Low Noise, High-Precision Voltage References

What is a voltage reference IC? A voltage reference IC is an accurate, temperature-compensated voltage source that provides specific output voltage values. Our series and shunt voltage references support a wide range of voltages, from 1.024V to 15V for both low-cost and high-precision voltage reference applications. These voltage references work well in a wide variety of applications such as data acquisition, medical equipment, battery management systems, consumer electronics, portable instrumentation and automotive systems and as companions to sensors and data converters. Our cost-efficient and high-reliability voltage reference ICs come with high accuracy and mid-range, low temperature coefficients and reliability that improve the performance of your application.
