Product details
Overview
LT1004CPWR-2-5 from Texas Instruments is a two-terminal micropower band-gap voltage reference IC delivering 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 reference in battery-powered instrumentation and current-loop transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1004CPWR-2-5 datasheet, LT1004CPWR-2-5 pinout, LT1004CPWR-2-5 application, or LT1004CPWR-2-5 equivalent, key selection criteria include low quiescent current (≤10 µA), stable 2.5 V output over 0°C–70°C, TSSOP-8 package compatibility, and direct replacement capability for LM385-2.5 in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT1004CPWR-2-5 implements a band-gap reference architecture with internal trimming to achieve tight initial voltage tolerance and low thermal drift. Its two-terminal configuration simplifies PCB layout by eliminating separate supply and ground pins, while the internal circuitry maintains regulation across a wide reverse current range (8 µA to 20 mA).
Designed for ultra-low-power operation, it delivers 2.5 V reference voltage with 60 µV broadband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) and exhibits <20 mV total voltage change over full operating current (1 mA to 20 mA) and temperature (0°C to 70°C). The device supports both reverse-biased (zener-mode) and forward-biased operation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT1004CPWR-2-5?
The LT1004CPWR-2-5 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is explicitly defined in the ordering information table and electrical characteristics section of the TI datasheet SLVS022M. The "C" suffix in the part number denotes this grade, distinguishing it from the industrial-grade "I" variant rated for −40°C to 85°C. Operation outside 0°C–70°C may result in unguaranteed performance.
Can the LT1004CPWR-2-5 replace the LM385-2.5 directly on a PCB?
Yes, the LT1004CPWR-2-5 is specified by Texas Instruments as a pin-for-pin replacement for the LM385 and LM285 series, including LM385-2.5. Both devices use identical TSSOP-8 pinouts with Anode and Cathode on the same positions (Pin 1 and Pin 8 respectively), and NC pins match. No PCB modifications are needed, and the LT1004CPWR-2-5 provides improved specifications including tighter initial accuracy and lower temperature coefficient.
What is the minimum operating current for the LT1004CPWR-2-5?
The LT1004CPWR-2-5 has a minimum reference current (IZ(min)) of 8 µA over its full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the datasheet. Below 8 µA, regulation is not guaranteed, and output voltage may deviate significantly from 2.5 V. For reliable startup and stability, design target currents ≥10 µA.
Does the LT1004CPWR-2-5 require external capacitors for stability?
No, the LT1004CPWR-2-5 does not require external capacitors for basic DC stability. Its two-terminal band-gap architecture is inherently stable with resistive loads. However, a 100 pF capacitor is recommended across the anode–cathode terminals in noise-sensitive applications (e.g., high-resolution ADC references) to reduce broadband noise, as shown in Figure 19 of the datasheet. Larger capacitors may cause instability during transient load steps.
How does the reference impedance of the LT1004CPWR-2-5 affect load regulation?
The LT1004CPWR-2-5 has a typical reference impedance (ZZ) of 0.2 Ω at 100 µA, rising to 1.5 Ω over full temperature range. This low impedance means that a 1 mA load current change induces only ~0.2 mV output shift (ΔV = I × ZZ). As confirmed in the datasheet's "Change in reference voltage with current" spec (≤10 mV from 1 mA to 20 mA), this ensures excellent load regulation in precision analog circuits without active buffering.
