Voltage references are electronic components used in electronic circuits and systems for the purpose of providing a stable and controlled voltage output, regardless of varying conditions. They are essential in most applications involving power management and control. REF02BU is a popular voltage reference IC from Texas Instruments, intended for use in precision applications requiring high accuracy and low reference voltage drift. It is designed to provide a relatively fixed output voltage for supply rails up to 28V.

A voltage reference circuit has two main parts - a reference source/device and an error amplifier. The reference source provides a potential or voltage, and this potential is adjusted by an error amplifier to create an output voltage that is precisely set by the reference source. In the case of the REF02BU, the reference source is a bandgap transistor, and the amplifier section is composed of two op-amps connected in series-feedback configuration.

The core of the REF02BU circuit is a bandgap voltage reference, which is a circuit based on transistors that provide a relatively constant output voltage despite changes in temperature, trans-conductance and component ageing. The circuit consists of two transistors operating in a common-base configuration. The circuit operates on two principles of operation - the first being transistor base-emitter voltages that track with reference to temperature, and the second being the balance between these voltages. As temperature increases, the voltage drops at the base-emitter junction of the transistor, thus creating a balanced voltage relative to temperature. This is one of the main features of the REF02BU - its very low temperature coefficient.

Once the bandgap reference voltage has been established, the error amplifier takes over to ensure that the output voltage will remain stable and accurate, despite changes in input voltage or load. The amplifier is composed of two operational amplifiers (op-amps) connected in series-feedback configuration, providing very precise voltage regulation. The input voltage is compared to the reference source (bandgap reference) to determine if the output voltage should remain the same or be adjusted. If the output voltage is not equal to the reference voltage, the op-amps work to increase the output voltage or decrease it as necessary.

The REF02BU 2.5V precision voltage reference provides precise control of the output voltage, with an absolute accuracy of 0.006% (60ppm) over temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, and voltage regulator stability of 20ppm per 1000 hours of operation. This makes it a great choice for high-precision applications, where precise and stable voltage regulation is essential. It is also extremely low-power and can operate down to only 6mA at 5V. This makes it a suitable choice for battery operated systems, where power consumption is an important factor.

The REF02BU precision voltage reference is an excellent choice for applications requiring precise and stable voltage regulation, and is used in a wide range of applications such as power management ICs, regulators, data converters, industrial control, automotive and instrumentation. Thanks to its highly accurate and stable output, it is particularly well suited for applications involving precision sensing and measurement instruments, analog-to-digital conversion, voltage control and data acquisition.
