GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADR42x series are ultraprecision second-generation XFET
voltage references featuring low noise, high accuracy, and excellent
long-term stability in a SOIC and Mini_SOIC footprints. Patented
temperature drift curvature correction technique and XFET (eXtra
implanted junction FET) technology minimize nonlinearity of the
voltage change with temperature. The XFET architecture offers
superior accuracy and thermal hysteresis to the bandgap
references. It also operates at lower power and lower supply
headroom than the Buried Zener references.

The superb noise, stable, and accurate characteristics of ADR42x
make them ideal for precision conversion applications such as
optical network and medical equipment. The ADR42x trim
terminal can also be used to adjust the output voltage over a
±0.5% range without compromising any other performance. The
ADR42x series voltage references offer two electrical grades and
are specified over the extended industrial temperature range
of –40°C to +125°C. Devices are available in 8-lead SOIC-8 or
30% smaller 8-lead Mini_SOIC-8 packages.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD42x 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.

PARAMETER DEFINITIONS
Temperature Coefficient
The change of output voltage over the operating temperature
range and normalized by the output voltage at 25°C, expressed
in ppm/°C. The equation follows:
TCVO ( ppm / °C ) =
Thermal Hysteresis
Thermal hysteresis is defined as the change of output voltage
after the device is cycled through temperature from +25°C to
–40°C to +125°C and back to +25°C. This is a typical value
from a sample of parts put through such a cycle.
VO _ HYS = VO (25°C ) – VO _ TC
VO (T2 ) – VO (T1 )
× 106
VO (25°C ) × (T2 – T1 )
VO _ HYS ( ppm ) =
where
VO (25°C) = VO at 25°C
VO (T2) = VO at Temperature 2.
Line Regulation
The change in output voltage due to a specified change in input
voltage. 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
Load Regulation
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 ohms of dc output resistance.
Long-Term Stability
Typical shift of output voltage at 25°C on a sample of parts
subjected to operation life test of 1000 hours at 125°C:
∆VO = VO (t0 ) – VO (t1 )
× 106
VO (t0 ) – VO (t1 )
× 10 6
VO (t0 )
VO (25°C) = VO at 25°C
VO_TC = VO at 25°C after temperature cycle at +25°C to –40°C
to +125°C and back to +25°C.
Input Capacitor
Input capacitors are not required on the ADR42x. 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 to reduce noise from the supply.
Output Capacitor
The ADR42x does not need output capacitors for stability
under any load condition. An output capacitor, typically 0.1 µF,
will filter out any low-level noise voltage and will not affect
the operation of the part. On the other hand, the load 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.

VO (t0) = VO at 25°C at Time 0
VO (t1) = VO at 25°C after 1,000 hours operation at 125°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Basic Voltage Reference Connections
The ADR42x series of references uses a new reference generation
technique known as XFET (eXtra implanted junction FET).
This technique yields a reference with low supply current, good
thermal hysteresis, and exceptionally low noise. The core of the
XFET reference consists of two junction field-effect transistors
(JFET), one of which has an extra channel implant to raise its
pinch-off voltage. By running the two JFETs at the same drain
current, the difference in pinch-off voltage can be amplified and
used to form a highly stable voltage reference.
Voltage references, in general, require a bypass capacitor
connected from V OUT to GND. The circuit in Figure 2
illustrates the basic configuration for the ADR42x family of
references. Other than a 0.1 µF capacitor at the output to help
improve noise suppression, a large output capacitor at the
output is not required for circuit stability.
The intrinsic reference voltage is around 0.5 V with a negative
temperature coefficient of about –120 ppm/°C. This slope is
essentially constant to the dielectric constant of silicon and can
be closely compensated by adding a correction term generated
in the same fashion as the proportional-to-temperature (PTAT)
term used to compensate bandgap references. The big advantage
over a bandgap reference is that the intrinsic temperature
coefficient is some thirty times lower (therefore requiring less
correction), resulting in much lower noise since most of the
noise of a bandgap reference comes from the temperature
compensation circuitry.
Figure 1 shows the basic topology of the ADR42x series. The
temperature correction term is provided by a current source with a
value designed to be proportional to absolute temperature. The
general equation is:

Noise Performance
The noise generated by the ADR42x family of references is
typically less than 2 µV p-p over the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz band
for ADR420, ADR421, and ADR423. TPC 22 shows the 0.1
Hz to 10 Hz noise of the ADR421, which is only 1.75 µV p-p.
The noise measurement is made with a bandpass filter made of
a 2-pole high-pass filter with a corner frequency at 0.1 Hz and
a 2-pole low-pass filter with a corner frequency at 10 Hz.
The ADR42x trim terminal can be used to adjust the output voltage
over a ± 0.5% range. This feature allows the system designer to
trim system errors out by setting the reference to a voltage other
than the nominal. This is also helpful if the part is used in a system
at temperature to trim out any error. Adjustment of the output has
negligible effect on the temperature performance of the device.
To avoid degrading temperature coefficient, both the trimming
potentiometer and the two resistors need to be low temperature
coefficient types, preferably <100 ppm/°C.

