Product details
Overview
LM336DT from STMicroelectronics is a precision 2.5V shunt voltage reference IC in SO-8 package, featuring 0.2Ω dynamic impedance, ±3mV typical voltage tolerance at 1mA, and guaranteed temperature stability over 0°C to +70°C. It operates as an adjustable Zener-like reference with dedicated ADJ pin for fine-tuning breakdown voltage and temperature coefficient, used in precision analog front-ends and calibration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM336DT datasheet, LM336DT pinout, LM336DT application, or LM336DT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.2Ω dynamic impedance, 400µA–10mA operating current range, 2.49V nominal reference voltage, and SO-8 package compatibility with automated PCB assembly and thermal management requirements.
Technical Context
The LM336DT implements a monolithic bandgap-derived shunt reference architecture with three-terminal configuration (V+, V−, ADJ), enabling external adjustment of both output voltage and temperature coefficient without altering core biasing. Its low 0.2Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal load regulation error across 400µA–10mA current range.
Unlike fixed Zeners, it delivers stable 2.49V reference at 1mA with ≤3mV deviation over temperature and supports series connection for improved TC cancellation. The ADJ terminal allows trimming via potentiometer while preserving long-term stability of 20ppm typical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.49V nominal at 1mA; enables accurate 2.5V system-level biasing with <±3mV initial tolerance |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2Ω typical; minimizes output voltage shift under varying load current (e.g., <0.2mV change per 1mA load variation) |
| Operating Current | 400µA to 10mA; supports low-power sensor interfaces and high-current DAC references without external buffering |
| Temp. Stability | ≤6mV over 0°C to +70°C; ensures <25ppm/°C drift for industrial-grade measurement accuracy |
| Long-Term Stability | 20ppm typical; maintains calibration integrity over years in unattended instrumentation |
| Adjustment Capability | Dedicated ADJ pin enables ±5% reference voltage tuning while preserving temperature coefficient optimization |
Pinout & Package
LM336DT is housed in an SO-8 plastic micropackage compliant with ECOPACK® environmental standards and JEDEC JESD97 marking. Pin assignments are validated per STMicroelectronics' official mechanical drawing (Ref: SO-8, Rev 3, May 2007).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to ground only if required by board layout EMI mitigation |
| 4 | V− (Cathode) | Reference output node; sinks current to establish 2.49V potential relative to ADJ or V+ |
| 5 | ADJ (Adjust) | External trim point for setting reference voltage and minimizing temperature coefficient via resistor divider |
| 8 | V+ (Anode) | Positive supply return; completes shunt path and defines current source reference for internal bandgap circuit |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three-terminal adjustability | Independent control of output voltage and temperature coefficient using single external potentiometer |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.2Ω ensures <0.2mV load regulation error across full 400µA–10mA operating range |
| Wide current compliance | Stable operation from microamp-level sensor biasing up to 10mA DAC reference loads |
| Optimized TC cancellation | Series connection of two units achieves <1ppm/°C effective drift when trimmed to 2.49V |

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 | 2.495V nominal, 0.22Ω impedance, but requires minimum 1mA cathode current and lacks ADJ pin for TC tuning | Fixed-reference use only; unsuitable for temperature-coefficient optimization or wide-range voltage adjustment | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for TC trimming and long-term stability is secondary |
| REF5025IDR | 2.5V ultra-low noise (3µVpp), 0.05Ω impedance, but consumes 1.1mA quiescent current and requires external buffer for >1mA loads | High-precision metrology where noise dominates error budget; not optimized for simple shunt regulator topology | Select when sub-ppm noise and <0.1ppm/°C drift are mandatory, accepting higher BOM count and power |
Compared with TL431ACDR and REF5025IDR, the LM336DT uniquely balances adjustability, low impedance, and SO-8 manufacturability-enabling TC-optimized references without added components or layout complexity.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for stable regulation?
The LM336DT maintains regulation down to 400µA, verified per ST's Electrical Characteristics Table 2. Below this, reference voltage deviates beyond ±10mV and dynamic impedance rises sharply. For reliable 2.49V output with <±3mV error, design for ≥1mA operating current.
Can the ADJ pin be left unconnected?
No. Leaving the ADJ pin floating causes unpredictable reference voltage and temperature coefficient. ST specifies connecting ADJ to V− through a resistor divider or potentiometer. Open-circuit ADJ results in unstable output and violates Absolute Maximum Ratings for terminal biasing.
Is the SO-8 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The LM336DT uses ST's ECOPACK®-compliant SO-8 package with lead-free second-level interconnect, marked per JEDEC JESD97. Full compliance documentation-including Pb-free status, halogen-free materials, and reflow profile-is available in ST's Package Information section (Rev 3, p.10–11).
How does LM336DT compare to LM336Z in performance?
The LM336DT (SO-8) and LM336Z (TO-92) share identical electrical specs but differ in thermal resistance and layout integration. SO-8 offers 2× lower θJA (125°C/W vs. 250°C/W), enabling tighter temperature stability in dense layouts, while TO-92 suits prototyping and through-hole designs where thermal mass aids drift reduction.
