Product details
Overview
LT1009CLPR from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V shunt voltage reference in TO-92 (LP) package, featuring ±5 mV initial tolerance (0.2%), 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 in 8-bit ADC/DAC circuits, power-supply monitors, and digital voltmeters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1009CLPR datasheet, LT1009CLPR pinout, LT1009CLPR application, or LT1009CLPR equivalent, key selection considerations include its TO-92 thermal resistance (140 °C/W), no-trim operation with optional adjustment, compatibility with LM136-2.5, and specified performance across 400 µA–10 mA cathode current range.
Technical Context
The LT1009CLPR operates as a two-terminal shunt reference with a third ADJ terminal enabling ±5% output voltage trimming without degrading temperature coefficient. Its internal architecture uses on-chip laser trimming to achieve tight initial tolerance and low αVZ, eliminating external trim networks in most designs.
It functions within a reverse current range of 400 µA to 10 mA, maintains stable 2.5 V output under varying load and temperature, and delivers low noise (25 nV/√Hz at 10 Hz) and low dynamic impedance (≤0.6 Ω at 1 mA) critical for high-resolution data conversion systems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM136-2.5 | Wider initial tolerance (±1%), higher tempco (30 ppm/°C), no ADJ pin | Lacks programmable adjustment; requires external trim network for high-accuracy use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements and board space permits trim components |
| TL431ACLP | 2.495 V nominal, ±1% initial tolerance, 50 ppm/°C tempco, adjustable via resistive divider | Higher dynamic impedance (0.2 Ω typical but not guaranteed max), wider supply range (2.5–36 V) | Choose for higher-voltage shunt regulation or where tighter cost control is needed despite reduced stability |
Compared with LM136-2.5 and TL431ACLP, the LT1009CLPR delivers superior initial accuracy and temperature stability in a fixed-pinout TO-92 package, making it optimal for metrology-grade 8-bit systems where long-term drift and thermal error must be minimized without added components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT1009CLPR?
The LT1009CLPR is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This commercial-grade specification ensures guaranteed performance across standard industrial ambient conditions, with parameters such as reference voltage, temperature coefficient, and dynamic impedance validated within this range per the TI SLVS013N datasheet.
Can the LT1009CLPR replace the LM136-2.5 without circuit modifications?
Yes, the LT1009CLPR is explicitly designed as a terminal-for-terminal replacement for the LM136-2.5 in TO-92 packages. Its identical pinout (ANODE, CATHODE, ADJ), compatible voltage range, and improved specs allow direct substitution-eliminating the need for external trim components while enhancing accuracy and stability in the LT1009CLPR.
What is the purpose of the ADJ pin on the LT1009CLPR?
The ADJ pin on the LT1009CLPR enables ±5% adjustment of the reference voltage using an external resistor divider. When left open, the device delivers its nominal 2.5 V output; connecting ADJ to a voltage divider allows fine-tuning to correct system-level errors-without affecting the temperature coefficient or requiring recalibration of the entire circuit.
What is the minimum and maximum cathode current for stable operation of the LT1009CLPR?
The LT1009CLPR operates stably with cathode current from 400 µA to 10 mA. Below 400 µA, regulation degrades; above 10 mA, power dissipation exceeds safe limits in the TO-92 package. The 1 mA test condition used in key specs (e.g., 0.6 Ω dynamic impedance) falls well within this validated operating window.
How does the LT1009CLPR achieve its low temperature coefficient?
The LT1009CLPR achieves its 15 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient through on-chip laser trimming of internal resistors and active elements during manufacturing. This process minimizes both initial voltage error and its variation over temperature-ensuring the LT1009CLPR meets its specified αVZ without external compensation or post-assembly adjustment.
