Hi Didier, Bruce,
 
Thanks for the pointers!
 
the Thaler ref is pretty nice, low noise too. The LT part is a bit complex  
to properly put into an application, and both are probably not that cheap. I  
like Intersils' new X60008 reference line, cheap, pretty good stability, very  
good accuracy, and completely self-contained.
 
bye,
Said
