PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD680 is a bandgap voltage reference that provides a fixed
2.5 V output from inputs between 4.5 V and 36 V. The architecture of the AD680 enables the reference to be operated at a
very low quiescent current while still realizing excellent dc
characteristics and noise performance. Trimming of the high
stability thin-film resistors is performed for initial accuracy and
temperature coefficient, resulting in low errors over temperature.
The precision dc characteristics of the AD680 make it ideal for
use as a reference for D/A converters which require an external
precision reference. The device is also ideal for A/D converters
and, in general, can offer better performance than the standard
on-chip references.
Based upon the low quiescent current of the AD680, which
rivals that of many incomplete two-terminal references, the
AD680 is recommended for low power applications such as
hand-held battery equipment.
A temperature output pin is provided on the 8-lead package
versions of the AD680. The temperature output pin provides an
output voltage that varies linearly with temperature and allows
the AD680 to be configured as a temperature transducer while
providing a stable 2.5 V output.
The AD680 is available in five grades. The AD680AN is specified
for operation from –40°C to +85°C, while the AD680JN is
specified for 0°C to 70°C operation. Both the AD680AN and
AD680JN are available in 8-lead plastic DIP packages. The
AD680AR is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C,
while the AD680JR is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation. Both
are available in an 8-lead Small Outline IC (SOIC) package.
The AD680JT is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation and is
available in a 3-pin TO-92 package.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD680 bandgap reference operates on a very low quiescent
current which rivals that of many two-terminal references.
This makes the complete, higher accuracy AD680 ideal for
use in power sensitive applications.
2. Laser trimming of both initial accuracy and temperature
coefficients results in low errors over temperature without the
use of external components. The AD680AN and AD680AR
have a maximum variation of 6.25 mV between –40°C
and +85°C.
3. The AD680 noise is low, typically 8 µV p-p from 0.1 Hz to
10 Hz. Spectral density is also low, typically 250 nV/√Hz.
4. The temperature output pin on the 8-lead package versions
enables the AD680 to be configured as a temperature
transducer.
5. Plastic DIP packaging provides machine insertability, while
SOIC packaging provides surface mount capability. TO-92
packaging offers a cost effective alternative to two-terminal
references, offering a complete solution in the same package
in which two-terminal references are usually found.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Bandgap references are the high-performance solution for low
supply voltage operation. A typical precision bandgap will consist of a reference core and buffer amplifier. Based on a new,
patented bandgap reference design (Figure 2), the AD680
merges the amplifier and the core bandgap function to produce
a compact, complete precision reference. Central to the device
is a high gain amplifier with an intentionally large Proportional
To Absolute Temperature (PTAT) input offset. This offset is
controlled by the area ratio of the amplifier input pair, Q1 and
Q2, and is developed across resistor R1. Transistor Q12’s base
emitter voltage has a Complementary To Absolute Temperature
(CTAT) characteristic. Resistor R2 and the parallel combination of R3 and R4 “multiply” the PTAT voltage across R1.
Trimming resistors R3 and R4 to the proper ratio produces a
temperature invariant 2.5 V at the output. The result is an
accurate, stable output voltage accomplished with a minimum
number of components.

An additional feature with this approach is the ability to minimize
the noise while maintaining very low overall power dissipation
for the entire circuit. Frequently it is difficult to independently
control the dominant noise sources for bandgap references:
bandgap transistor noise and resistor thermal noise. By properly
choosing the operating currents of Q1 and Q2 and separately
sizing R1, low wideband noise is realized while maintaining
1 mW typical power dissipation.
