REF5050IDG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

REF5050IDG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended output capacitor value for the REF5050?
  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 REF5050 is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  To ensure stability, use a low-ESR output capacitor, keep the output capacitor close to the REF5050, and avoid using long traces or wires that can cause oscillations.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the REF5050 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 18V, but it's recommended to operate the REF5050 within the specified operating range of 4.5V to 16V for optimal performance and reliability.
• Can I use the REF5050 as a voltage regulator?
  No, the REF5050 is a voltage reference, not a voltage regulator. It's designed to provide a stable voltage reference, not to regulate voltage.
• How accurate is the REF5050's output voltage?
  The REF5050 has a typical output voltage accuracy of ±0.05% (±5mV) at 5V, making it suitable for applications requiring high accuracy and stability.
