SNVSCU8 August 2026 REF53-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The REF53-Q1 voltage references are capable of source up to 30mA and sink up to 10mA of load current across the rated input voltage range. However, when used in applications subject to high ambient temperatures, the input voltage and load current must be carefully monitored to make sure that the device does not exceed the maximum power dissipation rating. The maximum power dissipation of the device can be calculated with Equation 3:
where
Because of this relationship, acceptable load current in high temperature conditions can be less than the maximum current-sourcing capability of the device. Do not operate the device outside of the maximum power rating because doing so can result in premature failure or permanent damage to the device.
