Product details
Overview
LM285BYM-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, 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and operation over −40°C to +85°C. It functions as a stable low-power reference in portable meters, battery-powered analog circuits, and precision current sources requiring minimal quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB application, or LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC-8 package, 20 μA to 20 mA operating current range, 0.6 Ω dynamic impedance, low noise (120 μV rms), and compatibility with capacitive loads up to 10 μF without instability.
Technical Context
The LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB uses on-chip trimming for tight voltage tolerance and relies solely on transistors and resistors-enabling low noise and long-term stability. Its band-gap architecture provides predictable temperature behavior across its full operating range.
It operates as a 2-terminal shunt reference, sinking current from an external resistor to maintain 2.5 V at its cathode. The device exhibits exceptionally low dynamic impedance (0.6 Ω) and wideband noise of 120 μV rms (10 Hz–10 kHz), supporting high-accuracy analog signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB?
The LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 20 μA to maintain regulation within specification. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates significantly from 2.5 V; design margins should ensure sustained current above 25 μA across all operating conditions including lowest temperature and supply voltage.
Can LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB drive a 10 μF capacitor directly?
Yes, the LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB is explicitly designed for exceptional capacitive load tolerance and remains stable with up to 10 μF output capacitance. This eliminates the need for series isolation resistors in most applications, simplifying layout and improving transient response in battery-powered reference circuits.
What is the temperature coefficient of LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB?
The LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB has a guaranteed average temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C (Grade Y). This means its output voltage drift is bounded to ±2.125 mV over the full −40°C to +85°C operating range, making it suitable for applications demanding consistent accuracy across environmental variations.
Is LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM285 variants in SOIC-8?
Yes, all LM285-xM-2.5/NOPB variants-including LM285BXM-2.5/NOPB and LM285M-2.5/NOPB-share identical SOIC-8 pinout and footprint (Package Drawing D0008A). Pin 1 is anode, Pin 2 is cathode, and Pins 3–8 are NC/thermal pad, enabling direct substitution within the same package family.
What does the 'Y' suffix indicate in LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB?
The 'Y' suffix in LM285BYM-2.5/NOPB denotes the temperature coefficient grade: 50 ppm/°C maximum. It also corresponds to ±20 mV (±0.8%) initial tolerance at 25°C. This grade is distinct from 'X' (30 ppm/°C) and standard 'B' (150 ppm/°C), offering a balanced trade-off between stability and cost for industrial applications.
