SPX432N-L/TR

PMIC, or power management IC, is an important component of modern circuit boards. It is responsible for regulating the voltage, current and power distribution in the circuit boards. One specific example of a power management IC, SPX432N-L/TR, is a voltage reference. It serves as a stable reference voltage, and can be used in a wide range of applications.

SPX432N-L/TR is a precision, low drift voltage reference IC. It is capable of providing a stable reference voltage up to 4.096V across a specified temperature range. The device also features a low operating current of 10mA, making it well suited for demanding applications. Additionally, the device is packaged in an 8-pins surface mount SOT-23 package, which further adds to its flexibility in applications.

The working principle of SPX432N-L/TR is based on precision current mirroring. The device has two separate mirrors and one implementation is depicted in the figure below. The reference voltage is applied to the gate of Q0, which adjusts the current represented by Iref. This reference current is split in Q1 and Q2, the exact ratio being determined by R1. The output voltage is generated across R2. This voltage is then monitored by the differential amplifier, which adjusts the current Iq0 to keep the output voltage stabilized.
