Adjustable shunt reference for precision bias and monitoring
The ±1% tolerance on the reference voltage gives tighter output accuracy than the standard ±2% grade, which matters for precision power-supply feedback loops, voltage monitors, and data-converter bias circuits. Rated for 100 mA cathode current and a minimum cathode current of 700 µA, the part can drive optocoupler LEDs or bias a pass transistor in a linear regulator, while the low bias floor suits battery-powered designs that cannot waste milliamps in the reference leg.
Temperature range and package — industrial and automotive ready
The SOT-23-5 (SC-74A) package uses a 0.95 mm pin pitch — a common footprint that fits into compact layouts, though the small body demands a well-controlled solder-paste stencil for void-free reflow.
