REF6050IDGKT

Overview

The REF6050IDGKT is a high-precision series voltage reference manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package. It provides a fixed output voltage of 5 V with an initial accuracy of ±0.05% and a temperature coefficient of 3 ppm/°C. The device operates within an input voltage range of 2.7 V to 18 V and supports a maximum shunt current of 10 mA. It functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C while consuming 800 µA of supply current.

Feature Summary

• Delivers high precision with low drift characteristics suitable for demanding measurement applications
• Features a compact surface-mount VSSOP-8 package designed for space-constrained designs
• Supports wide input voltage ranges to accommodate various power supply configurations

Applications

• High-resolution data acquisition systems requiring stable reference voltages
• Industrial process control instrumentation
• Medical equipment signal conditioning circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IDGKT corresponds to the VSSOP-8 package and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the manufacturer's datasheet specifications match your design requirements for accuracy and thermal performance. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity levels before integration into production workflows.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 V output is required with tight tolerance and low temperature drift. Compare against other REF60xx variants if different output voltages or package types are needed. Consider the 800 µA quiescent current for power-sensitive applications and verify load regulation requirements against the 10 mA maximum output capability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the REF60xx family of precision voltage references from Texas Instruments. The family offers various fixed output voltages sharing similar architectural features for high accuracy. The REF6050 specifically targets applications needing a 5 V rail with superior stability compared to standard references.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same family such as REF6025 or REF6030 if voltage adjustments are acceptable. Verify package compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting with other manufacturers' precision references.
