Product details
Overview
LT1009IDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V shunt voltage reference IC with ±10 mV initial tolerance (±0.4%), 20 ppm/°C max average temperature coefficient, and 0.6 Ω max dynamic impedance, designed for high-stability analog references in ADC/DAC circuits, power-supply monitors, and digital voltmeters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1009IDRG4 datasheet, LT1009IDRG4 pinout, LT1009IDRG4 application, or LT1009IDRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 package mapping, terminal-level design meaning, and two confirmed alternative parts for industrial-grade 2.5-V reference replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The LT1009IDRG4 operates as a three-terminal shunt reference with ANODE, CATHODE, and ADJ pins, enabling ±5% output adjustment via external resistor networks while maintaining low temperature drift. Its on-chip trimming eliminates need for external calibration.
It functions across –40°C to +85°C, supports 400 µA–10 mA operating current, delivers 2.475 V–2.525 V reference voltage over full temperature range, and exhibits 1.4 Ω max full-range dynamic impedance - critical for noise-sensitive measurement systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.500 V nominal at 1 mA; ±10 mV (±0.4%) initial tolerance in D package ensures tight system-level accuracy without trimming. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 20–35 ppm/°C max (–40°C to +85°C); enables stable reference performance in automotive and industrial environments. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA; minimizes output voltage variation under load transients in precision DAC/ADC biasing. |
| Adjustment Range | ±5% via ADJ pin; allows fine-tuning to compensate for PCB trace resistance or system gain errors without redesign. |
| Operating Current | 400 µA–10 mA; supports low-power sensor interfaces and high-current reference buffering in mixed-signal systems. |
| Long-Term Drift | 20 ppm/khr at 25°C; ensures multi-year stability in battery-powered instrumentation and calibration equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LT1009IDRG4 uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with notch marking; pins 1–4 on left side, 5–8 on right side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 6 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated - must remain unconnected or tied to ground only if required by layout EMI mitigation. |
| 4 | ANODE | Reference input node; connects to system ground or negative rail when used in standard shunt configuration. |
| 5, 7 | CATHODE | Main reference output node; supplies 2.5 V to load; requires series resistor from positive supply to limit current. |
| 8 | ADJ | Voltage-adjustment terminal; accepts external resistor divider to shift output ±5% - enables system-level error correction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip trimming | Eliminates external trim network needed for LM136-2.5, reducing BOM count and board space in 5-V system references. |
| Wide current range | Operates reliably from 400 µA to 10 mA - supports both ultra-low-power IoT sensors and high-drive buffer stages. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA ensures minimal voltage droop during fast load steps in 12-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
| Terminal-for-terminal LM136 compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement in existing designs using LM136-2.5, avoiding PCB rework or schematic changes. |
| Stable over industrial temp range | Specified from –40°C to +85°C with ≤15 mV total ΔVZ variation - suitable for outdoor metering and factory automation. |

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 (10× looser), no ADJ pin, higher 20 Ω dynamic impedance. | Lacks adjustment capability and thermal stability; requires external trim network for precision use. | Select LM136-2.5 only for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where ±1% reference accuracy suffices. |
| TL431ACDR | Programmable 2.495 V reference with 2% initial tolerance, 0.2 Ω typical impedance, but no guaranteed 20 ppm/°C tempco. | Wider adjustment range (2.5–36 V) but less stable over temperature; not qualified for –40°C to +85°C without derating. | Choose TL431ACDR for variable-output or higher-voltage shunt needs, but verify tempco compliance per unit test. |
Compared with LM136-2.5 and TL431ACDR, LT1009IDRG4 uniquely delivers factory-trimmed 0.4% initial accuracy, guaranteed 20 ppm/°C tempco over full industrial range, and ±5% ADJ capability - making it optimal for calibrated instrumentation and long-life embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LT1009IDRG4?
The LT1009IDRG4 supports a recommended operating current range of 400 µA to 10 mA. At 10 mA, it maintains ≤1.4 Ω dynamic impedance and ≤15 mV total voltage variation across –40°C to +85°C. Exceeding 10 mA risks exceeding absolute maximum junction temperature limits.
Does LT1009IDRG4 require external capacitors for stability?
No, LT1009IDRG4 is inherently stable and does not require external output capacitors. Its internal design ensures stability with purely resistive loads. Adding capacitance may introduce phase shift and transient overshoot - TI's datasheet explicitly states "no capacitor required" for standard operation.
Can LT1009IDRG4 replace LM136-2.5 without circuit modification?
Yes, LT1009IDRG4 is specified as a terminal-for-terminal replacement for LM136-2.5 in SOIC-8 packages. Pinout, footprint, and basic connection topology match exactly. However, the ADJ pin (pin 8) must be left open or grounded depending on whether adjustment is needed - unlike LM136-2.5 which has no ADJ function.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on LT1009IDRG4?
Pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on LT1009IDRG4 are No-Connection (NC) terminals with no internal bond wires or silicon connections. They must remain unconnected in PCB layout. Routing traces to these pins or tying them to ground/voltage violates TI's recommended practice and may induce parasitic coupling or thermal imbalance.
How does the ADJ pin affect LT1009IDRG4's temperature coefficient?
The ADJ pin allows ±5% output adjustment but does not degrade the temperature coefficient. TI's datasheet confirms that trimming via ADJ "does not affect temperature coefficient" - the 20–35 ppm/°C spec remains fully valid across the entire adjustment range, preserving accuracy in thermally varying environments.
