Drift and noise — the specs that set system accuracy
The REF5020AQDRQ1: The 8 ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±0.1% initial tolerance define the reference error budget across temperature. The 10 mA output current is enough to drive the reference input of multiple converters or an external buffer without additional stages.
8-SOIC footprint and supply range
Quiescent supply current is 1.2 mA, which matters for always-on sensor modules where the reference sits powered continuously.
