3 Description
These micropower, two-terminal, band-gap
voltage references operate over a 10-μA to 20-mA current range and feature exceptionally low dynamic impedance and good temperature stability. On-chip trimming provides tight
voltage tolerance. The bandgap reference for these devices has low noise and long-term stability.
The design makes these devices exceptionally tolerant of capacitive loading and, thus, easier to use in most reference applications. The wide dynamic operating temperature range accommodates varying current supplies, with excellent regulation.
The extremely low power drain of this series makes them useful for micropower circuitry. These
voltage references can be used to make portable meters, regulators, or general-purpose analog circuitry, wit...
