Detailed Description

Overview

The REF5025-HT devices are low-noise, low-drift, very high precision voltage references. These references can both sink and source, and are very robust with regard to line and load changes.

Feature Description

Output Adjustment Using the TRIM/NR Pin

The REF5025-HT provides a very accurate, factory-trimmed voltage output. However, VOUT can be adjusted using the trim and noise reduction pin (TRIM/NR, pin 5). Figure 24 shows a typical circuit that allows an output adjustment of ±15 mV.

REF5025-HT ai_vout_trim_bos502.gif Figure 24. VOUT Adjustment Using the TRIM/NR Pin

The REF5025-HT allows access to the bandgap through the TRIM/NR pin. Placing a capacitor from the TRIM/NR pin to GND (see Figure 26) in combination with the internal R3 and R4 resistors creates a low-pass filter. A capacitance of 1 μF creates a low-pass filter with the corner frequency between 10 Hz and 20 Hz. Such a filter decreases the overall noise measured on the VOUT pin by half. Higher capacitance results in a lower filter cutoff frequency, further reducing output noise. Use of this capacitor increases start-up time.

Low Temperature Drift

The REF5025-HT is designed for minimal drift error, which is defined as the change in output voltage over temperature. The drift is calculated using the box method, as described by Equation 1:

Equation 1. REF5025-HT q_drift_bos410.gif

Temperature Monitoring

The temperature output terminal (TEMP, pin 3) provides a temperature-dependent voltage output with approximately 60-kΩ source impedance. As seen in Figure 10, the output voltage follows the nominal relationship:

Equation 2. VTEMP PIN = 509 mV + 2.64 × T(°C)

This pin indicates general chip temperature, accurate to approximately ±15°C. Although it is not generally suitable for accurate temperature measurements, it can be used to indicate temperature changes or for temperature compensation of analog circuitry. A temperature change of 30°C corresponds to an approximate 79 mV change in voltage at the TEMP pin.

The TEMP pin has high output impedance (see Functional Block Diagram). Loading this pin with a low-impedance circuit induces a measurement error; however, it does not have any effect on VOUT accuracy. To avoid errors caused by low-impedance loading, buffer the TEMP pin output with a suitable low-temperature drift operational amplifiers, such as the OPA333, OPA335, or OPA376, as shown in Figure 25.

Noise Performance

Typical 0.1-Hz to 10-Hz voltage noise the REF5025-HT is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. The noise voltage increases with output voltage and operating temperature. Additional filtering can improve output noise levels, although take care to ensure the output impedance does not degrade performance.

For additional information about how to minimize noise and maximize performance in mixed-signal applications such as data converters, see Analog Applications Journal articles entitled How a Voltage Reference Affects ADC Performance. Part 1 (SLYT331), How the Voltage Reference Affects ADC Performance, Part 2 (SLYT339), and How the Voltage Reference Affects ADC Performance, Part 3 (SLYT355). This three-part series is available for download from the TI website.

Device Functional Modes

The REF5025-HT is powered on when the voltage on the VIN pin is greater than 3.25 V. The maximum input voltage for the REF5025-HT is 18 V. Use a supply bypass capacitor with a value ranging from 1 μF to 10 μF. The total capacitive load at the output must be between 1 μF to 50 μF to ensure the best output stability.
