Product Overview
The LM336Z-2.5 from Texas Instruments (originally National Semiconductor) is a precision 2.5V shunt voltage reference diode in a TO-92 through-hole package. With 0.2Ohm dynamic impedance, 400uA to 10mA operating current range, and adjustable temperature coefficient via a third terminal, it provides a stable 2.5V reference for 5V logic systems.
