3 Description

Applications with only a positive supply voltage often

require additional stable voltage in the middle of

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

bias input bipolar signals. The REF20xx 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 REF20xx offers excellent temperature drift

(8 ppm/°C, maximum) and initial accuracy (0.05%)

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 (maximum) across the

temperature range of –40°C to 125°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.
