3 Description

Applications with only a positive supply voltage often

require an additional stable voltage in the middle of

the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input range to

bias input bipolar signals. The REF19xx provides a

reference voltage (VREF) for the ADC and a second

highly-accurate voltage (VBIAS) that can be used to

bias the input bipolar signals.

The REF19xx offers excellent temperature drift

(25 ppm/°C, max) and initial accuracy (0.1%) on both

the VREF and VBIAS outputs while operating at a

quiescent current less than 430 μA. In addition, the

VREF and VBIAS outputs track each other with a

precision of 6 ppm/°C (max) across the temperature

range of –40°C to 85°C. All these features increase

the precision of the signal chain and decrease board

space, while reducing the cost of the system as

compared to a discrete solution. Extremely low

dropout voltage of only 10 mV allows operation from

very low input voltages, which can be very useful in

battery-operated systems.

Both the VREF and VBIAS voltages have the same

excellent specifications and can sink and source

current equally well. Very good long-term stability and

low noise levels make these devices ideally-suited for

high-precision industrial applications.
