Product Description

The Symmetric Research VREF-399 is a precision voltage reference suitable for general lab use and for applications such as the calibration of high resolution A/D converters. The reference provides excellent long term voltage stability with the same voltages returned from one power on cycle to the next.

The voltage reference as a whole is floating. Any one of the outputs may be taken as ground, with the other outputs then distributed positive or negative from the grounded output. This results in a very flexible test instrument which can be used in a variety of applications.

Voltages are available on individual banana jacks, with each of the six jacks approximately one volt apart. A calibration tag with the voltages as measured at the time of production is included with each system. There are no trim pots to be adjusted, all voltages are permanently fixed.

The system is easy to use, requiring only power and connections to the reference banana jacks. A PDF User manual, desktop enclosure, power supply, banana plugs, and alligator cables are included with the "in the box" system.
