LM313  Product Folder

The LM113/LM313 are temperature compensated, low voltage reference diodes. They feature extremely-tight regulation over a wide range of operating currents in addition to an unusually-low breakdown voltage and good temperature stability.

The diodes are synthesized using transistors and resistors in a monolithic integrated circuit. As such, they have the same low noise and long term stability as modern IC op amps. Further, output voltage of the reference depends only on highly-predictable properties of components in the IC; so they can be manufactured and supplied to tight tolerances.

• Low breakdown voltage: 1.220V
• Dynamic impedance of 0.3 Ohm from 500 µA to 20 mA
• Temperature stability typically 1% over-55°C to 125°C range (LM113), 0°C to 70°C (LM313)
• Tight tolerance: ±5%, ±2% or ±1%

The characteristics of this reference recommend it for use in bias-regulation circuitry, in low-voltage power supplies or in battery powered equipment. The fact that the breakdown voltage is equal to a physical property of silicon-the energy-band gap voltage-makes it useful for many temperature-compensation and temperature-measurement functions.
