Adjustable shunt reference — the 2.495 V floor and 36 V ceiling
The ±1% tolerance is the standard precision grade for this family — tight enough for most power-supply feedback loops, comparator thresholds, and low-dropout regulator references, but not the ±0.5% or ±0.1% tiers used in metrology or high-accuracy ADC references. The SOT-23-5 package (SC-74A, SOT-753) is a common footprint for compact designs, and the operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C limits it to commercial or indoor equipment — not automotive or extended industrial environments.
Package and mounting — SOT-23-5, surface-mount only
The SOT-23-5 footprint is standard and widely supported by PCB layout tools; no special thermal management is required at the 100 mA output ceiling, but good copper connection to the cathode pin helps with heat spreading in continuous high-current operation.
