Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP1525/41 devices
are 2.5V and 4.096V precision voltage references that
use a combination of an advanced CMOS circuit
design and EPROM trimming to provide an initial
tolerance of ±1% (max.) and temperature stability of
±50 ppm/°C (max.). In addition to a low quiescent
current of 100 µA (max.) at 25°C, these devices offer a
clear advantage over the traditional Zener techniques
in terms of stability across time and temperature. The
output voltage is 2.5V for the MCP1525 and 4.096V for
the MCP1541. These devices are offered in SOT-23-3
and TO-92 packages, and are specified over the
industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Output temperature coefficient is measured using a “box” method, where the +25°C output voltage is trimmed as close
to typical as possible. The 85°C output voltage is then again trimmed to zero out the tempco.
Output Voltage Hysteresis is defined as the change in output voltage measured at +25°C before and after cycling the
temperature to +85°C and -40°C; refer to
Section 1.1.10 “Output Voltage Hysteresis”.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE
1.1.3
OUTPUT VOLTAGE DRIFT (TCV
OUT
)
Output voltage is the reference voltage that is available
on the output pin (V
OUT
).
The output temperature coefficient or voltage drift is a
measure of how much the output voltage (V
OUT
) will
vary from its initial value with changes in ambient
temperature. The value specified in the electrical
specifications is measured and equal to:

DROPOUT VOLTAGE
1.1.9
LONG-TERM OUTPUT STABILITY
The dropout voltage of these devices is measured by
reducing V
IN
to the point where the output drops by 1%.
Under these conditions the dropout voltage is equal to:
The long-term output stability is measured by exposing
the devices to an ambient temperature of 125°C
(Figure 2-9) while configured in the circuit shown in
Figure 1-1. In this test, all electrical specifications of the
devices are measured periodically at +25°C.

The dropout voltage is affected
temperature and load current.
In Figure 2-18, the dropout voltage is shown over a
negative and positive range of output current. For
currents above zero milliamps, the dropout voltage is
positive. In this case, the voltage reference is primarily
powered by V
IN
. With output currents below zero
milliamps, the dropout voltage is negative. As the
output current becomes more negative, the input
current (I
IN
) reduces. Under this condition, the output
current begins to provide the needed power to the
voltage reference.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE HYSTERESIS
1.1.5
LINE REGULATION
Line regulation is a measure of the change in output
voltage (V
OUT
) as a function of a change in the input
voltage (V
IN
). This is expressed as
V
OUT
/V
IN
and is
measured in either µV/V or ppm. For example, a 1 µV
change in V
OUT
caused by a 500 mV change in V
IN
would net a
V
OUT
/V
IN
of 2 µV/V, or 2 ppm.
The output voltage hysteresis is a measure of the
output voltage error once the powered devices are
cycled over the entire operating temperature range.
The amount of hysteresis can be quantified by
measuring the change in the +25°C output voltage after
temperature excursions from +25°C to +85°C to +25°C
and also from +25°C to -40°C to +25°C.
1.1.6
LOAD REGULATION (V
OUT
/I
OUT
)
Load regulation is a measure of the change in the
output voltage (V
OUT
) as a function of the change in
output current (I
OUT
). Load regulation is usually
measured in mV/mA.
1.1.7
INPUT CURRENT
The input current (operating current) is the current that
sinks from V
IN
to V
SS
without a load current on the out-
put pin. This current is affected by temperature and the
output current.
1.1.8
INPUT VOLTAGE REJECTION
RATIO
The Input Voltage Rejection Ratio (IVRR) is a measure
of the change in output voltage versus the change in
input voltage over frequency, as shown in Figure 2-7.
The calculation used for this plot is:
