The document describes the features and characteristics of the REF30xx series precision, low power, low dropout voltage references. The series is available in a tiny SOT23-3 package, making it ideal for portable and battery-powered applications. The series does not require a load capacitor but is stable with any capacitive load. All models are specified for the wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
The document describes the REF30xx series as a precision, low power, and low voltage dropout voltage reference family. These devices are designed for portable and battery-powered applications due to their small size and minimal current consumption of 50uA max.
The datasheet provides comprehensive electrical characteristics for six specific models (REF3012 through REF3040), including output voltage, accuracy, noise, line regulation, temperature drift, and quiescent current. It also includes typical characteristic curves illustrating performance under various conditions such as load transients and temperature variations.
