NTE999M
Integrared Circuit
Programmable Precision Reference
Description:
The NTE999M integrated circuit is a three–terminal programmable shunt regulator. This monolithic
IC voltage reference operates as a low temperature coefficient zener which is programmable from
to 36 volts with two external resistors. This device exhibits a wide operating current range of 1.0
V
ref
to 100mA with a typical dynamic impedance of 0.22Ω. The characteristics of this reference make it
an excellent replacement for zener diodes in many applications such as digital voltmeters, power supplies, and op amp circuitry. The 2.5 volt reference makes it convenient to obtain a stable reference
from 5.0 volt logic supplies, and since the NTE999M operates as a shunt regulator, i t can be used as
either a positive or negative voltage reference.
