THERMAL HYSTERESIS LONG-TERM STABILITY
Thermal hysteresis for the REF32xx is defined as the Long-term stability refers to the change of the output
change in output voltage after operating the device at voltage of a reference over a period of months or
+25°C, cycling the device through the specified years. This effect lessens as time progresses, as is
temperature range, and returning to +25°C. It can be shown by the long-term stability Typical Characteristic
expressed as: curves. The typical drift value for the REF32xx is
55ppm from 0 to 1000 hours. This parameter is
characterized by measuring 30 units at regular
intervals for a period of 1000 hours.

TEMPERATURE DRIFT
The REF32xx is designed to exhibit minimal drift
error, which is defined as the change in output
voltage over varying temperature. The drift is
calculated using the box method, as described by
Equation 2:

The REF32xx features a typical drift coefficient of
4ppm/°C from 0°C to +125°C—the primary