Upon application of power (cold start), the time required for the
output voltage to reach its final value within a specified error
band is defined as the turn-on settling time. Two components
normally associated with this are the time for the active circuits
to settle, and the time for the thermal gradients on the chip to
stabilize. TPC 29 through TPC 33, inclusive, show the turn-on
settling time for the ADR421.
where G is the gain of the reciprocal of the divider ratio, ∆VP is
the difference in pinch-off voltage between the two JFETs, and
IPTAT is the positive temperature coefficient correction current.
ADR42x are created by on-chip adjustment of R2 and R3 to
achieve 2.048 V or 2.500 V at the reference output respectively.

Reference for Converters in Optical Network Control Circuits
In the upcoming high-capacity, all-optical router network, Figure 4
employs arrays of micromirrors to direct and route optical
signals from fiber to fiber, without first converting them to
electrical form, which reduces the communication speed. The tiny
micromechanical mirrors are positioned so that each is illuminated
by a single wavelength that carries unique information and can be
passed to any desired input and output fiber. The mirrors are tilted
by the dual-axis actuators controlled by precision ADCs and
DACs within the system. Due to the microscopic movement of
the mirrors, not only is the precision of the converters important,
but the noise associated with these controlling converters is also
extremely critical, because total noise within the system can
be multiplied by the numbers of converters employed. As a result,
the ADR42x is necessary for this application for its exceptional
low noise to maintain the stability of the control loop.

A Negative Precision Reference without Precision Resistors
Kelvin Connections
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 (current-switching mode) or amplification (voltageswitching 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 that approach is that the largest single source of error in the
circuit is the relative matching of the resistors used.
In many portable instrumentation applications, where PC board
cost and area go hand-in-hand, circuit interconnects are very
often of dimensionally minimum width. These narrow lines can
cause large voltage drops if the voltage reference is required to
provide load currents to various functions. In fact, a circuit’s
interconnects can exhibit a typical line resistance of 0.45 mΩ/
square (1 oz. Cu, for example). Force and sense connections,
also referred to as Kelvin connections, offer a convenient method
of eliminating the effects of voltage drops in circuit wires. Load
currents flowing through wiring resistance produce an error
(VERROR = R × IL ) at the load. However, the Kelvin connection
of Figure 7 overcomes the problem by including the wiring
resistance within the forcing loop of the op amp. Since the op
amp senses the load voltage, op amp loop control forces the
output to compensate for the wiring error and to produce the
correct voltage at the load.
A negative reference can easily be generated by adding a precision
op amp and configuring as in Figure 5. VOUT is 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 have rail-to-rail capability if negative supply voltage
is close to the reference output.

In addition, R1' and R2' must be equal to R1 and R2A + R2B,
respectively. R2B in theory can be made as small as needed to
achieve the current needed within A 2 output current driving
capability. In this example, OP2177 is able to deliver a maximum of 10 mA. Since the current pump employs both positive and
negative feedback, capacitors C1 and C2 are needed to ensure the
negative feedback prevails and, therefore, avoids oscillation.
This circuit also allows bidirectional current flow if the inputs
VA and VB of the digital potentiometer are supplied with the
dual polarity references as shown previously.

Dual polarity references can easily be made with an op amp and
a pair of resistors. In order not to defeat the accuracy obtained
by ADR42x, it is imperative to match the resistance tolerance as
well as the temperature coefficient of all the components.
With a multichannel DAC such as a Quad 12-bit voltage output
DAC AD7398, one of its internal DACs and an ADR42x voltage
reference can be served as a common programmable VREFX for the

The ADR42x family has a number of features that make it ideal
for use with A/D and D/A converters. The exceptional low noise,
tight temperature coefficient, and high accuracy characteristics
make the ADR42x ideal for low noise applications such as cellular
base station applications.
A precision voltage output with boosted current capability can
be realized with the circuit shown in Figure 13. In this circuit,
U2 forces VO to be equal to VREF by regulating the turn on of
N1, therefore, the load current will be furnished by VIN. In this
configuration, a 50 mA load is achievable at VIN of 5 V. Moderate heat will be generated on the MOSFET and higher current
can be achieved with a replacement of the larger device. In
addition, for heavy capacitive load with step input, a buffer may
be added at the output to enhance the transient response.

with on-chip digital filtering intended for the measurement of wide
dynamic range and low frequency signals such as those representing
chemical, physical, or biological processes. It contains a chargebalancing (sigma-delta) ADC, calibration microcontroller with on-chip
