AEC-Q100 grade-1 shunt reference for underhood voltage regulation
It provides a 2.495V minimum output, adjustable up to 36V, with a ±0.5% tolerance—tighter than the standard 1% grade. The SOT-23-3 package suits compact ECU layouts where board space is at a premium.
The ±0.5% tolerance on the internal reference translates to a tighter output voltage window in a switching regulator or linear regulator feedback divider. For a 3.3V rail, that's roughly ±16.5 mV total error from the reference alone, versus ±33 mV for a 1% part. The 15 mA output current capability and 600 µA minimum cathode current give headroom for driving the optocoupler LED in isolated supplies without starving the reference.
