PRODUCTION DATA.
A band-gap voltage reference controls a high-gain amplifier and shunt pass element to maintain a nearly constant voltage between the cathode and anode of 2.5 V. Regulation occurs after a minimum current is provided to power the voltage divider and amplifier. Internal frequency compensation provides a stable loop for all capacitive loads. Floating shunt design is useful for both positive and negative regulation applications.
