description
These micropower two-terminal band-gap voltage references operate over a 20-
μ
A to 20-mA current range and
feature exceptionally low dynamic impedance and good temperature stability. On-chip trimming provides tight
voltage tolerance. The LM185-2.5 series band-gap reference has low noise and long-term stability.
The LM185-2.5 series design makes these devices exceptionally tolerant of capacitive loading and thus easier
to use in most reference applications. The wide dynamic operating temperature range accommodates varying
current supplies with excellent regulation.
The extremely low power drain of the LM185-2.5 series makes them useful for micropower circuitry. These
voltage references can make portable meters, regulators, or general-purpose analog circuitry with battery life
approaching shelf life. The wide operating current range allows them to replace older references with tighter
tolerance parts.
The LM385-2.5 and LM385B-2.5 are characterized for operation from 0
°
C to 70

characterized for operation from –40

military temperature range of –55
°
C to 125

For ordering purposes, the decimal point in the part number must be replaced with a hyphen (i.e., show
the -2.5 suffix as “-2-5”).
The D package is available taped and reeled. Add the suffix R to the device type (e.g., LM385DR-2-5).
