DESCRIPTION
VRE204 Series Precision Voltage References provide
ultrastable +4.5 V outputs with up to ±0.8 mV initial
accuracy and temperature coefficient as low as 0.74
ppm/°C over the full military temperature range.
These references are specifically designed to be used
with successive-approximation type Analog-to-Digital
Converters (ADCs). Specify an ADC with exceptional
temperature drift, which can only be as good as the
external reference used. The VRE204 combined with
the right ADC will provide the lowest drift data conversion obtainable.
The VRE204 series is available in the military operating temperature range -55°C to +125°C, and two performance grades. All devices are packaged in 20-terminal LCC ceramic packages for maximum long-term
stability. These “M” versions are screened for high reliability and quality.
Superior stability, accuracy, and quality make the
VRE204 ideal for all precision applications which may
require a 4.5 V reference. High-accuracy test and
measurement instrumentation, and transducer excitation are some other applications which can benefit
from the high accuracy of the VRE204.

3. THEORY OF OPERATION
The following discussion refers to the block diagram in Figure 1. A FET current source is used to bias a 6.3 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 4.5 V output. The gain is determined
by the resistor networks R3 and R4: G=1 + R4/R3. The 6.3 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 then adjusting
the slope, the VRE204 series 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. 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 VRE204 series voltage references with the optional trim resistors is shown below. Pay
careful attention to the circuit layout to avoid noise pickup and voltage drops in the lines.
The VRE204 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.
