MILPITAS, Calif. – Jan. 23, 2012 – Touchstone Semiconductor, a developer of high-performance analog integrated circuit solutions,today announced the newest member of its voltage reference family, the TS6001A, a low-power, low-dropout precision SOT-23 voltage reference IC that reduces drift to a guaranteed 7ppm/°C maximum, a 2X improvement over its closest competitor, the MAX6025A.
The unique combination of a small form factor, few external components and low supply current make the TS6001A an ideal choice for low-voltage, supply-independent, power-sensitive applications, including handheld and battery-operated equipment.
The TS6001A is capable of sinking and sourcing load currents up to 500μA. The TS6001A consumes only 27μA of supply current at no-load. It also offers an initial accuracy initial output voltage accuracy of less than 0.08%.
Key Specifications
- Initial VOUT Accuracy: 0.08% (max)
- VOUT Temperature Coefficient: 7ppm/°C (max) – TS6001A – 5ppm/°C °C (max) TS6001B
