DESCRIPTION
The LM136-2.5-N/LM236-2.5-N and LM336-2.5-N
integrated circuits are precision 2.5V shunt regulator
diodes. These monolithic IC voltage references
operate as a low-temperature-coefficient 2.5V zener
with 0.2Ω dynamic impedance. A third terminal on the
LM136-2.5-N allows the reference voltage and
temperature coefficient to be trimmed easily.
The LM136-2.5-N series is useful as a precision 2.5V
low voltage reference for digital voltmeters, power
supplies or op amp circuitry. The 2.5V make it
convenient to obtain a stable reference from 5V logic
supplies. Further, since the LM136-2.5-N operates as
a shunt regulator, it can be used as either a positive
or negative voltage reference.
The LM136-2.5-N is rated for operation over −55°C to
+125°C while the LM236-2.5-N is rated over a −25°C
to +85°C temperature range.
The LM336-2.5-N is rated for operation over a 0°C to
+70°C temperature range. See the connection
diagrams for available packages.

APPLICATION HINTS
The LM136 series voltage references are much easier to use than ordinary zener diodes. Their low impedance
and wide operating current range simplify biasing in almost any circuit. Further, either the breakdown voltage or
the temperature coefficient can be adjusted to optimize circuit performance.
Figure 14 shows an LM136 with a 10k potentiometer for adjusting the reverse breakdown voltage. With the
addition of R1 the breakdown voltage can be adjusted without affecting the temperature coefficient of the device.
The adjustment range is usually sufficient to adjust for both the initial device tolerance and inaccuracies in buffer
circuitry.
If minimum temperature coefficient is desired, two diodes can be added in series with the adjustment
potentiometer as shown in Figure 15. When the device is adjusted to 2.490V the temperature coefficient is
minimized. Almost any silicon signal diode can be used for this purpose such as a 1N914, 1N4148 or a 1N457.
For proper temperature compensation the diodes should be in the same thermal environment as the LM136. It is
usually sufficient to mount the diodes near the LM136 on the printed circuit board. The absolute resistance of R1
is not critical and any value from 2k to 20k will work.
