Product details
Overview
LT1009CPWR from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V shunt voltage reference IC in an 8-pin TSSOP package, featuring ±10 mV initial tolerance (±0.4%), 0.6 Ω max dynamic impedance at 1 mA, and ±5% adjustable output via ADJ pin. It operates from 0°C to 70°C and serves as a stable reference for ADCs, DACs, and power-supply monitors.
For engineers reviewing the LT1009CPWR datasheet, LT1009CPWR pinout, LT1009CPWR application, or LT1009CPWR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and trimming behavior, and real-world use cases - all aligned with TI's SLVS013N revision May 2009 specification.
Technical Context
The LT1009CPWR implements a bandgap-based shunt reference architecture with on-chip laser trimming to minimize both initial error and temperature coefficient (αVZ). Its three-terminal configuration (ANODE, CATHODE, ADJ) enables system-level calibration without external components.
It delivers stable 2.5 V output across 400 µA–10 mA cathode current, with full-range temperature drift limited to 15 mV (0°C–70°C) and average αVZ of 15 ppm/°C. Dynamic impedance remains ≤0.6 Ω at 1 mA, supporting low-noise, high-PSRR applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.49 V to 2.51 V at 1 mA (D/PW package); ensures ≤±0.4% accuracy for 8-bit converter references. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±10 mV max (±0.4%) at 25°C; eliminates need for external trimming in cost-sensitive systems. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA; maintains tight regulation under fast load transients in precision analog circuits. |
| Temp. Coefficient | 15 ppm/°C typical (0°C–70°C); enables stable performance in industrial ambient without compensation. |
| Adjustment Range | ±5% via ADJ pin; allows fine-tuning to cancel system gain/offset errors without redesigning feedback networks. |
| Operating Current | 400 µA to 10 mA cathode current; supports ultra-low-power sensor interfaces and high-current reference buffers. |
| Long-Term Drift | 20 ppm/khr at 25°C; ensures reference stability over years in deployed instrumentation and metering equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LT1009CPWR uses an 8-pin TSSOP (PW) package, 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm height, RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner (quadrant Q1), with no internal connection on pins 1–3 and 6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 6 | No internal connection (NC) | Unused pins; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice - no routing required. |
| 4 | Anode | Connects to system ground or low-side return path; defines reference potential reference point. |
| 5, 7 | Cathode | Dual cathode terminals reduce parasitic resistance; share current path to maintain <0.6 Ω dynamic impedance. |
| 8 | Adjust (ADJ) | Enables ±5% output tuning via external resistor divider; open-circuit default yields nominal 2.5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip laser trimming | Reduces initial VZ error to ±10 mV and minimizes αVZ, eliminating factory calibration steps. |
| Three-terminal adjustability | ADJ pin enables ±5% output tuning without external op-amps or trim pots - simplifies BOM and layout. |
| Terminal-for-terminal LM136-2.5 replacement | Direct drop-in substitute in SOIC-8 and TSSOP-8 footprints; retains same pinout and electrical interface. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA ensures minimal output shift during transient loading - critical for SAR ADC reference stability. |
| Wide operating current range | Functional from 400 µA to 10 mA cathode current, enabling use in both ultra-low-power IoT sensors and high-drive buffer stages. |
Applications
| Industrial Data Acquisition | Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Analog I/O |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDR | 2.495 V nominal, 2% initial tolerance (±50 mV), higher 0.2 Ω typical ZZ, no ADJ pin - requires external resistors for adjustment. | Suitable for cost-driven power supply feedback; lacks integrated trim and tighter tempco needed for metrology-grade references. | Select when budget constraints outweigh precision requirements and board space permits external resistor network. |
| LM4040CIM3-2.5 | 2.5 V fixed output, 0.5% initial tolerance (±12.5 mV), 0.5 Ω ZZ, SOT-23-3 package, no ADJ pin, 60 µA min IZ. | Better suited for space-constrained, low-current applications like microcontroller VREF inputs - not adjustable and less stable over temperature. | Choose for compact designs where ±0.5% accuracy suffices and ADJ functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with TL431ACDR and LM4040CIM3-2.5, the LT1009CPWR uniquely combines ±0.4% initial accuracy, ±5% adjustability, and dual-cathode low-impedance design - making it optimal for applications demanding both precision and field calibration without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for LT1009CPWR?
The LT1009CPWR supports up to 10 mA cathode current under recommended operating conditions. Absolute maximum reverse current is 20 mA, but sustained operation above 10 mA may exceed thermal limits in the TSSOP package due to its 149°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For continuous 10 mA use, ensure board-level thermal relief or derate ambient temperature accordingly.
Can LT1009CPWR replace LM136-2.5 directly in existing designs?
Yes, LT1009CPWR is explicitly designed as a terminal-for-terminal replacement for LM136-2.5 in both SOIC-8 and TSSOP-8 packages. Pinout, voltage rating, and electrical behavior match - including identical ANODE/CATHODE/ADJ assignments and compatible adjustment range. No PCB changes are required when upgrading from LM136-2.5 to LT1009CPWR.
How does the ADJ pin function in LT1009CPWR?
The ADJ pin on LT1009CPWR allows ±5% output voltage adjustment by connecting an external resistor divider between cathode and ground. With ADJ open, output is nominal 2.5 V. Pulling ADJ toward ground lowers VZ; pulling toward cathode raises it. This feature enables system-level calibration without external op-amps or trimmer potentiometers.
What is the long-term stability of LT1009CPWR over time?
LT1009CPWR exhibits 20 ppm per kilohour long-term drift at 25°C under 1 mA cathode current. This equates to approximately 175 ppm/year under continuous operation - well within requirements for industrial instrumentation and calibrated test equipment. Stability improves with lower operating current and ambient temperature.
Is LT1009CPWR suitable for automotive applications?
No, LT1009CPWR is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation (C-grade) and is not qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 stress testing. For automotive use, consider TI's AEC-Q100 qualified alternatives such as REF3025AIDBZR or TL431QDBZRQ1, which meet extended temperature and reliability requirements.
