REF3230AIDBVR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended output capacitor value for the REF3230?
  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 REF3230 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 REF3230 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the REF3230 can handle is 18V, but it's recommended to operate it within the specified operating range of 4.5V to 16V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the REF3230 as a voltage regulator?
  No, the REF3230 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 REF3230's output voltage?
  The REF3230 has a typical output voltage accuracy of ±0.05% at 25°C, making it suitable for high-precision applications.
