AD780 Analog Devices Data Handbook/Manual
Summary
The AD780 is an ultrahigh precision band gap reference voltage source designed for sophisticated analog power and data conversion systems. Offering selectable 2.5 V or 3.0 V outputs from wide input ranges, it ensures superior stability, ultralow drift (e.g., 3 ppm/°C), and minimal output noise. This manual provides comprehensive technical specifications, operational theory, and application guidelines for designers building high-resolution ADCs and DACs that demand maximum accuracy and low power consumption.
