Product details
Overview
LT1009CZ#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision 2.5V shunt voltage reference in a 3-lead plastic TO-92 package, featuring ±5 mV initial tolerance (0.2%), 0.6 Ω max dynamic impedance, and 25 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over 0°C to 70°C. It serves as a stable reference for ADC/DAC circuits, power supply monitors, and current-loop systems requiring low-drift calibration.
For engineers reviewing the LT1009CZ#PBF datasheet, LT1009CZ#PBF pinout, LT1009CZ#PBF application, or LT1009CZ#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.2% initial accuracy, ±5% external trim capability, TO-92 thermal resistance of 160°C/W, and direct interchangeability with LM136 in legacy designs without layout changes.
Technical Context
The LT1009CZ#PBF uses on-chip laser trimming to achieve 0.2% initial voltage tolerance and minimize temperature drift across its 0°C to 70°C operating range. Its bandgap-based architecture delivers stable 2.500 V output at 1 mA reverse current with guaranteed 15 mV total variation over temperature.
It operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with a third ADJ terminal enabling ±5% output adjustment via external resistors-without affecting temperature coefficient. The device maintains ≤0.6 Ω dynamic impedance from 400 μA to 10 mA reverse current, supporting wide-range load regulation in unregulated supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V ±5 mV at 1 mA - ensures precise 2.5V reference for 8-bit data converters requiring <0.2% full-scale error. |
| Initial Tolerance | 0.2% - eliminates need for post-assembly calibration in cost-sensitive industrial instrumentation. |
| Temp Coefficient | 25 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±1.875 mV over 0°C–70°C, critical for stable current-loop transmitters. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA - enables tight regulation under varying load currents in battery-powered sensor nodes. |
| Operating Current | 400 μA to 10 mA - supports ultra-low-power operation down to 100 μW while maintaining accuracy. |
| Long-Term Stability | 20 ppm/kHr - guarantees minimal aging-induced drift in 10-year deployed monitoring equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LT1009CZ#PBF is housed in a 3-lead plastic TO-92 package (Z package), with lead-to-case thermal resistance θJA = 160°C/W and maximum junction temperature of 100°C. Pin 1 is Cathode (–), Pin 2 is Anode (+), and Pin 3 is Adjust (ADJ).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (–) | Cathode | Reference output node; connects to system ground or regulated return path in shunt configuration. |
| Pin 2 (+) | Anode | Current sink input; ties to unregulated supply rail through series resistor to set operating current. |
| Pin 3 (ADJ) | Adjust Terminal | Enables ±5% output scaling via external resistor divider; does not impact temperature coefficient. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed 2.5V reference | 0.2% initial accuracy achieved via on-die trimming-reduces BOM count by eliminating external calibration potentiometers. |
| ±5% adjustable output | Third ADJ pin allows system-level calibration to compensate for PCB trace resistance and DAC offset errors. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.6 Ω max ensures <1 mV load regulation error across 400 μA–10 mA operating range. |
| LM136 drop-in replacement | Pins 1–2–3 match LM136 TO-92 footprint-enables performance upgrade without PCB redesign. |
| Guaranteed temp stability | 15 mV total variation over 0°C–70°C-meets industrial-grade requirements for power supply monitors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM136Z-2.5 | 0.5% initial tolerance, 50 ppm/°C tempco, no ADJ pin | Lacks trim capability; higher drift limits use in precision metering | Select when cost is primary constraint and ±0.5% accuracy suffices |
| TL431ACZ | 2.495V nominal, 1% tolerance, adjustable via resistor divider, 50 ppm/°C | Requires external resistors for 2.5V setting; higher tempco increases calibration burden | Choose for high-volume consumer applications where 1% tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with LM136Z-2.5 and TL431ACZ, the LT1009CZ#PBF delivers superior 0.2% accuracy and 25 ppm/°C stability-critical for industrial sensors and test equipment-while retaining LM136 pin compatibility and adding ±5% trim without external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LT1009CZ#PBF?
The LT1009CZ#PBF is rated for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is specified in the official Linear Technology datasheet and applies to all electrical characteristics unless otherwise noted. The device's thermal resistance (θJA = 160°C/W) and maximum junction temperature of 100°C ensure reliable performance within this ambient range when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs with typical copper pour.
Does LT1009CZ#PBF require external components to function as a 2.5V reference?
No, the LT1009CZ#PBF functions as a complete 2.5V shunt reference with only a single series current-setting resistor between the unregulated supply and the anode (Pin 2). Its laser-trimmed core delivers 2.500 V ±5 mV at 1 mA without external calibration. The ADJ pin (Pin 3) is optional and used only when ±5% output adjustment is needed to correct system-level errors.
Can LT1009CZ#PBF replace LM136 in existing designs?
Yes, the LT1009CZ#PBF is explicitly documented as a pin-to-pin replacement for the LM136 in TO-92 packages. Both share identical pinout (Cathode–Anode–ADJ), voltage rating, and basic shunt regulator functionality. Upgrading to LT1009CZ#PBF improves initial accuracy from 0.5% to 0.2% and reduces temperature coefficient from 50 ppm/°C to 25 ppm/°C without any PCB modifications.
What is the maximum reverse current rating for LT1009CZ#PBF?
The absolute maximum reverse current for LT1009CZ#PBF is 20 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For reliable long-term operation, the recommended operating reverse current range is 400 μA to 10 mA. Operating above 10 mA increases self-heating and may degrade long-term stability, while currents below 400 μA risk increased dynamic impedance and reduced regulation accuracy.
How does the ADJ pin on LT1009CZ#PBF affect temperature coefficient?
The ADJ pin on LT1009CZ#PBF enables ±5% output voltage adjustment via external resistors but does not affect the temperature coefficient-the datasheet explicitly states "DOES NOT AFFECT TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT." The trimmed bandgap core maintains its specified 25 ppm/°C max drift regardless of ADJ pin configuration, preserving stability in calibrated systems across temperature extremes.
