+/- 10V reference for balanced modulator Subject description: Lower parts count way to do this? |
|
|
Hi there:
Finished a AD533 based Balanced modulator recently based on an old Electronotes design.
It needed a temp. stable +/- 10V reference for X Y and DC trim.
I came up with this, based on Elby designs work on the improved ASM VCO.

But It's been bugging me...there must be a lower parts count/more elegant way to do this. What I used is big and clunky.
perhaps A 10V ref (EG: ADR01ARZ-ND) and then invert it with an op amp (must match the op amp resistors closely....). +V references chips are everywhere, but not +/- chips?
The B-Mod reference doesn't require sourcing a lot of current.

I don't recommend using 317/337 voltage regulators as a source of reference voltage. They have big temp coefficient - about 6000 ppm.
You can use any positive voltage reference as a negative voltage reference. Below is the reference with TL431 I have used. TL431 has medium temp coeff - about 50 ppm. Resistors should be 1% with 50 ppm or better.
If you need very stable +-10V voltage reference you can use two REF01 (3-10ppm) or others. I have seen somewhere schematic for +-10V ref source using only two REF01 and nothing more but I cannot find it now.
And of course you can use any positive reference and inverting (-1) OpAmp (many schemes available) but there is always a problem with OpAmp temp drift (you should choose one with low drift - means costly) and precision resistors with low ppm.
As I can see in datasheet, AD533 has 100ppm temp drift so very stable ref voltage is not needed (50 ppm should be enough).
