Product details
Overview
LM285BYMX-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 max temperature coefficient, and operation over −40°C to +85°C. It functions as a stable reference in portable meters, battery-powered regulators, and precision analog circuits requiring low quiescent current (20 μA min) and low dynamic impedance (≤2.5 Ω).
For engineers reviewing the LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB application, or LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include operating current range (20 μA–20 mA), reverse dynamic impedance, long-term stability (20 ppm), noise performance (120 μV rms), and SOIC-8 package compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly.
Technical Context
The LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB uses a band-gap core architecture trimmed on-chip for tight voltage accuracy and exhibits low sensitivity to capacitive loading-enabling stable operation without external compensation. Its two-terminal configuration simplifies design while maintaining regulation across wide supply variations.
It achieves micropower operation via optimized transistor-resistor topology, yielding low noise (120 μV rms, 10 Hz–10 kHz) and excellent long-term stability (20 ppm after 1000 hours). The device's thermal performance is characterized by θJA = 165°C/W in SOIC-8, supporting reliable operation in industrial ambient conditions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB | Tighter initial tolerance (±15 mV vs. ±20 mV); same tempco (50 ppm/°C), SOIC-8 package | Better accuracy-critical applications (e.g., medical sensor front-end) where 0.1% absolute error is mandatory | Select when initial accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity; otherwise LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB offers optimal balance |
| REF3025AIDBZR | Lower tempco (50 ppm/°C same), lower noise (45 μV rms), but higher min current (50 μA) and SOT-23-3 package | Space-constrained PCBs where SOIC-8 footprint is prohibitive; trade-off is reduced current efficiency | Choose for ultra-low-noise or space-limited designs; LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB preferred for legacy SOIC layouts and micropower priority |
Compared with LM285BXMX-2.5/NOPB, the LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB trades 5 mV initial tolerance for broader production yield and cost efficiency, while versus REF3025AIDBZR it retains SOIC-8 compatibility and superior micropower capability below 50 μA-critical for energy-harvesting systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB?
The LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade range supports deployment in outdoor sensors, factory-floor transmitters, and automotive cabin electronics where ambient temperatures fluctuate widely. Junction temperature must remain ≤125°C under actual operating conditions, per thermal characteristics in the datasheet.
Does LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB is specifically designed to be exceptionally tolerant of capacitive loading and remains stable with output capacitance up to 10 μF. A 1 μF ceramic capacitor is recommended at the cathode (Pin 2) to suppress high-frequency noise, but no series isolation resistor or complex compensation network is needed-simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
What is the minimum operating current for LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB?
The LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB has a minimum operating current of 20 μA, verified across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range. This enables use in ultra-low-power applications such as wake-on-event sensor nodes, where the reference remains active during deep sleep while consuming less than 50 nW from a 2.5 V rail.
Can LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB replace LM385-2.5-N in existing designs?
Yes, LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB can replace LM385-2.5-N in SOIC-8 layouts, provided the operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C vs. 0°C to +70°C) and initial tolerance (±20 mV vs. ±20 mV for LM385BY) meet system requirements. Electrical specs are functionally identical; however, verify thermal dissipation margins since θJA differs (165°C/W vs. 180°C/W).
Is LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB pin-compatible with other SOIC-8 voltage references?
LM285BYMX-2.5/NOPB uses a 2-terminal configuration (Anode/Cathode), so only Pins 1 and 2 are functional; the remaining six pins are NC/thermal pad. It is not pin-compatible with 3-terminal references (e.g., REF3025) or shunt references with different pinouts. Always confirm terminal mapping using the SOIC-8 D0008A drawing before board reuse.
