CAT8900 Devices Offer Accuracy as High as 0.02 Percent with Low, 800
nA Maximum Supply Current for Precision Performance in Test Equipment
and Portable Systems
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN),
a leading global supplier of high-performance, energy-efficient, silicon
solutions has moved to a new level of cost-effective, precision analog
with its new CAT8900
family of high-accuracy voltage reference integrated circuits (ICs).
The CAT8900 family combines very high initial accuracy, low supply
current consumption and a stable temperature coefficient, to enable
precision performance in test equipment and portable, battery-powered
data acquisition systems.
The CAT8900 ICs provide a highly accurate voltage reference, with
initial accuracy as high as 0.02 percent [± 0.5 millivolts (mV)] and a
stable, 20 parts per million per degrees Celsius (ppm/ºC) temperature
coefficient, while maintaining a low maximum supply current consumption
of 800 nanoamperes (nA). The low current consumption allows the CAT8900
voltage references to remain powered on continuously, with minimal
battery load. The low power consumption, combined with the very high
initial accuracy and temperature stability of the devices, makes them
ideal replacements for power-hungry, higher cost bandgap references in a
wide range of portable applications. These include handheld medical
devices, high resolution A/D (analog-to-digital) and D/A
(digital-to-analog) converters, and precision regulator systems.
The CAT8900 family offers nine voltage reference choices: 1.024 volts
(V), 1.200 V, 1.250 V, 1.800 V, 2.048 V, 2.500 V, 2.600 V, 3.000 V and
3.300 V. Custom voltages are available on request. Each reference is
available in four accuracy grades: ±0.5 mV, ±1.0 mV, ±2.5 mV and ±5.0
mV. The devices source or sink up to 10 milliamps (mA) of load current
with as little as 50 mV of dropout. In most applications they do not
require an output bypass capacitor.
Packaging and Pricing
The CAT8900 precision voltage references come in a Pb-free,
RoHS-compliant, 3-lead SOT-23 package. The per unit prices for
quantities of 10,000 are: $0.60 USD for ±5.0 mV initial accuracy
versions; $0.92 USD for ±2.5 mV initial accuracy versions; $1.55 USD for
±1.0 mV initial accuracy versions; and $2.44 USD for ±0.5 mV initial
accuracy versions. Samples are available now. Projected lead-time for
production quantities is currently eight to 12 weeks after receipt of
order (ARO).
