Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage of LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB?
The LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB provides a fixed 2.5V reference output with +/-1% initial accuracy. It is a shunt-type two-terminal voltage reference that maintains a stable 2.5V across its terminals over a wide operating current range of 20uA to 20mA.
What package does the LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB come in?
The LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB is packaged in a TO-92 through-hole package with 3 pins. This classic through-hole format is easy to hand-solder and ideal for prototyping and low-volume production. The NOPB suffix confirms it is lead-free and RoHS compliant.
What are typical applications for the LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB?
The LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB is widely used as a precision 2.5V reference in ADC/DAC circuits, battery-powered portable instruments, comparator threshold references, and low-power analog designs. Its micropower operation (20uA min) makes it ideal for energy-sensitive applications.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB?
The LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB has a minimum order quantity of 1 piece. Pricing starts at $0.558 per unit for single pieces, with tiered pricing available: $0.45 ea at 34+, $0.372 ea at 44+, and $0.2604 ea at 162+ units. Global shipping available.
What are alternatives to the LM385BZ-2.5/NOPB?
Compatible alternatives include the LM336BZ-2.5/NOPB (pin-compatible TO-92, 2.5V reference from TI) and TL431ACLPR (adjustable shunt reference). The LM336-2.5 is a direct pin-compatible replacement for many designs.
