AC PERFORMANCE
To successfully apply the AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585
family of references, it is important to understand the effects of
dynamic output impedance and power supply rejection. In
Figure 14a, a voltage divider is formed by the AD1582’s output
impedance and the external source impedance. Figure 14b
shows the effect of varying the load capacitor on the reference
output. Power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) should be deter-
mined when characterizing the ac performance of a series
voltage reference. Figure 15a shows a test circuit used to
measure PSRR, and Figure 15b demonstrates the AD1582’s
ability to attenuate line voltage ripple.

NOISE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCTION
The noise generated by the AD1582 is typically less then
70
μ
V p-p over the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz frequency band. Figure 16
shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise of a typical AD1582. The noise
measurement is made with a high gain bandpass filter. Noise in
a 10 Hz to 10 kHz region is approximately 50
μ
V rms. Figure 17
shows the broadband noise of a typical AD1582. If further noise
reduction is desired, a 1-pole low-pass filter may be added
between the output pin and ground. A time constant of 0.2 ms
will have a –3 dB point at roughly 800 Hz, and will reduce the
high frequency noise to about 16
μ
V rms. It should be noted,
however, that while additional filtering on the output may improve
the noise performance of the AD1582/AD1583/AD1584/AD1585
family, the added output impedance could degrade the ac
performance of the references.
