Product details
Overview
LT1004IPWR-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 0.2–0.6 Ω reference impedance at 100 µA. It operates from 8 µA to 20 mA and supports battery-operated instrumentation requiring stable low-power biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LT1004IPWR-2-5 datasheet, LT1004IPWR-2-5 pinout, LT1004IPWR-2-5 application, or LT1004IPWR-2-5 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, TSSOP-8 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in current-loop transmitters and portable test gear, and validated alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The LT1004IPWR-2-5 implements a precision band-gap core with internal trimming to achieve tight initial tolerance and low thermal drift. Its two-terminal architecture eliminates external resistors, enabling direct replacement of LM385-2.5 in existing designs while improving accuracy and long-term stability.
Designed for industrial-grade operation (−40°C to +85°C), it features ultra-low quiescent current (8–12 µA minimum), sub-1 mV load regulation error over 1–20 mA, and broadband noise of 60–120 µV RMS (10 Hz–10 kHz). Its low reference impedance ensures minimal output perturbation under dynamic load conditions.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise (60–120 µV RMS), low-drift reference for DAC VREF input. Use Value: Sub-100 µV broadband noise avoids quantization uncertainty; 20 ppm/°C drift limits full-scale error to <0.025% over operating temperature. |
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, 100 ppm/°C tempco, 10 µA min current, SOIC-8 only | Higher drift and looser initial tolerance limit use in high-accuracy portable instruments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements and SOIC-8 is preferred over TSSOP-8 |
| REF3025AIDBVR | ±2 mV initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C tempco, 50 µA min current, 1.2 V dropout at 25 mA | Three-terminal architecture requires external resistor; higher quiescent current precludes ultra-low-power use | Choose for highest initial accuracy where board space allows extra components and power budget permits >50 µA |
Compared with LM385BIMX-2.5, LT1004IPWR-2-5 offers tighter initial tolerance and lower thermal drift; compared with REF3025AIDBVR, it achieves micropower operation and two-terminal simplicity at the expense of absolute accuracy-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for LT1004IPWR-2-5?
The LT1004IPWR-2-5 requires a minimum reference current of 8–12 µA across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This ultra-low threshold enables reliable startup and regulation from weak bias sources such as high-value resistors or leakage-limited circuits, making LT1004IPWR-2-5 ideal for energy-harvesting and multi-year battery applications.
Is LT1004IPWR-2-5 pin-compatible with LM385-2.5?
Yes, LT1004IPWR-2-5 is explicitly specified as a pin-for-pin replacement for the LM385 series, including LM385-2.5. Both devices use identical TSSOP-8 pinouts with Anode on Pin 1 and Cathode on Pins 2 and 5. No PCB modifications are needed-only the improved electrical specs (tighter initial accuracy, lower tempco, reduced impedance) require verification in the target circuit.
What is the reference impedance of LT1004IPWR-2-5 at 100 µA?
At 100 µA reference current and 25°C, the LT1004IPWR-2-5 exhibits a reference impedance of 0.2–0.6 Ω. Over the full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), this increases to ≤1.5 Ω. This low impedance ensures minimal output voltage shift (<1 mV) under load current steps, critical for precision ADC references and op-amp feedback networks.
Can LT1004IPWR-2-5 be used in a 1.5 V battery-powered system?
Yes-LT1004IPWR-2-5 can operate from a 1.5 V battery when configured as a shunt reference with appropriate current limiting. Figure 26 in the datasheet demonstrates a working 1.2 V reference derived from a 1.5 V alkaline cell using LT1004-1.2; similarly, LT1004IPWR-2-5 functions reliably down to ~1.8 V forward voltage with proper external resistor selection to maintain ≥8 µA bias current.
What is the long-term stability of LT1004IPWR-2-5?
The LT1004IPWR-2-5 exhibits a long-term output voltage drift of 20 ppm/khr (≈0.175% per year) when operated continuously at 25°C with 100 µA bias current. This value is measured under controlled conditions and reflects typical aging behavior; actual field performance may vary based on thermal cycling, voltage stress, and packaging integrity over time.
