They didn't make sense for 7V.My guess is that it made using the 723 for 5V supplies morepractical, although it could be wired up.The data sheet seems to indicate a better tolerance.The 2.5V references are usually bandgap and are tightertolerance. As I recall, in the supply I was working on, it was a low current 12V line.Dwight
