Product details
Overview
DC1813A-F from Analog Devices is an evaluation board for the LTC6655LN-2.5 precision voltage reference IC, delivering 2.5V output with ±0.025% initial accuracy, 2ppm/°C max drift, and ultra-low 0.12ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise when using the NR pin with a 100µF capacitor. It supports high-resolution data acquisition and instrumentation applications requiring stable, low-drift references over –40°C to 125°C.
For engineers reviewing the DC1813A-F datasheet, DC1813A-F pinout, DC1813A-F application, or DC1813A-F equivalent, this board enables rapid validation of LTC6655LN-2.5 performance-including noise reduction via the NR pin, load regulation under ±5mA sourcing/sinking, shutdown current <20µA, and stability with 2.7µF–100µF output capacitors-under real-world PCB layout and thermal conditions.
Technical Context
The DC1813A-F implements the LTC6655LN-2.5 in its 8-lead MSOP package with dedicated NR pin routing, star-grounded GND connections at Pin 4, and optimized bypassing (0.1µF on VIN, 2.7µF–100µF on VOUT_F). It validates the reference's curvature-compensated bandgap architecture, which achieves predictable temperature behavior and eliminates need for system-level calibration in precision ADC/DAC biasing.
It demonstrates the dual-output topology of the LTC6655LN variant: VOUT_F (Pin 7) provides force/sense capability with ±5mA drive, while NR (Pin 6) accepts external capacitance to suppress wideband noise without affecting DC accuracy or thermal hysteresis (30ppm over –40°C to 85°C in LS8, confirmed for MSOP-equivalent stability).

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DC1813A-F evaluation board?
The DC1813A-F evaluation board is designed exclusively to validate the performance of the LTC6655LN-2.5 precision voltage reference IC. It provides a proven-layout platform to measure key parameters including 0.12ppmP-P low-frequency noise (with NR pin capacitor), 2ppm/°C temperature drift, ±5mA sourcing/sinking capability, and <20µA shutdown current-enabling rapid prototyping of high-accuracy data acquisition systems before custom PCB spin.
Does the DC1813A-F support both MSOP and LS8 packages of the LTC6655LN-2.5?
No, the DC1813A-F is configured for the 8-lead MSOP package of the LTC6655LN-2.5 only. It implements the specific pinout shown in the LTC6655/LTC6655LN datasheet Rev. J for MSOP: SHDN (Pin 1), VIN (Pin 2), GND (Pins 3,4,5,8), NR (Pin 6), and VOUT_F (Pin 7). The LS8 ceramic LCC package requires a different footprint and is not supported by this board.
How is noise reduction implemented on the DC1813A-F for the LTC6655LN-2.5?
Noise reduction on the DC1813A-F is implemented via direct access to the NR (Noise Reduction) pin (Pin 6) of the LTC6655LN-2.5. The board includes test points and solder pads to connect a capacitor (recommended 100µF) between NR and GND, reducing 0.1Hz–10Hz noise from 0.25ppmP-P to 0.12ppmP-P without impacting DC accuracy, drift, or thermal hysteresis-exactly as specified in the LTC6655LN-2.5 datasheet.
Can the DC1813A-F be used to evaluate load regulation of the LTC6655LN-2.5?
Yes, the DC1813A-F supports full load regulation testing of the LTC6655LN-2.5. Its VOUT_F (Pin 7) trace is routed with low-inductance geometry and star-grounded at Pin 4, enabling accurate measurement of output voltage change under ±5mA sourcing and sinking loads. The board's layout validates the datasheet-specified <10ppm/mA load regulation and confirms stability with output capacitors from 2.7µF to 100µF.
What power supply requirements must be met when using the DC1813A-F with the LTC6655LN-2.5?
When using the DC1813A-F, the LTC6655LN-2.5 requires a supply voltage of at least VOUT + 0.5V (i.e., ≥3.0V) up to 13.2V, per the datasheet. The board includes a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor on VIN for PSRR enhancement. Supply current is 5–7.5mA in normal operation and drops to <20µA in shutdown-verified using the SHDN test point. Input ripple must be minimized to preserve the reference's 0.12ppmP-P noise performance.
