PRECISION 4.0 VOLT MICROPOWER
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
ISSUE 2 - MARCH 1998
ZRA400
FEATURES
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ZRA400 uses a bandgap circuit design
to achieve a precision micropower voltage
reference of 4.096 volts. The device is
available in small outline surface mount
packages, ideal for applications where space
saving is important.
The ZRA400 design provides a stable voltage
without an external capacitor and is stable
with capacitive loads. The ZRA400 is
recommended for operation between 50µA
and 5mA and so is ideally suited to low
power and battery powered applications.
Excellent performance is maintained to an
absolute maximum of 25mA, however the
rugged design and 20 volt processing allows
the reference to withstand transient effects
and currents up to 200mA. Superior
switching capability allows the device to
reach stable operating conditions in only a
few microseconds.
