The AD1582, AD1583, AD1584, and AD1585 are a family of low
cost, low power, low dropout, precision band gap references.
These designs are available as three-terminal (series) devices
and are packaged in the compact SOT-23, 3-lead surface-mount
package. The versatility of these references makes them ideal for
use in battery-powered 3 V or 5 V systems where there may be
wide variations in supply voltage and a need to minimize power
dissipation.
The superior accuracy and temperature stability of the AD1582/
AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 is made possible by the precise
matching and thermal tracking of on-chip components. Patented
temperature drift curvature correction design techniques minimize
the nonlinearities in the voltage output temperature characteristic.
These series mode devices (AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585)
source or sink up to 5 mA of load current and operate efficiently
with only 200 mV of required headroom supply. This family
draws a maximum 70 µA of quiescent current with only a 1.0 µA/V
variation with supply voltage. The advantage of these designs
over conventional shunt devices is extraordinary. Valuable supply
current is no longer wasted through an input series resistor, and
maximum power efficiency is achieved at all input voltage levels.
The AD1582, AD1583, AD1584, and AD1585 are available in
three grades, A, B, and C, and are provided in a tiny footprint,
the SOT-23. All grades are specified over the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 family uses the band gap
concept to produce stable, low temperature coefficient voltage
references suitable for high accuracy data acquisition components
and systems. This family of precision references uses the underlying
temperature characteristics of a silicon transistor’s base emitter
voltage in the forward-biased operating region. Under this
condition, all such transistors have a –2 mV/°C temperature
coefficient (TC) and a V
that, when extrapolated to absolute
BE
zero, 0°K (with collector current proportional to absolute
temperature), approximates the silicon band gap voltage. By
summing a voltage that has an equal and opposite temperature
coefficient of 2 mV/°C with the V
of a forward-biased transistor,
BE
an almost zero TC reference can be developed. In the AD1582/
AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 simplified circuit diagram shown in
Figure 2, such a compensating voltage, V1, is derived by
driving two transistors at different current densities and
amplifying the resultant V
TC). The sum of V
difference (∆VBE, which has a positive
BE
and V1(VBG) is then buffered and ampli-
BE
fied to produce stable reference voltage outputs of 2.5 V, 3 V,
4.096 V, and 5 V.

APPLYING THE AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585
The AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 is a family of series
references that can be used for many applications. To achieve
optimum performance with these references, only two external
components are required. Figure 3 shows the AD1582 configured
for operation under all loading conditions. With a simple 4.7 µF
capacitor attached to the input and a 1 µF capacitor applied
to the output, the devices can achieve specified performance for
all input voltage and output current requirements. For best
transient response, add a 0.1 µF capacitor in parallel with the 4.7 µF
capacitor. While a 1 µF output capacitor can provide stable
performance for all loading conditions, the AD1582 can operate
under low (–100 µA < I
< +100 µA) current conditions with
OUT
just a 0.2 µF output capacitor. The 4.7 µF capacitor on the input can
be reduced to 1 µF in this condition.
Unlike conventional shunt reference designs, the AD1582/
AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 family provides stable output voltages
at constant operating current levels. When properly decoupled,
as shown in Figure 3, these devices can be applied to any circuit
and provide superior low power solutions.

TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
The AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 family of references is
designed for applications where temperature performance is
important. Extensive temperature testing and characterization
ensures that the device’s performance is maintained over the
specified temperature range.
The error band guaranteed with the AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/
AD1585 family is the maximum deviation from the initial value at
25°C. Thus, for a given grade of the AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/
AD1585, the designer can easily determine the maximum total
error by summing initial accuracy and temperature variation,
e.g., for the AD1582BRT, the initial tolerance is ±2 mV, the
temperature error band is ±8 mV, thus the reference is guaranteed
to be 2.5 V ± 10 mV from –40°C to +125°C.
Figure 4 shows the typical output voltage drift for the AD1582
and illustrates the methodology. The box in Figure 4 is bounded on
the x-axis by operating temperature extremes. It is bounded
on the y-axis by the maximum and minimum output voltages
observed over the operating temperature range. The slope of the
diagonal drawn from the initial output value at 25°C to the output
values at +125°C and –40°C determines the performance grade of
the device.
Duplication of these results requires a test system that is highly
accurate with stable temperature control. Evaluation of the
AD1582 produces curves similar to those in TPC 3 and Figure 4,
but output readings may vary depending upon the test methods
and test equipment used.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT NONLINEARITY VERSUS
TEMPERATURE
When using a voltage reference with data converters, it is important to understand the impact that temperature drift can have on
the converter’s performance. The nonlinearity of the reference
output drift represents additional error that cannot easily be
calibrated out of the overall system. To better understand the
impact such a drift can have on a data converter, refer to Figure 5
where the measured drift characteristic is normalized to the
endpoint average drift. The residual drift error of the AD1582
of approximately 200 ppm demonstrates that this family of
references is compatible with systems that require 12-bit
accurate temperature performance.

