LM185-1.2-N/LM285-1.2-N/LM385-1.2-N Micropower Voltage Reference Diode
Check for Samples: LM185-1.2-N,LM285-1.2-N,LM385-1.2-N
Careful design of the LM185-1.2-N has made the
1FEATURES device exceptionally tolerant of capacitive loading,
2• ±1% and 2% Initial Tolerance making it easy to use in almost any reference
• Operating Current of 10μA to 20mA application. The wide dynamic operating range allows
its use with widely varying supplies with excellent
• 1ΩDynamic Impedance regulation.
• Low Temperature Coefficient The extremely low power drain of the LM185-1.2-N
• Low Voltage Reference—1.235V makes it useful for micropower circuitry. This voltage
• 2.5V Device and Adjustable Device Also reference can be used to make portable meters,
Available regulators or general purpose analog circuitry with
• LM185-2.5 Series and LM185 Series, battery life approaching shelf life.
respectively Further, the wide operating current allows it to
replace older references with a tighter tolerance part.
DESCRIPTION The LM185-1.2-N is rated for operation over a −55°C
The LM185-1.2-N/LM285-1.2-N/LM385-1.2-N are to 125°C temperature range while the LM285-1.2-N is
micropower 2-terminal band-gap voltage regulator rated −40°C to 85°C and the LM385-1.2-N 0°C to
diodes. Operating over a 10μA to 20mA current 70°C. The LM185-1.2-N/LM285-1.2-N are available in
range, they feature exceptionally low dynamic a hermetic TO package and the LM285-1.2-N/LM385-
impedance and good temperature stability. On-chip 1.2-N are also available in a low-cost TO-92 molded
trimming is used to provide tight voltage tolerance. package, as well as SOIC and SOT-23.
Since the LM185-1.2-N band-gap reference uses only
transistors and resistors, low noise and good long
term stability result.
