Thus, with a given grade of the AD581, the designer 20V can easily determine the maximum total error from initial toler- T U ance plus temperature variation (for example, for the AD581T, the 10VP IN initial tolerance is ±10 mV, the temperature error band is ±15 mV, 0V 7 00 4- thus the unit is guaranteed to be 10.000 V ±25 mV from −55°C 01 08 050100 150 200 250 to +125°C). SETTLING TIME (µs)OUTPUT CURRENT CHARACTERISTICS Figure 7. Output Settling Characteristic The AD581 has the capability to either source or sink current and provide good load regulation in either direction, although 1000 it has better characteristics in the source mode (positive current NOISE SPECTRAL DENSITY (nV/ Hz) into the load). The circuit is protected for shorts to either positive supply or ground. The output voltage vs. output current charac- 100 teristics of the device are shown in Figure 6. Source current is displayed as negative current in the figure; sink current is positive. Note that the short-circuit current (that is, 0 V output) TOTAL NOISE (µV rms) UP is about 28 mA; when shorted to +15 V, the sink current goes to TO SPECIFIED FREQUENCY10 about 20 mA. +V 08 S = 15V 0 14T 4- A = 25°C 01 1 08 12101001k10k100k1M) (VFREQUENCY (Hz)E 10G Figure 8.

Quiescent Current vs. Temperature respond quickly when the power is turned on for operation. Figure 7 displays the turn-on characteristic of the AD581. This characteristic is generated from a cold start operation and repre- sents the true turn-on waveform after an extended period with the supplies off. The figure shows both the coarse and fine transient characteristics of the device; the total settling time to within ±10 mV is about 180 μs, and there is no long thermal tail appearing after the point.
