MNLM129A-X Datasheet | National Semiconductor

Description The LM129 is a precision multi-current temperature-pensated 6.9V zener reference with dynamic impedances a factor of 10 to 100 less than discrete diodes. Constructed in a single silicon chip, the LM129 uses active circuitry to buffer the internal zener allowing the device to operate over a 0.5 m A to 15 m A range with virtually no change in performance. The LM129 is available with selected temperature coefficients of 0.001, 0.002, 0.005 and 0.01%/ C. These new references also have excellent long term stability and low noise. A new subsurface breakdown zener used in the LM129 gives lower noise and better long-term stability than coventional IC zeners. Further the zener and temperature pensating transistor are made by a planar process so they are immune to problems that plague ordinary zeners. For example, there is virtually no voltage shift in zener voltage due to temperature cycling and the device is insenstive to stress on the leads. The LM129 can be used in place of conventional zeners with improved performance. The low dynamic impedance simplifies biasing and the wide operating current allows the replacement of may zener types. The LM129 is packaged in a 2-lead T0-46 package and is rated for operation over a -55 C to +125 C temperature range.
