This connection can provide ±1 mA to the load while accommodating ±10% power supply variations. VS RS IR + IL IL VR IR 06672-010 VOUT Figure 10. Typical Connection Diagram +5V(+3V) ±10% RS 2.94kΩ (1.30kΩ) VR VOUT 06672-011 The ADR1581 uses the band gap concept to produce a stable, low temperature coefficient voltage reference suitable for high accuracy data acquisition components and systems. The device makes use of the underlying physical nature of a silicon transistor base emitter voltage in the forward-biased operating region. All such transistors have an approximately −2 mV/°C temperature coefficient, which is unsuitable for use directly as a low TC reference; however, extrapolation of the temperature characteristic of any one of these devices to absolute zero (with collector current proportional to absolute temperature) reveals that its VBE goes to approximately the silicon band gap voltage. Therefore, if a voltage could be developed with an opposing temperature coefficient to sum with VBE, a zero TC reference would result. The ADR1581 circuit in Figure 9 provides such a compensating voltage, V1, by driving two transistors at different current densities and amplifying the resultant VBE difference (ΔVBE), which has a positive TC. The sum of VBE and V1 provides a stable voltage reference. V+ Figure 11. Typical Connection Diagram TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE V1 The ADR1581 is designed for reference applications where stable temperature performance is important. Extensive temperature testing and characterization ensure that the device’s performance is maintained over the specified temperature range. VBE V– 06672-009 ΔVBE Figure 9. Schematic Diagram APPLYING THE ADR1581 The ADR1581 is simple to use in virtually all applications. To operate the ADR1581 as a conventional shunt regulator (see Figure 10), an external series resistor is connected between the supply voltage and the ADR1581. For a given supply voltage, the series resistor, RS, determines the reverse current flowing through the ADR1581. The value of RS must be chosen to accommodate the expected variations of the supply voltage (VS), load current (IL), and the ADR1581 reverse voltage (VR) while maintaining an acceptable reverse current (IR) through the ADR1581. The minimum value for RS should be chosen when VS is at its minimum and IL and VR are at their maximum while maintaining the minimum acceptable reverse current. The value of RS should be large enough to limit IR to 10 mA when VS is at its maximum and IL and VR are at their minimum. Some confusion exists in the area of defining and specifying reference voltage error over temperature. Historically, references have been characterized using a maximum deviation per degree Celsius, for example, 50 ppm/°C. However, because of nonlinearities in temperature characteristics that originated in standard Zener references (such as S type characteristics), most manufacturers now use a maximum limit error band approach to specify devices. This technique involves the measurement of the output at three or more temperatures to guarantee that the voltage falls within the given error band. The proprietary curvature correction design techniques used to minimize the ADR1581 nonlinearities allow the temperature performance to be guaranteed using the maximum deviation method. This method is more useful to a designer than one that simply guarantees the maximum error band over the entire temperature change. Figure 12 shows a typical output voltage drift for the ADR1581 and illustrates the methodology. The maximum slope of the two diagonals drawn from the initial output value at +25°C to the output values at +85°C and −40°C determines the performance grade of the device. For a given grade of the ADR1581, the designer can easily determine the maximum total error from the initial tolerance plus the temperature variation. The equation for selecting RS is as follows: RS = (VS − VR)/(IR + IL) Rev. 0 | Page 6 of 12 ADR1581 1.2508 600 (VMAX – VO) 1.2506 SLOPE = TC = (+85°C – +25°C) × 1.250V × 10 –6 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) RESIDUAL DRIFT ERROR (ppm) VMAX 1.2504 1.2502 1.2500 VO 1.2498 1.2496 1.2494 1.2492 SLOPE = TC = (VMIN – VO) (–40°C – +25°C) × 1.250V × 10 –6 500 400 300 200 100 VMIN –15 5 25 45 65 85 TEMPERATURE (°C) 105 125 0 –55 –35 –15 5 25 45 65 85 105 125 TEMPERATURE (°C) Figure 12. Output Voltage vs. Temperature Figure 13. Residual Drift Error For example, the ADR1581BRT initial tolerance is ±1.5 mV; a ±50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient corresponds to an error band of ±4.1 mV (50 × 10−6 × 1.250 V × 65°C). Therefore, the unit is guaranteed to be 1.250 V ± 5.6 mV over the operating temperature range. Duplication of these results requires a combination of high accuracy and stable temperature control in a test system. Evaluation of the ADR1581 produces curves similar to those in Figure 4 and Figure 12. REVERSE VOLTAGE HYSTERESIS A major requirement for high performance industrial equipment manufacturers is a consistent output voltage at nominal temperature following operation over the operating temperature range. This characteristic is generated by measuring the difference between the output voltage at +25°C after operating at +85°C and the output voltage at +25°C after operating at −40°C. Figure 14 displays the hysteresis associated with the ADR1581. This characteristic exists in all references and has been minimized in the ADR1581. VOLTAGE OUTPUT NONLINEARITY VS. TEMPERATURE 40 Rev. 0 | Page 7 of 12 35 30 QUANTITY When a reference is used with data converters, it is important to understand how temperature drift affects the overall converter performance. The nonlinearity of the reference output drift represents additional error that is not easily calibrated out of the system. The usual way of showing the reference output drift is to plot the reference voltage vs. temperature (see Figure 12). An alternative method is to draw a straight line between the temperature endpoints and measure the deviation of the output from the straight line. This shows the same data in a different format. This characteristic (see Figure 13) is generated by normalizing the measured drift characteristic to the endpoint average drift. The residual drift error of approximately 500 ppm shows that the ADR1581 is compatible with systems that require 10-bit accurate temperature performance. 25 20 15 10 5 0 –400 –300 –200 –100 0 100 200 300 HYSTERESIS VOLTAGE (µV) Figure 14.

