This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION APPLICATION INFORMATION
The REF32xx is a family of CMOS, precision The REF32xx does not require a load capacitor and
bandgap voltage references. Figure 20 shows the is stable with any capacitive load. Figure 21 shows
basic bandgap topology. Transistors Q1and Q2are typical connections required for operation of the

base-emitter voltages (Vbe1Vbe2) has a positive
temperature coefficient and is forced across resistor
R1. This voltage is amplified and added to the
base-emitter voltage of Q2, which has a negative
temperature coefficient. The resulting output voltage
is virtually independent of temperature.

The REF32xx family of references features an
extremely low dropout voltage. With the exception of
the REF3212, which has a minimum supply
requirement of 1.8V, these references can be
operated with a supply of only 5mV above the output

pulling the ENABLE/SHUTDOWN pin low. When in
Shutdown mode, the output of the REF32xx becomes
a resistive load to ground. The value of the load
depends on the model, and ranges from
approximately 100kΩto 400kΩ.

THERMAL HYSTERESIS LONG-TERM STABILITY
Thermal hysteresis for the REF32xx is defined as the Long-term stability refers to the change of the output

55ppm from 0 to 1000 hours. This parameter is
characterized by measuring 30 units at regular
intervals for a period of 1000 hours.

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
NEGATIVE REFERENCE VOLTAGE
For applications requiring a negative and positive
reference voltage, the REF32xx and OPA735 can be
used to provide a dual-supply reference from a ±5V
supply. Figure 25 shows the REF3225 used to
provide a ±2.5V supply reference voltage. The low
drift performance of the REF32xx complements the
low offset voltage and zero drift of the OPA735 to
provide an accurate solution for split-supply
applications. Care must be taken to match the
temperature coefficients of R1and R2.
DATA ACQUISITION
Data acquisition systems often require stable voltage
references to maintain accuracy. The REF32xx family
features stability and a wide range of voltages NOTE:: Bypass capacitor is not shown.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM
www.ti.com 25-Nov-2008
Addendum-Page 1
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in
a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check
http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS
compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder
temperature.
