# REF198ES Product Series: Precision and Performance Redefined
## Overview
The REF198ES product series stands as a pinnacle of engineering excellence, designed to meet the most demanding requirements across a wide range of industries. This comprehensive line of products offers a blend of high - precision performance, reliability, and advanced features, making it an ideal choice for applications where accuracy and stability are paramount.
## Key Features
### High - Precision Voltage Reference
At the heart of the REF198ES series is its exceptional voltage reference capability. These devices provide a highly stable output voltage with extremely low temperature coefficients. This means that regardless of temperature fluctuations in the operating environment, the output voltage remains consistent, ensuring accurate and reliable performance of the overall system. For example, in precision measurement equipment, the stable voltage reference helps in obtaining accurate readings, reducing measurement errors to a minimum.
### Low Noise Operation
Noise can be a significant issue in many electronic systems, especially those that require high - sensitivity signal processing. The REF198ES series is engineered to have extremely low output noise. This low - noise characteristic is crucial in applications such as audio amplifiers, where even the slightest noise can degrade the audio quality. By minimizing noise, the REF198ES ensures that the signal remains clean and pure, enhancing the overall performance of the system.
### Wide Output Voltage Range
The REF198ES series offers a wide range of output voltage options. This flexibility allows designers to select the most appropriate output voltage for their specific application. Whether it's a low - voltage application in a portable device or a higher - voltage requirement in an industrial control system, the REF198ES can be configured to meet the needs. This wide range of output voltages also simplifies the design process, as designers do not have to search for multiple voltage reference sources for different parts of their system.
### Excellent Line and Load Regulation
Line regulation refers to the ability of the voltage reference to maintain a constant output voltage despite changes in the input voltage. Load regulation, on the other hand, is about keeping the output voltage stable when the load current changes. The REF198ES series excels in both aspects. It has excellent line and load regulation characteristics, which means that it can provide a stable output voltage even when there are fluctuations in the input power supply or changes in the load connected to it. This is particularly important in power - sensitive applications, such as battery - powered devices, where the input voltage may vary as the battery discharges.
### Small Package Size
In today's electronics industry, there is a constant demand for smaller and more compact devices. The REF198ES series is available in small - sized packages, which makes it suitable for space - constrained applications. These small packages not only save board space but also allow for more efficient use of the available area on the printed circuit board (PCB). This is beneficial in applications such as wearable devices, where size and weight are critical factors.
## Applications
### Industrial Automation
In industrial automation systems, precision and reliability are essential for smooth operation. The REF198ES series can be used as a voltage reference in programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motor control units, and sensor interfaces. Its high - precision output voltage ensures accurate control of industrial processes, while its stability and low noise characteristics help in reducing errors and improving the overall efficiency of the system.
### Test and Measurement Equipment
Test and measurement instruments, such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and data acquisition systems, require highly accurate voltage references. The REF198ES series meets these requirements with its low temperature coefficient, low noise, and excellent regulation. It enables these instruments to provide accurate and repeatable measurements, making it an indispensable component in the test and measurement industry.
### Medical Devices
Medical devices, such as patient monitors, diagnostic equipment, and infusion pumps, demand the highest level of precision
