description/ordering information (continued)

The 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 this series makes them useful for micropower circuitry. These voltage

references can be used to 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.