SUPPLY CURRENT VERSUS TEMPERATURE
The quiescent current for the AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585
family of references varies slightly over temperature and input
supply range. Figure 7 demonstrates the typical performance
for the AD1582 reference when varying both temperature and
supply voltage. As is evident from the graph, the AD1582 supply
current increases only 1.0 µA/V, making this device extremely
attractive for use in applications where there may be wide variations in supply voltage and a need to minimize power dissipation.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE HYSTERESIS
High performance industrial equipment manufacturers may
require the AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 family to maintain
a consistent output voltage error at 25°C after the references are
operated over the full temperature range. While all references
exhibit a characteristic known as output voltage hysteresis, the
AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 family is designed to minimize
this characteristic. This phenomenon can be quantified by
measuring the change in the +25°C output voltage after
temperature excursions from +125°C to +25°C, and from –40°C
to +25°C. Figure 6 displays the distribution of the AD1582
output voltage hysteresis.

AC PERFORMANCE
To apply the AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585 family of
references, it is important to understand the effects of dynamic
output impedance and power supply rejection. In Figure 8a, a
voltage divider is formed by the AD1582’s output impedance and
by the external source impedance. Figure 8b shows the effect of
varying the load capacitor on the reference output. Power supply
rejection ratio (PSRR) should be determined when characterizing
the ac performance of a series voltage reference. Figure 9a shows a
test circuit used to measure PSRR, and Figure 9b demonstrates
the AD1582’s ability to attenuate line voltage ripple.

NOISE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCTION
The noise generated by the AD1582 is typically less than
70 µV p-p over the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz frequency band. Figure 10
shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise of a typical AD1582. The noise
measurement is made with a high gain band-pass filter. Noise in
a 10 Hz to 10 kHz region is approximately 50 µV rms. Figure 11
shows the broadband noise of a typical AD1582. If further noise
reduction is desired, a 1-pole low-pass filter may be added
between the output pin and the ground. A time constant of 0.2 ms
has a –3 dB point at roughly 800 Hz, and reduces the high
frequency noise to about 16 µV rms. It should be noted,
however, that while additional filtering on the output may improve
the noise performance of the AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585
family, the added output impedance could degrade the ac
performance of the references.

TURN-ON TIME
Many low power instrument manufacturers are becoming increasingly concerned with the turn-on characteristics of the components
being used in their systems. Fast turn-on components often enable
the end user to save power by keeping power off when it is not
needed. Turn-on settling time is defined as the time required, after
the application of power (cold start), for the output voltage to
reach its final value within a specified error. The two major factors
affecting this are the active circuit settling time and the time
required for the thermal gradients on the chip to stabilize.
Figure 12a shows the turn-on settling and transient response test
circuit. Figure 12b shows the turn-on characteristic of the
AD1582. This characteristic is generated from cold-start operation
and represents the true turn-on waveform after power-up.
Figure 12c shows the fine settling characteristics of the AD1582.
Typically, the reference settles to within 0.1% of its final value
in about 100 µs.
The device can momentarily draw excessive supply current
when V
is slightly below the minimum specified level.
SUPPLY
Power supply resistance must be low enough to ensure reliable
turn-on. Fast power supply edges minimize this effect.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Many A/D and D/A converters present transient current loads
to the reference, and poor reference response can degrade the
converter’s performance. The AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585
family of references provides superior static and dynamic line
and load regulation. Since these series references are capable of
both sourcing and sinking large current loads, they exhibit
excellent settling characteristics.
Figure 13 displays the line transient response for the AD1582.
The circuit used to perform such a measurement is shown in
Figure 12a, where the input supply voltage is toggled from 5 V
to 10 V and the input and output capacitors are each 0.22 µF.
Figures 14 and 15 show the load transient settling characteristics
for the AD1582 when load current steps of 0 mA to +5 mA
and 0 mA to –1 mA are applied. The input supply voltage
remains constant at 5 V, the input decoupling and output load
capacitors are 4.7 µF and 1 µF, respectively, and the output current
is toggled. For both positive and negative current loads, the
reference responses settle very quickly and exhibit initial voltage
spikes less than 10 mV.
