Hi,
First of all, thanks for the remarks, I will try to respond to your comments as best I can.
Almost all the sentences come from translation machines, so "bear with me", please...
chuckbThere are a number of things that are not quite clear to me in the datasheet of the LT1021CH that I am using.
It is said that the LT1021-7V and LT1021-10V can be used as a Shunt Zener, but not the LT1021-5V?
I will test that when I am back in my LAB with LT1021 ICs that are not yet aged
Thanks about the tip about the noise behaviour of the ADA4522.
Both opamps are designed as low pass filters with their -3dB points far below the switching frequency of the IC used.
So I don't think the noise will be a problem, but I will at least measure it to see if it is the case in this circuit.
pigrewThis will be the first time I've tried to connect the LT1021 in series, so I have no idea yet, if it will work.
As I indicated, this is one of my consept schematics, this schematics has not been tested only parts like the two regulators.
About the trimming and the TC, my point of view is, that there will be no TC!
I don't understand why I can use fewer wires if I place the i2c insulator outside the oven, mayby my blind spot?
I hadn't seen the small difference of 40mV in the datasheet between Vdd and the reference voltage.
This can be solved by giving the DAC its own 5V regulator and connecting the Ref to the Vdd, thanks for the remark.
The exact grounding "Mecca Point" has yet to be determined.
GigaJoeI have more than 20 LT1021CH ic's that I've aged for more than three years and from this bunch I'm going to choose the most stable versions in this consept.
I am nog gonna buy LT1021 references :-)
This topic is to show how i will build a reference in a oven with the stuf what I have available, it will not be a "you can build it to project!"
But we can help each other to try and do it differently, perhaps one of you will be inspired by the way I approach this project and I will learn from your comments.
fcbWhat will certainly improve is the noise coming from the LT1021 and this circuit.
If the total circuit ends up drifting too much(then I didn't do my job properly), I can compensate for this with my trimdac.
If I get out of my trim range, I throw the entire reference out of the window!
The LT1021 is a relativ low noise reference.
If i build this reverence well, the noise will be lower than a LTZ1000, we shall see and time will tell...
I have already a 4x LT1021-5V 10V reference in a oven, and its proven realy stable.
If the setup with te serial connected LT1021 is not working, i will go back to 8x parallel en two Vishay 10K resistors for the times two amplifier.
Thats one of my other conseps for my aged LT1021 references.
Aboud Mr Seeback, i know, the problem is also a bit the space in the ovens I have available. So a dual opamp in one case helps with the space.
It is complex and i need to think more aboud this.
When iám back in my LAB, i wil put alot of the components on a piece of circuitboard to see if it wil fit the proper way.
Maybe its is possible to fit two circuitboards in the oven...
Keep the remarks comming, it realy helps.
The reference wil be checkt on a regular basis with my Calibrated Agilent 3458A DMM and verry stable TEK 4050 DMM's.
And the Reference will only be build one time.
Kind regards,
Bram
