Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP1525/41 devices
are 2.5V and 4.096V precision voltage references that
use a combination of an advanced CMOS circuit
design and EPROM trimming to provide an initial
tolerance of ±1% (max.) and temperature stability of
±50 ppm/°C (max.). In addition to a low quiescent
current of 100 µA (max.) at 25°C, these devi ces of fer a
clear advantage over the traditional Zener techniques
in terms of stability across time and temperature. The
output v olt age is 2.5V fo r the M CP152 5 and 4.096V f or
the MCP1541. These devices are offered in SOT-23-3
and TO-92 packages, and are specified over the
industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

1.1.1 OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Output v oltage is the refere nce volt age that is availabl e
on the output pin (VOUT).
1.1.2 INPUT VOLTAGE
The input (operating) voltage is the range of voltage
that can be applied to the VIN pin and still have the
device produce the designated output voltage on the
VOUT pin.
1.1.3 OUTPUT VOLTAGE DRIFT (TCVOUT)
The output temperature coefficient or voltage drift is a
measure of how much the output voltage (VOUT) will
vary from its initial value with changes in ambient
temperature. The value specified in the electrical
specifications is measured and equal to:

1.1.4 DROPOUT VOLTAGE
The dropout voltage of these devices is measured by
reducing VIN t o the poin t where the output dr ops by 1 %.
Under the se cond itions the dropout vo lt age is equal to:
EQUATION 1-2:
The dropout voltage is affected by ambient
temperature and load current.
In Figure 2-18, the dropout voltage is shown over a
negative and positive range of output current. For
currents above zero milliamps, the dropout voltage is
positive. In this case, the voltage reference is primarily
powered by VIN. With output currents below zero
milliamps, the dropout voltage is negative. As the
output current becomes more negative, the input
current (IIN) reduces. Under this condition, the output
current begins to provide the needed power to the
voltage reference.
1.1.5 LINE REGULATION
Line regulation is a measure of the change in output
voltage (VOUT) as a function of a change in the input
voltage (VIN). This is expressed as ΔVOUT/ΔVIN and is
measured in either µV/V or ppm. For example, a 1 µ V
change in VOUT caused by a 500 mV change in VIN
would net a ΔVOUT/ΔVIN of 2 µV/V, or 2 ppm.
1.1.6 LOAD REGULATION (ΔVOUT/ΔIOUT)
Load regulation is a measure of the change in the
output voltage (VOUT) as a function of the change in
output current (IOUT). Load regulation is usually
measured in mV/mA.
1.1.7 INPUT CURRENT
The input cu rren t (opera tin g curre nt) is the cu rrent that
sinks from VIN to VSS without a load current on the out-
put pin. This c urrent i s af fec ted by tempe rature an d the
output cur rent.
1.1.8 INPUT VOLTAGE REJECTION
RATIO
The Input Voltage Rejecti on Ratio (I VRR) is a measu re
of the change in output voltage versus the change in
input voltage over frequency, as shown in Figure 2-7.
The calculation used for this plot is:
EQUATION 1-3:
1.1.9 LONG-TERM OUTPUT STABILITY
The long -term ou tput st abili ty is measu red by expos ing
the devices to an ambient temperature of 125°C
(Figure 2-9) while configured in the circuit shown in
Figure 1-1. In this test, all ele ctrical specifications of the
devices are measured periodically at +25°C.
FIGURE 1-1: Dynamic Life Test
Configuration.
1.1. 10 OUTPUT VOLTAGE HYSTERES IS
The output voltage hysteresis is a measure of the
output voltage error once the powered devices are
cycled over the entire operating temperature range.
The amount of hysteresis can be quantified by
measuring the chan ge in the +25°C output voltage after
temperat ure excursi ons fro m +25 °C to +85°C to +25°C
and also from +25°C to -40°C to +25°C.

3.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE.
3.1 Input Voltag e (VIN)
VIN functions as the positive power supply input (or
operating input). An optional 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor
can be placed at this pin i f the in put volta ge is too noisy;
it need s to be within 5 mm of this pin. The input volt age
needs to be at least 0 .2V higher than the output voltage
for normal operation.
3.2 Output Voltage (VOUT)
VOUT is an accurate reference voltage output. It can
source and sink small currents, and has a low output
impedance. A load capacitor between 1 µ F and 10 µ F
needs to be located within 5 mm of this pin.
3.3 Ground (VSS)
Normally connected directly to ground. It can be placed
at another voltage as long as all of the voltages shift
with it, and proper b y passing is observed.

