Negative Reference
A negative reference can be precisely configured without using
any expensive tight tolerance resistors, as shown in Figure 10.
The voltage difference between V
OUT
and V– is 1.2 V. Since V
OUT
is at virtual ground, U2 will close the loop by forcing the V– pin
to be the negative reference output.

Boosted Reference with Scalable Output
A precision user defined output with boosted current capabil-
ity can be implemented with the circuit shown in Figure 11. In
this circuit, U2 forces V
O
to be equal to V
REF
(1 + R2/R1) by
regulating the turn-on of M1; the load current is therefore fur-
nished by the 5 V supply. For higher output voltage, U2 must
be changed and the supply voltage of M1 and U2 must also be
elevated and separated from the U1 input voltage. In this config-
uration, a 100 mA load is achievable at a 5 V supply. The higher
the supply voltage, the lower the current handling is because of
the heat generated on the MOSFET. For heavy capacitive loads,
additional buffering is needed at the output to enhance the
transient response.

GSM and 3G Mobile Station Applications
The ADR280 voltage reference is ideal for use with analog base-
band ICs in GSM and 3G mobile station applications. Figure 12
illustrates the use of the ADR280 with the AD6535 GSM analog
baseband. The AD6535 provides all of the data converters and
power management functions needed to implement a GSM
mobile station, including baseband and audio codecs, voltage
regulators, and a battery charger. Besides low current consump-
tion and a small footprint, the ADR280 is optimized for excellent
power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) necessary for optimum
AD6535 device performance when the main battery voltage
fluctuates during RF power amplifier activity.
