Product details
Overview
ZXRE1004DRSTOB from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower (4µA typical knee current), 1.22V bandgap voltage reference in SOT23 package, with 1% initial tolerance and 20ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient. It operates stably from 8µA to 20mA supply current and supports precision analog functions in space-constrained, battery-powered systems such as portable instrumentation and data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ZXRE1004DRSTOB datasheet, ZXRE1004DRSTOB pinout, ZXRE1004DRSTOB application, or ZXRE1004DRSTOB equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, capacitive-load immunity, tight thermal drift, and compatibility with legacy references like LT1004 and LM385 in SOT23 footprint.
Technical Context
The ZXRE1004DRSTOB implements a two-terminal shunt-mode bandgap reference architecture, requiring external current source biasing and delivering stable 1.22V output across 8µA–20mA operating range. Its unconditionally stable design tolerates unlimited capacitive loading without oscillation.
It achieves 20ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C via curvature-compensated bandgap core and laser-trimmed resistive elements. Reverse breakdown voltage variation is specified at ±1% (1.208V to 1.232V) at 25°C with IR = 100µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.22 V nominal; ±1% tolerance ensures ≤12.2 mV absolute error at 25°C for precision ADC/DAC biasing |
| Knee Current | 4 µA typical; enables operation from micro-power sources like coin cells or energy-harvesting circuits |
| Temp Coefficient | 20 ppm/°C typical; limits drift to ≤1.7 mV over –40°C to +85°C ambient range |
| Operating Current | 8 µA to 20 mA; supports wide dynamic range while maintaining regulation and noise performance |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical at 1 mA; minimizes load-induced voltage shift in high-precision feedback paths |
| Wideband Noise | 60 µV(rms) (10 Hz–10 kHz); suitable for 16-bit+ data converters without additional filtering |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 2.80 × 2.64 × 1.12 mm body, surface-mount, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.

| Cathode (Pin 2) | Reference output / ground reference | Provides regulated 1.22V relative to system ground; serves as precision voltage node for ADC REF, DAC bias, or comparator threshold |
| No-connect (Pin 3) | Unused terminal | Internally floating; must be left unconnected per datasheet - not tied to Pin 1 or ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1004CZ-1.2 | 1.2V nominal, 1% tolerance, 50ppm/°C TC, 10µA knee current, TO-92 package | Through-hole mounting; higher TC and knee current limit low-power portables | Select when legacy TO-92 footprint required and thermal drift budget allows ≥50ppm/°C |
| LM385BZ-1.2 | 1.235V nominal, 1% tolerance, 100ppm/°C TC, 20µA knee current, TO-92 | Higher nominal voltage and TC; less suitable for 16-bit+ systems below 85°C | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-precision applications where 1.235V offset and wider drift acceptable |
Compared with LT1004CZ-1.2 and LM385BZ-1.2, the ZXRE1004DRSTOB delivers tighter thermal stability (20 vs. 50/100 ppm/°C), lower operating current (4µA vs. 10/20µA), and SOT23 surface-mount compatibility - making it optimal for modern compact, battery-critical designs requiring long-term accuracy.

FAQ
What is the correct biasing configuration for ZXRE1004DRSTOB?
The ZXRE1004DRSTOB is a two-terminal shunt reference: connect anode (Pin 1) to the positive supply through a current-setting resistor, and cathode (Pin 2) to system ground. Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must remain floating. Minimum bias current is 8µA; typical operating current is 100µA–1mA for optimal noise and stability.
Does ZXRE1004DRSTOB require an output capacitor?
No external capacitor is required for stability - the device is unconditionally stable with any capacitive load, including 0–10µF ceramic or tantalum types. Adding a 100nF capacitor at the cathode improves high-frequency PSRR but does not affect loop stability or regulation integrity.
How does ZXRE1004DRSTOB compare to REF1004 in SOT23 form factor?
ZXRE1004DRSTOB matches REF1004's 1.2V nominal output and SOT23-3 footprint but offers tighter 20ppm/°C TC (vs. REF1004's 50ppm/°C), lower 4µA knee current (vs. 10µA), and improved 60µVrms noise (vs. REF1004's 80µVrms). It is pin-compatible and functionally superior in micropower precision applications.
Is ZXRE1004DRSTOB qualified for automotive use?
No - ZXRE1004DRSTOB is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is intended for industrial and consumer applications. Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., AP2112K) for safety-critical systems; contact Diodes marketing for AEC-Q100-compliant voltage reference options.
