Application Information
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
Reference Biasing
The voltage reference is of a shunt regulator topology that
models as a simple zener diode With current I
the ‘‘forward’’ direction there is the familiar diode transfer
function I
ence voltage to be developed from cathode to anode The
cathode may swing from a diode drop below V
erence voltage or to the avalanche voltage of the parallel
protection diode nominally 7V A 6 3V reference with V
3V is allowed
The reference equivalent circuit reveals how V
the constant 1 2V by feedback and how the FEEDBACK pin
passes little current
To generate the required reverse current typically a resistor
is connected from a supply voltage higher than the refer-
ence voltage Varying that voltage and so varying I
small effect with the equivalent series resistance of less
than an ohm at the higher currents Alternatively an active
current source such as the LM134 series may generate I

tive and capacitive loads a wide range of RC filter values
will perform noise filtering
Adjustable Reference
