8.4.2 Supply Voltage

The REF50xx family of voltage references features extremely low dropout voltage. With the exception of the REF5020, which has a minimum supply requirement of 2.7V, operate the family of references with a supply of 200mV more than the output voltage in an unloaded condition. For loaded conditions, Figure 6-6 shows a typical dropout voltage versus load plot.
