Some confusion exists in the area of defining and specifying reference voltage error over temperature. Historically, references have been characterized using a maximum deviation per degree VOUT7.0VCL Celsius, such as ppm/°C. However, because of nonlinearities in 1000pF1kΩ temperature characteristics that originated in standard Zener references (such as S-type characteristics), most manufacturers V10VLAD5870V have begun to use a maximum limit error-band approach to -013 specify devices. This technique involves the measurement of the 530 00 output at three or more temperatures to specify an output Figure 13.

Output Response with Capacitive Load LOAD REGULATION The AD587 has excellent load regulation characteristics. Figure 15 shows that varying the load several milliamperes changes the output by only a few microvolts. Rev.
