Product details
Overview
LT1004CDR-2-5 from Texas Instruments is a two-terminal micropower band-gap voltage reference IC providing 2.5 V nominal output with ±20 mV initial accuracy, 20 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 0.2 Ω typical reference impedance at 100 µA. It operates from 8 µA to 20 mA and serves as a precision low-power reference in portable instrumentation and battery-operated systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1004CDR-2-5 datasheet, LT1004CDR-2-5 pinout, LT1004CDR-2-5 application, or LT1004CDR-2-5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC-8 package, C-grade (0°C to 70°C) temperature range, micropower operation down to 8 µA, low noise (60–120 µV broadband), and compatibility with current-loop and thermocouple compensation circuits.
Technical Context
The LT1004CDR-2-5 implements a band-gap reference architecture with internal trimming for high initial accuracy and stable temperature performance. Its two-terminal configuration simplifies integration into series-shunt regulator topologies and ground-referenced current sources.
It features very low dynamic impedance (≤0.6 Ω over full temperature range) and exhibits minimal voltage shift (<20 mV) across 1 mA to 20 mA operating current, enabling stable biasing in low-noise amplifier stages and precision ADC references where supply headroom is constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.5 V nominal; ±20 mV initial tolerance ensures ≤0.8% absolute error at 25°C without trimming. |
| Tempco | 20 ppm/°C average; guarantees ≤±0.5 mV drift over 0°C to 70°C ambient range. |
| Min Operating Current | 8 µA; enables use in ultra-low-power applications such as lithium coin-cell–powered sensors. |
| Ref Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical at 100 µA; supports fast transient response and low-output-noise regulation. |
| Broadband Noise | 60–120 µV RMS (10 Hz–10 kHz); suitable for 12-bit to 14-bit data acquisition systems. |
| Long-Term Drift | 20 ppm/khr; provides predictable aging behavior for multi-year deployed instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
LT1004CDR-2-5 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with two active terminals (Anode and Cathode) and six no-connect (NC) pins. Terminals 6 and 8 are internally connected to Cathode; Pin 4 is Anode; Pin 5 is Cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 4 | Anode | Current entry point; connects to regulated supply rail or current-setting resistor in shunt configuration. |
| Pins 5, 6, 8 | Cathode | Reference output node; must be tied to system ground or virtual ground for stable 2.5 V reference generation. |
| Pins 1, 2, 3, 7 | No internal connection | Unused; may be left floating or grounded per layout best practices-no electrical impact. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-terminal topology | Eliminates need for external bias resistors or op-amps in basic shunt reference configurations. |
| Micropower operation | Functional down to 8 µA-an order of magnitude lower than standard band-gap references-enabling >10-year battery life in remote sensors. |
| Low reference impedance | 0.2 Ω typical at 100 µA minimizes load-induced voltage droop and improves PSRR in sensitive analog front-ends. |
| Pin-for-pin replacement | Direct drop-in substitute for LM285-2.5 and LM385-2.5 with improved accuracy and tempco. |
| Stable over wide current range | ΔVZ ≤ 20 mV from 1 mA to 20 mA enables consistent performance across varying load conditions in programmable current sources. |
Applications
| Portable Test Instruments | Battery-Operated Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Handheld multimeter requiring stable 2.5 V reference for 16-bit ADC conversion across 0°C–50°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal shunt voltage reference establishing precise scaling for analog input channel. Use Value: ±20 mV initial accuracy and 20 ppm/°C tempco ensure <0.1% total measurement error without factory calibration. | Use Scenario: Wireless environmental sensor node powered by 3.6 V Li-SOCl₂ battery with 10-year target lifetime. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Micropower reference for ultra-low-quiescent LDO and ADC bias network. Use Value: 8 µA minimum operating current enables continuous reference operation while consuming <0.1 µW-negligible vs. system sleep power budget. |
| Current-Loop Instrumentation | Thermocouple Cold-Junction Compensation |
Use Scenario: 4–20 mA transmitter module converting RTD readings into loop current with ±0.05% span accuracy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 2.5 V reference for DAC output scaling and current-sense amplifier gain setting. Use Value: 0.2 Ω reference impedance prevents current-source loading errors during 20 mA loop compliance testing. | Use Scenario: Industrial temperature controller using Type K thermocouple with cold-junction compensation over −20°C to 70°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable 2.5 V reference for thermistor biasing and offset correction amplifier. Use Value: Long-term drift of 20 ppm/khr ensures <0.2°C calibration drift over 5 years-meeting IEC 61511 SIL-2 requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM385BIMX-2.5 | ±30 mV initial accuracy; 50 ppm/°C tempco; 10 µA min current; SOIC-8 package. | Higher initial error and drift limit use in sub-0.2% accuracy systems; requires tighter thermal management. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision needs and long-term stability is secondary. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | ±12 mV initial accuracy; 50 ppm/°C tempco; 50 µA min current; SOT-23-3 package. | Lower initial error but higher quiescent current; 3-pin configuration requires external biasing for shunt use. | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing better initial accuracy, accepting higher power and different footprint. |
Compared with LM385BIMX-2.5 and REF3025AIDBZR, the LT1004CDR-2-5 delivers superior long-term stability (20 ppm/khr vs. 50–100 ppm/khr) and lowest operating current (8 µA), making it optimal for battery-critical, high-reliability instrumentation where calibration intervals exceed 2 years.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT1004CDR-2-5?
The LT1004CDR-2-5 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade). This range is explicitly defined in the ordering information table and confirmed in the "recommended operating conditions" section of the datasheet. It is not rated for extended industrial or automotive temperature ranges-those require the LT1004IDR-2-5 variant.
Can the LT1004CDR-2-5 replace the LM285-2.5 directly on PCB?
Yes-the LT1004CDR-2-5 is specified as a pin-for-pin replacement for the LM285 and LM385 series. Its SOIC-8 footprint matches exactly, and the internal pin mapping (Anode on Pin 4, Cathode on Pins 5/6/8) aligns with LM285-2.5's terminal assignment. No PCB changes are required for drop-in substitution.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for stable regulation in the LT1004CDR-2-5?
The LT1004CDR-2-5 requires a minimum cathode current of 8 µA to maintain regulation within specifications. This value is listed under "IZ(min)" in the electrical characteristics table and verified across the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range. Operation below this threshold risks loss of reference accuracy and increased tempco.
How does the LT1004CDR-2-5 achieve low noise performance?
The LT1004CDR-2-5 achieves 60–120 µV RMS broadband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) through optimized band-gap core design and internal filtering. Its low 0.2 Ω reference impedance suppresses current-to-voltage noise conversion, and the two-terminal architecture avoids op-amp–induced noise sources common in three-terminal references.
Is the LT1004CDR-2-5 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the LT1004CDR-2-5 is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The Package Option Addendum confirms "Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br)" eco plan with "NIPDAU" lead finish and JEDEC MSL Level-1 rating. TI's official documentation states full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for all 10 restricted substances.
