REF62xx High-Precision Voltage Reference With Integrated ADC Drive Buffer
1 Features
3 Description
•
The voltage references in the REF6000 family have
an integrated low output impedance buffer that
enables the user to directly drive the reference (REF)
pin of precision data converters, while preserving
linearity, distortion, and noise performance. Most
precision SAR and delta-sigma analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), switch binary-weighted capacitors
onto the REF pin during the conversion process. In
order to support this dynamic load, the output of the
voltage reference must be buffered with a low-output
impedance, high-bandwidth buffer. The REF6000
family devices are well suited, but not limited, to drive
the REF pin of the ADS88xx family of SAR ADCs,
and ADS127xx family of delta-sigma ADCs, as well
as precision digital-to-analog converters (DACs).

Precision Data Acquisition Systems
The REF6000 family of is able to maintain an output
voltage within 1LSB (18-bit) with minimal droop, even
during the first conversion while driving the REF pin
of the ADS8881. This feature is useful in burst-mode,
event-triggered, equivalent-time sampling, and
variable-sampling-rate data-acquisition systems. The
REF62xx variants of REF6000 family specify a
maximum temperature drift of just 3 ppm/°C and
initial accuracy of 0.05% for both the voltage
reference and the low output impedance buffer
combined. For various temperature drift options in
REF6000 family, see the Device Comparison Table.

8 Parameter Measurement Information
8.1 Solder Heat Shift
The materials used in the manufacture of the REF62xx have differing coefficients of thermal expansion, and
result in stress on the device die when the part is heated. Mechanical and thermal stress on the device die
sometimes causes the output voltages to shift, degrading the initial accuracy specifications of the product. Reflow
soldering is a common cause of this error.
In order to illustrate this effect, a total of 128 devices were soldered on eight printed circuit boards (PCBs), with
16 devices on each PCB, using lead-free solder paste, and the manufacturer-suggested reflow profile. The reflow
profile is as shown in Figure 39. The printed circuit board is comprised of FR4 material. The board thickness is
1.65 mm and the area is 101.6 mm × 127 mm.
The reference output voltage is measured before and after the reflow process; the typical shift is displayed in
Figure 40. Although all tested units exhibit very low shifts (< 0.03%), higher shifts are also possible depending on
the size, thickness, and material of the PCB.
The histogram displays the typical shift for exposure to a single reflow profile. Exposure to multiple reflows, as is
common on PCBs with surface-mount components on both sides, causes additional shifts in the output bias
voltage. If the PCB is exposed to multiple reflows, solder the device in the final pass to minimize exposure to
thermal stress.

8.2 Thermal Hysteresis
Thermal hysteresis for the device 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. Thermal hysteresis was
measured with the REF62xx soldered to a PCB, similar to a real-world application. The PCB was baked at 150°C
for 30 minutes before thermal hysteresis was measured. Thermal hysteresis is expressed as:
§ VPRE VPOST ·
6
VHYST
¨¨
¸¸ x 10 (ppm)
V
NOM
©
¹
where
•
•
•
•
VHYST = thermal hysteresis (in units of ppm).
VNOM = the specified output voltage.
VPRE = output voltage measured at 25°C pretemperature cycling.
VPOST = output voltage measured after the device has cycled from 25°C through the specified temperature
range of 0°C to 70°C and returns to 25°C.

Typical thermal hysteresis distribution is shown in Figure 41 and Figure 42.

Many applications, such as event-triggered and multiplexed data-acquisition systems, require the very first
conversion of the ADC to have 18-bit or greater precision. These types of data-acquisition systems capture data
in bursts, and are also called burst-mode, data-acquisition systems. Achieving 18-bit precision for the first sample
is a very difficult using a conventional voltage reference because the voltage reference droop limits the accuracy
of the first few conversions. The REF62xx have an integrated ADC drive buffer that makes sure the reference
droop is less than 1 LSB at 18-bit precision when used with the ADS8881, even at full throughput. Figure 43 and
Figure 44 show the REF62xx output voltage droop when driving the REF pin of the ADS8881 at positive and
negative full-scale inputs, respectively.

