The recommended input voltage range for the LM385PWR-1-2 is 4.5V to 40V. Operating the device outside of this range may affect its performance and accuracy.
To ensure the output voltage of the LM385PWR-1-2 remains stable over temperature, it is recommended to use a bypass capacitor (e.g., 10uF) between the input pin and ground, and to keep the device away from high-temperature sources.
No, the LM385PWR-1-2 is a voltage reference, not a voltage regulator. It is designed to provide a stable voltage reference, but it does not have the capability to regulate voltage like a voltage regulator IC.
The typical output current capability of the LM385PWR-1-2 is 10mA. Exceeding this current may affect the device's accuracy and stability.
To minimize noise and ripple on the output of the LM385PWR-1-2, use a low-pass filter (e.g., an RC filter) between the output pin and ground, and ensure good power supply decoupling.
