DESCRIPTION
VRE202 Series Precision Voltage References
provide ultrastable +2.5000V outputs with ±200
µV initial accuracy and temperature coefficient as
low as 0.6 ppm/°C over the full military
temperature range. This improvement in accuracy
is made possible by a unique, proprietary
multipoint
laser
compensation
technique
developed by Thaler Corporation. Significant
improvements have been made in other
performance parameters as well, including initial
accuracy, warm-up drift, line regulation, and longterm stability, making the VRE202 series the most
accurate and stable 2.5V surface mount
references available.

DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE
THEORY OF OPERATION
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The following discussion refers to the schematic
below. 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
2.5000V 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.
Figure 2 shows the proper connection of the
VRE202 series voltage references with the optional
trim resistors. Pay careful attention to the circuit
layout to avoid noise pickup and voltage drops in the
lines.
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.
Thaler Corporation has developed 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 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. By using highly stable
resistors in our network, we produce a voltage
reference that also has very good long term stability.
The VRE202 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 20ppm.
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.

DESCRIPTION
VRE204 Series Precision Voltage References
provide ultrastable +4.500 V outputs with up to
±0.4 mV initial accuracy and temperature
coefficient as low as 0.6 ppm/°C over the full
military temperature range.
These references are specifically designed to be
used with the Crystal Semiconductor line of
successive-approximation type Analog-to-Digital
Converters (ADCs). This line of ADCs sets new
standards for temperature drift, which can only be
as good as the external reference used. The
Thaler VRE204 combined with a Crystal ADC will
provide the lowest drift data conversion
obtainable.

Superior stability, accuracy, and quality make the VRE204 ideal for all precision applications which may

excitation are some other applications which can benefit from the high accuracy of the VRE204.

DESCRIPTION
VRE210 Series Precision Voltage References
provide ultrastable +10.000V outputs with ±0.3
mV initial accuracy and temperature coefficient
as low as 0.5 ppm/°C over the full military
temperature range. This improvement in
accuracy is made possible by a unique,
proprietary
multipoint
laser
compensation
technique developed by Thaler Corporation.
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 VRE210 series the
most accurate and stable 10V surface mount
references available.

DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE
THEORY OF OPERATION
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The following discussion refers to the schematic
below. In operation, approximately 6.3 volts is
applied to the noninverting input of the op amp. The
voltage is amplified by the op amp to produce a
10.000V output. The gain is determined by the
networks R1 and R2: G=1 + R2/R1. The 6.3V zener
diode is used because it is the most stable diode
over time and temperature.
Figure 2 shows the proper connection of the
VRE210 series voltage references with the optional
trim resistors. Pay careful attention to the circuit
layout to avoid noise pickup and voltage drops in the
lines.
The zener operating current is derived from the
regulated output voltage through R3. This feedback
arrangement provides a closely regulated zener
current. This current 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.
Thaler Corporation has developed 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 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. By using highly stable
resistors in our network, we produce a voltage
reference that also has very good long term
stability.
The VRE210 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 20ppm.
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.
