GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADR280 is a 1.2 V band gap core reference with excellent
line regulation and power supply rejection designed specically
for applications experiencing heavy dynamic supply variations,
such as data converter references in GSM, GPRS, and 3G
mobile station applications. Devices such as the AD6535, that has
an analog baseband IC with on-board baseband and audio codecs,
voltage regulators, and battery charger rely on the ADR280’s
ability to reject input battery voltage variations during RF power
amplier activity.
In addition to mobile stations, the ADR280 is suitable for a variety of general-purpose applications. Most band gap references
include internal gain for specic outputs, which simplies the
user’s design, but compromises on the cost, form factor, and
exibility. The ADR280, on the other hand, optimizes the band
gap core voltage and allows users to tailor the voltage, current, or
transient response by simply adding their preferred op amps.
The ADR280 operates on a wide supply voltage range from 2.4 V
to 5.5 V. It is available in compact 3-lead SOT-23 and
SC70
packages. The device is specied over the extended indus-
trial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

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 ADR280
features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADR280 provides the basic core 1.2 V band gap reference.
It contains two NPN transistors, Q9 and Q17, with their emitter
areas scaled in a xed ratio. The difference in their Vbes produces
a PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature) voltage that
cancels the CTAT (complementary to absolute temperature) Q9
Vbe voltage. As a result, a core band gap voltage that is almost a
constant 1.2 V over temperature is generated (see Figure 2). Precision laser trimming of the internal resistors and other proprietary
circuit techniques are used to enhance the initial accuracy, temperature curvature, and temperature drift performance.
Figure 2. Simplied Architecture
APPLICATIONS
The ADR280 should be decoupled with a 0.1 µF ceramic cap at
the output for optimum stability. It is also good practice to
include 0.1 µF ceramic caps at the IC supply pin. These capacitors should be mounted close to their respective pins (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. Basic Conguration
The low supply voltage input pin V– can be elevated above
ground; a 1.2 V differential voltage can therefore be established
above V– (see Figure 4).

The ADR280 provides the core 1.2 V band gap voltage and is
able to drive a maximum load of only 100 µA. Users can simply
buffer the output for high current or sink/source current applications, such as ADC or LCD driver references (see Figure 5).
Figure 5. Buffered Output
Users can also tailor any specic need for voltage and dynamics
with an external op amp and discrete components (see Figure 5).
Depending on the specic op amp and PCB layout, it may be
necessary to add a compensation capacitor, C2, to prevent gain
peaking and oscillation. The exact value of C2 needed requires
some trial and error but usually falls in the range of a few pF.

Adding one more buffer to the previous circuit boosts the current
to the level that is limited only by the buffer U2 current handling
capability (see Figure 9).

LOW COST, LOW POWER CURRENT SOURCE
Because of its low power characteristics, the ADR280 can be
converted to a current source with just a setting resistor. In addition to the ADR280 current capability, the supply voltage and the
load limit the maximum current. The circuit in Figure 7 produces
100 µA with 2 V compliance at 5 V supply. The load current is

Negative Reference
A negative reference can be precisely congured without using
any expensive tight tolerance resistors, as shown in Figure 10.
The voltage difference between V

Boosted Reference with Scalable Output
A precision user dened output with boosted current capability can be implemented with the circuit shown in Figure 11. In
this circuit, U2 forces VO to be equal to V
regulating the turn-on of M1; the load current is therefore furnished by the 5 V supply. For higher output voltage, U2 must
be changed and the supply voltage of M1 and U2 must also be
elevated and separated from the U1 input voltage. In this conguration, a 100 mA load is achievable at a 5 V supply. The higher
the supply voltage, the lower the current handling is because of
the heat generated on the MOSFET. For heavy capacitive loads,
additional buffering is needed at the output to enhance the
transient response.

GSM and 3G Mobile Station Applications
The ADR280 voltage reference is ideal for use with analog baseband ICs in GSM and 3G mobile station applications. Figure 12
illustrates the use of the ADR280 with the AD6535 GSM analog
baseband. The AD6535 provides all of the data converters and
power management functions needed to implement a GSM
mobile station, including baseband and audio codecs, voltage
regulators, and a battery charger. Besides low current consumption and a small footprint, the ADR280 is optimized for excellent
power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) necessary for optimum
AD6535 device performance when the main battery voltage
uctuates during RF power amplier activity.
