ZXRE330
PRECISION MICROPOWER SHUNT VOLTAGE REFERENCES
Description
The ZXRE330 is a low knee current 3.3V voltage reference. Offering
tight tolerances and sharp knee characteristics – consuming only 1µA
when the 3.3V reference voltage can no longer be maintained.
Excellent performance is maintained over the 1µA to 5mA operating
current range. The device has been designed to be highly tolerant of
capacitive loads so maintaining excellent stability.
It’s available in small outline SOT23 and TO92 packages. This device
offers a pin for pin compatible alternative to industry standard shunt
voltage reference.

Application Information
In a conventional shunt regulator application (Figure
1),
an external series resistor (R
S
) is connected between the supply voltage, V
S
, and the
ZXRE330.
R
S
determines the current that flows through the load (I
L
) and the ZXRE330 (I
R
). Since load current and supply voltage
may vary, R
S
should be small enough to supply at least the minimum acceptable I
R
to the ZXRE330 even when the
V
S
supply voltage is at its minimum and the load current is at its maximum value. When the supply voltage is at its maximum
and I
L
is at its minimum, R
S
should be large enough so that the current flowing through the ZXRE330 is less than 10mA.

is determined by the supply voltage, (V

Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations
ZXRE330 in the SOT23 package have the die attached to pin 3, which results in an electrical contact between pin 2 and
pin 3. Therefore, pin 3 of the SOT23 package must be left floating or connected to pin 2.
ZXRE330 in the TO92 package have the die attached to pin 2, which results in an electrical contact between pin 2 and pin
1. Therefore, pin 2 must be left floating or connected to pin1.