Figure 44. Output Voltage Droop
Direct measurement of the reference droop to 18-bit accuracy can be a challenging process. Therefore, the plots
in Figure 43 and Figure 44 were obtained by processing the output code of the ADC. The ADC output code is
given by:
C = (Input Voltage / VREF) × 2N
(2)
If the input voltage is kept constant, VREF is computed by monitoring the ADC output code C. The ADC code
usually has six to seven LSBs of code spread due to the inherent noise of the ADC. In order to measure
reference droop, this noise must be reduced drastically. Noise reduction is done by averaging the output code
multiple times, as described in the next paragraph.

Reference Droop Measurements (continued)
Figure 45 shows the setup that was used to measure the reference droop. The output ADC code was captured
using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and post-processing was done on a personal computer. The
input to the THS4521, and hence in turn to the ADS8881, is a constant dc voltage (close to positive or negative
full-scale because this condition is the worst-case for charge drawn from the REF pin). The dc source must have
extremely low noise. After the REF62xx device is powered up and stable, the FPGA sends commands to the
ADS8881 to capture data in bursts. The ADS8881 is initially in idle mode for 100 ms. The FPGA then sends a
command to the ADS8881 to perform 100 conversions at 1 MSPS. The ADC code corresponding to these 100
conversions (one burst of data) is stored as the first row in a 1000 × 100 dimensional array. This operation is
repeated 1000 times, and the data corresponding to each burst is stored in a new row of the 1000 × 100
dimensional array. Finally, each column in this array is averaged to get a final data-set of 100 elements. This
final data-set now has code spread that is much less than 1 LSB because most of the noise has now been
removed through averaging. This data-set was plotted on a graph with X axis = column number (each column
number corresponds to 1 µs of time because the sampling rate is 1 MSPS), and Y axis = ADC output code to
obtain reference-droop measurements.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
Most SAR ADCs, and a few delta-sigma ADCs, switch binary-weighted capacitors onto the REF pin during the
conversion process. The magnitude of the capacitance switched onto the REF pin during each conversion
depends on the input signal to the ADC. If a voltage reference is directly connected to the REF pin of these
ADCs, the reference voltage droops because of the dynamic input signal dependent load of the binary-weighted
capacitors. Because the reference voltage droop now has input signal dependance, significant degradation in
THD and linearity for the system occurs.
In order to support this dynamic load and preserve the ADC linearity, distortion and noise performance, the
output of the voltage reference must be buffered with a low-output impedance (high-bandwidth) buffer. The
REF62xx family of voltage references have an integrated low output impedance buffer that enables the user to
directly drive the REF pin of a SAR ADC, while preserving ADC linearity and distortion. In addition, the total noise
in the full bandwidth of the REF62xx is extremely low, thus preserving the noise performance of the ADC.
Voltage-Reference Impact on Total Harmonic Distortion (SLYY097) correlates the effect of reference settling to
ADC distortion, and how the REF62xx achieves lowest distortion with minimal components and lowest power
consumption.
The output voltage of the REF62xx does not droop below 1 LSB (18-bit), even during the first conversion while
driving the REF pin of the ADS8881. This feature is useful in burst-mode, event-triggered, equivalent-time
sampling, and variable-sampling-rate data-acquisition systems. Functional Block Diagram shows a simplified
schematic of the REF62xx.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Integrated ADC Drive Buffer
Many ADC data sheets specify a few microamps of average current draw from the REF pin. Almost all voltage
references provide these few microamps of average current; but not all voltage references are practical for
driving a high-resolution, high-throughput SAR ADC because the peak current drawn can be very high when the
capacitors are switched on the REF pin. The worst-case demand for the voltage reference is during a burst-mode
conversion, when the ADC is idle for a very long time, before a conversion is initiated, and the first sample
converted is expected to be precise. Usually, a large capacitor is connected between the REF pin and ground pin
(or sometimes between the REFP and REFM pins) of the ADC to smoothen the current load and reduce the
burden on the voltage reference. The voltage reference must then be capable of providing the average current
required to completely charge the reference capacitor, but without causing the reference voltage to droop
significantly. Most voltage references lack the ability to completely charge the reference capacitor, and settle
when the binary-weighted capacitors are being switched onto the REF pin because of the large output
impedance. Usually, voltage references have output impedances in the range of 10's of ohms at frequencies
higher than 100 Hz. The output voltage of the voltage reference must be buffered with a low output impedance
(usually high bandwidth) amplifier to achieve excellent linearity and distortion performance.
The key amplifier specifications to be considered when designing a reference buffer for a high-precision ADC
are: low offset, low drift, wide bandwidth, and low output impedance. While it is possible to select an amplifier
that sufficiently meets all these requirements, the amplifier comes at a cost of excessive power consumption. For
example, the OPA350 is a 38-MHz bandwidth amplifier with a maximum offset of 0.5 mV, and low offset drift of 4
µV/ºC, but consumes a quiescent current of 5.2mA. This is because (from an amplifier design perspective) offset
and drift are dc specifications, whereas bandwidth, low output impedance, and high capacitive drive capability
are high-frequency specifications. Therefore, achieving all the performance in one amplifier requires power.
However, a more efficient design to meet the low power budget is to use a composite reference buffer, which
uses an amplifier with superior high-frequency specifications in the feedback loop of a dc precision amplifier to
get the overall performance at much lower power consumption. Figure 48 shows such a composite amplifier
design with the OPA333 (dc precision amplifier) and THS4281 (high-bandwidth amplifier). This reference buffer
design requires three devices, and a large number of external components. This solution still consumes close to
2 mA of quiescent current.

