My target is 0.1% accuracy, and I'll be buying lots of 1% sorts of parts. The big concern is TC. The LM4040-3.0 that we have in stock is spec'd at 150 PPM max, with a typical of 15! I think somebody, Analog maybe, may make better 2-terminal bandgaps. John

The low TC is appealing. Those floating-gate things are interesting, and I could run the ADC ref at 2.5 volts, but their dynamics looks goosey. Too big a risk for me on this project. John

Here's a better one: http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/71410.pdf Not avaialble at 3V unfortunately, but +/-1mV at 2.5V is 0.04%! 20ppm per deg C temperature coefficient max. Mark.
