DESCRIPTION
The VRE3050 is a low cost, high precision 5.0V
reference that operates from +10V. The device
features a buried zener for low noise and excellent
long term stability. Packaged in an 8 pin DIP and
SMT, the device is ideal for high resolution data
conversion systems.
The device provides ultrastable +5.000V output
with ±0.5000 mV (.01%) initial accuracy and a
temperature coefficient of 0.6 ppm/°C.
This
improvement in accuracy is made possible by a
unique, patented multipoint laser compensation
technique developed by Thaler Corporation.
Significant improvements have been made in
other performance parameters as well, including
initial accuracy, warm-up drift, line regulation, and
long-term stability, making the VRE3050 series
the most accurate reference available.
For enhanced performance, the VRE3050 has an
external trim option for users who want less than
0.01% initial error.
For ultra low noise
applications, an external capacitor can be
attached between the noise reduction pin and the
ground pin.
The VRE3050 is recommended for use as a
reference for 14, 16, or 18 bit data converters
which require an external precision reference.
The device is also ideal for calibrating scale factor
on high resolution data converters. The VRE3050
offers superior performance over monolithic
references.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The following discussion refers to the schematic in
figure 2 below. A FET current source is used to bias a
6.3V zener diode. The zener voltage is divided by the
resistor network R1 and R2. This voltage is then applied
to the noninverting input of the operational amplifier which
amplifies the voltage to produce a 5.000V output. The
gain is determined by the resistor networks R3 and R4:
G=1 + R4/R3. The 6.3V zener diode is used because it is
the most stable diode over time and temperature.

To achieve the specified performance, pay careful
attention to the layout. A low resistance star configuration
will reduce voltage errors, noise pickup, and noise
coupled from the power supply. Commons should be
connected to a single point to minimize interconnect
resistances.
Figure 2 Functional Block Diagram
The current source provides a closely regulated zener
current, which determines the slope of the references’
voltage vs. temperature function. By trimming the zener
current a lower drift over temperature can be achieved.
But since the voltage vs. temperature function is nonlinear
this compensation technique is not well suited for wide
temperature ranges.
Thaler Corporation has developed a nonlinear
compensation network of thermistors and resistors that is
used in the VRE series voltage references. This
proprietary network eliminates most of the nonlinearity in
the voltage vs. temperature function. By adjusting the
slope, Thaler Corporation produces a very stable voltage
over wide temperature ranges.
This network is less than 2% of the overall network
resistance so it has a negligible effect on long term
stability. Figure 3 shows the proper connection of the
VRE3050 series voltage references with the optional trim
resistor for initial error and the optional capacitor for noise
reduction.
