Key Differentiators

  • Low power consumption (vs AD580SH/883B)
  • Wide operating current range (vs LM385Z-1.2)

Design Notes

The AD589SH/883B is a shunt reference, so it requires an external resistor to set the bias current. Choose the resistor value to ensure the current is within 50µA to 5mA across all operating conditions. For example, with a 5V supply and a desired 1mA bias, use a resistor of (5V - 1.23V) / 1mA = 3.77kΩ. Ensure the resistor can handle the power dissipation.

The AD589SH/883B has a power dissipation of only 60µW at 50µA, so thermal management is not a concern. However, in high-temperature environments, the temperature coefficient of 10ppm/°C can cause voltage drift. For best accuracy, keep the device away from heat sources and consider using a precision resistor for biasing.

For optimal performance, place a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to the reference output to filter high-frequency noise. The two-terminal package requires careful PCB layout to minimize parasitic inductance. Use a ground plane and keep traces short. The metal can package should be soldered with appropriate thermal relief to avoid heat damage.