4.0 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
4.1 Application Tips
4.1.1 BASIC CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION
The MCP1525 and MCP1541 voltage reference
device s shou ld be appli ed as shown in Figure 4-1 in all
applications.
FIGURE 4-1: Basic Cir cuit Configura tio n.
As shown in Figure 4-1, the input voltage is connected
to the device at the VIN input, with an optional 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor. This capacitor would be required if
the in pu t vo ltage ha s e xce s s no is e. A 0. 1 µ F ca pac it o r
would reject input voltage noise at approximately
1 to 2 MHz. Noise below this frequency will be amply
rejected by the input voltage rejectio n of the voltage ref-
erence. Noise at frequencies above 2 MHz will be
beyond the bandwidth of the voltage reference and,
consequently, not transmitted from the input pin
through the device to the output.
The load capacitance (CL) is required in order to
stabilize the voltage reference; see Section 4.1.3
“Load Capacitor”.
4.1.2 INPUT (BYPASS) CAPACITOR
The MCP1525 and MCP1541 voltage references do
not require an input capacitor across VIN to VSS.
Howeve r, for ad ded s tab ility and input volt age t ransie nt
noise reduction, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is
recommended, as shown in Figure 4-1. This capacitor
should be close to the device (within 5 mm of the pin).
4.1.3 LOAD CAPACITOR
The output capacitor from VOUT to VSS acts as a
frequenc y c ompen sation for the re ferenc es a nd c annot
be omitted. Use load capacitors between 1 µF and
10 µF to compensate these devices. A 10 µF output
capacitor has slightly better noise, and provides
additional charge for fast load transients, when
compared to a 1 µF output capacitor. This capacitor
should be close to the device (within 5 mm of the pin).
4.1.4 PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
Mechanical stress due to Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
mounting can cause the output voltage to shift from its
initial value. Devices in the SOT-23-3 package are
generally more prone to assembly stress than devices
in th e TO- 92 pac ka g e. To r e duce s tr e ss -r el ate d ou t put
volt age s hif t s, moun t t he refe rence on lo w-stress ar eas
of the PCB (i.e., away from PCB edges, screw holes
and large components).
4.1.5 OUTPUT FILTERING
If the noise at the outp ut of thes e vo lt age referenc es is
too high for the particular application, it can be easily
filtered with an external RC filter and op amp buffer.
The op amp’s input and output voltage ranges need to
include the reference output voltage.
FIGURE 4-2: Output Noise-Reducing
Filter.
The RC filter values are selected for a desired cutoff
frequency:
EQUATION 4-1:
The values that are shown in Figure 4-2 (10 kΩ and
1 µF) will create a first-order, low-pass filter at the
output of the amplifier. The cu toff frequ ency of this filter
is 15.9 Hz, and the attenuation slope is 20 dB/decade.
The MCP6021 amp lifier isolates the lo ading of this low -
pass filter from the remainder of the application circuit.
This amplifier also provides additional drive, with a
faster response time than the voltage reference.

4.2 Typical Application Circuits
4.2.1 NEGATI VE VO LTAGE REFERENCE
A negative precision voltage reference can be
generated by using the MCP1525 or MCP1541 in the
configuration shown in Figure 4-3.
FIGURE 4-3: Negative Voltage
Reference.
In this circuit, the voltage inversion is implemented
using the MCP606 and two e qual resistors. The voltage
at the output of the MCP1525 or MCP1541 voltage
referenc e drives R1, which is connec ted to the inve rting
input of the MCP606 amplifier. Since the non-inverting
input of the amplifier is biased to ground, the inverting
input w ill also b e close to gro und po ten tial. T he se cond
10 kΩ resistor is placed around the feedback loop of
the ampl ifier . Since the inv erting input of the amplifier is
high-impedance, the current generated through R1 will
also flow through R2. As a consequence, the output
voltage of the amplifier is equal to -2.5V for the
MCP1525 and -4.1 V for the MCP1 541 .
4.2.2 A/D CONVERTER REFERENCE
The MCP1525 and MCP1541 were carefully designed
to provide a voltage reference for Microchip’s 10-bit
and 12-bit families of ADCs. The circuit shown in
Figure 4-4 shows a MCP1541 configured to provid e the
reference to the MCP3201, a 12-bit ADC.
