Shunt reference with ±0.5% initial tolerance
Its internal reference is trimmed to 2.495 V, and the output voltage can be set to any value up to 36 V using two external resistors. The B-grade tolerance of ±0.5% is tighter than the standard ±1% or ±2% grades, making this variant the choice for precision supply rails or ADC reference circuits where the initial setpoint accuracy matters.
100 mA cathode current and 700 µA minimum bias
The device can sink up to 100 mA at the cathode, which is enough to drive the optocoupler LED in a feedback loop or to shunt excess current in a linear regulator post-regulator stage.
Industrial temperature range in a SOT-23-3 package
The SOT-23-3 package (also known as TO-236-3 or SC-59) is a small surface-mount footprint that fits into compact designs without consuming much board area.