Figure 48. Composite Amplifier Reference Buffer
The REF62xx family of voltage references have an integrated low output impedance buffer (ADC drive buffer);
therefore, there is no need for an external buffer while driving the REF pin of high-precision, high-throughput
SAR ADCs, as shown in Figure 49. The ADC drive buffer of the REF62xx is capable of replenishing a charge of
70 pC on a 47-µF capacitor in 1 µs, without allowing the voltage on the capacitor to droop more than 1 LSB at
18-bit precision. The REF62xx are trimmed at multiple temperatures in production, achieving a max drift of just 3

9.3.2 Temperature Drift
The REF62xx family is designed for minimal drift error, defined as the change in output voltage over temperature.
The drift is calculated using the box method, as described by the following equation:

9.3.3 Load Current
The REF6225, REF6230, REF6233 and REF6241 are specified to deliver current load of ±4 mA. The REF6245
is specified to deliver ±3.5 mA, and the REF6250 is specified to deliver ±3 mA. The REF62xx are protected from
short circuits at the output by limiting the output short-circuit current.
The short-circuit current limit (ISC) of the REF62xx family of devices is adjusted by connecting a resistor (RSS) on
the SS pin. The short-circuit current limit when the REF62xx device is sourcing current can be calculated as
shown in Equation 4:
ISC
(80 * 10 9 ) * RSS
(3 * 10 3 )

The short circuit current limit when the REF62xx device is sinking is calculated as shown in Equation 5:
ISC
(115 * 10

(4.6 * 10

(5)
The recommended output current of the REF62xx also depends on the resistor connected to the SS pin. The
recommended output current (sourcing and sinking) for the REF6225, REF6230, REF6233 and REF6241 is
given by Equation 6:
IL
(31.25 * 10 9 ) * RSS

The recommended output current (sourcing and sinking) for the REF6245 is given by Equation 7:

The recommended output current (sourcing and sinking) for the REF6250 is given by Equation 8:
IL
(23.75 * 10 9 ) * RSS
(0.15 * 10 3 )

The temperature of the device increases according to Equation 9:

where:
•

•
•
TJ = junction temperature (°C).
TA = ambient temperature (°C).
PD = power dissipated (W).
RθJA = junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (°C/W).

