Low tracking error, low initial error, and low temperature drift give the AD688 reference absolute ±10 V accuracy performance previously unavailable in monolithic form. The amplifiers are laser-trimmed for low offset and low drift and maintain the accuracy of the reference. The amplifiers are configured to allow Kelvin connections to the load and/or boosters for driving long lines or high current loads, delivering the full accuracy of the AD688 where it is required in the application circuit. The low initial error allows the AD688 to be used as a system reference in precision measurement applications requiring 12-bit absolute accuracy. In such systems, the AD688 can provide a known voltage for system calibration; the cost of periodic recalibration can therefore be eliminated.
