DESCRIPTION
The LM236 and LM336 are precision 2.5V regulator
diodes. These voltage reference monolithic ICs op-
erate like 2.5V zener diodes with a low temperature
coefficient and a dynamic impedance of 0.2Ω. A
third pin enables adjusting the reference voltage
and the temperature coefficient.

APPLICATION HINTS
The LM236, LM336 voltage references are easier to
use than zener diodes. Their low impedance and
wide current range facilitate biasing in any circuits.
Besides, the breakdown voltage or the temperature
coefficient can be adjusted so as to optimize the per-
formance of the circuit.
Figure 1 represents a LM336 with a 10kΩ potenti-
ometer to adjust the reverse breakdown voltage can
be adjusted without altering the temperature coeffi-

Breakdown Voltage
cient of the circuit. The adjustment range is gener-
ally sufficient to adjust the initial tolerance of the cir-
cuit and the inaccuracy of the amplifier circuit.
To obtain a lower temperature coefficient two diodes
can be connected in series as indicated in Figure 2.
When the circuit is adjusted to 2.49V the tempera-
ture coefficient is minimized.
For a correct temperature coefficient, the diodes
should be at the same ambient temperature as the
LM336. The value of R1 is not critical (2-20kΩ).
