LOW OVERHEAD VOLTAGE REFERENCE

Figure 7 shows a voltage reference that requires only 0.1 V of

overhead voltage. As shown, the reference provides a stable

4.5 V output with a 4.6 V to 36 V supply. Output voltage drift is

only 12 ppm/

°C. Line regulation of the reference is under 5 HV/V

with load regulation better than 10

µV/mA with up to 50 mA of

output current.

The REF-43 provides a stable 2.5 V which is multiplied by the

OP290. The PNP output transistor enables the output voltage

to approach the supply voltage.

Resistors R1 and R2 determine the output voltage.

.

The 200

Ω variable resistor is used to trim the output voltage.

For the lowest temperature drift, parallel resistors can be used in

place of the variable resistor and taken out of the circuit as required

to adjust the output voltage.
