Hello,
This is a reference design that can be found on TI's data sheet of the LM336 :
This is what I have done (same thing - I think).
My output is 5V (adjustable from 7.6 to 4.2V) and the trimmer set at 68 Ohms gets hot, thus getting the output out of whack.
Not the 2.5V 3% advertised...
Overall the two 336 I have are acting weird and out of spec of the ref designs. Am I doing something very dumb here?
My overall idea is to get a 2.5V reference that is cleanish at the 5mV
This is fed by a 12V brick supply, fed into a 7809 delivering a slight ripple (but this should not matter, I get the same thing with my bench supply).
Should I just forget it and use a 7805 with a 10kOhms voltage divider?
