mA recommended operating range and 25 mA absolute max rating.
How does the 15 µA knee current impact system-level power budgeting?
The 15 µA knee current is the minimum current at which the device maintains regulation within specification. In systems drawing <20 µA total quiescent current, this ensures the reference remains active and accurate during deep-sleep modes-enabling wake-on-event architectures without reference re-stabilization delays or accuracy loss.
Is the ZRC330F01TA compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOT23-3 package uses lead-free terminations and green molding compound compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1. It supports standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak, with no special pre-bake required, making it suitable for high-volume automated assembly.
