REF3333 Typical Application
The REF33xx is a family of low-power, precision band-gap voltage references that are specifically designed for extremely low dropout, excellent initial voltage accuracy with a high output current. The extremely small size of the SC70-3, SOT-23-3, and UQFN-8 make these references very attractive for space-constrained applications. The following section describes one common application.
