Typical Applications
ADR4525BRZ-R7 is suitable for 6 applications: Precision Data Acquisition Systems, Industrial Process Control, Medical Instrumentation, Portable Instrumentation, Test and Measurement Equipment, Automotive Electronics.
Precision Data Acquisition Systems
The ADR4525BRZ-R7 provides a stable 2.5V reference for high-resolution ADCs and DACs, ensuring accurate conversion. Its low noise (1.4 µV p-p) and high accuracy (±0.02%) directly improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the data acquisition chain. In a 16-bit ADC system, the reference noise contributes less than 1 LSB, preserving measurement integrity. The device's low quiescent current (0.9 mA) is beneficial for multi-channel systems where multiple references are used. Its wide supply range (2.7V to 15V) allows it to be powered from existing rails without additional regulation. The SOIC-8 package is compact, enabling dense PCB layouts in industrial data loggers and test equipment.

Key Differentiators
- Ultra-low noise of 1.4 µV p-p (vs REF5025AIDR)
- Tighter initial accuracy of ±0.02% (vs ADR4525ARZ-R7)
- Automotive grade option available (vs REF5025AIDR)
Design Notes
Place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor close to the VIN pin and a 1 µF capacitor on the OUT pin to ensure stability and reduce noise. Use a ground plane to minimize noise coupling. Keep the reference away from high-frequency digital traces to avoid interference.
The ADR4525BRZ-R7 dissipates minimal power (typically <10 mW at 5V supply), so thermal management is not critical. However, in high-temperature environments, ensure the junction temperature stays within the -40°C to +125°C range. The SOIC-8 package has a thermal resistance of approximately 150°C/W, so derate accordingly.
Do not exceed the 10 mA output current rating; for higher loads, buffer the output with an op-amp. Ensure the supply voltage is at least 0.2V above the output voltage to maintain regulation. Avoid capacitive loads greater than 10 µF on the output, as they may cause instability.
Compliance Information
RoHS and REACH compliant per distributor data. Not AEC-Q100 qualified; automotive variant ADR4525WBRZ-R7 is available.
