Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.

The 6381 is a micropower 2-terminal band-gap voltage regulator diode. Operating over a 20uA to 20mA current range, it features exceptionally low dynamic impedance and good temperature stability.  On-chip trimming is used to provide tight voltage tolerance. Since the 6381 band-gap reference uses only transistors and resistors, low noise and good long term stability result.

Careful design of the 6381 has made the device exceptionally tolerant of capacitive loading, making it easy to use in almost any reference application. The wide dynamic operating range allows its use with widely varying supplies with excellent regulation.  The extremely low power drain of the 6381 makes it useful for micropower circuitry. This voltage reference can be used to make portable meters, regulators or general purpose analog circuitry with battery life approaching shelf life. Further, the wide operating current allows it to replace older references with a tighter tolerance part. For applications requiring 1.2V see 6381.
