PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE SOURCE

Fig.1 Pin connections (bottom view)
The ZN423 is a monolithic integrated circuit using the
energy bandgap voltage of a base-emitter junction to produce
a precise, stable, reference source of 1.26V. This is derived
via an external dropping resistor for supply voltages of 1.5V
upwards. The temperature coefficient of the ZN423, unlike
conventional Zener diodes, remains constant with reference
current. the noise figure associated with breakdown
mechanisms is also considerably reduced.
