The noise and stability test results of ADR1001 show significant discrepancies compared to the datasheet specifications

Hello, I have the following two questions to consult with you.Looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much!
Problem 1:
Regarding the noise testing of ADR1001, the noise level above 100 Hz is comparable to the datasheet specifications, but the noise below 100 Hz is significantly higher and exhibits a 1/f-like spectral shape (the test equipment's floor noise is low, so the noise is not introduced by the equipment). The ADR1001 is powered by a 12V mercury-free alkaline battery. How can the increased noise level below 100 Hz be addressed, and how were the noise specifications in the datasheet measured?
Problem 2:
Regarding the stability testing of ADR1001, under the condition where ambient temperature fluctuations are less than 1°C, an 8.5-digit multimeter (sampling at 1 Hz) was used to measure the stability of the 5V output. The recorded fluctuation within one hour was approximately 1 ppm (based on the last hour of a 3-hour test session), which is significantly higher than the 0.2 ppm/°C specified in the datasheet. How are the stability parameters in the datasheet measured?


  • 1. How did you measure the noise? Did you use Eval board? I measured it with 8.5-digit HP at NPLC 5 (100ms averaging) with ADR1001EVAL directly attached to it's input powered by USB and it was pretty close to the datasheet (around 0.8µVp-p which is slightly above the datasheet's 0.13ppm p-p).

    2. The ADR1001 requires burn-in period. In first few days after power up  it drifts up to 5 ppm. Did you account for that?
