8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview

The REF54 is family of high precision series references that are designed for excellent initial voltage accuracy

and drift over time and temperature, and offer excellent noise while consuming low power. The Figure 8-1 is a

simplified block diagram of the REF54 showing basic band-gap topology.

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 EN Pin

The output of REF54 comes in active state when EN pin voltage is more than 1.6V or EN pin is left floating. The

enable feature of the REF54 is designed to achieve low quiescent current (IQ) . No current is drawn from EN pin

when EN pin is voltage is lower than VIN pin voltage. The device must be in active mode for normal operation.

The REF54 can be placed in shutdown mode by pulling the EN pin low. When in shutdown mode, the output of

the device is disabled and the quiescent current of the device reduces to 1.2µA in shutdown mode. The EN pin

must not be pulled higher than VIN supply voltage. See the electrical table for logic high and logic low voltage

levels.

8.3.2 NR Pin

Decoupling NR pin in REF54 creates a low pass filter in combination with the internal resistance of 14kΩ to

eliminate internal band gap noise. Unlike regular low pass filter at the output of the reference, connecting a

capacitor on NR pin does not affect the output impedance hence extra buffer is not needed. Leakage of the

capacitor directly impacts the accuracy and temperature drift. If NR functionality is used, select a capacitor which

has low leakage over temperature (film capacitors, COG are recommended). Note that using the capacitor on

NR pin also increases start-up time.
