LM199/LM299/LM399/LM3999 Precision Reference General Description The LM199 series are precision, temperature-stabilized monolithic zeners offering temperature coefficients a factor of ten better than high quality reference zeners. Constructed on a single monolithic chip is a temperature stabilizer circuit and an active reference zener. The active circuitry reduces the dynamic impedance of the zener to about 0.5 and allows the zener to operate over 0.5 mA to 10 mA current range with essentially no change in voltage or temperature coefficient. Further, a new subsurface zener structure gives low noise and excellent long term stability compared to ordinary monolithic zeners. The package is supplied with a thermal shield to minimize heater power and improve temperature regulation. The LM199 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 LM199 is free of voltage shifts due to stress on the leads. Finally, since the unit is temperature stabilized, warm up time is fast. The LM199 can be used in almost any application in place of ordinary zeners with improved performance. Some ideal applications are analog to digital converters, calibration standards, precision voltage or current sources or precision power supplies. Further in many cases the LM199 can replace references in existing equipment with a minimum of wiring changes. The LM199 series devices are packaged in a standard hermetic TO-46 package inside a thermal shield. The LM199 is rated for operation from -55C to +125C while the LM299 is rated for operation from -25C to +85C and the LM399 is rated from 0C to +70C. The LM3999 is packaged in a standard TO-92 package and is rated from 0C to +70C Features Guaranteed 0.0001%/C temperature coefficient Low dynamic impedance -- 0.5 Initial tolerance on breakdown voltage -- 2% Sharp breakdown at 400 A Wide operating current -- 500 A to 10 mA Wide supply range for temperature stabilizer Guaranteed low noise Low power for stabilization -- 300 mW at 25C Long term stability -- 20 ppm Proven reliability, low-stress packaging in TO-46 integrated-circuit hermetic package, for low hysteresis after thermal cycling. 33 million hours MTBF at TA = +25C (TJ = +86C) n Certified long term stability available n MIL-STD-883 compliant n n n n n n n n n n Connection Diagrams Metal Can Package (TO-46) Plastic Package TO-92 DS005717-10 DS005717-14 Top View LM199/LM299/LM399 (See Table on fourth page) NS Package Number H04D (c) 1999 National Semiconductor Corporation DS005717 Bottom View LM3999 (See Table on fourth page) NS Package Number Z03A www.national.com LM199/LM299/LM399/LM3999 Precision Reference May 1999 Functional Block Diagrams LM199/LM299/LM399 LM3999 DS005717-11 DS005717-15 www.national.com 2 Absolute Maximum Ratings (Note 1) Reference to Substrate Voltage V(RS) (Note 2) Specifications for Military/Aerospace products are not contained in this datasheet.

Indeed, this comparison process has recently been automated using a specially prepared computer program which is custom-designed to reject noisy data (and require a repeat reading) and to record the average of the best 5 of 7 readings, just as a sagacious standards engineer will reject unbelievable readings. Certified Long Term Drift The National Semiconductor LM199AH-20, LM299AH-20, and LM399AH-50 are ultra-stable Zener references specially selected from the production runs of LM199AH, LM299AH, LM399AH and tested to confirm a long-term stability of 20, 20, or 50 ppm per 1000 hours, respectively. The devices are measured every 168 hours and the voltage of each device is logged and compared in such a way as to show the deviation from its initial value. Each measurement is taken with a probable-worst-case deviation of 2 ppm, compared to the Reference Voltage, which is derived from several groups of NBS-traceable references such as LM199AH-20's, 1N827's, www.national.com The typical characteristic for the LM199AH-20 is shown below.
