Product details

Fixed 1.235 V shunt reference in an 8-SOIC

As a shunt reference, it behaves like a two-terminal Zener — the 20 mA output current capability and 15 µA minimum cathode current define the bias resistor selection for the application.

20 ppm/°C drift and 60 µVrms noise

The temperature coefficient is 20 ppm/°C typical, and noise from 10 Hz to 10 kHz is 60 µVrms — both figures are adequate for 8- to 10-bit ADC references in moderate environments.

Obsolete — sourced through independent channels

Frequently asked questions

Can LM385PSRE4-1-2 be used in a 3.3V system?

Yes, a shunt reference like the LM385PSRE4-1-2 can be used in a 3.3 V system. The bias resistor must be chosen to supply the cathode current (minimum 15 µA) plus the load current while keeping the total below the 20 mA output rating.

What is the replacement for LM385PSRE4-1-2?

No official replacement or successor part is listed by Texas Instruments for the LM385PSRE4-1-2. For a pin-compatible alternative, consider the LM385-1.2 series in the same 8-SOIC package — confirm the tolerance and temperature range match your BOM requirements.
