ОБЩЕЕ ОПИСАНИЕ

The REF19x series precision band gap voltage references use a patented temperature drift curvature correction circuit and laser trimming of highly stable, thin-film resistors to achieve a very low temperature coefficient and high initial accuracy.

The REF19x series is made up of micropower, low dropout voltage (LDV) devices, providing stable output voltage from supplies as low as 100 mV above the output voltage and consuming less than 45 μA of supply current. In sleep mode, which is enabled by applying a low TTL or CMOS level to the SLEEP pin, the output is turned off and supply current is further reduced to less than 15 μA.

The REF19x series references are specified over the extended industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) with typical performance specifications over −40°C to +125°C for applications, such as automotive.

All electrical grades are available in an 8-lead SOIC package; the PDIP and TSSOP packages are available only in the lowest electrical grade.

OUTPUT SHORT-CIRCUIT BEHAVIOR

The REF19x family of devices is totally protected from damage due to accidental output shorts to GND or to VS. In the event of an accidental short-circuit condition, the reference device shuts down and limits its supply current to 40 mA.

 

DEVICE POWER DISSIPATION CONSIDERATIONS

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 15 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.

 

OUTPUT VOLTAGE BYPASSING

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.

 

NEGATIVE PRECISION REFERENCE WITHOUT PRECISION RESISTORS

In many current-output CMOS DAC applications where the output signal voltage must be the same polarity as the reference voltage, it is often necessary to reconfigure a current-switching DAC into a voltage-switching DAC using a 1.25 V reference, an op amp, and a pair of resistors. Using a current-switching DAC directly requires an additional operational amplifier at the output to reinvert the signal. A negative voltage reference is then desirable because an additional operational amplifier is not required for either reinversion (current-switching mode) or amplification (voltage-switching mode) of the DAC output voltage. In general, any positive voltage reference can be converted into a negative voltage reference using an operational amplifier and a pair of matched resistors in an inverting configuration. The disadvantage to this approach is that the largest single source of error in the circuit is the relative matching of the resistors used.

In this circuit, the output of the voltage reference provides the input drive for the integrator. To maintain circuit equilibrium, theintegrator adjusts its output to establish the proper relationship between the VOUT and GND references. Thus, any desired negative output voltage can be selected by substituting for the appropriate reference IC. The sleep feature is maintained in the circuit with the simple addition of a PNP transistor and a 10 kΩ resistor.
