5.0V Reference Diode

General Description

The LM136-5.0 series is useful as a precision 5.0V low volt-

age reference for digital voltmeters, power supplies or op amp

circuitry. The 5.0V makes it convenient to obtain a stable ref-

either a positive or negative voltage reference.

while the LM236-5.0 is rated over a −25°C to +85°C temper-

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device

beyond its specified operating conditions.

Note 2: For elevated temperature operation, Tj max is:

LM136 150°C

Note 3: Unless otherwise specified, the LM136-5.0 is specified from −55°C≤TA≤+125°C, the LM236-5.0 from −25°C≤TA≤+85°C and the LM336-5.0 from 0°

Note 4: Temperature stability for the LM336 and LM236 family is guaranteed by design. Design limits are guaranteed (but not 100% percent production tested)

over the indicated temperature and supply voltage ranges. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality levels. Stability is defined as the maximum

charge in VREF from 25°C to TA(min) or TA(max).

Application Hints

The LM136-5.0 series voltage references are much easier to

use than ordinary zener diodes. Their low impedance and

wide operating current range simplify biasing in almost any

circuit. Further, either the breakdown voltage or the temper-

ature coefficient can be adjusted to optimize circuit perfor-

adjusting the reverse breakdown voltage. With the addition of

R1 the breakdown voltage can be adjusted without affecting
