SPX4041

Note:

1) Three-point measurement guarantees the error band over the specified temperature range.

2) Optimum performance is obtained at currents below 1000

µA.

3) Limits are 100% production tested at 25

°C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed through correlation using statistical quality

control.

SPX4041 Applications Hints

This device is designed for stable operation and has no need

of an external capacitor between pin 4 and 8. The reference

remains stable if a bypass capacitor is used.

SOT-23

The SPX4041 in the SOT-23 package has a parasitic

Schottky diode between pin 3 and pin 1. Pin 1 of SOT-23

must float or be connected to pin 3.

Conventional Shunt Regulator

In a conventional shunt regulator application (see Figure 1),

reference even when the supply voltage is at its minimum and

the load current is at its maximum value. When the supply

be large enough so that the current flowing through the

SPX4041-x.x is less than 15mA
