Designing Reference Voltage Sources Based on Voltage Regulator Diodes

When designing reference voltage sources based on voltage regulator diodes, several factors need to be considered:

Selection of voltage regulator diodes: It is necessary to choose the appropriate voltage regulator diode model based on specific application scenarios. Different models have different voltage regulation values and accuracy, so selection should be based on actual requirements.

Circuit layout and wiring: Reasonable circuit layout and wiring are crucial for improving the stability and accuracy of reference voltage sources, while avoiding interference and noise in the circuit.

Temperature compensation: Since the output voltage of voltage regulator diodes may vary slightly with temperature changes, temperature compensation is necessary to improve the stability of reference voltage sources. Temperature compensation circuits can be used to minimize the impact of temperature changes on the output voltage.
