device exceptionally tolerant of capacitive loading,
making it easy to use in almost any reference
application. The wide dynamic operating range allows
its use with widely varying supplies with excellent
regulation.

The extremely low power drain of the LM185-2.5-N
makes it useful for micropower circuitry. This voltage
reference can be used to make portable meters,
regulators or general purpose analog circuitry with
battery life approaching shelf life. Further, the wide
operating current allows it to replace older references
with a tighter tolerance part. For applications requiring
1.2V see LM185-1.2.

DESCRIPTION
The LM185-2.5-N/LM285-2.5-N/LM385-2.5-N are
micropower 2-terminal band-gap voltage regulator
diodes. Operating over a 20 μA to 20 mA current
range, they feature exceptionally low dynamic
impedance and good temperature stability. On-chip
trimming is used to provide tight voltage tolerance.
Since the LM-185-2.5-N band-gap reference uses
only transistors and resistors, low noise and good
long term stability result.
The LM185-2.5-N is rated for operation over a −55°C
to 125°C temperature range while the LM285-2.5-N is
rated −40°C to 85°C and the LM385-2.5-N 0°C to
70°C. The LM185-2.5-N/LM285-2.5-N are available in
a hermetic TO package and the LM285-2.5-N/LM385-
2.5-N are also available in a low-cost TO-92 molded
package, as well as SOIC and SOT-23. The LM185-
2.5-N is also available in a hermetic leadless chip
carrier package.
