The VRE125 provides a +5V output and the VRE127 provides a ±5V output. All types are available in commercial (C suffix) and military (M suffix) models. They are hermetically sealed and are screened for high reliability and quality. Two accuracy grades (standard and A) are available in both models. The adjacent selector guide shows the limits of the most important parameters of the VRE125/127 series references. SELECTION GUIDE Max. Volt Deviation (-55°C to +150°C) Max.

The stability of the VRE125 series is enhanced by using a zener diode instead of a bandgap reference, which is typically used in 5V references. Zener diodes have better long term stability and don't suffer the significant shifts caused by temperature cycling that bandgap references do. Other performance parameters, such as warm-up drift and long term stability are better than competitive models. Superior stability, accuracy, and quality make these references ideal for high temperature applications such as A/D and D/A converter references. VRE125DS REV.

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 5.000V 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 reference's voltage vs. tamperature function. By trimming the zener current a lower drift over temperature can be achieved. But since the voltage vs. temperature function is nonlinear, this method leaves a residual error over wide temperature ranges. To remove this residual error, Thaler has developed a nonlinear compensation network of thermistors and resistors that is used in the VRE series references. This proprietary network eliminates most of the nonlinearity in the voltage vs. temperature function. By then adjusting the slope, Thaler Corporation produces a very stable voltage 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. APPLICATION INFORMATION Figure 1 shows the proper connection of the VRE125 series voltage reference with the optional trim resistors. When trimming the VRE127, the positive voltage should be trimmed first since the negative voltage tracks the positive side. Pay careful attention to the circuit layout to avoid noise pickup and voltage drops in the lines. When using precision voltage references at high temperatures it is best to keep them powered up. If the zener diode isn't powered up at high temperatures the junction will collect ions, and then when power is applied, the voltage will drift until the charge build up is depleted. The VRE125 series voltage references have the ground terminal brought out on two pins (pin 6 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 7 to the power supply ground and pin 6 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 doesn't effect performance. VRE125 FIGURE 2 VRE127 FIGURE 3 VRE125DS REV.
