VRE405 VRE405 P r o d u c t IInnnnoovvaa t i o n FFr roomm Precision Dual Voltage Reference Features DESCRIPTION The VRE405 is a low cost, high precision, ±5 V reference. Available in 14-pin DIP or SMT packages, the device is ideal for new designs that need a high performance reference. ♦ ±5 V Output, ± 0.5 mV (.01%) ♦ Temperature Drift: 0.6 ppm/ºC ♦ Low Noise: 3 μVP-P (0.1-10hz) ♦ Tracking Error: 0.3 mV Max. ♦ Excellent Line Regulation: 6 ppm/V Typical ♦ Surface Mount and DIP Package Options Applications The VRE405 is recommended for use as a reference for high precision D/A and A/D converters which require an external precision reference. The device is ideal for calibrating scale factor on high resolution A/D converters. The VRE405 offers superior performance over monolithic references. The device provides ultrastable ±5 V output with ±0.5 mV (.01%) initial accuracy and a temperature coefficient of 0.6 ppm/°C. This improvement in accuracy is made possible by a unique, patented multipoint laser compensation technique. Another key feature of this reference is the 0.3 mV maximum tracking error between the positive and negative output voltages over the operating temperature range. This is extremely important in high performance systems for reducing overall system errors. For designs which use the DIP package in a socket, there is a reference ground pin to eliminate the reference ground errors. Figure 1. BLOCK DIAGRAM Selection Guide Model Initial Error (mV) Temp.

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 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 that 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 VRE405 reference has it’s ground terminal brought out on two pins (pin 6 and 7) which are connected 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 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 does not effect performance.
