LM4431
Micropower Shunt Voltage Reference
General Description
Ideal for space critical applications, the LM4431 voltage ref-
erence is available in the sub-miniature (3 mm x 1.3 mm)
SOT-23 surface-mount package. The LM4431鈥檚 advanced
design eliminates the need for an external stabilizing capaci-
tor while ensuring stability with any capacitive load, thus
making the LM4431 easy to use. The operating current
range is 100 碌A(chǔ) to 15 mA.
The LM4431 utilizes fuse and zener-zap reverse breakdown
voltage trim during wafer sort to ensure that the parts have
an accuracy of better than
鹵
2.0% at 25藲C. Bandgap refer-
ence temperature drift curvature correction and low dynamic
impedance ensure stable reverse breakdown voltage accu-
racy over a wide range of operating temperatures and cur-
rents.
