The AD15801 is a low cost, 2-terminal (shunt), precision band gap reference. It provides an accurate 1.225 V output for input currents between 50 μA and 10 mA.
The superior accuracy and stability of the AD1580 is made possible by the precise matching and thermal tracking of on-chip components. Proprietary curvature correction design techniques have been used to minimize the nonli-nearities in the voltage output temperature characteristics. The AD1580 is stable with any value of capacitive load.
The low minimum operating current makes the AD1580 ideal for use in battery-powered 3 V or 5 V systems. However, the wide operating current range means that the AD1580 is extremely versatile and suitable for use in a wide variety of high current applications.
