Patented temperature drift curvature correction techniques minimize nonlinearity of the voltage change with temperature. The wide operating range and low power consumption with additional shutdown capability make them ideal for 3 V to 5 V battery-powered applications. The VOUT Sense Pin enables greater accuracy by supporting full Kelvin operation in systems using very fine or long circuit traces. The ADR390 and ADR391 are micropower, Low Dropout Voltage (LDV) devices that provide a stable output voltage from supplies as low as 300 mV above the output voltage. They are specified over the industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature range. Each is available in the tiny 5-lead SOT-23 package. The combination of VOUT sense and shutdown functions also enables a number of unique applications combining precision reference/regulation with fault decision and overcurrent protection.

Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the ADR390/ADR391 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. –4– WARNING! ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE REV. A ADR390/ADR391 transient response can be improved with an additional 1 µF to 10 µF output capacitor in parallel. A capacitor here will act as a source of stored energy for sudden increase in load current. The only parameter that will degrade, by adding an output capacitor, is turn-on time and it depends on the size of the capacitor chosen. PARAMETER DEFINITION Temperature Coefficient (TCV O) The change of output voltage over the operating temperature change and normalized by the output voltage at 25⬚C, expressed in ppm/⬚C.

It includes the effects of self-heating. Line regulation is expressed in either percent per volt, parts-per-million per volt, or microvolts per volt change in input voltage. VO(t0) = VO at at time 0. VO(t1) = VO after 1000 hours operation at a controlled temperature. Load Regulation (∆VO /∆ILOAD) Thermal Hysteresis (VO_HYS) The change in output voltage due to a specified change in load current. It includes the effects of self-heating. Load Regulation is expressed in either microvolts per milliampere, parts-per-million per milliampere, or Ω of dc output resistance. The change of output voltage after the device is cycled through temperature from +25⬚C to –40⬚C to +85°C and back to +25⬚C. This is a typical value from a sample of parts put through such a cycle. VO _ HYS = VO 25o C − VO _ TC Input Capacitor Input capacitors are not required on the ADR390/ADR391. There is no limit for the value of the capacitor used on the input, but a 1 µF to 10 µF capacitor on the input will improve transient response in applications where the supply suddenly changes. An additional 0.1 µF in parallel will also help reducing noise from the supply.

The uniqueness of this product lies in its architecture. By observing Figure 2, the ideal zero TC bandgap voltage is referenced to the output, not to ground. Therefore, if noise exists on the ground line, it will be greatly attenuated on VOUT. The bandgap cell consists of the pnp pair Q51 and Q52, running at unequal current densities.

ADR391 Turn-On/Turn-Off Response at 5 V Reduction in the bandgap curvature is performed by the ratio of the resistors R44 and R59, one of which is linearly temperature dependent.

Simplified Schematic Device Power Dissipation Considerations 100 The ADR390/ADR391 is capable of delivering load currents to 5 mA with an input voltage that ranges from 2.8 V (ADR391 only) to 15 V. When this device is used in applications with large input voltages, care should be taken to avoid exceeding the specified maximum power dissipation or junction temperature that could result in premature device failure. The following formula should be used to calculate a device’s maximum junction temperature or dissipation: 90 OUTPUT IMPEDANCE – ⍀ 80 70 60 CL = 0F 50 40 PD = 30 20 CL = 1F 10 0 10 100 1k 10k FREQUENCY – Hz CL = 0.1F 100k TPC 27.

Shutdown Mode Operation The ADR390/ADR391 includes a shutdown feature that is TTL/ CMOS level compatible. A logic LOW or a zero volt condition on the SHDN pin is required to turn the device off. During shutdown, the output of the reference becomes a high impedance state where its potential would then be determined by external circuitry. If the shutdown feature is not used, the SHDN pin should be connected to VIN (Pin 2). –10– REV. A ADR390/ADR391 APPLICATIONS BASIC VOLTAGE REFERENCE CONNECTION The circuit in Figure 3 illustrates the basic configuration for the ADR39x family. Decoupling capacitors are not required for circuit stability. The ADR39x family is capable of driving capacitive loads from 0 µF to 10 µF. However, a 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor is recommended to absorb and deliver the charge as is required by a dynamic load.

