Product details
Overview
LT1009CDR from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V shunt voltage reference IC in SOIC-8 package, featuring ±10 mV initial tolerance (±0.4%), 15 ppm/°C max average temperature coefficient over 0°C to 70°C, 0.6 Ω max dynamic impedance at 1 mA, and adjustable output via ADJ pin (±5% range). It serves as a stable reference in 8-bit ADC/DAC circuits, power-supply monitors, and digital voltmeters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1009CDR datasheet, LT1009CDR pinout, LT1009CDR application, or LT1009CDR equivalent, key selection considerations include its shunt topology, SOIC-8 thermal performance (θJA = 97°C/W), adjustment capability without external trim network, and direct interchangeability with LM136-2.5 in many designs.
Technical Context
The LT1009CDR operates as a two-terminal shunt reference with three-terminal adjustment capability: anode connects to system ground, cathode sinks current to set reference voltage, and ADJ enables ±5% fine-tuning of VZ by injecting current. Its on-chip trimming achieves low initial error and minimizes αVZ, eliminating need for external compensation.
It delivers stable 2.5 V output across 400 µA–10 mA cathode current, maintains <1.4 Ω dynamic impedance up to full operating temperature range, and exhibits 20 ppm/khr long-term stability at 25°C - all while requiring no external components for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.49 V to 2.51 V at IZ = 1 mA (D/PW package); ensures ≤±0.4% accuracy in mid-range current conditions |
| Initial Tolerance | ±10 mV max (±0.4%) at 25°C; enables high-accuracy system calibration without post-manufacture trimming |
| Temp Coefficient | 15 ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C); guarantees ≤±1.05 mV drift across industrial ambient range |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA; provides low noise and high PSRR in sensitive analog measurement paths |
| Adjustment Range | ±5% via ADJ pin; allows system-level error correction without adding external resistors or potentiometers |
| Operating Current | 400 µA to 10 mA cathode current; supports low-power sensor interfaces and high-current reference buffering |
| Long-Term Drift | 20 ppm/khr at 25°C; ensures <±0.05% output shift over 10 years in typical use |
Pinout & Package
LT1009CDR uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.75 mm maximum height, 330 mm reel diameter, and JEDEC MS-012 compliant footprint. Pin 1 is located in quadrant Q1 per tape orientation standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 6 | No internal connection (NC) | Electrically isolated; must remain unconnected or tied to ground only if required for mechanical stability |
| 4 | Anode | Connects to system ground; defines reference return path and establishes shunt topology |
| 5, 7 | Cathode | Current-sinking node; sets reference voltage at external node when combined with series resistor |
| 8 | ADJ | Enables ±5% output adjustment via injected current; open-circuit default yields nominal 2.5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip trimming | Eliminates need for external calibration components and reduces board space vs. discrete Zener+op-amp solutions |
| Terminal-for-terminal LM136-2.5 replacement | Reduces redesign effort in legacy systems upgrading from LM136 while maintaining same PCB layout |
| No external components required | Operates as standalone 2.5-V reference with only one series resistor - simplifies BOM and improves reliability |
| Wide cathode current range | Supports both ultra-low-power (400 µA) sensing nodes and higher-drive (10 mA) buffer stages without derating |
| Low dynamic impedance | Minimizes AC error coupling in mixed-signal systems where reference shares supply with switching regulators |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM136-2.5 | Same 2.5-V nominal output but ±1% initial tolerance (25 mV), no ADJ pin, higher 10 Ω dynamic impedance | Lacks adjustment capability; requires external trim network for system-level calibration | Select LM136-2.5 only when cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy and adjustability requirements |
| TL431ACDR | Programmable 2.495 V reference with 2% initial tolerance, 0.2 Ω typical impedance, but requires external resistive divider for 2.5 V | Needs two external resistors to set 2.5 V; introduces additional error sources and layout sensitivity | Choose TL431ACDR when flexibility to reconfigure reference voltage is prioritized over guaranteed 2.5 V accuracy |
Compared with LM136-2.5, LT1009CDR offers 25× tighter initial tolerance and integrated adjustment; compared with TL431ACDR, it delivers factory-trimmed 2.5 V without external components - making it optimal for fixed-accuracy, low-component-count applications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT1009CDR?
The LT1009CDR is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This commercial-grade specification aligns with its "C" suffix designation and ensures guaranteed performance - including ±10 mV initial tolerance and 15 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient - across that full ambient range. Operation outside this range may result in parametric degradation not covered by datasheet limits.
Can the LT1009CDR replace the LM136-2.5 without PCB changes?
Yes, the LT1009CDR is explicitly designed as a terminal-for-terminal replacement for the LM136-2.5 in SOIC-8 packages. Both share identical pinout (anode, cathode, NCs), same package dimensions, and compatible biasing requirements - allowing drop-in substitution without layout modification. However, the LT1009CDR adds an ADJ pin (pin 8) that must remain open or grounded per application needs.
How does the ADJ pin on the LT1009CDR function?
The ADJ pin (pin 8) on the LT1009CDR enables ±5% adjustment of the reference voltage by injecting or sinking current. With ADJ open, LT1009CDR delivers nominal 2.5 V. Applying current into ADJ raises VZ; sinking current lowers it - all while preserving low dynamic impedance and temperature stability. No external resistors are needed for basic adjustment.
What is the maximum cathode current rating for the LT1009CDR?
The LT1009CDR supports a cathode current range of 400 µA to 10 mA under recommended operating conditions. At 10 mA, power dissipation reaches ~25 mW in typical configurations. Thermal design must account for θJA = 97°C/W; junction temperature must remain below 150°C, especially at elevated ambient temperatures.
Does the LT1009CDR require external capacitors for stability?
No, the LT1009CDR is internally compensated and does not require external capacitors for stability in standard shunt configurations. Its low dynamic impedance (0.6 Ω max) and wide bandwidth allow direct use with resistive dividers or op-amp buffers. Capacitors may be added for noise filtering in high-EMI environments, but they are not mandatory for loop stability.
