Low-cost precisi
10V DC referenc
checking DMMs
Ever checked the calibration of your digital
multimeter? OK, we know . . . you haven’t
because there’s no easy or cheap way of
doing it. But now you can, with this low-cost
precision DC voltage reference. Without any
adjustment it will provide you with a source
of 10.000V DC accurate to within ±5mV or
±0.05%.

OST OF US DON’T ever get our
DMMs calibrated, though we
know that they do drift out of calibration over years of use. However, if you
are using them during the course of
your work, they should be checked
every year or so – otherwise how can
you trust the readings?
The problem is, it can cost quite a
lot to send a DMM away to a standards
lab for calibration – more than many
DMMs are worth. So generally we
either hope for the best or simply buy
a new DMM if we suspect that our
existing meter has drifted too far out
of calibration.

Fig.1: block diagram
of the AD587 10V
voltage reference. It
consists of a buried
zener diode and its
associated current
source, plus op amp
IC1 which operates
as an adjustable
gain buffer stage.
Buried zeners have
their avalanche zone
several μm inside
the oxide layer and
so do not suffer from
long-term drift or
‘walkout’.
Back in the 1970s, when DMMs first
became available, the only practical
DC voltage reference was still the Weston cell. This wet chemical ‘primary
cell’ had been developed in 1893 and
subsequently became the international
standard for EMF/voltage in 1911. It
produced an accurate 1.0183V reference which could be used to calibrate
DMMs and other instruments.
Unfortunately, Weston cells were
fairly expensive and few technicians
had direct access to one for meter
calibration. As a result, a reasonablyfresh mercury cell was often used as a
kind of ‘poor man’s’ voltage reference.
Fresh mercury cells have a terminal
voltage very close to 1.3566V at 20°C
and the voltage falls quite slowly to
about 1.3524V after a year or so. Silver
oxide cells were also used for the same
purpose, having a stable terminal voltage very close to 1.55V.
Of course, batteries have a tendency
to obey ‘Murphy’s Law’ and usually
turn out to have quietly expired just
before you need them. And although

If you have access to a high-precision bench multimeter like this one, you can tweak
the output of your 10V Reference so that it is really close to 10.00000V. Mind you, the
last one or two digits will always “bobble about” due to residual noise superimposed
on the 10V Reference’s output and also due to the normal digital uncertainty of the
last digit in such a precision instrument. The bench multimeter also needs to have
been calibrated within the last year or so in order to be absolutely certain that its
readings are as accurate as possible.
mercury and silver oxide cells have
quite a long life, especially if you use
them purely as a voltage reference,
they certainly aren’t immune to this
problem. So these batteries make a
pretty flaky voltage reference, at best.
Fortunately, in the 1980s, semiconductor makers developed a relatively
low-cost source of stable and accurate
DC voltage: the monolithic voltage reference (MVR). This is basically a very
accurate voltage regulator. It produces
a precise regulated DC output voltage
when fed with unregulated DC power
but unlike the more familiar 3-terminal
regulators, it can supply very little
current.
The Analog Devices AD587 device
used in this new Precision 10V Reference Mk.2 incorporates a number of
recent advances in MVR technology.
These include an ion-implanted ‘bursiliconchip.com.au
ied’ zener reference diode plus high
stability thin-film resistors on the wafer. These resistors are laser-trimmed
to minimise drift and provide higher
initial accuracy.
The AD587 also operates from an
unregulated input voltage of between
+15V and +18V, with a quiescent current of just 4mA. This is somewhat
lower than earlier MVRs, making it
very suitable for battery-powered
operation.
Block diagram
Fig.1 shows what’s inside an AD587.
The voltage reference cell itself is at
upper left, consisting of the ‘buried’
zener and its current source.
The other main circuit section is op
amp A1, used as an adjustable gain
buffer. RF, RI & RT are high-stability
thin-film resistors, laser trimmed to
allow the gain of A1 to be set with a
high degree of precision. The output
voltage (between pins VOUT and GND)
is initially set to 10.000V ±5mV for the
AD587KNZ version used here, without
any external adjustment. In addition,
temperature compensation inside the
cell gives the basic voltage reference a
very low temperature drift coefficient
– typically ±10ppm/°C.
Note that a slightly lower-spec version of the AD587 is also available,
the AD587JNZ. This offers an initial
(untrimmed) DC output voltage of
10.000V ±10mV, with a temperature
drift coefficient of ±20ppm/°C. So you
could use it as an ‘almost as good’ alternative if the KNZ version becomes
unavailable.
Although the ‘untrimmed’ initial
accuracy of the AD587KNZ (10.0V
±0.05%) is good enough for calibrating most low-cost DMMs, the chip can
also be easily trimmed to improve its
accuracy by a factor of greater than
10 times, ie, to around ±0.002%. This
is done by connecting its TRIM pin
(pin 5) to a trimpot circuit, connected
between the VOUT and GND terminals. This allows the gain of A1 to be
adjusted to give an output anywhere
within the range 9.900V to 10.300V,

