Product details
Overview
LM336D-2-5 from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V shunt voltage reference diode in an 8-pin SOIC package, featuring ±1% initial tolerance, 0.27-Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA, and specified temperature stability over 0°C to 70°C. It operates as a low-temperature-coefficient Zener-type reference with adjustable output via the ADJ pin, commonly used in digital voltmeters, 5-V logic-derived reference circuits, and op-amp biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LM336D-2-5 datasheet, LM336D-2-5 pinout, LM336D-2-5 application, or LM336D-2-5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its trimmable temperature coefficient, 400 µA to 10 mA operating current range, fast turn-on response, and compatibility with both positive and negative reference configurations in precision analog systems.
Technical Context
The LM336D-2-5 implements a bandgap-derived 2.5-V reference core with internal trimming capability via the ADJ terminal, enabling minimization of temperature drift across its 0°C to 70°C operating range. Its three-terminal architecture separates cathode, anode, and adjustment functions-unlike two-terminal Zeners-allowing precise calibration of both output voltage and thermal coefficient.
It delivers stable regulation under varying load conditions due to low 0.27-Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA and maintains long-term stability with ≤20 ppm/khr drift. The device supports bidirectional reference use (positive or negative polarity) and integrates internal circuitry for fast turn-on and low-noise operation up to 10 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.49 V nominal at 1 mA; enables accurate 2.5-V generation from 5-V supplies with ±1% initial accuracy. |

Pinout & Package
LM336D-2-5 uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27-mm lead pitch and 1.75-mm maximum height. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or beveled corner; pins 1–4 and 5–8 are on opposite sides of the body. The device has three active terminals (CATHODE, ANODE, ADJ); pins 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 are NC (no internal connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CATHODE (Pin 4) | Output reference node | Provides regulated 2.5-V output; connects to load or op-amp input; sinks current during regulation. |
| ANODE (Pin 8) | Return path | Serves as reference ground or negative rail connection; required for proper shunt operation. |
| ADJ (Pin 3) | Trim control | Allows external resistor network to adjust reference voltage and minimize temperature coefficient. |
| Pins 1,2,5,6,7 | No internal connection | Must remain unconnected; no routing or grounding required on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable temperature coefficient | Enables user trimming to achieve <10 ppm/°C drift in critical metrology applications. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.27 Ω ensures <0.1 mV output shift per 1 mA load change-critical for high-resolution DAC references. |
| Bidirectional reference capability | Supports both positive and negative voltage reference topologies without component rework. |
| Fast turn-on time | Stabilizes within microseconds-essential for power-supply sequencing and wake-up circuits. |
| Wide operating current range | 400 µA minimum enables ultra-low-power IoT sensor nodes; 10 mA max supports driving multiple op-amps. |
Applications
| Digital Voltmeter Reference | 5-V Logic-Derived Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDR | 2.5-V adjustable shunt regulator; higher 0.2-Ω typical impedance; requires external resistors for 2.5-V setpoint; no dedicated ADJ pin for tempco trimming. | Lacks integrated tempco adjustment; suited for cost-sensitive power supply feedback-not metrology-grade references. | Select TL431ACDR only when absolute temperature stability is secondary to BOM consolidation and cost. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5-V series reference; 3.3-V min input; 50-µA quiescent current; 75 ppm/°C tempco; no trimming capability. | Requires higher headroom voltage; unsuitable for low-voltage or bidirectional reference use; fixed tempco limits high-precision calibration. | Choose REF3025AIDBZR only if system design permits series topology and tolerates higher supply overhead. |
Compared with TL431ACDR and REF3025AIDBZR, the LM336D-2-5 uniquely combines trimmable temperature coefficient, bidirectional operation, and sub-1-mV load regulation in a shunt topology-making it irreplaceable in portable calibration equipment and multi-rail instrumentation where layout flexibility and long-term stability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM336D-2-5?
The LM336D-2-5 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, matching the LM336-2.5 grade specification. This range is validated per TI's SLVS063E datasheet and applies specifically to the SOIC-packaged LM336D-2-5 variant-not the wider-range LM236-2.5 or LM336B-2.5 versions. Operation outside this range may result in unguaranteed performance or accelerated aging.
Can LM336D-2-5 be used as a negative voltage reference?
Yes, LM336D-2-5 supports bidirectional reference use: connecting the ANODE to a negative rail and CATHODE to signal ground creates a −2.5-V reference. This configuration is explicitly supported in TI's application diagrams (e.g., Figure 5), and the internal circuitry is designed for symmetrical operation-unlike standard Zener diodes which lack controlled reverse conduction characteristics.
How do I trim the temperature coefficient of LM336D-2-5?
Trim the temperature coefficient of LM336D-2-5 using the ADJ pin (Pin 3) with a two-resistor network between CATHODE and ANODE, as shown in TI's Figure 5. Adjust the 2.49-kΩ resistor while monitoring output vs. temperature until drift is minimized. The ADJ terminal provides direct access to the internal bandgap core's bias node, enabling fine tempco correction without altering reference voltage setpoint.
What is the minimum operating current for LM336D-2-5?
The minimum recommended operating current for LM336D-2-5 is 400 µA, as specified in the "Wide Operating Current" feature and confirmed in electrical characteristics tables. Below this level, regulation degrades-dynamic impedance rises above 1 Ω, and temperature stability falls outside guaranteed limits. For battery-powered designs, ensure current remains ≥400 µA across all operating conditions.
Is LM336D-2-5 RoHS compliant?
Yes, LM336D-2-5 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum: "RoHS: Yes" with NIPDAU lead finish and Level-1 MSL rating. This compliance applies to all production lots shipped after October 2003 per TI's revision history, and the device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements without exemptions.
