I'll probably run the 1117 output at about 3.4 volts to make sure the drop in the resistor is reasonable. 400 ohms would put about 1 mA into the 4040. John

You'll need to calibrate it to get any decent absolute accuracy. Mark.

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.
