Description

The LM385/385B Micropower Voltage References are two terminal bandgap reference diodes designed and optimized for accurate low power operation in portable and other power sensitive systems. Operating currents are guaranteed from as low as 15A up to 20mA for the LM385/385B-1.2, and 20A up to 20mA for the LM385/385B-2.5, giving designers a great deal of flexibility in optimizing power consumption, noise and ultimate application performance. As an added feature, the references output impedance is extraordinarily low over the entire operating range of quiescent currents. This enables an extremely wide dynamic load range with little effect on the overall reference accuracy.


The LM385 family is available in fixed 1.2V and 2.5V reference values.  Process and circuit design optimization provide for high accuracy with initial tolerance values of 1% for the LM385B-1.2, 2% for the LM385-1.2, 1.5% for the LM385B-2.5, and 3% for the LM385-2.5.Complementing their initial accuracy, the bandgap reference is temperature compensated to deliver 20ppm performance over the 0° to 70°C operating temperature range.


The LM385 family from Linfinity is a pin-for-pin replacement for the LM385/385B family of voltage references.
