REF102CU/2K5 datasheet by Texas Instruments

REF102CU/2K5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating temperature range for the REF102CU/2K5?
  The recommended operating temperature range for the REF102CU/2K5 is -40°C to 125°C.
• How do I ensure the output voltage of the REF102CU/2K5 remains stable over time?
  To ensure the output voltage remains stable, it's essential to decouple the input pin with a capacitor (e.g., 10uF) and use a low-ESR capacitor (e.g., 10uF) on the output pin. Additionally, keep the device away from high-current or high-voltage lines to minimize noise and interference.
• Can I use the REF102CU/2K5 as a voltage regulator?
  No, the REF102CU/2K5 is a voltage reference, not a voltage regulator. It's designed to provide a stable voltage reference, not to regulate voltage. If you need a voltage regulator, consider using a dedicated voltage regulator IC.
• How do I calculate the output impedance of the REF102CU/2K5?
  The output impedance of the REF102CU/2K5 can be calculated using the equation: Zout = (ΔVout / ΔIout) || Rload, where ΔVout is the change in output voltage, ΔIout is the change in output current, and Rload is the load resistance. Consult the datasheet for specific values.
• Is the REF102CU/2K5 suitable for high-reliability applications?
  Yes, the REF102CU/2K5 is designed for high-reliability applications, such as aerospace, defense, and industrial control systems. It's built with a hermetically sealed ceramic package and has undergone rigorous testing to ensure its reliability.
