Precision voltage reference offers better accuracy and temperature stability
( 01 Oct 2003 )
Xicor has announced the development of the first devices in a family of precision voltage references manufactured using its proprietary FGA technology.
The X60008CIS8-50 and X60008DIS8-50 is claimed by the company to "eclipse many of the most accurate voltage references currently available with guarantees of absolute initial accuracy as low as 60.5mV, straight-line temperature coefficients as tight as 5ppm/8C, and long-term stability of 10ppm/1000Hrs while consuming a mere 500nA of supply current."
Says Davin Lee, Xicor's vice president of marketing, "Current voltage references that achieve initial accuracies tighter than 61mV with temperature stability less than 5ppm/8C are expensive as well as limited in availability due to the limitations of current technologies. Xicor's FGA technology achieves performance levels that exceed the best of conventional buried-zener and band-gap technologies by storing the reference voltage as a precisely controlled charge on a floating gate device." Xicor further adds that the X60008 family can "provide the system designer with next-generation precision voltage references that push current performance boundaries and set new benchmark standards for initial accuracy, temperature stability and long-term drift, all at extremely low supply current."
The X60008CIS8-50 and X60008DIS8-50 in 8-lead SOICs are priced at $4.55 and $3.15 respectively (1000).
