LM185-2.5/LM285-2.5/LM385-2.5
Micropower Voltage Reference Diode

General Description

The LM185-2.5/LM285-2.5/LM385-2.5 are micropower
2-terminal band-gap voltage regulator diodes. Operating
over a 20 µAto20mAcurrent range, they feature exception­ally low dynamic impedance and good temperature stability.
On-chip trimming is used to provide tight voltage tolerance.
Since the LM-185-2.5 band-gap reference uses only transis­tors and resistors, low noise and good long term stability re­sult.

Careful design of the LM185-2.5 has made the device ex­ceptionally tolerant of capacitive loading, making it easy to
use in almost any reference application. The wide dynamic
operating range allows its use with widely varying supplies
with excellent regulation.

The extremely low power drain of the LM185-2.5 makes it
useful for micropower circuitry.This voltage reference can be
used to make portable meters, regulators or general purpose
analog circuitry with battery life approaching shelf life. Fur­ther, the wide operating current allows it to replace older ref­erences with a tighter tolerance part. For applications requir­ing 1.2V see LM185-1.2.

The LM185-2.5 is rated for operation over a −55˚C to 125˚C
temperature range while the LM285-2.5 is rated −40˚C to
85˚C and the LM385-2.5 0˚C to 70˚C. The LM185-2.5/
LM285-2.5 are available in a hermetic TO-46 package and
the LM285-2.5/LM385-2.5 are also available in a low-cost
TO-92 molded package, as well as S.O. and SOT-23. The
LM185-2.5 is also available in a hermetic leadless chip car­rier package.
