REF29xx 100 ppm/°C, 50 µA in 3-Pin SOT-23 CMOS Voltage Reference
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
The REF29xx is a precision, low-power, low-voltage
dropout voltage reference family available in a tiny
3‑pin SOT-23 package.
1
MicroSIZE Package: SOT-23
Low Dropout: 1 mV
High Output Current: 25 mA
Low Temperature Drift: Maximum of 100 ppm/°C
High Accuracy: 2%
Low IQ: Maximum of 50 µA
The small size and low power consumption (50 µA
maximum) of the REF29xx make it ideal for portable
and battery-powered applications. The REF29xx does
not require a load capacitor, but it is stable with any
capacitive load.
2 Applications
•
•
•
•
Unloaded, the REF29xx can be operated with
supplies within 1 mV of output voltage. All models are
specified for the wide temperature range, –40°C to
125°C.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The REF29xx is a series, CMOS, precision band-gap voltage reference. Its basic topology is shown in Functional
Block Diagram. The transistors Q1 and Q2 are biased such that the current density of Q1 is greater than that of
Q2. The difference of the two base-emitter voltages, Vbe1 – Vbe2, has a positive temperature coefficient and is
forced across resistor R1. This voltage is gained up and added to the base-emitter voltage of Q2, which has a
negative coefficient. The resulting output voltage is virtually independent of temperature. The curvature of the
band-gap voltage, as seen in Figure 3, is due to the slightly nonlinear temperature coefficient of the base-emitter
voltage of Q2.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Supply Voltage
The REF29xx family of references features an extremely low dropout voltage. With the exception of the
REF2912, which has a minimum supply requirement of 1.8 V, the REF29xx can be operated with a supply of
only 1 mV above the output voltage in an unloaded condition. For loaded conditions, see Dropout Voltage vs
Load Current.
The REF29xx features a low quiescent current, which is extremely stable over changes in both temperature and
supply. The typical room temperature quiescent current is 42 µA, and the maximum quiescent current over
temperature is just 59 µA. Additionally, the quiescent current typically changes less than 2.5 µA over the entire
supply range, as shown in Figure 25.

Feature Description (continued)
Supply voltages below the specified levels can cause the REF29xx to momentarily draw currents greater than
the typical quiescent current. Using a power supply with a fast rising edge and low output impedance easily
prevents this.
8.3.2 Thermal Hysteresis
Thermal hysteresis for the REF29xx is defined as the change in output voltage after operating the device at
25°C, cycling the device through the specified temperature range, and returning to 25°C, and can be expressed
as shown in Equation 1.

VPOST = output voltage measured when device has been operated at 25°C, cycled through specified range
–40°C to 125°C and returned to operation at 25°C
(1)
8.3.3 Temperature Drift
The REF29xx is designed to exhibit minimal drift error, defined as the change in output voltage over varying
temperature. Using the box method of drift measurement, the REF29xx features a typical drift coefficient of 20
ppm from 0°C to 70°C— the primary temperature range of use for many applications. For industrial temperature
ranges of –40°C to 125°C, the REF29xx family drift increases to a typical value of 50 ppm.
8.3.4 Noise Performance
The REF29xx generates noise less than 50 µVPP between frequencies of 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz, and can be seen in
Figure 20. The noise voltage of the REF29xx increases with output voltage and operating temperature. Additional
filtering may be used to improve output noise levels, however, take care ensuring the output impedance does not
degrade AC performance.
8.3.5 Long-Term Stability
Long-term stability refers to the change of the output voltage of a reference over a period of months or years.
This effect lessens as time progresses as is apparent by the long-term stability curves. The typical drift value for
the REF29xx is 24 ppm from 0 to 1000 hours, and 15 ppm from 1000 to 2000 hours. This parameter is
characterized by measuring 30 units at regular intervals for a period of 2000 hours.
8.3.6 Load Regulation
Load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage due to changes in load current. Load regulation for the
REF29xx is measured using force and sense contacts as pictured in Figure 26. The force and sense lines tied to
the contact area of the output pin reduce the impact of contact and trace resistance, resulting in accurate
measurement of the load regulation contributed solely by the REF29xx. For applications requiring improved load
regulation, force and sense lines must be used.

8.4.1 Negative Reference Voltage
For applications requiring a negative and positive reference voltage, the OPA703 and REF29xx can be used to
provide a dual-supply reference from a ±5-V supply. Figure 27 shows the REF2925 used to provide a ±2.5-V
supply reference voltage. The low offset voltage and low drift of the OPA703 complement the low drift
performance of the REF29xx to provide an accurate solution for split-supply applications.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
For normal operation, the REF29xx does not require a capacitor on the output. If a capacitive load is connected,
take special care when using low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors and high capacitance. This
precaution is especially true for low-output voltage devices; therefore, for the REF2912 use a low-ESR
capacitance of 10 µF or less. Figure 29 shows the typical connections required for operation of the REF29xx. TI
always recommends a supply bypass capacitor of 0.47 µF.

9.2 Typical Application
Figure 30 shows a low-power reference and conditioning circuit. This circuit attenuates and level-shifts a bipolar
input voltage within the proper input range of a single-supply low-power 16-bit ΔΣ ADC, such as the one inside
the MSP430 or other similar single-supply ADCs. Precision reference circuits are used to level-shift the input
signal, provide the ADC reference voltage and to create a well-regulated supply voltage for the low-power analog
circuitry. A low-power, zero-drift, operational amplifier circuit is used to attenuate and level-shift the input signal.

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.1 Design Requirements
• Supply Voltage: 3.3 V
• Maximum Input Voltage: ±6 V
• Specified Input Voltage: ±5 V
• ADC Reference Voltage: 1.25 V
The goal for this design is to accurately condition a ±5-V bipolar input voltage into a voltage suitable for
conversion by a low-voltage ADC with a 1.25-V reference voltage, VREF, and an input voltage range of VREF / 2.
The circuit should function with reduced performance over a wider input range of at least ±6 V to allow for easier
protection of overvoltage conditions.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 30 depicts a simplified schematic for this design showing the MSP430 ADC inputs and full inputconditioning circuitry. The ADC is configured for a bipolar measurement where final conversion result is the
differential voltage between the voltage at the positive and negative ADC inputs. The bipolar, GND referenced
input signal must be level-shifted and attenuated by the operational amplifier so that the output is biased to VREF /
2 and has a differential voltage that is within the ±VREF / 2 input range of the ADC.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The REF29xx family of references feature an extremely low-dropout voltage. These references can be operated
with a supply of only 50 mV above the output voltage. For loaded reference conditions, see Dropout Voltage vs
Load Current. Use a supply bypass capacitor greater than 0.47 µF.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 34 illustrates an example of a printed-circuit board (PCB) layout using the REF29xx. Some key
considerations are:
• Connect low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors at VIN of the REF29xx
• Decouple other active devices in the system per the device specifications
• Use a solid ground plane to help distribute heat and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise pickup
• Place the external components as close to the device as possible. This configuration prevents parasitic errors
(such as the Seebeck effect) from occurring
• Minimize trace length between the reference and bias connections to the INA and ADC to reduce noise
pickup
• Do not run sensitive analog traces in parallel with digital traces. Avoid crossing digital and analog traces if
possible, and only make perpendicular crossings when absolutely necessary
