DESCRIPTION

The LM136-5.0/LM236-5.0/LM336-5.0 integrated

circuits are precision 5.0V shunt regulator diodes.

These monolithic IC voltage references operate as a

low temperature coefficient 5.0V zener with 0.6Ω

dynamic impedance. A third terminal on the LM136-

5.0 allows the reference voltage and temperature coefficient to be trimmed easily.

The LM136-5.0 series is useful as a precision 5.0V

low voltage reference for digital voltmeters, power

supplies or op amp circuitry. The 5.0V makes it

convenient to obtain a stable reference from low

voltage supplies. Further, since the LM136-5.0

operates as a shunt regulator, it can be used as

either a positive or negative voltage reference.

The LM136-5.0 is rated for operation over −55°C to

+125°C while the LM236-5.0 is rated over a −25°C to

+85°C temperature range. The LM336-5.0 is rated for

operation over a 0°C to +70°C temperature range.

See the Connection Diagrams for available packages.
