Devices) REF01 and REF02; Burr-Brown’s (now part of Texas Instruments) 10-volt
REF102; Linear Technology’s amazing LTZ1000 (buried-zener, also designed by Rob-
ert Dobkin) and LT1021, designed by Carl Nelson; Maxim’s innovative MAX676 with
on-board temperature-correction ROM, which provided a tempco of 0.6 ppm/˚C;
National Semiconductor’s low-cost bandgap devices LM185/285/385 (again designed
by Bob Dobkin); Intersil’s popular ICL8069 (a two-terminal bandgap); and others with
more recent products, which we will look at in Chapters 14 and 15.
