My recent columns discussed the physics and applications of discrete-zener-diode references, and the conclusion they reached is that discrete zener diodes make poor references because of tolerance ...

Some of my recent columns discuss the functions and advantages of zener-diode references (references 1, 2, and 3). Although zener diodes are stable and precise voltage references, they require high ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, ...

Interesting parts make for interesting projects, and this nifty precision voltage reference has some pretty cool parts, not to mention an interesting test jig. The heart of [Gaurav Singh]’s voltage ...

Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

Voltage reference ICs provide an accurate, temperature compensated voltage source for use in a variety of applications from A/D converters to medical devices. Voltage references are available with ...

Because most of today's digital logic, mixed-signal, and analog circuits include a voltage reference, designers must understand how references operate and how to choose from among the available types.

Arm is working on a 65nm low-voltage low-power Cortex-M33 processor called Mono, and it needed a low-power voltage reference to detect when the battery is getting low – Mono is for battery-powered ...
