[xDevs.com project KX] LTZ1000 reference module

Hi all,
I was designing LTZ reference based on Linear direct schematics.
It's based with LTC2057 chopper amp, 1:1 output, and planned to have Vishay resistors (but don't have them yet: ((

Assembled one complete board today (as I bought only one LTZ1000A for start) with
available resistors (25-100ppm, best I could get so far).

Also except resistors and zener assembled 4 more boards. Total 3 boards with LTC2057, one with 2xLT1012 and one with 2xLT1097.

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/pcbs.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/pcbs.jpg

4-layer FR4 PCB, gold plated, red solder mask.
Idea behind construction - have zener in own shield box with 2 temperature sensors MAX6610 (one glued to top of LTZ, another on bottom).
Total 3 boards with same batch parts will be installed on bigger "carrier" board with dividers / ratios, low-noise LDO for zeners and monitor chip.
Every VREF board will have thermal shield and whole unit will have one more thermal shield.
So total voltage reference system will have three zener boards with 3 temperature sensors on each plus able to generate 1:2, 1:0.5 and prolly couple
more ratios, plus negative VREF.

I still don't see reason why need 10.00000V or 1.00000V outputs for voltage reference, as there will be DAC system later in unit anyway.
And my meters don't ask for 10 or 1V for calibration either, they want 2.0V and 20V.

Let's take a closer look on first PCB :)

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/botr.jpg

Silk screen on top and bottom around LTZ pins shows areas without copper, so there can be drilled holes if I'll desire to do so later.

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/bot.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/bot.jpg

Left side (looking on top side) have single opamp and heater control circuit, temperature sensor outputs header.
Right side have input power header (top right) for +15 V, zener opamp and precision resistors.

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/transp.jpg

Zener have force and sense outputs on bottom header.
SMD Capacitors are tantalums and polymer film. I decided to eliminate possibility of piezo effects, so did not use ceramics on board. Will have one test module with ceramic X7R's to try later, as 1206 film caps are expensive.

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/zener_bot_temp.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/zener_bot_temp.jpg

Also there is MAX6610 temperature sensor (U3) near opamp.
MAX6610 glued to LTZ1000 can on top need to have thin wires routed to header J5.

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/vref_a01.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/vref_a01.jpg

I wanted try different opamps to find which one have best performance with LTZ1000.

LT1012 version (single-amp variant of industry-known LT1013)

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/ver_1012.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/ver_1012.jpg

LT1097 version

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/ver_1097.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/ver_1097.jp

And chopper amp LTC2057 version (this is being primary at this moment, i'll have 2 more units with LTC2057, two with LTZ1000A and one LTZ1000)

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/ver_2057.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/ver_2057.jpg

Now bad part ...

Mistake with this board is that U5 power pins are REVERSED. I had component on schematics mirrored vertically, but got distracted and forgot to
. Flip power input nets as well So silly beginner mistake costed one LTC2057 amp:. (

So had to cut pin4 connection, isolate pin7 from PCB pad and bodge jump wire from a cap.

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/bodge.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/bodge.jpg

After that board worked fine, and I got magic 7V output!

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/first_ltz.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/first_ltz.jpg

Now build wonky box shield around zener.

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/zener_box.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/zener_box.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/box.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/box.jpg

Then put platinum RTD (1000ohm, Honeywell HEL-705) to measure temperature and get reference idea of?? Stable temppoint.
Later will be replaced MAX6610 after I get temperature logs in various conditions.

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/hel_zener.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/box_top.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/box_top.jpg

And close box. Box sides are soldered to power ground on PCB. There are separate grounds as well for zener and everything else, connected only on single point by resistor R9 (0 ohm on right side).

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/small/boxa.jpg

http://xdevs.com/kb/kx/vref_a01/boxa.jpg

Had done couple thermal camera photos, but forgot to copy those yet. Will post them later.

Wrapped whole thing in insulation foam (K-flex, commonly used in HVAC industry),
and now left overnight powered with 15V from Keithley 2400, and with my cal'd 2001 storing output.

When cold units just powered on, current draw is 43-42mA, drops to 39.x mA in couple minutes and then slowly decreasing, as heater in LTZ1000 warms up.
Higher temperature is - higher voltage output I get.

Awesome!
I'm doing this thing,too.
My: “LTZ1000 Module” can be used in my “DCV10V Reference Standard” - based on LTZ1000&PWM Divider.

jj3055 发表于 2014-3-29 06:17:01

Do LTZ1000 reference, the core issue is to reduce noise and improve long-term stability. Temperature coefficient is not a problem. The official circuit has many areas for improvement.

jj3055 发表于 2014-3-29 06:21:25

Infrared imager is very good, if you wish, I can send you a few of my PCB and related components, you help me test the thermal distribution.

现在正在画LTZ7V的模块化板,画好了就弄PWM升10V的,直接插上去。
PS:本来是想弄统计电阻升压的,但是问了一下唐老师,说效果很差,就不弄了。

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Some meterscalibration require for 10V source,eg. Agilent 3458,Advantest 6581 and so on.A high-stability 10V is required for those meters.Normally R-2R DAC IC's temperature stability and long-term stability mabye no good?


And I designed a 10V(0-12V)Voltage Source usingtwo of R-2R DAC IC with my Auto-calibration Digital Close-loop System:

xDevs.com 发表于 2014-3-29 13:53:34

Some require for 10V Source Calibration meters, eg. Agilent 3458, 6581 and so on Advantest.

Yes, i see!
But I have only Keithley 2001's and Keithley 2002, they need 2V and 20V for calibration.
And this LTZ1000 reference is part of bigger project, own ADC/DAC system, so decided to get just direct 1:1 and do conversions on later stage.

And I can't understand why you use the chopper amp?

Also have LT1012 and LTC1097 version as u can see photo above, will try all to see which one have low noise and better stability.

Nice PCB, I thought it was a semiconductor photo at beginning.I think the performance of voltage reference is related to many process.When we make a high accuracy voltage reference, we should consider how to eliminate the thermoelectric effect,how to achieve higher long-term stability, etc.

Thermal design was part of focus on this reference design.
I did some simulations and checks before with Solidworks...

I have some issue to ask

1、the linear originalsch about LTZ1000A use the amp is LT1013 I can't see LT2057

2、if you want to use the acq system to acquisition the temp data remove that MAX6610 lost some currenton it

3、the dac voltage precision ref system must be use high RES and stableDAC and ADC if you don't have them use the AD5791 10V Evaluation board maybe a good idea

I wanted to test different opamps, including chopper 2057.

MAX6610 powered completely separate +5 V input, not connection with REF power.

Still need buy more resistors and LTZ1000 from Linear to continue

And since my first LTZ1000A died from bugs in design, I opened it up and took a photo of die.
