VRE410 Precision Dual Voltage Reference FEATURES • • • • • • ±10 V Output, ± 1.6 mV Temperature Drift: 1.0 ppm/°C Low Noise: 6 μVP-P (0.1-10 Hz) Tracking Error: 0.3 mV Excellent Line Regulation: 6 ppm/V Typical Surface Mount Package APPLICATIONS The VRE410 is recommended for use as a reference for high precision D/A and A/D converters which require an external precision reference. The device is also ideal for calibrating scale factor on high resolution A/D converters. The VRE410 offers superior performance over monolithic references. DESCRIPTION The VRE410 is a low cost, high precision, ±10 V reference. Available in a 14-pin SMT package, the device is ideal for new designs that need a high performance reference. The device provides ultrastable ±10 V output with ±1.6 mV initial accuracy and a temperature coefficient of 1.0 ppm/°C. This improvement in accuracy is made possible by a unique, patented multipoint laser compensation technique. Another key feature of this reference is the 0.5 mV tracking error between the positive and negative output voltages over the full operating temperature range. This is extremely important in high performance systems for reducing overall system errors. SELECTION GUIDE Initial Error (mV) Temp. Coeff. (ppm/°C) © Apex Microtechnology Inc. All rights r

VRE410 BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 12: Block Diagram THEORY OF OPERATION The following discussion refers to the block diagram in Figure 12. In operation, approximately 6.3 V is applied to the noninverting input of the op amp. The voltage is amplified by the op amp to produce a 10 V output. The gain is determined by the networks R1 and R2: G=1 + R2/R1. The 6.3 V zener diode is used because it is the most stable diode over time and temperature. The zener operating current is derived from the regulated output voltage through R3. This feedback arrangement provides a closely regulated zener current. This...
