Product details
Overview
LT1009IPW from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V shunt voltage reference IC in TSSOP-8 package, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, with ±10 mV initial tolerance (±0.4%), 20 ppm/°C max average temperature coefficient, and 0.6 Ω max dynamic impedance at 1 mA. It serves as a stable reference in ADC/DAC circuits, power-supply monitors, and digital voltmeters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1009IPW datasheet, LT1009IPW pinout, LT1009IPW application, or LT1009IPW equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable ±5% reference range via ADJ terminal, no-trim operation, direct interchangeability with LM136-2.5, and suitability for industrial-grade analog signal conditioning where long-term stability and low thermal drift are critical.
Technical Context
The LT1009IPW implements a bandgap-derived shunt reference architecture with on-chip laser trimming to achieve tight initial voltage accuracy and minimized αVZ. Its three-terminal configuration (ANODE, CATHODE, ADJ) enables system-level calibration without external components.
It operates across 400 µA to 10 mA cathode current, maintains <1.4 Ω dynamic impedance over full temperature range, and delivers 2.5 V ±15 mV total variation from –40°C to +85°C at IZ = 1 mA - verified per SLVS013N Rev. May 2009.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.475 V to 2.525 V at IZ = 1 mA, –40°C to +85°C - ensures ≤±25 mV absolute error in industrial temperature environments. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±10 mV (±0.4%) in PW package - eliminates need for post-assembly trimming in most 8-bit data converter applications. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | 20 ppm/°C max (–40°C to +85°C) - supports <±0.5 mV drift over full operating range, critical for precision sensor interfaces. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZ | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA, 25°C; 1.4 Ω max over full temp range - minimizes load-induced reference voltage perturbation in noisy supply rails. |
| Adjustment Range | ±5% via ADJ pin (VADJ = GND to VZ) - allows fine-tuning to compensate for PCB trace resistance or DAC offset without external resistors. |
| Long-Term Drift | 20 ppm/khr at 25°C - guarantees <±0.1 mV shift after 1000 hours of operation, supporting high-reliability embedded instrumentation. |
| Operating Current Range | 400 µA to 10 mA - enables use with ultra-low-power microcontrollers and high-current buffer stages alike. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package, 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm height, moisture sensitivity level 1, lead finish NiPdAu, RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 6 | NC | No internal connection - unused pins; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practices. |
| 4 | ANODE | Anode terminal of internal shunt reference - connects to system ground or low-impedance return path. |
| 5, 7 | CATHODE | Primary cathode output - supplies 2.5 V reference voltage; requires series resistor from input supply. |
| 8 | ADJ | Adjustment terminal - enables ±5% reference voltage tuning via external voltage source or potentiometer. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed 2.5 V reference | Eliminates external trim network required by LM136, reducing BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs. |
| Three-terminal adjustability | Enables system-level calibration without altering feedback networks - essential for factory-trimmed test equipment. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.6 Ω max at 1 mA ensures minimal voltage droop during transient load steps in high-speed data acquisition systems. |
| Wide cathode current range | 400 µA to 10 mA supports both battery-powered sensors and high-drive analog front-ends without redesign. |
| Direct LM136-2.5 replacement | Same pinout and electrical behavior in D/PW packages - enables drop-in upgrade path with no PCB changes. |

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 | Higher initial tolerance (±1%), no ADJ pin, TO-92 only - lacks trim capability and industrial temp grade. | Requires external trim network for precision; limited to commercial temp range (0°C to 70°C). | Select LM136-2.5 only for cost-sensitive, non-adjustable, commercial-grade applications where ±1% accuracy suffices. |
| TL431ACDBVR | 2.495 V nominal, adjustable via two resistors, SOT-23-5 package - higher quiescent current (70 µA min), no guaranteed 20 ppm/°C αVZ. | Needs external resistor divider for 2.5 V setting; not pin-compatible; lower thermal stability in extended temperature range. | Choose TL431ACDBVR when board space is constrained and adjustable output is acceptable, but avoid for industrial temp-critical references. |
Compared with LM136-2.5 and TL431ACDBVR, the LT1009IPW uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, ±5% adjustability without external components, and guaranteed 20 ppm/°C stability - making it the only option among the three qualified for high-accuracy, field-deployed instrumentation requiring zero-trim operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT1009IPW?
The LT1009IPW is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the SLVS013N datasheet Section "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS". This industrial-grade rating distinguishes it from the commercial-grade LT1009C (0°C to 70°C) and makes the LT1009IPW suitable for harsh-environment deployments such as outdoor telecom infrastructure and factory-floor controllers.
Does the LT1009IPW require external trimming components?
No, the LT1009IPW does not require external trimming components. Its 2.5 V reference is laser-trimmed on-chip, achieving ±10 mV initial tolerance in the PW package. The ADJ pin enables optional ±5% adjustment without resistors - unlike the LM136-2.5, which mandates an external trim network to meet similar accuracy targets. This is explicitly stated in the "DESCRIPTION" section of the SLVS013N datasheet.
Is the LT1009IPW pin-compatible with the LM136-2.5?
Yes, the LT1009IPW is pin-compatible with the LM136-2.5 in the TSSOP-8 (PW) and SOIC-8 (D) packages, as confirmed by identical pin numbering, terminal functions (ANODE/CATHODE/ADJ), and mechanical outlines in TI's package drawings PW0008A and D0008A. This enables direct replacement without PCB modification, per the datasheet statement: "In many applications, the LT1009 can be used as a terminal-for-terminal replacement for the LM136-2.5".
What is the dynamic impedance specification of the LT1009IPW at full temperature range?
The LT1009IPW has a dynamic impedance (ZZ) of 1.4 Ω maximum over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range at IZ = 1 mA, as specified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table of SLVS013N. At 25°C, ZZ is tighter at 0.6 Ω max. This low impedance ensures minimal reference voltage perturbation under varying load conditions in precision analog circuits.
Can the LT1009IPW be used in battery-powered applications?
Yes, the LT1009IPW supports cathode currents as low as 400 µA, enabling use in battery-powered applications such as portable data loggers and handheld meters. Its 20 ppm/khr long-term drift and low temperature coefficient ensure stable reference performance over extended operating life without periodic recalibration - critical for field-deployed devices where maintenance access is limited.
