VRE306

The VRE306 is a low cost, high precision 6.0V reference. Packaged in the industry standard 8 pin DIP, the device is ideal for upgrading systems that use lower performance references.

The device VRE306 provides ultrastable +6.000V output with ±0.6000 mV (.01%) initial accuracy and a temperature coefficient of 0.6 ppm/°C. This improvement in accuracy is made possible by a unique, patented multipoint laser compensation technique developed by Thaler Corporation. Significant improvements have been made in other performance parameters as well, including initial accuracy, warm-up drift, line regulation, and long-term stability, making the VRE306 series the most accurate reference available in the standard 8 pin DIP package.

For enhanced performance, the VRE306 has an external trim option for users who want less than 0.01% initial error. For ultra low noise applications, an external capacitor can be attached between the noise reduction pin and the ground pin. A reference ground pin is provided to eliminate socket contact resistance errors.

The VRE306 is recommended for use as a reference for 14, 16, or 18 bit D/A converters which require an external precision reference. The device is also ideal for calibrating scale factor on high resolution A/D converters. The VRE306 offers superior performance over monolithic references.
