GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADR121/ADR125/ADR127 are a family of micropower,
high precision, series mode, band gap references with sink and
source capability. The parts feature high accuracy and low
power consumption in a tiny package. The ADR12x design
includes a patented temperature-drift curvature correction
technique that minimizes the nonlinearities in the output
voltage vs. temperature characteristics.
The ADR12x is a low dropout voltage reference, requiring only
300 mV for the ADR121/ADR125 and 1.45 V for the ADR127
above the nominal output voltage on the input to provide a
stable output voltage. This low dropout performance, coupled
with the low 85 μA operating current, makes the ADR12x ideal
for battery-powered applications.
Available in an extended industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +125°C, the ADR121/ADR125/ADR127 are housed in the
tiny TSOT (UJ-6) package.
