Introduction
The MCP1501 is a buffered voltage reference capable
of sinking and sourcing 20 mA of current. The voltage
reference is a low-drift bandgap-based reference. The
bandgap uses chopper-based amplifiers, reducing the
drift to zero, providing high current output with no
degradation in performance.
The MCP1501 is available in the following packages:
• 6-Lead SOT-23
• 8-Lead SOIC
• 8-Lead 2 mm x 2 mm WDFN

on the output pin.

Where:
OUT

temperature range
OUT
NOM
= Average output voltage over the

T
= Temperature range over which the

1.1.2
INPUT VOLTAGE
The input voltage (V
IN
) is the range of voltage that can
be applied to the V
DD
pin and still have the device
produce the designated output voltage on the OUT pin.
1.1.3
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
(TC
OUTPUT
)
The output temperature coefficient or voltage drift is a
measure of how much the output voltage will vary from
its initial value with changes in ambient temperature.
The value specified in the electrical specifications is
measured as shown in
Equation
.
1.1.4
DROPOUT VOLTAGE
The dropout voltage is related to Line Regulation and is
defined as the voltage difference between the input and
output where the output voltage under load is main-
tained to 1% of the typical output voltage.
Equation 1-2
is used to calculate the dropout voltage.

LINE REGULATION
An ideal voltage reference will maintain a constant
output voltage regardless of any changes to the input
voltage; however, when real devices are considered a
small error may be measured on the output when an
input voltage change occurs.
Line regulation is defined as the change in output
voltage (
V
OUT
) as a function of a change in input
voltage (
V
IN
) and expressed in percent as shown in
Equation 1-3.
As an example, if the MCP1501-20 is implemented in a
design and a 2 µV change in output voltage is
measured from a 250 mV change on the input then the
error in percent, ppm, percent/volt, and ppm/volt is
shown in
Equation 1-6 – Equation 1-9.
