Product details
Overview
ZXRE1004ERSTOA 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 over 8µA–20mA supply current, delivers stable output under capacitive loads, and targets precision low-power systems such as battery-powered instrumentation and portable A/D converters.
For engineers reviewing the ZXRE1004ERSTOA datasheet, ZXRE1004ERSTOA pinout, ZXRE1004ERSTOA application, or ZXRE1004ERSTOA equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, tight thermal drift, unconditional stability with capacitive loads, and SOT23 footprint compatibility with legacy references like LT1004 and REF1004.
Technical Context
The ZXRE1004ERSTOA implements a two-terminal shunt-mode bandgap reference architecture, requiring external current source biasing. Its reverse breakdown voltage is trimmed to 1.22V at 100µA, with guaranteed stability across 8µA–20mA operating range and minimal dynamic impedance (0.2Ω typ. at 1mA).
It achieves 20ppm/°C typical TC over –40°C to +85°C via internal curvature compensation, and maintains <1mV output shift from 8µA to 1mA load change-critical for high-resolution data acquisition where reference drift directly impacts ADC accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.22 V ±1% at 100 µA - defines absolute scaling for precision analog signal chains |
| Knee Current | 4 µA typical - enables operation from microamp-level bias sources in energy-constrained designs |
| Temp Coefficient | 20 ppm/°C typical - limits voltage drift to ≤2.5 mV over full industrial temperature range |
| Operating Current | 8 µA to 20 mA - supports wide dynamic range without output collapse or instability |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical at 1 mA - minimizes load-induced error in buffered reference applications |
| Wideband Noise | 60 µV(rms) (10 Hz–10 kHz) - suitable for 16-bit+ ADC reference without additional filtering |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 2.80–3.04 mm length, 1.20–1.40 mm width, 1.12 mm max height; surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode (Input) | Connected to current source; reverse-biased terminal for shunt reference operation |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Output) | Provides stable 1.22V reference voltage; connects to load and feedback nodes |
| Pin 3 | NC / Floating | No internal connection; may be left unconnected or tied to Pin 2 per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unconditional Stability | Maintains regulation with ≥100nF capacitive load-eliminates need for series isolation resistor |
| Low Knee Current | 4µA typical start-up threshold-enables use with high-value bias resistors in coin-cell systems |
| Shunt Architecture | Two-terminal operation simplifies PCB layout and supports floating or ground-referenced topologies |
| RoHS/Green Compliance | Fully lead-free, halogen-free, antimony-free-meets IPC-1752A Class 2 material declarations |

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, 0.5% tolerance, 50ppm/°C TC, 10µA knee current | Higher TC and knee current limit suitability for sub-10µA systems | Prefer when tighter initial tolerance required and thermal drift budget allows >50ppm/°C |
| REF1004CM | 1.2V nominal, 1% tolerance, 50ppm/°C TC, 10µA knee current, SO-8 package | Larger SO-8 footprint and higher quiescent demand reduce portability viability | Select only if board space permits SO-8 and legacy design reuse outweighs micropower advantage |
Compared with LT1004CZ-1.2 and REF1004CM, the ZXRE1004ERSTOA delivers superior thermal stability and half the knee current in a 30% smaller package-making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained portable measurement systems where long-term calibration integrity is critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for reliable regulation?
The ZXRE1004ERSTOA begins regulating at 4µA typical knee current, but guaranteed regulation starts at 8µA across –40°C to +85°C per datasheet Electrical Characteristics table. Below 8µA, output voltage may deviate beyond specified tolerance and temperature coefficient limits.
Can it drive a 100nF capacitor directly without oscillation?
Yes-the device is unconditionally stable and maintains regulation with ≥100nF capacitive load on the cathode, as confirmed in the "Unconditionally Stable" feature and Typical Characteristics plots. No series resistor or isolation is required for standard decoupling.
Is the SOT23-3 pinout compatible with LT1004 or REF1004?
No-LT1004 (TO-92) and REF1004 (SO-8) use different packages and pinouts. The ZXRE1004ERSTOA's SOT23-3 pinout (Anode–Cathode–NC) is not pin-compatible, though its electrical behavior matches those references in shunt-mode operation.
Does this part meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
No-ZXRE1004ERSTOA is not qualified to AEC-Q200. Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., AZR431Q) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing; contact Diodes marketing for qualified variants if automotive qualification is required.
