General Description
The MCP1501 is a buffered voltage reference capable
of sinking and sourcing 20 mA of current. The voltage
reference is a low-drift bandgap-based reference. The
bandgap uses chopper-based amplifiers, effectively
reducing the drift to zero.
The MCP1501 is available in the following packages:
• 6-Lead SOT-23
• 8-Lead SOIC
• 8-Lead 2 mm x 2 mm WDFN

Terminology
OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Output voltage is the reference voltage that is available
on the OUT pin.
EQUATION 1-3:
V OUT
-------------------
100% = % Line Regulation
-
V IN
Line regulation may also be expressed as %/V or in
ppm/V, as shown in
Equation 1-4
and
Equation 1-5,
respectively.
1.1.2
INPUT VOLTAGE
The input voltage (V
IN
) is the range of voltage that can
be applied to the V
DD
pin and still have the device
produce the designated output voltage on the OUT pin.

TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
(TC

The output temperature coefficient or voltage drift is a
measure of how much the output voltage will vary from
its initial value with changes in ambient temperature.
The value specified in the electrical specifications is
measured as shown in
Equation 1-1.

design and a 2 µV change in output voltage is mea-

An ideal voltage reference will maintain a constant out-
put voltage regardless of any changes to the input volt-
age. However, when real devices are considered, a
small error may be measured on the output when an
input voltage change occurs.
Line regulation is defined as the change in output volt-
age (
V
OUT
) as a function of a change in input voltage
(
V
IN
), and expressed as a percentage, as shown in
Equation 1-3.
