The REF29xx is a precision, low-power, low-voltage dropout
voltage reference family available in a tiny SOT23-3.
The REF29xx small size and low power consumption (50µA
max) make it ideal for portable and battery-powered applications. The REF29xx does not require a load capacitor, but is
stable with any capacitive load.
Unloaded, the REF29xx can be operated with supplies within
1mV of output voltage. All models are specified for the wide
temperature range, –40°C to +125°C.

NOTES: (1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade
device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the
device at these, or any other conditions beyond those specified, is not implied.
(2) Short-circuit to ground.
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its
published specifications.
