Variations in thermal resistance, caused by uneven air flow, create Although the LT1236 does not have true force/sense differential lead temperatures, thereby causing thermo- capability at its outputs, significant improvements in ground electric voltage noise at the output of the reference. loop and line loss problems can be achieved with proper hook-up.

Twelve feet of INPUT IN OUT + #22 gauge hook-up wire or 1 foot of 0.025 inch printed GND LOAD circuit trace will create 2mV loss at 10mA output current. This is equivalent to 1LSB in a 10V, 12-bit system. GROUND RETURN The following circuits show proper hook-up to minimize LT1236 AI03 errors due to ground loops and line losses. Losses in the output lead can be greatly reduced by adding a PNP boost

Effects of Air Movement on Low Frequency Noise
The LT1236 has very low noise because of the buried zener IN used in its design. In the 0.1Hz to 10Hz band, peak-to-peak LT1236 noise is about 0.5ppm of the DC output. To achieve this OUT GND LOAD low noise, however, care must be taken to shield the R2* reference from ambient air turbulence. Air movement can create noise because of thermoelectric differences be- GROUND RETURN tween IC package leads and printed circuit board materials and/or sockets. Power dissipation in the reference, even *OPTIONAL—REDUCES CURRENT IN OUTPUT SENSE LEAD: R2 = 2.4k (LT1236-5), 5.6k (LT1236-10) though it rarely exceeds 20mW, is enough to cause small LT1236 AI04
