Temperature-Stabilized Precision Reference 199A 299A 399A GENERAL DESCRIPTION The LM199A/LM299A/LM399A are precision, temperature- stabilized monolithic zeners offering temperature coefficients a factor of ten better than high quality reference zeners. Con- structed on a single monolithic chip is a temperature stabilizer circuit and an active reference zener. The active circuitry re- duces the dynamic impedance of the zener to about 0.522 and allows the zener to operate over 0.5mA to 10mA current range with essentially no change in voltage or temperature coefficient. Further, a new subsurface zener structure gives low noise and excelent long term stability compared to ordinary monolithic zeners. The package is supplied with a thermal! shield to mini- mize heater power and improve temperature regulation. The LM199A series references are exceptionally easy to use and free of the problems that are often experienced with ordinary zeners. There is virtually no hysteresis in reference voltage with temperature cycling. Also, the LM199A is free of voltage shifts due to stress on the leads. Finally, since the unit is temperature stabilized, warm up time is fast. The LM199A can be used in almost any application in place of ordinary zeners with improved performance. Some ideal appli- cations are analog to digital converters, calibration standards, precision voltage or current sources or precision power supplies. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS Further in many cases the LM199A can replace references in existing equipment with a minimum of wiring changes. The LM199A series devices a TO-46 package inside a therma operation from -55C to +125 for operation from -25 gto ee from 0C to +70C. ~ kaged in a standard hermetic jeld.
