Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the AD680 device?
It is a band gap voltage reference that provides a fixed 2.5 V output from input voltages ranging between 4.5 V and 36 V.
Can the unit be converted into a temperature sensor (transducer)?
Yes, an available temperature output pin on the 8-lead package allows configuration as a linear temperature transducer.
Which grades are rated for the widest temperature range?
The AD680AN and AD680AR versions are specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C.
Are there any pins I should avoid connecting during use?
You should not make connections to the *TP factory test points, as these pins are intended only for internal testing.
