Product details

Overview

LM285M-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, 0.6 Ω dynamic impedance, and operation over 20 μA–20 mA current range. It serves as a stable reference in portable meters, battery-powered analog circuits, and low-power regulators where long shelf-life battery operation is critical.

For engineers reviewing the LM285M-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM285M-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM285M-2.5/NOPB application, or LM285M-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, SOIC-8 package compatibility, low 150 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (standard grade), and verified performance under capacitive loading without instability.

Technical Context

The LM285M-2.5/NOPB implements a two-terminal band-gap architecture using only transistors and resistors-enabling low noise, excellent long-term stability (20 ppm after 1000 hours), and immunity to capacitive loading effects. Its on-chip trimming ensures tight initial voltage accuracy without external calibration.

It operates as a shunt reference: reverse-biased across a current-setting resistor, regulating voltage by sinking variable current while maintaining 2.5 V across its terminals. The SOIC-8 package supports surface-mount assembly with JEDEC MS-012 compliance and Level-1 MSL rating for lead-free reflow.

Key Specifications

Parameter Value and Actual Design Meaning
Reference Voltage 2.500 V ±20 mV at 25°C - ensures precision ADC/DAC biasing and sensor excitation within 0.8% error budget
Operating Current Range 20 μA to 20 mA - enables use from ultra-low-power IoT sensors to higher-current analog front-ends without redesign
Dynamic Impedance 0.6 Ω at 100 μA - minimizes output voltage shift under load transients, critical for high-resolution measurement systems
Temperature Coefficient 150 ppm/°C (standard grade) - limits drift to ±12.5 mV over −40°C to +85°C, suitable for industrial-grade instrumentation
Wideband Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) 120 μVrms - preserves signal integrity in low-noise amplifiers and precision data acquisition
Long-Term Stability 20 ppm after 1000 hours - reduces recalibration frequency in field-deployed test equipment and medical devices

Pinout & Package

LM285M-2.5/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (Package Drawing D0008A) with standard JEDEC MS-012, 1.75 mm max height, and RoHS-compliant matte tin (Sn) lead finish. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or beveled corner; pins are numbered counterclockwise from pin 1.

Pin/Terminal Circuit Role Design Meaning
Pin 1 Anode (Input) Connects to current-setting resistor; reverse-biased terminal sourcing current into device
Pin 2 Cathode (Output) Provides regulated 2.5 V reference; connects to load and feedback node of regulator or ADC reference input
Pins 3–8 No Connect / Thermal Pad Internally unconnected; electrically isolated but thermally coupled to die for improved thermal dissipation in SOIC-8

Key Features

Feature Design Value
Capacitive Load Tolerance Stable with unlimited capacitive loading - eliminates need for series isolation resistor in battery-monitoring circuits
Micropower Operation 20 μA minimum operating current - extends battery life in portable multimeters and handheld calibrators beyond shelf life
Hermetic Alternative Available LM285BXZ-2.5/NOPB (TO-92) offers same electrical specs with through-hole reliability for harsh environments
Low Dynamic Impedance 0.6 Ω at 100 μA - maintains regulation during fast load steps in precision DAC buffers and sensor signal chains

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.

Alternative Part Technical Difference Application Difference Selection Advice
LM385M-2.5/NOPB Same 2.5 V reference, but rated for 0°C to 70°C only; identical SOIC-8 package and pinout Suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics, not industrial or extended-temperature designs Select when ambient operating temperature remains within 0–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs temperature margin
LM285Z-2.5/NOPB Same electrical specs, TO-92 package (3-pin), through-hole mounting, −40°C to +85°C rating Preferred for prototyping, repair, or legacy PCBs requiring axial-leaded components Choose for manual assembly, thermal mass requirements, or compatibility with existing TO-92 footprints

Compared with LM385M-2.5/NOPB, LM285M-2.5/NOPB provides broader industrial temperature coverage; compared with LM285Z-2.5/NOPB, it offers superior board-level density and automated assembly compatibility while retaining identical electrical behavior.

FAQ

What is the maximum reverse current rating for LM285M-2.5/NOPB?

The absolute maximum reverse current for LM285M-2.5/NOPB is 30 mA. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage. For reliable operation, maintain current within the specified 20 μA–20 mA functional range, with typical design margins keeping peak current below 15 mA to ensure thermal safety in SOIC-8 packaging.

Does LM285M-2.5/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?

No, LM285M-2.5/NOPB is explicitly designed to be stable with unlimited capacitive loading-no external capacitor is required. This eliminates phase-margin concerns and simplifies layout in space-constrained applications like handheld test equipment and wearable sensors where LM285M-2.5/NOPB is commonly deployed.

Can LM285M-2.5/NOPB be used as a 1.2 V reference?

No, LM285M-2.5/NOPB is a fixed 2.5 V reference only. For 1.2 V operation, TI offers the LM185-1.2 series (e.g., LM185M-1.2/NOPB), which shares the same micropower architecture and SOIC-8 package but is trimmed to 1.2 V nominal output. Substituting LM285M-2.5/NOPB for 1.2 V will result in incorrect system biasing.

What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LM285M-2.5/NOPB in SOIC-8 package?

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for LM285M-2.5/NOPB in SOIC-8 package is 165°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (2s2 pad, 1 oz copper). At 20 mA operating current and 2.5 V drop, power dissipation is 50 mW, resulting in ~8.3°C junction rise above ambient-well within safe limits for −40°C to +85°C operation.

Is LM285M-2.5/NOPB pin-compatible with LM385M-2.5/NOPB?

Yes, LM285M-2.5/NOPB and LM385M-2.5/NOPB share identical SOIC-8 package (D0008A), pinout, and terminal functions. However, they differ in temperature rating: LM285M-2.5/NOPB operates from −40°C to +85°C, while LM385M-2.5/NOPB is limited to 0°C to +70°C. Electrical specs are otherwise matched per datasheet tables.
