load capacitances above .001µF the noise reduction

network shown in fig. 3 is recommended. This network

reduces noise sig-nificantly over the full bandwidth. As

shown in fig. 2, noise is reduced to less than 40µVp-p

from 1Hz to 1MHz using this network with a .01µF

capacitor and a 2k

Ω resistor in series with a 10µF

capacitor.

Turn-On Time

The X60008 devices have ultra-low supply current and

thus the time to bias up internal circuitry to final values

will be longer than with higher power references. Nor-

mal turn-on time is typically 7ms. This is shown in the

graph, Figure 4. Since devices can vary in supply cur-

rent down to 300nA, turn-on time can last up to about

12ms. Care should be taken in system design to

include this delay before measurements or conver-

sions are started.

Temperature Coefficient

The limits stated for temperature coefficient (tempco)

are governed by the method of measurement. The

overwhelming standard for specifying the temperature

drift of a reference is to measure the reference voltage

the nominal reference voltage (at T = 25°C) and multi-
