### 2. Functional Description
As a **Shunt Voltage Reference**, this device operates similarly to a Zener diode but with significantly better performance.
* **Regulation:** It maintains a constant 5.0V across its terminals by adjusting its internal resistance to shunt excess current to ground.
* **No Output Capacitor Required:** Unlike many LDOs or series references, the ADR5045 is stable without an external output capacitor, saving PCB space.
* **Minimum Current:** It requires at least 60 µA to maintain regulation, making it ideal for battery-powered or low-power sensors.

### 3. Pin Configuration (SC70-3)
The device is housed in a tiny 3-pin surface-mount package.
| Pin Number | Symbol | Function |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 1 | **+** | Positive Terminal (Cathode) |
| 2 | **-** | Negative Terminal (Anode) |
| 3 | **NC** | No Connect (Should be left floating) |

### 4. Typical Application Circuit
To use the ADR5045, an external resistor ($R_{bias}$) must be placed between the input supply ($V_{in}$) and the reference to limit the current.

**Formula for $R_{bias}$:**
$$R_{bias} = \frac{V_{in} - V_{out}}{I_{load} + I_{quiescent}}$$

### 5. Common Use Cases
* **Precision Data Acquisition:** Providing a stable reference for 12-bit or 14-bit ADCs/DACs.
* **Industrial Process Control:** Current loops (4-20mA) and instrumentation.
* **Portable Equipment:** Battery monitoring due to the low 60 µA minimum operating current.
* **Space-constrained PCB designs:** Using the ultra-small SC70 footprint.
