Frugal performance from voltage references

Intersil has added new 1.25 and 2.5V devices to its rapidly expanding line of ultra-low-power precision voltage references.

Intersil has added new 1.25 and 2.5V devices to its rapidly expanding line of ultra-low-power precision voltage references.

Intersil reckons its ISL60002 voltage references bring the precision performance standards previously available only in laboratory equipment to portable and battery-operated systems.

The low, sub-1.5uW power consumption of Intersil's ISL60002 (400nA at 2.7V) allows the voltage references to remain powered on continuously by the system battery.

The ISL60002C-12 and -25 and ISL60002D-12 and -25 in 3-lead SOT23 packages are available off the shelf with 1000-unit prices starting at $1.45 and $0.95, respectively.

The ISL60002C-12 and -25 and ISL60002D-12 and -25 in 8-lead SOIC packages are available off the shelf with 1000-unit prices starting at $1.50 and $0.99, respectively.