with no adverse effect on temperature
stability.
If this trim adjustment range seems
a little wide, this has been done deliberately to provide the option of setting
the output voltage to 10.240V. It can
then be used as a reference source for
binary DACs and ADCs (more about
this later).
The 400mV adjustment range does
mean that in order to accurately set
the output voltage, we have to use
a 25-turn trimpot in series with two
fixed resistors. And of course, in
order to take advantage of this trimming feature, you really need access
to an even higher precision voltage
reference to compare it with. Either
that, or access to a recently calibrated
high-resolution DMM.
Circuit details
Refer now to Fig.2 for the complete
circuit details. There’s not a lot to it
– just the AD587KNZ precision voltage reference (IC1) plus some extra
circuitry to allow the AD587KNZ to
run from two 9V alkaline batteries
to provide a truly portable reference.
This additional circuitry is based
around IC2, a programmable CMOS
46 Silicon Chip
timer. It provides a 90-second timeout
function and controls IC1’s operation
via Q1, a BUZ71 (or IRF1405) Nchannel Mosfet.
IC2 (4541B) is basically a binary
counter with 16 stages. It can be configured as either an 8, 10, 13 or 16-stage
counter by changing the logic levels
to which its two ‘CSEL’ programming
inputs (pins 12 & 13) are connected.
In this circuit, both these inputs have
been connected to +9V (ie, tied high),
to configure the counter to use its full
16 stages.
The 4541B also contains its own
clock oscillator, the frequency of which
is set by the RC timing components
connected to pins 1, 2 & 3. In this case,
the values specified give an overall
timer period of around 85-90 seconds.
IC2’s output at pin 8 drives Mosfet
Q1’s gate via a 100Ω resistor. As a result, each time pushbutton switch S1
is pressed (and resets the counter), pin
8 of IC2 goes high and Q1 turns on and
connects IC1 across the 18V supply
for the duration of the 85-90s timing
period. At the end of this period, pin
8 switches low and Q1 turns off to
remove power from IC1 and conserve
battery life.
Pressing S1 again starts the timing
period all over again, if further calibration checks are necessary.
Power comes from the two 9V batteries, while D1 & D2 act as voltage
clamps to provide reverse polarity
protection if a battery is connected the
wrong way around. LED1 and its associated 12kΩ current limiting resistor
are connected across IC1’s supply pins,
so the LED functions as a power-on
indicator. Using a high-efficiency 3mm
blue LED gives a very visible indication while adding less than 1.5mA to
the total current drain.
By the way, you may be wondering
why we have used a BUZ71 or IRF1405
power Mosfet for Q1 when IC1 and
LED1 only draw a maximum of 16mA
or so, even with a 10mA external load
(the maximum current the AD587 can
provide). This is because the BUZ71
(or IRF1405) offers a much lower onresistance than smaller low-power
Mosfets like the 2N7000. This provides
a much lower voltage drop and allows
us to achieve significantly longer life
from the 9V batteries.
The connections for IC1 itself are
easy to follow. The 1µF capacitor connected between pin 8 (NR) and pin 4

Fig.3: follow this layout diagram build the unit but note that switch S1 and the two binding post terminals are soldered
to the PCB only after they have been mounted on the case lid (see text). Leave out trimpot VR1 and the 2.2kΩ and 6.8kΩ
resistors if you don’t intend calibrating the unit. Note: the prototype PCB shown in the photo lacks the reverse-polarity
protection diodes and the strain relief holes for the battery leads included in the final version.
(GND) is there to provide additional
low-pass filtering of any noise generated by the AD587’s buried zener.
It works in conjunction with series
resistor RS, which is shown in Fig.1.
Trimpot VR1 and its two range setting resistors are for ‘trimming’ the
output voltage of IC1 to the desired
10.000V or 10.240V. However, note
that there’s no point in fitting these
parts unless you have access to a very
accurately-calibrated DMM, to compare it against while you’re doing the
trimming adjustment. In fact, these
parts must be left out if you have no
way of performing the calibration,
otherwise they will upset the accuracy.
Conversely, if you are able to carry
out calibration, the resistor values
shown (2.2kΩ & 6.8kΩ) will give a
trimming range centred on 10.000V.
Alternatively, if you want the trimming range to be centred on 10.240V,
change the 2.2kΩ ‘upper’ resistor to
8.2kΩ and change the 6.8kΩ ‘lower’
resistor to 1.0kΩ.
In both cases trimpot VR1 should
have a value of 1kΩ as shown, and
should be of the 25-turn cermet type.

