REF5010IDGKR datasheet by Texas Instruments

REF5010IDGKR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended output capacitor value for the REF5010?
  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 REF5010 is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, make sure to decouple the input voltage with a 10uF capacitor, use a low-ESR output capacitor, and keep the output capacitor value within the recommended range.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the REF5010 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the REF5010 can handle is 12.6V, but it's recommended to operate it within the specified operating range of 4.5V to 12V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the REF5010 in a high-temperature environment?
  The REF5010 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its accuracy and stability may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the device's performance at high temperatures.
• How do I layout the PCB to minimize noise and ensure accurate voltage reference?
  To minimize noise, keep the REF5010 away from high-current paths, use a solid ground plane, and keep the input and output traces short and separate. Also, use a low-noise input voltage and decouple it properly.
