It is also good 5VV+ practice to include 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors at the IC supply ADR280 pin. These capacitors should be mounted close to their 5VV– respective pins (see Figure 12). 1.2VU2+VOV+VOUTV+1.8VAD8541C10.1µFV–0.1µFADR280C2–R22.2pFV–60kΩ ± 0.1%R1 7 VOUT120kΩ ± 0.1% 01 5- 0.1µF 14 06 0 03 5- 06 Figure 15. 1.8 V Reference 03 Figure 12. Basic Configuration LOW COST, LOW POWER CURRENT SOURCE The low supply voltage input pin V− can be elevated above Because of its low power characteristics, the ADR280 can be ground; a 1.2 V differential voltage can therefore be established converted to a current source with just a setting resistor. In above V− (see Figure 13). addition to the ADR280 current capability, the supply voltage and the load limit the maximum current. The circuit in Figure 16 5VV+0.1µF produces 100 μA with 2 V compliance at a 5 V supply. The load ADR280 current is the sum of ISET and IGND. IGND increases slightly with V– load; a RSET of 13.6 kΩ yields 100 μA of load current. 2.5VU11.2V + V–VOUT5VV+0.1µF 5 -01 5 ADR280 06 03 Figure 13.

Buffered Output V– Users can also tailor any specific need for voltage and dynamics with an external op amp and discrete components (see Figure 14 VOUT and Figure 15). Depending on the specific op amp and PCB C2 layout, it may be necessary to add a compensation capacitor, C2, 0.1µF to prevent gain peaking and oscillation. The exact value of C2 5VR needed requires some trial and error but usually falls in the SET12kΩ–U2V+ range of a few picofarads. AD8541V–+RLI1kΩL100µA 19 0 5- IL = 1.2V/RSET 06 03 Figure 17.
