The MC1403P1G from onsemi is a precision 2.5V series voltage reference IC designed for applications requiring stable and accurate voltage regulation. Housed in an 8-pin DIP (Through Hole) package, this obsolete but reliable component offers a ±1% tolerance and a low temperature coefficient of 40ppm/°C, ensuring consistent performance across an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. With an input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V and a low supply current of 1.5mA, it is well-suited for power-sensitive designs. The 10mA output current capability makes it versatile for driving moderate loads, while its fixed output voltage simplifies circuit design.
The MC1403P1G excels in systems demanding stable voltage references, such as:
Though marked obsolete, the MC1403P1G remains a robust choice for engineers seeking a high-accuracy, low-drift voltage reference with wide input compatibility. Its low power consumption, 10mA drive capability, and through-hole packaging make it particularly useful in legacy or prototyping applications. While newer alternatives exist, this IC’s proven performance in precision circuits ensures its continued relevance in industrial, automotive, and measurement systems.
