Reference plus Comparator or Amplifier

Analog Devices reference plus comparator or amplifier products combine the excellent initial accuracy and low overtemperature drift performance of single function voltage references with comparators, buffer amplifiers, and current sense amplifiers. These products offer compact solutions for a broad range of applications such as battery monitoring, threshold detectors, window comparators, auto power-off circuits, and low dropout (LDO) regulators.

Series Voltage References

Analog Devices offers a broad line of series voltage references with low dropout, low power, and excellent line regulation. These devices are voltage references that are functionally similar to a three-terminal regulator. Some series voltage references are designed to also operate in shunt mode by biasing the output pin and leaving the input pin open circuit. Series mode voltage references have the advantage that they draw only load and quiescent current from the input supply.

Shunt Voltage References

Analog Devices offers a broad line of shunt precision voltage references that combine excellent accuracy and temperature stability with low noise and small packages. These devices operate in a manner that is functionally equivalent to a Zener diode. The bias current must be set higher than the sum of the maximum quiescent current of the voltage reference and the maximum expected load current. Since shunt voltage references are typically biased with a resistor, the voltage reference can operate on a wide range of input voltages.
