This video will review the most important parameters in a VREF and will go 
over how to interpret each of these parameters in a system. In particular, 
this video will cover initial accuracy, temperature coefficient drift 
(ppm/C), thermal stability, long-term stability, noise, power consumption, 
and total error calculation.