9.3.4 Stability
The REF62xx family of voltage references are stable with output capacitor values ranging from 10 µF to 47 µF.
At a low output-capacitor value of 10 µF, an effective series resistance (ESR) of 20 mΩ to 100 mΩ is required for
stability; whereas, at a higher value of 47 µF, an ESR of 5 mΩ to 100 mΩ is required. The shaded region in
Figure 52 shows the stable region of operation for the REF62xx devices.

Output Capacitor (µF)
Figure 52. Stable Output Capacitor Range
A capacitor of value 1 µF is required at the FILT pin for stability and noise performance. A low ESR (5 mΩ to 20
mΩ) is easily achieved by increasing the PCB trace length, thus eliminating the need for a discrete resistor.
Higher values of ESR (greater than 20 mΩ, but lesser than 100 mΩ) can be intentionally added to increase the
output bandwidth of the REF62xx. This higher ESR improves the transient performance of the REF62xx, but
worsens noise performance because of increased bandwidth.
9.4 Device Functional Modes
When the EN pin of the REF62xx is pulled high, the device is in active mode. The device must be in active mode
for normal operation.
To place the REF62xx into a shutdown mode, pull the ENABLE pin low. When in shutdown mode, the output of
the device becomes high impedance and the quiescent current of the device reduces to 1 µA (typ). See the
enable pin voltage parameter in the Electrical Characteristics table for logic high and logic low voltage levels.

10 Applications 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.
10.1 Application Information
Many applications, such as event-triggered and multiplexed data-acquisition systems, require the very first
conversion of the ADC to have 18-bit or greater precision. These types of data acquisition systems capture data
in bursts, and are also called burst-mode, data-acquisition systems. Achieving 18-bit precision for the first sample
is very difficult using a conventional voltage reference because the voltage reference droop limits the accuracy of
the first few conversions. Furthermore, variable-sampling-rate systems require that the gain error of the system
does not vary with sampling rate. The primary objective of this design example is to demonstrate the lowest
distortion and noise, burst-mode data-acquisition block with low power consumption, using an 18-bit SAR ADC
operating at a throughput of 1 MSPS, for a 1-kHz, full-scale, pure sine-wave input.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The data acquisition system shown in Figure 53 has three major contributors to the noise and accuracy in the
system: the input driver, the reference with driver, and the data converter. Each analog block is carefully
designed so that the data converter specifications limit the system specifications. The THS4551, a fully
differential operational amplifier is used to drive the 18-bit ADC (ADS8881). The charge-kickback RC filter at the
output of the THS4551 is used to reduce the charge kickback created by the opening and closing of the sampling
switch inside the ADC. Design the RC filter so that the voltage at the sampling capacitor settles to 18-bit
accuracy within the acquisition time of the ADC.
Data-acquisition systems require stable and accurate voltage references in order to perform the most accurate
data conversion. The REF62xx family of voltage references have integrated an ADC drive buffer, and can
therefore drive the REF pin of the ADS8881 directly, without the need for an external reference buffer. See the
Integrated ADC Drive Buffer section for more details about reference-buffer requirements. Correct output
capacitor selection for the REF62xx is very important in this design. The Stability section describes the ESR
requirements of the output capacitor for stability and burst-mode requirements. A capacitance of 1 μF is
connected to the FILT pin to reduce broadband noise of the REF62xx.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The REF62xx family of references have extremely low dropout voltage. The dropout specifications can be found
in the Electrical Characteristics section. A minimum 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor must be connected between the
VIN and GND_F pins of the REF62xx. A typical dropout voltage versus load is shown in Figure 60.

12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 61 illustrates an example of a PCB layout for a data-acquisition system using the REF62xx. Some key
considerations are:
• Connect low-ESR, 0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitors between the VIN pin and ground.
• Place the REF62xx output capacitor (CL) and the ADC as close to each other as possible.
• Run two separate traces between VOUT_F, VOUT_S and the output capacitor, as shown in Figure 61.
• Short the GND_F and GND_S pins with a solid plane, and extend this plane to connect to the output
capacitor CL, as shown in Figure 61.
• 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.
• 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.