Stacking Reference ICs for Arbitrary Outputs Some applications may require two reference voltage sources which are a combined sum of standard outputs. The following circuit shows how this “stacked output” reference can be implemented: ADR390/ADR390 ADR391/ADR391 VIN C1 0.1F VOUT1 (V) VOUT2 (V) 2.048 2.5 4.096 5.0 2 U2 VIN 1 VOUT(F) 4 SHDN VOUT(S) A Negative Precision Reference without Precision Resistors In many current-output CMOS DAC applications where the output signal voltage must be of the same polarity as the reference voltage, it is often required to reconfigure a current-switching DAC into a voltage-switching DAC through the use of a 1.25 V reference, an op amp, and a pair of resistors. Using a currentswitching DAC directly requires the need for an additional operational amplifier at the output to reinvert the signal. A negative voltage reference is then desirable from the point that an additional operational amplifier is not required for either reinversion (currentswitching mode) or amplification (voltage switching mode) of the DAC output voltage. In general, any positive voltage reference can be converted into a negative voltage reference through the use of an operational amplifier and a pair of matched resistors in an inverting configuration. The disadvantage to this approach is that the largest single source of error in the circuit is the relative matching of the resistors used. A Negative Precision Reference without Precision Resistors OUTPUT TABLE U1/U2 resistor R1 should be used, set to a value that will conservatively pass 600 µA of current with the applicable VOUT1 across it. Note that the two U1 and U2 reference circuits are locally treated as macrocells, each having its own bypasses at input and output for best stability. Both U1 and U2 in this circuit can source dc currents up to their full rating. The minimum input voltage, VIN, is determined by the sum of the outputs, VOUT2, plus the dropout voltage of U2. A negative reference can be easily generated by adding an op amp, A1 and configured as Figure 5 below. VOUTF and VOUTS are at virtual ground and therefore the negative reference can be taken directly from the output of the op amp. The op amp must be dual supply, low offset, and rail-to-rail if the negative supply voltage is close to the reference output.

Stacking Voltage References with the ADR390/ ADR391 Two reference ICs are used, fed from an unregulated input, VIN. The outputs of the individual ICs are simply connected in series which provides two output voltages VOUT1 and VOUT2. VOUT1 is the terminal voltage of U1, while VOUT2 is the sum of this voltage and the terminal voltage of U2. U1 and U2 are simply chosen for the two voltages that supply the required outputs (see Output Table). For example, if both U1 and U2 are ADR391s, VOUT1 is 2.5 V and VOUT2 is 5.0 V. While this concept is simple, a precaution is in order. Since the lower reference circuit must sink a small bias current from U2, plus the base current from the series PNP output transistor in U2, either the external load of U1 or R1 must provide a path for this current. If the U1 minimum load is not well defined, the REV. A –VREF A1 5 A1 = OP777, OP193 Figure 5. Precision Current Source Many times in low-power applications, the need arises for a precision current source that can operate on low supply voltages. As shown in the following figure, the ADR390/ADR391 can be configured as a precision current source. The circuit configuration illustrated is a floating current source with a grounded load. The reference’s output voltage is bootstrapped across RSET, which sets the output current into the load. With this configuration, circuit precision is maintained for load currents in the range from the reference’s supply current, typically 90 µA to approximately 5 mA. –11– ADR390/ADR391 The transistor Q2 protects Q1 during short circuit limit faults by robbing its base drive.

ADR390/ADR391 for High-Power Performance with Current Limit A similar circuit function can also be achieved with the Darlington transistor configuration, see Figure 8. RSET R1 4.7k⍀ VIN RL U1 SHDN GND VIN Figure 6. A Precision Current Source Q2N2222 VOUT (FORCE) High-Power Performance with Current Limit Q1 Q2 VOUT (SENSE) In some cases, the user may want higher output current delivered to a load and still achieve better than 0.5% accuracy out of the ADR390/ADR391. The accuracy for a reference is normally specified on the data sheet with no load. However, the output voltage changes with load current. ADR390/ADR391 Q2N4921 RS RL Figure 8. ADR390/ADR391 High Output Current with Darlington Drive Configuration The circuit below provides high current without compromising the accuracy of the ADR390/ADR391. The series pass transistor Q1 provides up to 1 A load current. The ADR390/ADR391 delivers only the base drive to Q1 through the force pin. The sense pin of the ADR390/ADR391 is a regulated output and is connected to the load. OUTLINE DIMENSIONS Dimensions shown in inches and (mm).
