INSTALLATION AND

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC CIRCUIT CONNECTION

Figure 2 shows the proper connection of the REF102. To

achieve the specified performance, pay careful attention to

layout. A low resistance star configuration will reduce voltage

errors, noise pickup, and noise coupled from the power

supply. Commons should be connected as indicated, being

sure to minimize interconnection resistances.

OPTIONAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

Optional output voltage adjustment circuits are shown in

Figures 3 and 4. Trimming the output voltage will change the

voltage drift by approximately 0.008ppm/

°C per mV of trimmed

voltage. In the circuit in Figure 3, any mismatch in TCR

between the two sections of the potentiometer will also affect

drift, but the effect of the

∆TCR is reduced by a factor of five

by the internal resistor divider. A high quality potentiometer,

with good mechanical stability, such as a cermet, should be

series with these leads will cause a 1mV error when the load

current is at its maximum of 10mA. This results in a 0.01%

error of 10V.
