My recent columns discussed the physics and applications of discrete-zener-diode references, and the conclusion they reached is that discrete zener diodes make poor references because of tolerance ...

Milpitas, Calif. — Intersil introduced the ISL21400 digitally programmable temperature-coefficient (tempco) voltage reference as part of the pinPOINT family of precision analog products. This product ...

Voltage reference ICs provide an accurate, temperature compensated voltage source for use in a variety of applications from A/D converters to medical devices. Voltage references are available with ...

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 ...

Arm is working on a 65nm low-voltage low-power Cortex-M33 processor called Mono, and it needed a low-power voltage reference to detect when the battery is getting low – Mono is for battery-powered ...

Fig 1. The traditional window comparator with a single op amp has interactions between the output and the reference voltage that creates uncertainty in its hysteresis window width. Fig 2. Adding a ...
