Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...

Voltage-reference stability and noise frequently define the measurement limits of instrumentation systems. In particular, reference noise often sets stable resolution limits. Reference voltages have ...

A precision voltage reference is useful in the lab for checking your multimeters. This post describes the construction of a poor man’s precision voltage reference. It is great for checking any ...

VOLTAGE REFERENCES generate wideband noise spectrums. For most semiconductor devices, this spectrum usually has a wideband “white noise” component with relatively constant power density versus ...

Interesting parts make for interesting projects, and this nifty precision voltage reference has some pretty cool parts, not to mention an interesting test jig. The heart of [Gaurav Singh]’s voltage ...

As children, we all probably had our ideal career paths. As an adult do you still harbor a secret desire to be an astronaut, or to drive a railroad train? Or have holders of other jobs become the ...

TI has introduced a voltage reference that typically runs from 680nA and yet has a max initial error of ±0.05% and a max temperature coefficient of 10ppm/°C across ...

TI has remained remarkably quiet about its latest precision voltage reference IC: REF81. It is a modified form of the equally quietly released REF80, which is a temperature-controlled buried Zener ...
