APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The REF1112 is a two-terminal bandgap reference diode
designed for high accuracy with outstanding temperature
characteristics at low operating currents. Precision thin-film
resistors result in 0.2% initial voltage accuracy and 50ppm/°C
maximum temperature drift. The REF1112 is specified from
–40°C to +85°C, with operation from –40°C to +125°C, and is
offered in a SOT23-3 package.
Typical connections for the REF1112 are shown in Figure 1.
A minimum 1
μ
A bias current is required to maintain a stable
output voltage and can be provided with a resistor con-
nected to the supply voltage. I
BIAS
depends on the values
selected for R
BIAS
and V
S
, and will vary as a sum of the
minimum operating current and the load current. To main-
tain stable operation, the value of R
BIAS
must be low
enough to maintain the minimum operating current at the
minimum and maximum load and supply voltage levels.

A 0.1
μ
F load capacitor is recommended to maintain stabil-
ity under varying load conditions. A minimum 0.01
μ
F load
capacitor is required for stable operation. Start-up time for
the REF1112 will be affected, depending on the value of
load capacitance and the bias currents being used. A 1
μ
F
power supply bypass capacitor is recommended to mini-
mize supply noise within the circuit.
The REF1112 shunt voltage reference provides a versatile
function for low power and space-conservative applications.
The REF1112 can be configured with an additional diode
and NPN transistor to provide a temperature compensated
current reference as shown in Figure 2. The REF112 can be
scaled to provide extremely low power reference voltages.