flush against the PCB and secure it
using an M3 x 6mm machine screw,
nut and shakeproof washer.
Do the screw up firmly, then solder
the Mosfets leads to their respective
pads (note: don’t solder the leads first,
otherwise the PCB tracks will crack
as the mounting screw is tightened
down).
LED1 can now be installed, making
sure its longer anode (A) lead is orientated as shown. It should be mounted
about 7mm proud of the PCB (use a
cardboard spacer). Solder just one lead
and don’t trim the leads at this stage,
as you may have to adjust its height
later, after the PCB assembly has been
mounted on the rear of the lid.
Next, pass the four battery snap
leads through the strain-relief holes
and solder them to the PCB. That done,
cover these connections with silicone
to prevent the leads from breaking.
Be sure to connect the red wire
from each battery snap to the pad
marked ‘+’.
Your PCB assembly will now be
finished and can be placed aside while
you prepare the case – or strictly, the
case lid since there are no holes to be
drilled in the case itself.
Drilling the case lid
Fig.4 shows the drilling template
for the case lid. You have to drill/ream
seven holes in all – for the output terminals, switch S1, power LED and PCB
mounting, plus a screwdriver access
hole for trimpot VR1 (if necessary).
Fig.4 shows the location and size
of each of these holes. You can either
follow this diagram to mark out the
lid for drilling or you can copy it, cut
it to size and attach it directly to the
lid (using double-sided tape) for use
as a drilling template. The drilling
template is also available for download
from our website (free for subscribers).
Use a small pilot drill to start the
holes, then remove the template and
carefully drill and ream them to size.
Deburr each hole with an oversize drill
or in the case of the three larger holes,
a small rat-tail file.
Now for the front panel artwork.
This artwork can be obtained either by
photocopying Fig.5 onto an adhesivebacked label or it can be downloaded
as a PDF file from the SILICON CHIP
website (again, free for subscribers)
and printed out. It can then be covered
with a self-adhesive transparent film
to protect it from finger marks.
Alternatively, it can be photocopied
onto plain paper, hot-laminated into
a clear protective sleeve and then attached to the lid using double-side
tape or silicone adhesive. The various
holes can then be cut out using a sharp
hobby knife.
Pushbutton switch S1 can now be
mounted on the lid, taking care to
orientate it so that its two connection
lugs are aligned along the long axis.
This is necessary so they will later
fit through their holes in the centre
of the PCB. That done, attach the two
output terminals (binding posts) to the
lid, making sure that the red terminal
goes to the ‘+’ position and the black
terminal to the ‘-’ position.

Analog Devices make 18 different versions of the AD587, many of them in small outline
(SOIC) SMD plastic or CERDIP packages. By contrast, the AD587KNZ and AD587JNZ both
come in 8-pin PDIP packages and are quite reasonably priced.
Both are currently available in Australia from suppliers such as element14 and RS
Components. For example element14 (au.element14.com) has the AD587KNZ (order
code 2143134) available for $13.57 plus GST, while the lower-spec AD587JNZ (order code
9605169) costs $9.57 plus GST.

lid; and (3) the binding post spigots
pass down through their matching
holes in the PCB. The PCB can then
be fastened in position using two more
M3 x 6mm machine screws which pass
through the lid and into the spacers.
Once it’s in place, the switch lugs

necessary, the solder connection on
the LED lead can then be melted and
the LED adjusted so that it just protrudes through its front-panel mounting hole. The remaining LED lead can
then be soldered and the first lead then
redone with some fresh solder.
Finally, the battery snap leads can be
fitted to a pair of new 9V alkaline batteries, after which the batteries can be
held together using a strip of doublesided adhesive tape between them.
Two more strips of double-sided tape
are then used to secure the batteries
to the bottom of the case, after which
the lid/PCB assembly can be fitted and
the lid fastened down using the four
countersunk M4 screws supplied.

Using it
There are no adjustments to be
made to the unit, unless (as previously
stated) you have access to a highprecision, recently-calibrated DMM to
calibrate it against. If you’re not calibrating the unit, you will be relying on
the ±5mV or better precision provided
by the AD587KNZ chip itself. In that
case, check that trimpot VR1 and/or its
two associated resistors have been left
out of circuit, otherwise the accuracy
of the unit will be compromised.
Using the Precision 10V Reference
is simple – just press S1 to turn the
the unit on for about 90s. As soon as
you press S1, LED1 should light to
show that the unit is operating and
providing 10.000V ±5mV at its output
terminals, ready for calibrating your
DMM or whatever.
If you haven’t finished making
measurements when LED1 turns off
(ie, when the unit unit powers down),
it’s simply a matter of pressing S1 again
to power it up for another 90s.

Incidentally, you’ll find that when
you first connect the battery snap leads
to the batteries, LED1 will turn on to
show that the unit is operating. This is
normal and is simply due to the way
that the 4541B timer chip works.
Finally, if you wish to calibrate the
unit, make sure VR1 and its associated
resistors have been installed. It’s then
just a matter of monitoring the output
on a 6.5-digit (or better) bench DMM
and adjusting VR1 to get a reading
as close as possible to 10.00000V (or
SC
10.24000V if you prefer).
