Noise in a 1 MHz bandwidth is approximately 840 µV p-p. The dominant source 10V1mV100 µ s of this noise is the buried Zener which contributes +VS100 approximately 140 nV/√Hz. In comparison, the op amp’s 90 contribution is negligible. Figure 6 shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise of a typical AD688. –VS1mV5s+VOUT101000%9010V1 µ V 00815-008 Figure 8.

This will form a low-pass filter with the 5 kΩ RB on 10 the output of the Zener cell. A 1 µF capacitor will have a 3 dB 0% point at 32 Hz and will reduce the high frequency noise (to 10V 1 MHz) to about 250 µV p-p. Figure 7 shows the 1 MHz noise of 00815-009 a typical AD688 both with and without a 1 µF capacitor. Figure 9. Turn On Characteristics: Extended Time Scale Output turn on time is modified when an external noise 200 µ V50 µ s reduction capacitor is used. When present, this capacitor presents an additional load to the internal Zener diode’s current source, resulting in a somewhat longer turn on time. In the case CN = 1 µ F of a 1 µF capacitor, the initial turn on time is approximately 100 ms (Figure 10). When the noise reduction feature is used, a 20 kΩ resistor between Pin 6 and Pin 2 is required for proper startup. NO CN10V1mV20ms+VS100 00815-007 90 Figure 7. Effect of 1 µF Noise Reduction Capacitor on Broadband Noise TURN ON TIME–V Upon application of power (cold start), the time required for S the output voltage to reach its final value within a specified error is the turn on settling time. Two components normally +VOUT10 associated with this are: time for active circuits to settle and 0% time for thermal gradients on the chip to stabilize. Figure 8 and Figure 9 show the turn on characteristics of the AD688. They 10V 00815-010 show the settling time to be about 600 µs. Note the absence of Figure 10. Turn On With 1 µF CN Rev.
