GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADR1581
is a low cost, 2-terminal (shunt), precision band
gap reference. It provides an accurate 1.250 V output for input
currents between 60 μA and 10 mA.
The superior accuracy and stability of the ADR1581 is made
possible by the precise matching and thermal tracking of on-
chip components. Proprietary curvature correction design
techniques have been used to minimize the nonlinearities in
the voltage output temperature characteristics. The ADR1581
is stable with any value of capacitive load.
The low minimum operating current makes the ADR1581 ideal
for use in battery-powered 3 V or 5 V systems. However, the wide
operating current range means that the ADR1581 is extremely
versatile and suitable for use in a wide variety of high current
applications.
The ADR1581 is available in two grades, A and B, both of which
are provided in the SOT-23 package. Both grades are specified
over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
