REF1004C-2.5 datasheet by Texas Instruments

REF1004C-2.5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended output capacitor value for the REF1004C-2.5?
  The recommended output capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, but it can be adjusted based on the specific application and noise requirements.
• How do I ensure the REF1004C-2.5 is stable and oscillation-free?
  To ensure stability, use a low-ESR output capacitor, keep the output capacitor close to the device, and avoid using long traces or wires that can cause oscillations.
• What is the maximum current that can be drawn from the REF1004C-2.5?
  The maximum current that can be drawn from the REF1004C-2.5 is 10mA, but it's recommended to keep the current below 5mA for optimal performance and stability.
• How does the REF1004C-2.5 behave during power-up and power-down?
  The REF1004C-2.5 has a soft-start feature that prevents output voltage overshoot during power-up, and it also has a built-in power-down feature that reduces current consumption to near zero when the input voltage is removed.
• Can the REF1004C-2.5 be used in high-temperature applications?
  Yes, the REF1004C-2.5 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the output voltage accuracy and stability may degrade at higher temperatures. It's recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for specific guidance on high-temperature operation.
