description/ordering information
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 band-gap reference for these devices has low noise and long-term stability.

description/ordering information (continued)

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, with battery
life approaching shelf life. The wide operating current range allows them to replace older references with
tighter-tolerance parts.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) − TA)/θJA. Operation at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can affect reliability.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.
