1 Overview
The REF35EVM is a voltage reference evaluation module that demonstrates the REF35 integrated circuit from
Texas Instruments (TI).
The REF35 is an ultra-low power voltage reference with maximum 10 ppm/C temperature drift. The REF35 is
used primarily as a voltage reference for low power data converters.
The REF35 is operable from VREF + VDO to 6 V. The REF35 uses only 1.4 μA of current in active mode. This
device comes with an enable pin that allows the device to be set in shutdown mode. The REF35 consumes only
0.1 μA of current under the shutdown condition. REF35 is available for a wide range of applications such as
flow transmitters, blood glucose monitors, servo drive control modules, power quality analyzers, fault indicators,
oscilloscopes and process analytics.
The REF35EVM features a user selectable-wide VIN input which uses a TPS7B8150 linear regulator, allowing
the user to widen the input range to 40 V if desired. The VIN header is connectable to an external power supply
to provide power. All of the REF35 input and output pins are accessible for external connection via test headers.

2 Quick Setup Guide
This section describes the setup to quickly check the functionality of the REF35EVM.
2.1 Electrostatic Discharge Warning
Many of the components on the REF35EVM are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Customers are advised to observe proper ESD handling precautions when unpacking and handling the EVM,
including the use of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
CAUTION
Failure to observe ESD handling procedures may result in damage to EVM components.
2.2 Power Supply Setup and Functional Test
Normal operation:
If directly connecting the REF35 to the lab supply, a A 5-V power supply capable of 50 mA of current is required
(to handle load transients). Set the Power Select jumpers to Lab. The REF35 consumes 1.4 uA of current during
normal operating and has a maximum 10 mA of output current for maintaining regulated voltage. During start-up,
the REF35 can momentarily consume ISC to charge the output capacitors.
Connect the positive power supply lead to the VIN_REF pin on the REF Power header pin on the left side of the
board. Connect the negative power supply lead to the GND pin on the REF Power header pin.
If powering the REF35 through the on-EVM LDO, an A 5-V (up to the LDO max voltage, 40 V) power supply
capable of 50 mA of current is required. Set the Power Select jumpers to LDO.
Connect the positive power supply lead to the VIN_REF pin on the REF Power header pin on the left side of the
board. Connect the negative power supply lead to the GND pin on the REF Power header pin.
This EVM features selectable loads, where the loads are pulled to GND or VCC.
Connect a voltmeter to the VREF pin on the right side of the board. Connect the negative voltmeter terminal to
GND. An SMA cable can also be used to measure the same output.
Note
Test points TP8, TP9, TP10, and TP11 are not soldered to the ground plane. The user can connect
TP8, TP9, TP10, and TP11 to an external source ground if desired. Additionally, SMA connector J1 is
not soldered to the ground plane.
The output voltage of the REF35125QDBVR is 1.25 V.
Shutdown mode: Move the jumper pin from EN to SHDN to place the part in shutdown mode. The REF35 is in
active mode if the jumper pin is either in EN or not present.
