Product details
Overview
LT1009CLPM from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V shunt voltage reference in TO-92 (LP) package, featuring ±5 mV initial tolerance (0.2% max), 15 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient over 0°C to 70°C, 0.6 Ω max dynamic impedance at 1 mA, and adjustable ±5% output via ADJ pin. It serves as a stable reference for 8-bit ADCs, DACs, and power-supply monitors.
For engineers reviewing the LT1009CLPM datasheet, LT1009CLPM pinout, LT1009CLPM application, or LT1009CLPM equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 0.2% initial accuracy, no-trim operation, wide 400 µA–10 mA operating current range, and direct interchangeability with LM136-2.5 in legacy designs.
Technical Context
The LT1009CLPM implements a bandgap-derived 2.5-V reference core trimmed on-chip to minimize both initial error and temperature drift. Its three-terminal architecture (ANODE, CATHODE, ADJ) enables system-level calibration without external components while maintaining low dynamic impedance across its full operating current range.
It operates as a two-quadrant shunt regulator: sinking current when VOUT exceeds 2.5 V, and remaining inactive below that threshold. The ADJ terminal allows fine-tuning of the reference voltage by injecting current into or out of the internal node, enabling ±5% adjustment without degrading temperature stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.495 V to 2.505 V at 1 mA (LP package, 25°C); ensures ≤±2 mV absolute error in room-temperature calibration setups. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±5 mV (0.2% max) over 0°C to 70°C; eliminates need for post-assembly trimming in cost-sensitive industrial sensors. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | 15 ppm/°C typical (0°C–70°C); contributes ≤0.105 mV drift over full range, critical for 12-bit system accuracy. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA; maintains <1 mV output variation under 1 mA load transients, suitable for high-resolution data converters. |
| Adjustment Range | ±5% via ADJ pin; enables system-level correction of DAC/ADC gain errors without adding external resistors or op-amps. |
| Operating Current | 400 µA to 10 mA; supports low-power sensor nodes (e.g., 500 µA bias) and robust industrial interfaces (e.g., 5 mA drive). |
| Long-Term Drift | 20 ppm/khr at 25°C; predicts <0.2% output shift over 10 years, qualifying for medical and test equipment applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT1009CLPM uses the TO-92 (LP) package - a 3-pin through-hole plastic case (5.34 mm max height) with formed leads, optimized for manual assembly and prototyping. Pin 1 = ANODE, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ADJ. "NC" markings in D/PW packages do not apply to LP variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (ANODE) | Reference output node | Connects to system ground or low-impedance return path; defines 0 V reference for all downstream circuitry. |
| Pin 2 (CATHODE) | Current sink input | Receives bias current from series resistor; voltage at this pin equals VZ + IZ × RSERIES in standard shunt configuration. |
| Pin 3 (ADJ) | Trim control terminal | Accepts ±100 µA adjustment current to shift VZ ±5%; open-circuit default yields nominal 2.5 V output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external trim required | On-chip laser trimming achieves ±5 mV initial accuracy, reducing BOM count and eliminating potentiometer calibration steps. |
| Terminal-for-terminal LM136 replacement | Same pinout and electrical behavior as LM136-2.5, enabling drop-in upgrade in existing designs without PCB changes. |
| Wide operating current range | Functional from 400 µA to 10 mA, supporting ultra-low-power IoT sensors and high-current industrial monitoring circuits. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA ensures minimal output perturbation during fast load switching, critical for SAR ADC reference buffers. |
| Stable over temperature | 15 ppm/°C typical αVZ over 0°C–70°C guarantees <±0.105 mV drift, meeting Class II accuracy requirements per IEC 61000-4-30. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LT1009CLPM?
The LT1009CLPM supports a continuous operating current range from 400 µA to 10 mA. At 10 mA, it remains within safe thermal limits for TO-92 packaging at TA ≤ 70°C. Exceeding 10 mA risks exceeding the 150°C junction temperature limit, especially in still-air environments.
Can LT1009CLPM replace LM136-2.5 without PCB modifications?
Yes, LT1009CLPM is designed as a terminal-for-terminal replacement for LM136-2.5 in TO-92 packages. Both share identical pinout (ANODE–CATHODE–ADJ vs. ANODE–CATHODE–REF), same footprint, and compatible biasing requirements, enabling direct substitution in legacy designs.
How does the ADJ pin function in LT1009CLPM?
The ADJ pin on LT1009CLPM allows ±5% adjustment of the reference voltage by injecting or sinking up to ±100 µA. When left open, it defaults to nominal 2.5 V. This feature enables system-level correction of gain/offset errors in ADC/DAC chains without external components.
What is the temperature coefficient specification for LT1009CLPM?
The LT1009CLPM has a typical average temperature coefficient (αVZ) of 15 ppm/°C over 0°C to 70°C. This translates to a maximum reference voltage change of ±0.105 mV across the full operating range, verified per TI's SLVS013N datasheet test conditions.
Is LT1009CLPM suitable for battery-powered applications?
Yes, LT1009CLPM operates down to 400 µA quiescent current, making it suitable for battery-powered devices like portable DMMs or wireless sensors. Its low drift and no-trim design ensure stable performance over battery discharge cycles without recalibration.
