DESCRIPTION
The VRE4100 is a low cost, high precision
bandgap reference that operates from +5V. The
device features low noise, digital error correction,
and an SOIC-8 package. The ultrastable output
is 0.05% accurate with a temperature coefficient
as low as 1.0 ppm/°C. The improvement in
overall accuracy is made possible by using
EEPROM registers and CMOS DAC’s for
temperature and initial error correction. The DAC
trimming is done after assembly which eliminates
assembly related shifts.
The VRE4100 is recommended for use as a
reference for 14, 16, or 18 bit data converters
which require a precision reference.
The
VRE4100 offers superior performance over
standard on-chip references commonly found
with data converters.

High temperature and mechanical stress can effect the initial accuracy of the VRE4100 series
references.See discussion on output accuracy.
The temperature coefficient is determined by the box method. See discussion on temperature
performance. All units are 100% tested over temperature.
The minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output voltage drops by 0.5% from nominal.
Based on 1.024V output. Noise is linearly proportional to V
REF.
Defined as change in 25°C output voltage after cycling device over operating temperature range.
Line and load regulation are measured with pulses and do not include output voltage changes due to self
heating.

BASIC CIRCUIT CONNECTION
Figure 3 shows the proper connection of the
VRE4100 series voltage reference.
To achieve the specified performance, pay careful
attention to the layout. Commons should be
connected to a single point to minimize interconnect
resistances. This will reduce voltage errors, noise
pickup, and noise coupled from the power supply.
TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
The VRE4100 is designed for applications where
the initial error at room temperature and drift over
temperature are important to the user. For many
instrument manufacturers, a voltage reference with
a temperature coefficient of 1ppm/°C makes it
possible to eliminate a system temperature
calibration, a slow and costly process.
Of the three TC specification methods (slope,
butterfly, and box), the box method is most
commonly used. A box is formed by the min/max
limits for the nominal output voltage over the
operating temperature range. The equation follows:

This method corresponds more accurately to the
method of test and provides a closer estimate of
actual error than the other methods. The box
method guarantees limits for the temperature error
but does not specify the exact shape or slope of the
device under test.

For example a designer who needs a 14-bit
accurate data acquisition system over the industrial
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), will need a
voltage reference with a temperature coefficient
(TC) of 1.0ppm/°C if the reference is allowed to
contribute an error equivalent to 1LSB. Figure 3
shows the required reference TC vs. T change from
25°C for resolution ranging from 8 bits to 20 bits.
