REF19x Series
APPLICATIONS
OUTPUT SHORT-CIRCUIT BEHAVIOR
SLEEP MODE OPERATION
The REF19x family of devices is completely protected from
damage due to accidental output shorts to GND or to V+. In the
event of an accidental short-circuit condition, the reference
device shuts down and limits its supply current to 40 mA.
All REF19x devices include a sleep capability that is
TTL/CMOS-level compatible. Internally, a pull-up current
source to VIN is connected at the
pin. This permits the

BASIC VOLTAGE REFERENCE CONNECTIONS
The circuit in Figure 21 illustrates the basic configuration for
the REF19x family of references. Note the 10 μF/0.1 μF bypass
network on the input and the 1 μF/0.1 μF bypass network on
the output. It is recommended that no connections be made to
Pin 1, Pin 5, Pin 7, and Pin 8. If the sleep feature is not required,
Pin 3 should be connected to VIN.

DEVICE POWER DISSIPATION CONSIDERATIONS
REF19x
The REF19x family of references is capable of delivering load
currents to 30 mA with an input voltage that ranges from
3.3 V to 5 V. When these devices are used in applications with
large input voltages, exercise care to avoid exceeding the
maximum internal power dissipation of these devices.
Exceeding the published specifications for maximum power
dissipation or junction temperature can result in premature
device failure. The following formula should be used to

SUPPLY
With output load currents in the tens of mA, the REF19x family
of references can operate as a low dropout power supply in
hand-held instrument applications. In the circuit shown in
Figure 22, a membrane on/off switch is used to control the
operation of the reference. During an initial power-on condition,

When the membrane on switch is pressed, the

momentarily pulled to VIN, enabling the REF19x output. At this
point, current through the 10 kΩ resistor is reduced, and the
For stable operation, low dropout voltage regulators and
references generally require a bypass capacitor connected from
their VOUT pins to their GND pins. Although the REF19x family
of references is capable of stable operation with capacitive loads
exceeding 100 μF, a 1 μF capacitor is sufficient to guarantee
rated performance. The addition of a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor
in parallel with the bypass capacitor improves load current
transient performance. For best line voltage transient
performance, it is recommended that the voltage inputs of these
devices be bypassed with a 10 μF electrolytic capacitor in
parallel with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor.
