The extremely low power drain of the LM385-2.5 makes it useful for micropower circuitry. This volt- age reference can be used to make portable me- ters, regulators, or general purpose analog circui- try with battery life approaching shelf life. Further, the wide operating current allows it to replace older references with a tighter tolerance.
