Description
The FAN4041 adjustable precision shunt references are ideal
for space- and cost-sensitive applications. They are available
with output voltage tolerances of 0.5% and 1%. They also
have excellent temperature coefficients, to 100ppm/°C for
the tighter tolerance grades. The FAN4041 series has an
extended operating current range, sinking as much as 25mA.
The FAN4041 series is available in SOT-23 and TO-92
packages.

FAN4041
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Applications Information
The FAN4041 is a precision micro-power curvature-
corrected bandgap shunt voltage reference. For space critical
applications, the FAN4041 is available in the sub-miniature
SOT-23 package. The FAN4041 has been designed for stable
operation without the need of an external capacitor
connected between the
“+”
pin and the
“–”
pin. If, however,
a bypass capacitor is used, the FAN4041 remains stable.
The minimum operating current is 65µA for the FAN4041.
In a conventional shunt regulator application (Figure 1), an
external series resistor (R
S
) is connected between the supply
voltage and the FAN4041. R
S
determines the current that
flows through the load (I
L
) and the FAN4041 (I
Q
). Since
load current and supply voltage may vary, R
S
should be
small enough to supply at least the minimum acceptable I
Q
to the FAN4041 even when the supply voltage is at its
minimum and the load current is at its maximum value.
When the supply voltage is at its maximum and I
L
is at its
minimum, R
S
should be large enough so that the current
flowing through the FAN4041 is less than 25 mA.
R
S
should be selected based on the supply voltage, (V
S
), the
desired load and operating current, (I
L
and I
Q
), and the
FAN4041’s reverse breakdown voltage, V
R
.

∆V
REF
/∆V
O
is found in the Electrical Characteristics and
is -2.5mV/V for the C-grade. You can get a more accurate
indication of the output voltage by replacing the value of
V
REF
in equation (1) with the value found using equation (2).
Note that the actual output voltage can deviate from that pre-
dicted using the typical value of
∆V
REF
/∆V

in equation (2):
for C-grade parts, the worst-case

The FAN4041 output voltage can be adjusted to any value in
the range of 1.220V through 10V. It is a function of the inter-
nal reference voltage (V
REF
) and the ratio of the external
feedback resistors as shown in Figure 2. The output voltage
is found using the equation
