LM336 vs. LM336B ?

[Andre Majorel]

What is the difference between the LM336 and LM336B ? I can't
find any on the data sheet I have doesn't show any and yet
Farnell carries both (at very different prices).

Thanks in advance.

The standard National data sheet, has two columns in the electrical

characteristics section, one labelled 'LM136A/LM336A', and the other
'LM336B'.
The B has slightly worse tolerance on the initial reference voltage, but
about twice as good temperature stability.

This should probably read LM136A/LM236A. The LM136 has an operating
temperature range from -55°C to +150°C, the LM236 from -25°C to
+85°C.

The B has slightly worse tolerance on the initial reference voltage, but
about twice as good temperature stability.

The LM336 is specified at (2.49 +/- 0.10)V at 25°C, and the LM336B at
(2.49 +/- 0.05)V, which is twice as good. Between the two, there is no
difference in temperature stability. The stability of the LM136 and the

LM236 is worse because it refers to a larger temperature range.

No. There is a seperate column for the 136/236.

The B has slightly worse tolerance on the initial reference voltage,
but
about twice as good temperature stability.

Sorry, but this differs completely from the sheet. The 136/236, has it's

own seperate column. I can only say what is printed on the sheets I
have...

I think there is little real disagreement. Unfortunately the original
poster didn't tell us if he meant the 2.5V versions or the 5V versions
of this chip. Unfortunately you mentioned only the LM336A and LM336B,
but not the LM336 (no A or B suffix) he also asked about. My point was
to explain the seemingly strange fact that the higher grade
LM236/LM236A
and LM136/LM136A have worse temperature stability specs.

My reference is the National Semiconductor pdf datasheet dated May
1998.
This has just two columns: one labelled "LM136A-2.5/ LM236A-2.5/
LM136-2.5/ LM236-2.5" and the other "LM336B-2.5/ LM336-2.5".

Mine was the 2004, printed databook. They look to have 'fiddled' a bit

with their layout and claims.
The usual explanation for a less stable version being more expensive, is
that they basically don't sell an of them!...
