GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The REF03 precision voltage reference provides a stable 2.5 V
output, with minimal change for variations in supply voltage,
ambient temperature, or loading conditions. Single-supply
operation over an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 33 V with
a current drain of 1 mA and good temperature stability is
achieved using an improved band gap design. Primarily
targeted at price sensitive applications, the REF03 is available
in plastic PDIPs and surface-mount small outline plastic
packages. For improved performance or −40°C to +125°C
operation, see the
ADR03 data sheet.

APPLICATIONS
The REF03 provides a stable 2.5 V output voltage with minimal
dependence on load current, line voltage, or temperature. This
voltage is typically used to set an absolute reference point in
data conversion circuits, or in analog circuits such as log amps,
4 mA to 20 mA transmitters, and power supplies. The REF03 is
of particular value in systems requiring a precision reference
using a single 5 V supply rail.
Because an on-board operational amplifier is used to amplify
the basic band gap cell voltage to 2.5 V, supply decoupling is
critical to the transient performance of a voltage reference. The
supply line should be bypassed with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor
in parallel with a 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor for best
results, as shown in
Figure 15. The bypass capacitors should
be located as close to the reference as possible. Inadequate
bypassing can lead to instabilities.
Output bypass capacitors are not generally recommended. If
necessary for high frequency output impedance reduction, the
capacitance value used should be at least 1 µF.

GENERATING AN ADJUSTABLE BIPOLAR
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
There is often a requirement for an adjustable bipolar reference.
A simple method of generating such a reference is to connect
the output of the REF03 to an op amp in an adjustable gain
configuration, as shown in

GENERATING A −2.5 V REFERENCE
Often, there is a requirement for a negative reference voltage.
The simplest method of generating a −2.5 V reference with the
REF03 is to connect an op amp in a gain of −1 to the output, as
shown in
2.5 V references.

PNP transistor, with the REF03 in a servo loop to ensure that
the output remains 2.5 V below ground.

BOOST TRANSISTOR PROVIDES HIGH
OUTPUT CURRENT
When applications require more than 10 mA current delivery,
an external boost transistor may be added to the REF03 to pass
the required current without dissipating excessive power within
the IC. The maximum current output to the system is bounded
only by the capabilities of the boost transistor.
this technique, with and without current limiting.
Current limiting may be used to prevent damage to the boost
transistor.
Figure 19A is an example of no current limit, while
Figure 19B shows the limit that occurs when the voltage dropped
across R2 exceeds one V
(0.6 V). The current limit is sensitive
