ZRC250F01TC

Overview

The ZRC250F01TC is a precision micropower voltage reference providing a fixed 2.5V output, manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It utilizes a bandgap circuit design and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device features a low knee current with a minimum operating current of 20 µA and a recommended operating current up to 5 mA. It offers ±1% initial accuracy tolerance and maintains stability without requiring an external stabilizing capacitor.

Feature Summary

• Bandgap circuit design for stable voltage generation
• Capacitor-free operation with capacitive load stability
• Low knee current suitable for battery-powered applications
• Rugged design capable of withstanding transient effects

Applications

• Battery powered and portable equipment
• Instrumentation
• Test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TC' against official manufacturer documentation, as standard listings typically utilize 'TA'. Confirm package dimensions and marking codes match the SOT-23 outline provided in the datasheet. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 specifications and check for any obsolete status regarding E-Line variants before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-saving surface mount packaging is required alongside high precision. The low knee current makes it ideal for low-power designs where quiescent current must be minimized. Verify that the application does not exceed the absolute maximum ratings for reverse or forward currents to ensure reliable operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZRC250 series of precision voltage references from Diodes Incorporated. The series includes variants with different tolerances, such as ±2% and ±3%, but the F01 designation specifically indicates the ±1% tolerance level. The device is designed to replace older through-hole options while maintaining similar electrical performance characteristics.
