JAJSEW1D September 2003 – March 2018 REF1112
PRODUCTION DATA.
Typical connections for the REF1112 are shown in Figure 13. A minimum 1-μA bias current is required to maintain a stable output voltage and can be provided with a resistor connected to the supply voltage. IBIAS depends on the values selected for RBIAS and VS, and will vary as a sum of the minimum operating current and the load current. To maintain stable operation, the value of RBIAS must be low enough to maintain the minimum operating current at the minimum and maximum load and supply voltage levels.
A 0.1-μF load capacitor is recommended to maintain stability under varying load conditions. A minimum 0.01-μF load capacitor is required for stable operation. Start-up time for the REF1112 will be affected, depending on the value of load capacitance and the bias currents being used. A 1-μF power-supply bypass capacitor is recommended to minimize supply noise within the circuit. The REF1112 shunt voltage reference provides a versatile function for low power and space-conservative applications.
