Product details
Overview
ZRC330F02TA from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 3.3 V bandgap voltage reference IC with ±2% initial tolerance, 15 µA typical knee current, 0.6 Ω typical slope resistance, and stable operation from 20 µA to 5 mA-designed for low-power portable instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZRC330F02TA datasheet, ZRC330F02TA pinout, ZRC330F02TA application, or ZRC330F02TA equivalent, key selection criteria include low-knee-current operation, capacitor-free stability, microsecond-scale transient response, and SOT23-3 package compatibility in space-constrained analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The ZRC330F02TA implements a trimmed bandgap core with internal curvature compensation, delivering stable 3.3 V output across –40°C to +85°C without external stabilization components. Its low 0.6 Ω slope resistance and 75 µVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) noise support high-accuracy ADC biasing and precision oscillator regulation.
It operates reliably under capacitive loads and withstands transient currents up to 200 mA due to rugged 20 V process design, while maintaining <50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over full industrial temperature range at 150 µA–5 mA bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±2% at 150 µA - enables direct interface with 3.3 V ADC references and LDO feedback networks |
| Knee Current | 15 µA typical - allows stable regulation down to ultra-low-power sleep modes |
| Slope Resistance | 0.6 Ω typical - minimizes load-induced voltage shift in varying current conditions |
| Tempco | 15–50 ppm/°C - ensures ≤±10 mV drift over –40°C to +85°C in metering applications |
| Wideband Noise | 75 µVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - supports sub-12-bit measurement accuracy without post-filtering |
| Transient Response | Stabilizes in <5 µs - maintains reference integrity during fast wake-up or sampling bursts |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, with gull-wing leads and green molding compound (Br/Sb-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC or GND tie | Internally unconnected; may be tied to Pin 2 for improved thermal symmetry in PCB layout |
| 2 | GND | Reference ground return path; must connect to clean analog ground plane for noise control |
| 3 | VR (Anode) | 3.3 V output terminal; reverse-biased zener configuration - connects to load or feedback node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables single-component reference solution in area-limited PCBs, eliminating BOM and layout overhead |
| Low 15 µA knee current | Permits operation in energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered systems where quiescent current is critical |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps or crystal oscillator load caps without oscillation risk |
| 200 mA surge current rating | Withstands ESD transients and inrush events without degradation, improving field reliability |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable Meters | Precision Data Acquisition Front-Ends |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage reference for 16-bit sigma-delta ADC and display driver biasing. Use Value: 15 µA knee current extends battery life >2× vs. legacy references; ±2% tolerance eliminates factory calibration per unit. | Use Scenario: Industrial sensor nodes digitizing thermocouple or strain gauge outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable excitation and reference source for ratiometric measurement architecture. Use Value: 0.6 Ω slope resistance limits gain error to <0.02% across 100 µA–3 mA sensor drive current range. |
| Crystal Oscillator Bias Networks | Low-Power Precision Power Supplies |
Use Scenario: TCXO modules requiring stable 3.3 V bias for varactor tuning and amplifier stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise voltage reference for oscillator core biasing and temperature compensation DAC reference. Use Value: 75 µVrms noise contributes <0.1 ppb phase jitter floor, preserving short-term stability. | Use Scenario: Medical wearable devices using buck-boost regulators with tight output tolerance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Feedback reference for adjustable LDO or switching regulator error amplifier. Use Value: Capacitor-free stability simplifies layout in dense wearable PCBs; 5 µs settling avoids regulation delay during mode transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV431AIDBVR | Adjustable (1.24–6 V), 2% tolerance, 80 µA min cathode current, higher 1.5 Ω dynamic impedance | Requires external resistor divider; less suitable for fixed 3.3 V systems with strict size constraints | Choose when programmability or tighter tempco (50 ppm/°C max) outweighs SOT23-3 footprint advantage |
| MAX6033AESA+ | Fixed 3.3 V, 0.5% tolerance, 10 µA max quiescent current, but requires 1 µF bypass capacitor | Superior accuracy and lower IQ, but adds capacitor BOM item and layout area | Prefer when system-level accuracy budget demands <±10 mV and board space permits decoupling cap |
Compared with TLV431AIDBVR and MAX6033AESA+, the ZRC330F02TA uniquely combines fixed 3.3 V output, capacitor-free operation, and SOT23-3 footprint-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and ultra-low-power applications where ±2% tolerance is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for stable regulation of ZRC330F02TA?
The ZRC330F02TA achieves stable regulation at 15 µA typical knee current, with guaranteed operation starting at 20 µA across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. Below 20 µA, output voltage may deviate beyond ±2% tolerance, especially at temperature extremes.
Can ZRC330F02TA drive a 1000 pF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes-the ZRC330F02TA is explicitly characterized as stable with capacitive loads and requires no external compensation. Diodes' datasheet confirms stability up to at least 1000 pF, making it suitable for direct connection to ADC input capacitors and crystal oscillator load networks.
Is Pin 1 of the SOT23 package electrically connected internally?
No-Pin 1 is internally unconnected (NC) in the ZRC330F02TA. The datasheet states it may be left floating or tied to Pin 2 (GND) to improve thermal symmetry and reduce thermal EMF errors in precision layouts, but it carries no functional signal.
How does ZRC330F02TA perform under transient current surges?
The ZRC330F02TA withstands transient currents up to 200 mA due to its rugged 20 V process design. Transient response testing shows full recovery within 5 µs after a single 100 mA pulse, with no parameter shift or latch-up observed-critical for ESD-prone or switching regulator-coupled systems.
