The LT 1461 is a low dropout micropower bandgap reference that combines very high accuracy and low drift with low supply current and high output drive. This series reference uses advanced curvature compensation techniques to obtain low temperature coefficient and trimmed precision thin-film resistors to achieve high output accuracy. The LT1461 draws only 35A of supply current, making it ideal for low power and portable applications, however its high 50mA output drive makes it suitable for higher power requirements, such as precision regulators.
