Since the cathode of the ADR512 is tied to ground, The ADR512 is suitable for use in applications where a precise the anode must be −1.2 V. negative voltage reference is desired, including the application R1 in Figure 14 should be chosen so that 100 μA to 10 mA is detailed in Figure 13. provided to properly bias the ADR512. Figure 14 shows the ADR512 configured to provide a −1.2 V V output. R DD 1 = (5) I The resistor R1 should be chosen so that power dissipation is at +ADR512 a minimum. An ideal resistor value can be determined through – manipulation of Equation 5. –1.2VR2 014 –VDD 03700- Figure 14. Precise −1.2 V Reference Configuration Since the ADR512 characteristics resemble those of a Zener diode, the cathode shown in Figure 14 will be 1.2 V higher with respect to the anode (V+ with respect to V− on the ADR512 Rev.
