Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not
normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are
exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and
reliability may be affected.

Providing the Reference Current
for ON Semiconductor Monolithic D/A Converters
The MC1403 makes an ideal reference for many monolithic D/A converters, requiring a stable current reference of
nominally 2.0 mA. This can be easily obtained from the
MC1403 with the addition of a series resistor, R1. A variable
resistor, R2, is recommended to provide means for full−
scale adjust on the D/A converter.

*Guaranteed but not tested.
The resistor R3 improves temperature performance by
matching the impedance on both inputs of the D/A reference
amplifier. The capacitor decouples any noise present on the
reference line. It is essential if the D/A converter is located
any appreciable distance from the reference.
A single MC1403 reference can provide the required
current input for up to five of the monolithic D/A converters.
