FEATURES DESCRIPTIO
■ Guaranteed Temperature Stability The LM136-2.5 is a general purpose shunt regulator diode
■ Maximum 0.6Ω Dynamic Impedance designed to operate over a wide current range while
■ Adjustable for Minimum Temperature Coefficient maintaining good stability with time and temperature. The
■ Wide Operating Current Range third terminal allows either the temperature coefficient to
be minimized or the reference voltage to be adjusted
U without changing the temperature coefficient. Because it
APPLICATIO S operates as a shunt regulator it can be used equally well as
■ Reference for 5V Systems a positive or negative reference.
■ 8-Bit A/D and D/A Reference The LM136-2.5 is available with initial tolerances as low as
■ Digital Voltmeters 1% in either a TO-46 metal can for hermetic requirements
■ Current Loop Measurement and Control Systems or a low cost TO-92 plastic package.
■ Power Supply Monitor
Linear’s advanced design, test and process techniques
have optimized the LM136-2.5 to achieve superior perfor-
mance and reliability over previous designs. For more
demanding precision reference applications requiring very
low initial tolerance and temperature coefficients, consult
the LT1009 data sheet. A typical 2.5V reference with trim
