NCP100

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. This device series contains ESD protection and exceeds the following tests: Human Body Model 4000 V per JESD−22, Method A114B. Machine Model Method 400 V.
2. The maximum package power dissipation limit must not be exceeded.

The NCP100 is a precision low voltage shunt regulator that is programmable over a voltage range of 0.9 V to 6.0 V. This device features a guaranteed reference accuracy of ±1.7% at 25°C and ±2.6% over the entire temperature range of −40°C to 85°C. The NCP100 exhibits a sharp low current turn−on characteristic with a low dynamic impedance of 0.20over an operating current range of 100A to 20 mA. These characteristics make this device an ideal replacement for zener diodes in numerous application circuits that require a precise low voltage reference. When combined with an optocoupler, the NCP100 can be used as an error amplifier for controlling the feedback loop in isolated low output voltage (2.3 V) switching power supplies. This device is available in an economical space saving TSOP−5 package.
