REF6230IDGKT

Overview

The REF6230IDGKT 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 3V with an initial accuracy of ±0.05% and a temperature coefficient of 3 ppm/°C. The device operates within an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and supports input voltages up to 5.5V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum shunt current of 4 mA and a typical supply current of 1.1 mA.

Feature Summary

• Delivers high precision with low drift characteristics suitable for demanding measurement applications
• Integrates a shutdown feature to minimize power consumption during inactive periods
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount package design for efficient board space utilization

Applications

• Data acquisition systems requiring stable reference sources
• Industrial process control instrumentation
• Medical equipment signal conditioning circuits
• Portable battery-powered test devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IDGKT against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for VSSOP packages. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3V reference with 3 ppm/°C stability is required alongside low quiescent current. Compare against the REF6030 family for similar performance or the REF5030 for higher current drive capabilities. Consider the 8-VSSOP footprint constraints and thermal management requirements for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the REF62xx family of high-precision voltage references designed for general-purpose applications. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the REF6245 and REF6250, differing primarily in output voltage and specific noise specifications. The family targets cost-sensitive yet performance-critical analog front-end designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and specification include REF6230IDGKR for reel variations. For alternative sourcing, verify pin-compatible options such as the REF6030 series if slightly different drift characteristics are acceptable.
