Central Semiconductor has released the CMKTC825A temperature compensated Zener diode packaged in a space saving mini SOT-363 surface mount case. Claimed to be the world’s first TC Zener in a plastic surface mount package, the device provides a highly stable reference voltage of 6.2V with only a small voltage change of less than 0.28mV/°C over the temperature range of -55° to +100°C. This is a considerable improvement compared to a standard Zener diode, which typically exhibits a voltage change of 500mV over the same temperature range.
Designed for applications requiring extremely stable voltage reference over temperature, the CMKTC825A is ideal for use in high stability oscillators, digital volt/frequency meters, analog-to- digital converters, and precision DC power supplies. End products for this device include test equipment, consumer electronics and industrial equipment.
