LM185-1.2/LM285-1.2/LM385-1.2

Micropower Voltage Reference Diode

General Description

The LM185-1.2/LM285-1.2/LM385-1.2 are micropower 2-ter-

minal band-gap voltage regulator diodes. Operating over a

10μA to 20mA current range, they feature exceptionally low

dynamic impedance and good temperature stability. On-chip

trimming is used to provide tight voltage tolerance. Since the

LM185-1.2 band-gap reference uses only transistors and re-

sistors, low noise and good long term stability result.

Careful design of the LM185-1.2 has made the device excep-

tionally tolerant of capacitive loading, making it easy to use in

almost any reference application. The wide dynamic operat-

ing range allows its use with widely varying supplies with

excellent regulation.

The extremely low power drain of the LM185-1.2 makes it

useful for micropower circuitry. This voltage reference can be

used to make portable meters, regulators or general purpose

analog circuitry with battery life approaching shelf life.

Further, the wide operating current allows it to replace older

references with a tighter tolerance part.

The LM185-1.2 is rated for operation over a −55°C to 125°C

temperature range while the LM285-1.2 is rated −40°C to 85°

C and the LM385-1.2 0°C to 70°C. The LM185-1.2/LM285-1.2

are available in a hermetic TO-46 package and the

LM285-1.2/LM385-1.2 are also available in a low-cost TO-92

molded package, as well as SO and SOT-23. The LM185-1.2

is also available in a hermetic leadless chip carrier package.
