ZXRE250 Datasheet, PDF (1/14 Pages) Diodes Incorporated – VERY LOW CATHODE CURRENT ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATOR

ZXRE250/ZXRE252
VERY LOW CATHODE CURRENT ADJUSTABLE
PRECISION SHUNT REGULATOR
Description
The ZXRE250 and ZXRE252 are three terminal adjustable
shunt regulators offering excellent temperature stability and
output current handling capability up to 100mA. The output
voltage may be set to any chosen voltage between 2.5 and
36 volts by selection of two external divider resistors.
ZXRE250 has the same electrical specifications as the
industry standard ‘431 except that it features a very low
minimum cathode current for regulation. The typical value of
40µA makes the parts ideal for very low power applications.
The devices can be used as a replacement for zener diodes
in many applications requiring an improvement in zener
performance. The ZXRE250/2 is available in 2 grades with
initial tolerances of 1% and 0.5% for the A and B grades
respectively.
