VRE205 Series Precision Voltage References provides
ultrastable +5 V outputs with ±0.8 mV initial accuracy
and temperature coefficient as low as 1.33 ppm/°C over
the full military temperature range. This improvement
in accuracy is made possible by a unique, proprietary
multipoint laser compensation technique. Significant
improvements have been made in other performance
parameters as well, including initial accuracy, warm-up
drift, line regulation, and longterm stability, making the
VRE205 series the most accurate and stable 5 V references available.
VRE205 series devices are available in two operating temperature ranges, -25°C to +85°C and -55°C
to +125°C, and two performance grades. All devices
are packaged in 20-terminal ceramic LCC packages
for maximum long-term stability. “M” versions are
screened for high reliability and quality.

3. THEORY OF OPERATION
The following discussion refers to the schematic in Figure 1. A FET current source is used to bias a 6.3 V zener
diode. The zener voltage is divided by the resistor network R1 and R2. This voltage is then applied to the noninverting input of the operational amplifier which amplifies the voltage to produce a 5 V output. The gain is determined by
the resistor networks R3 and R4: G=1 + R4/R3. The 6.3 V zener diode is used because it is the most stable diode
over time and temperature.
The current source provides a closely regulated zener current, which determines the slope of the references’ voltage vs. temperature function. By trimming the zener current a lower drift over temperature can be achieved. But
since the voltage vs. temperature function is nonlinear this compensation technique is not well suited for wide temperature ranges.
A nonlinear compensation network of thermistors and resistors is used in the VRE series voltage. This proprietary
network eliminates most of the nonlinearity in the voltage vs. temperature function. By then adjusting the slope, a
very stable voltage over wide temperature ranges is produced. This network is less than 2% of the overall network
resistance so it has a negligible effect on long term stability. By using highly stable resistors in our network, we produce a voltage reference that also has very good long term stability.

4. APPLICATION INFORMATION
The proper connection of the VRE205 series voltage references with the optional trim resistor is shown below. Pay
careful attention to the circuit layout to avoid noise pickup and voltage drops in the lines.
The VRE205 series voltage references have the ground terminal brought out on two pins (pin 9 and pin 10) which
are connected together internally. This allows the user to achieve greater accuracy when using a socket. Voltage
references have a voltage drop across their power supply ground pin due to quiescent current flowing through the
contact resistance. If the contact resistance was constant with time and temperature, this voltage drop could be
trimmed out. When the reference is plugged into a socket, this source of error can be as high as 20 ppm. By connecting pin 10 to the power supply ground and pin 9 to a high impedance ground point in the measurement circuit,
the error due to the contact resistance can be eliminated. If the unit is soldered into place, the contact resistance is
sufficiently small that it does not effect performance.
