Note 2:
The substrate is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the temperature stabilizer. The voltage that can be applied to either terminal of the refer-
ence is 40V more positive or 0.1V more negative than the substrate.

Note 4:
This initial current can be reduced by adding an appropriate resistor and capacitor to the heater circuit. See the performance characteristic graphs to de-
termine values.
Note 5:
Do not wash the LM199 with its polysulfone thermal shield in TCE.
Note 6:
A military RETS electrical test specification is available for the LM199H/883, LM199AH/883, and LM199AH-20/883 on request.

Certified Long Term Drift
The National Semiconductor LM199AH-20, LM299AH-20,
and LM399AH-50 are ultra-stable Zener references specially
selected from the production runs of LM199AH, LM299AH,
LM399AH and tested to confirm a long-term stability of 20,
20, or 50 ppm per 1000 hours, respectively. The devices are
measured every 168 hours and the voltage of each device is
logged and compared in such a way as to show the deviation
from its initial value. Each measurement is taken with a
probable-worst-case deviation of
±
2 ppm, compared to the
Reference Voltage, which is derived from several groups of
NBS-traceable references such as LM199AH-20’s, 1N827’s,
and saturated standard cells, so that the deviation of any one
group will not cause false indications. Indeed, this compari-
son process has recently been automated using a specially
prepared computer program which is custom-designed to re-
ject noisy data (and require a repeat reading) and to record
the average of the best 5 of 7 readings, just as a sagacious
standards engineer will reject unbelievable readings.
The typical characteristic for the LM199AH-20 is shown be-
low. This computerized print-out form of each reference’s
stability is shipped with the unit.
