REF3130AIDBZR datasheet by Texas Instruments

REF3130AIDBZR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended output capacitor value for the REF3130?
  The recommended output capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, but it can be adjusted based on the specific application and noise requirements.
• How do I ensure the REF3130 is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines, use a low-ESR output capacitor, and avoid long output traces that can cause oscillations.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the REF3130 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 18V, but it's recommended to operate the device within the specified operating range of 4.5V to 16V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the REF3130 as a voltage regulator?
  No, the REF3130 is a voltage reference, not a voltage regulator. It's designed to provide a stable voltage reference, not to regulate voltage.
• How accurate is the REF3130's output voltage?
  The REF3130 has a typical output voltage accuracy of ±0.5% at 25°C, but this can vary depending on the specific device and operating conditions.
