[time-nuts] Linear voltage regulator hints...

Hi

As with anything else it’s a matter of “what’s in your wallet”. 

The parts you are after are called voltage references rather than voltage regulators. You can get them well down into the low ppm’s / C or lower. The cutoff is more a function of “do you want to spend $100 or not” rather than a specific level you simply can’t get to.

(millivolt / few degrees Fahrenheit sort of sensitivity). Most of the datasheets seem to ignore temp sensitivity. Almost like they are so bad they don't want to publish it...
