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
μA to 20 mA current 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.
