Product details
Overview
ZXRE330ASA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision 3.3V shunt voltage reference in SOT23 package, featuring ±0.5% initial tolerance at +25°C, 20ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient, 55µVRMS noise (10Hz–10kHz), 1µA to 5mA operating current range, and stable operation with capacitive loads - used in battery-powered instrumentation and low-current voltage clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZXRE330ASA-7 datasheet, ZXRE330ASA-7 pinout, ZXRE330ASA-7 application, or ZXRE330ASA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include knee current behavior, load-capacitance immunity, long-term stability (≤100ppm over 1000 hours), thermal hysteresis (0.08%), and compatibility with high-impedance sensing nodes in portable power management systems.
Technical Context
The ZXRE330ASA-7 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, requiring only an external series resistor to regulate output voltage. Its sharp knee characteristic enables reliable regulation down to 1µA, with off-state reverse current ≤1µA at VR × 0.9.
It maintains ±0.6mV voltage drift across –40°C to +85°C at 100µA bias and exhibits <2Ω dynamic impedance at 2mA/120Hz - enabling high-accuracy feedback in low-power ADC references and sensor excitation circuits without output capacitor stabilization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 3.3V nominal; tight ±0.5% tolerance at +25°C ensures minimal calibration overhead in precision analog front-ends. |
| Tempco | ±20ppm/°C (typ); supports <±2.6mV total drift over –40°C to +85°C at 100µA, critical for unheated field instruments. |
| Noise | 55µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); low enough to avoid degrading 16-bit SAR ADC performance in portable data loggers. |
| Operating Current | 1µA to 5mA; ultra-low 1µA minimum enables operation from microampere-level energy harvesters or coin-cell sources. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 2Ω at 2mA/120Hz; ensures stable regulation under transient load steps in battery-monitoring comparators. |
| Long-Term Stability | ≤100ppm over 1000 hours; reduces recalibration frequency in sealed industrial sensors. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08%; minimizes repeatability error during thermal cycling in automotive cabin modules. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB); die attached to pin 3, requiring pin 3 to be left floating or tied to pin 2 per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Common return path for cathode current; must connect to system ground with low-impedance trace. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output reference terminal | Provides regulated 3.3V; connects to feedback node of op-amp or ADC reference input. |
| Die Attach (Pin 3) | Internal substrate connection | Electrically tied to pin 2; must not be driven independently - floating or shorted to pin 2 only. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Stable with ≥100nF capacitive loads due to internal compensation - eliminates BOM cost and board space for decoupling cap. |
| Low knee current | Maintains regulation down to 1µA - enables use in ultra-low-power wake-up circuits and energy-harvesting systems. |
| High accuracy grade | ±0.5% initial tolerance (ZXRE330A) - reduces factory trim time and improves yield in medical sensor calibrations. |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Immune to instability up to 10µF - supports direct connection to ADC reference inputs with on-chip sampling capacitors. |
| Lead-free & green | Fully RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free - meets IPC-J-STD-609 Class 3 requirements for automotive and medical end equipment. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Instrumentation | Precision Data Acquisition |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431AIDBZR | 2.5V fixed reference; ±0.5% tolerance; higher 80µA min operating current; 3-pin adjustable topology. | Requires external resistors to set 3.3V; unsuitable for ultra-low-power (<10µA) systems. | Select when adjustable output or higher sink current (>100mA) is needed; avoid where 1µA knee current is mandatory. |
| REF3033AIDBZR | 3.3V series reference; ±0.2% tolerance; 50µA quiescent current; requires output capacitor. | Three-terminal architecture increases PCB area and BOM count; sensitive to output capacitance ESR. | Prefer for highest initial accuracy and lower noise floor (25µVRMS); reject if board space or capacitor count is constrained. |
Compared with TLVH431AIDBZR and REF3033AIDBZR, the ZXRE330ASA-7 uniquely delivers 3.3V precision regulation at sub-microampere currents without external components - making it irreplaceable in energy-harvesting sensors and maintenance-free battery systems where every nanoampere matters.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for stable regulation?
The ZXRE330ASA-7 maintains regulation down to 1µA, verified across –40°C to +85°C. Below this, output voltage drops sharply - confirmed by Figure 3 (Minimal Operating Current) in DS36772 Rev 4-2. This enables use in micropower wake-up circuits where supply current must remain below 2µA during standby.
Can ZXRE330ASA-7 drive a 1000pF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes - the device is explicitly characterized for stability with ≥100nF capacitive loads (Section "Application Information"), and its internal compensation ensures no phase margin degradation up to 10µF. No external capacitor is required, even when driving ADC sample-and-hold inputs with 1000pF effective capacitance.
How does pin 3 function in the SOT23 package?
In the SOT23-3 package, pin 3 is the die attach pad electrically connected to pin 2 (cathode). Per datasheet page 5, it must be left floating or shorted to pin 2 - never driven independently or grounded. This avoids unintended current paths that degrade reference accuracy or cause thermal runaway.
Is ZXRE330ASA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - ZXRE330ASA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., ZXRE330AV-A in TO92) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but the -7 suffix indicates commercial-grade SOT23 packaging intended for industrial and portable consumer applications.
