COMPENSATION CAPACITOR, C2 (nF)
Data Sheet

The AD780 can be used without any external components to
achieve specified performance. If power is supplied to Pin 2 and
Pin 4 is grounded, Pin 6 provides a 2.5 V or 3.0 V output
depending on whether Pin 8 is left unconnected or grounded.
A bypass capacitor of 1 µF (+V
IN
to GND) should be used if the
load capacitance in the application is expected to be greater
than 1 nF. The AD780 in 2.5 V mode typically draws 700 µA of
I
q
at 5 V. This increases by ~2 µA/V up to 36 V.

C1 and C2 also improve the settling performance of the AD780
when subjected to load transients. The improvement in noise
performance is shown in Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 9, and

The external null resistor affects the overall temperature
coefficient by a factor equal to the percentage of V
OUT
nulled.
For example, a 1 mV (0.03%) shift in the output caused by the
trim circuit, with a 100 ppm/°C null resistor, adds less than
0.06 ppm/°C to the output drift (0.03% × 200 ppm/°C, since the
resistors internal to the AD780 also have temperature
coefficients of less than 100 ppm/°C).

NOISE PERFORMANCE
The impressive noise performance of the AD780 can be further
improved, if desired, by adding two capacitors: a load capacitor
(C1) between the output and ground, and a compensation
capacitor (C2) between the TEMP pin and ground. Suitable
values are shown in Figure 6.

Initial error can be nulled using a single 25 kΩ potentiometer
connected between V
OUT
, TRIM, and GND. This is a coarse
trim with an adjustment range of 4%, and is only included here
for compatibility purposes with other references. A fine trim
can be implemented by inserting a large value resistor (e.g., 1
MΩ to
5 MΩ) in series with the wiper of the potentiometer (see
