Frequently Asked Questions

Are these references suitable for battery-powered equipment?

Yes, they are ideal for battery-operated, high-performance, low-voltage systems because they have ultra-low dropout and a supply-independent current.

Do I need to use an external compensation capacitor?

No, the internally compensated devices eliminate the requirement for an external compensation capacitor, saving board space.

What is the typical operating temperature range?

The standard operating temperature range listed is -40°C to +85°C.

How do these references perform compared to conventional shunt-mode types?

They draw a supply current that is virtually independent of the supply voltage and avoid wasting supply current.