FREQUENCY 40µV/DIV Understanding the effect of the reverse dynamic output impedance in a practical application is important to successfully applying the ADR1581. A voltage divider is formed by the ADR1581 output impedance and the external source impedance. When an external source resistor of about 30 kΩ (IR = 100 μA) is used, 1% of the noise from a 100 kHz switching power supply is developed at the output of the ADR1581. Figure 15 shows how a 1 μF load capacitor connected directly across the ADR1581 reduces the effect of power supply noise to less than 0.01%. 21µV rms (a) 20µV/DIV 6.5µV rms, t = 0.2ms (b) (c) 10ms/DIV 1k 06672-017 2.90µV rms, t = 960ms 10µV/DIV OUTPUT IMPEDANCE (Ω) Figure 17. Total RMS Noise 100 TURN-ON TIME CL = 0 Many low power instrument manufacturers are becoming increasingly concerned with the turn-on characteristics of the components in their systems. Fast turn-on components often enable the end user to keep power off when not needed, and yet those components respond quickly when the power is turned on for operation. Figure 18 displays the turn-on characteristics of the ADR1581. 10 ΔIR = 0.1IR IR = 100µA CL = 1µF 1 0.1 10 100 1k 10k 100k FREQUENCY (Hz) 1M 06672-015 IR = 1mA Figure 15. Output Impedance vs. Frequency NOISE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCTION The noise generated by the ADR1581 is typically less than 5 μV p-p over the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz band. Figure 16 shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise of a typical ADR1581. Noise in a 10 Hz to 10 kHz bandwidth is approximately 20 μV rms (see Figure 17a). If further noise reduction is desired, a one-pole low-pass filter can be added between the output pin and ground. A time constant of 0.2 ms has a −3 dB point at about 800 Hz and reduces the high frequency noise to about 6.5 μV rms (see Figure 17b). A time constant of 960 ms has a −3 dB point at 165 Hz and reduces the high frequency noise to about 2.9 μV rms (see Figure 17c). Upon application of power (cold start), the time required for the output voltage to reach its final value within a specified error is the turn-on settling time. Two components normally associated with this are time for active circuits to settle and time for thermal gradients on the chip to stabilize. This characteristic is generated from cold start operation and represents the true turn-on waveform after power-up. Figure 20 shows both the coarse and fine turn-on settling characteristics of the device; the total settling time to within 1.0 mV is about 6 μs, and there is no long thermal tail when the horizontal scale is expanded to 2 ms/div. 2.4V VIN 0V CL = 200pF 250mV/DIV 1µV/DIV 06672-018 4.48µV p-p 5µs/DIV Figure 18.

When present, the time constant of the filter dominates the overall settling. 2.4V VIN 0V OUTPUT ERROR 1mV/DIV, 2µs/DIV Attempts to drive a large capacitive load (in excess of 1000 pF) may result in ringing, as shown in the step response (see Figure 22). This is due to the additional poles formed by the load capacitance and the output impedance of the reference. A recommended method of driving capacitive loads of this magnitude is shown in Figure 19. A resistor isolates the capacitive load from the output stage, whereas the capacitor provides a single-pole low-pass filter and lowers the output noise. 2.0V VIN OUTPUT 0.5mV/DIV, 2ms/DIV 06672-020 1.8V Figure 20.

One family of ADCs for which the ADR1581 is well suited is the AD7714-3 and AD7715-3. The AD7714/AD7715 are chargebalancing (∑-Δ) ADCs with on-chip digital filtering intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals, such as those representing chemical, physical, or biological processes.

In the single-supply bias mode (see Figure 25), the impedance seen looking into the IOUT2 terminal changes with DAC code. If the ADR1581 drives IOUT2 and AGND directly, less than 0.2 LSBs of additional linearity error results. The buffer amp eliminates linearity degradation resulting from variations in the reference level.
