They are designed to provide 7V outputs with temperature drifts of 0.05ppm/°C, about 1.2µVP-P of noise and long-term stability of 2µV/√kHr. n n Applications n n n n n Included on the chip is a subsurface zener reference, a heater resistor for temperature stabilization, and a temperature sensing transistor. External circuitry is used to set operating currents and to temperature stabilize the reference. This allows maximum flexibility and best longterm stability and noise. The LTZ1000 and LTZ1000A references can provide superior performance to older devices such as the LM199, provided that the user implements the heater control and properly manages the thermal layout. To simplify thermal insulation, the LTZ1000A uses a proprietary die attach method to provide significantly higher thermal resistance than the LTZ1000.

Temperature drifts of better than 0.03ppm/°C and long-term stability on the order of 1µV per month can be achieved. Noise of about 0.15ppm can also be obtained. This performance is at the expense of circuit complexity, since external influences can easily cause output voltage shifts of more than 1ppm. Thermocouple effects are one of the worst problems and can give apparent drifts of many ppm/°C as well as cause low frequency noise. The kovar input leads of the TO-5 package form thermocouples when connected to copper PC boards. These thermocouples generate outputs of 35µV/°C. It is mandatory to keep the zener and transistor leads at the same temperature, otherwise 1ppm to 5ppm shifts in the output voltage can easily be expected from these thermocouples. Air currents blowing across the leads can also cause small temperature variations, especially since the package is heated. This will look like 1ppm to 5ppm of low frequency noise occurring over a several minute period. For best results, the device should be located in an enclosed area and well shielded from air currents. Certainly, any temperature gradient externally generated, say from a power supply, should not appear across the critical circuitry. The leads to the transistor and zener should be connected to equal size PC traces to equalize the heat loss and maintain them at similar temperatures. The bottom portion of the PC board should be shielded against air currents as well. Resistors, as well as having resistance temperature coefficients, can generate thermocouple effects. Some types of resistors can generate hundreds of microvolts of thermocouple voltage. These thermocouple effects in the resistor can also interfere with the output voltage. Wire wound resistors usually have the lowest thermocouple voltage, while tin oxide type resistors have very high thermocouple voltage. Film resistors, especially Vishay precision film resistors, can have low thermocouple voltage. Ordinary breadboarding techniques are not good enough to give stable output voltage with the LTZ1000 family devices. For breadboarding, it is suggested that a small printed circuit board be made up using the reference, the amplifier and wire wound resistors. Care must be taken to ensure that heater current does not flow through the same ground lead as the negative side of the reference (emitter of Q1). Current changes in the heater could add to, or subtract from, the reference voltage causing errors with temperature. Single point grounding using low resistance wiring is suggested. 1000afd 4 LTZ1000/LTZ1000A APPLICATIONS INFORMATION is because normal operating power dissipation in the LTZ1000A causes a temperature rise of about 10°C. Of course both types of devices should be insulated from ambient. Several minutes of warm-up is usual. Setting Control Temperature The emitter-base voltage of the control transistor sets the stabilization temperature for the LTZ1000. With the values given in the applications, temperature is normally 60°C. This provides 15°C of margin above a maximum ambient of 45°C, for example. Production variations in emitter-base voltage will typically cause about ±10°C variation. Since the emitter-base voltage changes about 2mV/°C and is very predictable, other temperatures are easily set. For applications not requiring the extreme precision or the low noise of the LTZ1000, Linear Technology makes a broad line of voltage references. Devices like the LT1021 can provide drifts as low as 2ppm/°C and devices such as the LM399A can provide drifts of 1ppm/°C. Only applications requiring the very low noise or low drift with time of the LTZ1000 should use this device. See Application Notes AN-82 and AN-86 for further information. Consult the Linear Technology Applications department for additional help. Because higher temperatures accelerate aging and decrease long-term stability, the lowest temperature consistent with the operating environment should be used. The LTZ1000A should be set about 10°C higher than the LTZ1000.
