Design & Build 5 Volt Reference Standard

This project is for the hobbyist to design and build a 5 volt precision voltage reference standard that requires no adjustment but still has an accuracy of ±0.01% or better and a temperature coefficient of ±3 ppm/ºC. Also incorporating an auto switch-off and battery monitor feature.
