The device is also ideal for calibrating scale factor on high resolution A/D converters. The VRE306 offers superior performance over monolithic references. DESCRIPTION The VRE306 is a low cost, high precision +6V reference. Available in an industry standard 8-pin surface mount package, the device is ideal for upgrading systems that use lower performance references. The device provides ultrastable +6V output with ±0.6mV (0.01%) initial accuracy and a temperature coefficient of 0.6ppm/°C. This improvement in accuracy is made possible by a unique, patented multipoint laser compensation technique. Significant improvements have been made in other performance parameters as well, including initial accuracy, warm-up drift, line regulation, and long-term stability, making the VRE306 series the most accurate reference available in a standard 8-pin SMT package. For enhanced performance, the VRE306 has an external trim option for users who want less than 0.01% initial error. For ultra low noise applications, an external capacitor can be attached between the noise reduction pin and the ground pin. A reference ground pin is provided to eliminate socket contact resistance errors. SELECTION GUIDE Model VRE306AS www.apexanalog.com Initial Error (mV) Temp. Coeff.

A FET current source is used to bias a 6.3V 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 6.0V output. The gain is determined by the resistor networks R3 and R4: G=1 + R4/R3. The 6.3V 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 references. This proprietary network eliminates most of the nonlinearity in the voltage vs. temperature function. By adjusting the slope, a very stable voltage is produced over wide temperature ranges. This network is less than 2% of the overall network resistance so it has a negligible effect on long term stability. The proper connection of the VRE306 series voltage references with the optional trim resistor for initial error and the optional capacitor for noise reduction is shown in Figure 1. The VRE306 reference has the ground terminal brought out on two pins (pin 4 and pin 7) 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 20ppm. By connecting pin 4 to the power supply ground and pin 7 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. Pay careful attention to the circuit layout to avoid noise pickup and voltage drops in the lines.
