Product details
Overview
LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower 2-terminal band-gap voltage reference delivering a precise 2.5 V output with ±20 mV (±0.8%) initial tolerance, 30 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 0.6 Ω dynamic impedance. It operates over 20 μA to 20 mA supply current and −40°C to +85°C ambient, enabling use in portable meters, battery-powered sensors, and precision analog front-ends where low quiescent current and long-term stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB application, or LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOIC-8), confirmed electrical specs including reverse breakdown voltage, minimum operating current, dynamic impedance, temperature coefficient, and long-term stability - all validated against TI's SNVS743E revision August 2024 datasheet.
Technical Context
The LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB implements a band-gap reference architecture using on-chip trimmed resistors and transistors to achieve tight initial accuracy and low drift. Its 2-terminal configuration simplifies integration into current-source-based biasing and feedback networks without requiring external resistors for basic operation.
Designed for micropower systems, it maintains regulation across a 1000× current range (20 μA–20 mA) while exhibiting low wideband noise (120 μV rms, 10 Hz–10 kHz) and exceptional capacitive load tolerance - eliminating need for output buffering in most applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.500 V ±20 mV at 25°C; ensures accurate ADC/DAC biasing and sensor excitation within 0.8% error margin. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±20 mV (±0.8%) - A-grade specification; eliminates need for post-manufacture trimming in cost-sensitive instrumentation. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 30 ppm/°C (X suffix); guarantees ≤0.75 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C, suitable for industrial temperature monitoring. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω at 100 μA; enables stable regulation under fast load transients without external compensation. |
| Operating Current Range | 20 μA to 20 mA; supports ultra-low-power sleep modes and high-accuracy active measurement simultaneously. |
| Long-Term Stability | 20 ppm (1000 hr @ 25°C); ensures calibration integrity over product lifetime in medical and test equipment. |
| Wideband Noise | 120 μV rms (10 Hz–10 kHz); preserves signal-to-noise ratio in precision data acquisition circuits. |
Pinout & Package
LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (Package Drawing D, TI designation D0008A), 1.75 mm maximum height, RoHS-compliant with Sn finish. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or beveled corner; pins 1–4 occupy one side, 5–8 the opposite.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode (Input) | Connects to positive supply rail; reverse-biased during normal operation as a 2-terminal shunt reference. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Output/Reference) | Provides regulated 2.5 V output; must be decoupled with ≥1 μF capacitor for stability under varying loads. |
| Pins 3–8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; no external tie required. Not electrically functional per TI SOIC-8 implementation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-terminal shunt topology | Eliminates need for dedicated reference input pin; simplifies PCB layout and reduces component count in current-source configurations. |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable with ≥1 μF ceramic output capacitance - avoids oscillation in battery-powered systems with large bypass caps. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.6 Ω enables direct drive of op-amp inputs and ADC references without series resistance or buffer amplifiers. |
| Micropower operation | 20 μA minimum current allows multi-year battery life in wireless sensor nodes and portable diagnostic tools. |
| Hermetic-grade stability | On-chip trimming and band-gap design yield 20 ppm long-term drift - meets calibration requirements for Class I metrology. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM385BXMX-2.5/NOPB | Same 2.5 V reference, but rated for 0°C to 70°C (vs. −40°C to 85°C); identical SOIC-8 package and pinout. | Not suitable for extended industrial or automotive under-hood environments requiring −40°C operation. | Select LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB when wide temperature range is mandatory; LM385BXMX-2.5/NOPB suffices for commercial indoor use. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 3-terminal SOT-23 device with enable pin; 2.5 V output, 50 ppm/°C TC, 22 μA typical quiescent current. | Requires external resistor for current setting; not drop-in compatible due to different topology and pin count. | Choose REF3025AIDBZR only if system-level enable control or smaller footprint justifies redesign; LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB offers simpler 2-terminal integration. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB?
The LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, matching the LM285 grade specification. This makes it suitable for industrial control panels, outdoor sensor enclosures, and automotive cabin electronics where extended thermal performance is required - unlike the LM385 variant limited to 0°C–70°C.
Is LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB pin-compatible with other SOIC-8 voltage references?
No - LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB is a 2-terminal shunt reference with only Pins 1 and 2 electrically active; Pins 3–8 are NC. Most 3-terminal references (e.g., REF3025) require separate VIN, VOUT, and GND connections. Direct replacement requires verifying topology compatibility, not just pin count or package.
What is the minimum cathode current required for LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB to regulate properly?
The LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB requires a minimum cathode current of 20 μA to maintain regulation within specifications. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates significantly from 2.5 V; design must ensure sufficient current through the external series resistor or load path under all operating conditions.
Can LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB drive capacitive loads directly?
Yes - the LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB is explicitly designed for exceptional capacitive load tolerance. TI's datasheet confirms stable operation with ≥1 μF ceramic output capacitance, eliminating need for isolation resistors in battery-powered systems where large bulk capacitors are used for supply filtering.
What does the 'BX' suffix indicate in LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB?
The 'BX' suffix denotes the A-grade initial tolerance (±20 mV) and X-grade temperature coefficient (30 ppm/°C). This combination provides tighter accuracy than standard 'M' or 'Y' variants, targeting applications requiring higher precision without external calibration - such as portable test equipment and calibrated sensor modules.
