It said high-voltage reference on the tin. I expected high-voltage, just not 100kV.

@cmb That's awesome. I don't know when I'll need such a thing, but I am going to try to remember this application. 😆

@cmb High voltage is fun! If anyone has a digital mammography on a Analogic or Hologic based system, the imaging plate is essentially one large flat diode with a stable 2 kV across the thickness

It smells funky when it arcs!

@cmb lol, that’s great. It low key has paralleling IMUs for better performance vibes https://www.willwhang.dev/Project-IMU-Array/

@cmb ten thousand 10v references in series?

For when volt nuts get into high voltage i guess lol

@cmb I'm pretty sure some of the big ESA radars have more than 10000 TI parts, may be wrong though.

@cmb When your SMT line has 12 reels of the same part to build 4 boards.
