Product details
Overview
LT1009IPWE4 from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5-V shunt voltage reference IC operating over –40°C to 85°C, featuring ±10 mV initial tolerance (±0.4%), 1.4 Ω max dynamic impedance at 1 mA, and ±5% adjustable output via ADJ pin. It serves as a stable reference in ADC/DAC circuits, power-supply monitors, and digital voltmeters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1009IPWE4 datasheet, LT1009IPWE4 pinout, LT1009IPWE4 application, or LT1009IPWE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to TSSOP-8, terminal roles, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The LT1009IPWE4 implements a bandgap-based shunt reference architecture with on-chip laser trimming for initial accuracy and low temperature coefficient. Its three-terminal configuration (ANODE, CATHODE, ADJ) enables system-level calibration without external components.
It operates across 400 µA–10 mA cathode current, maintains <15 mV full-range voltage drift (–40°C to 85°C), and delivers 25 ppm/°C typical average temperature coefficient - all while requiring no external capacitors or adjustments for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.475 V to 2.525 V at IZ = 1 mA, full –40°C to 85°C range - ensures stable 2.5-V基准 under industrial temperature stress |
| Initial Tolerance | ±10 mV (±0.4%) in TSSOP-8 package - eliminates need for post-mount trimming in high-volume production |
| Dynamic Impedance | 1.4 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - minimizes load-induced output variation in precision feedback loops |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | 20–35 ppm/°C (–40°C to 85°C) - supports accurate measurements across extended industrial environments |
| Adjustment Range | ±5% via ADJ pin - allows fine-tuning to compensate for PCB trace resistance or system gain errors |
| Long-Term Drift | 20 ppm/khr at 25°C - guarantees reference stability over years of continuous operation |
| Operating Current | 400 µA to 10 mA - compatible with low-power sensor nodes and high-current DAC references alike |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (PW), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, lead-free NiPdAu finish, RoHS compliant, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 | NC (No internal connection) | Unused pins - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices; no internal circuitry attached |
| 4 | ANODE | Connects to system ground or low-impedance return path; forms cathode-to-anode reference loop |
| 8 | CATHODE | Primary output node - supplies regulated 2.5 V to load; sinks current from external bias resistor |
| ADJ (Pin 3 in LP variant; Pin 8 in D/PW is CATHODE - confirmed per TI SLVS013N Fig 1 & ordering table) | ADJ | Third terminal enabling ±5% output adjustment; open-circuit default yields nominal 2.5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed accuracy | ±10 mV initial tolerance in TSSOP-8 eliminates factory calibration steps for cost-sensitive instrumentation |
| Wide cathode current range | 400 µA–10 mA operation supports both ultra-low-power IoT sensors and high-speed 12-bit ADC references |
| No external trim required | On-chip trimming achieves <25 ppm/°C αVZ without potentiometers or calibration firmware |
| Terminal-for-terminal LM136-2.5 replacement | Direct drop-in substitute in SOIC-8 and TSSOP-8 footprints - preserves existing PCB layouts and BOMs |
| Low dynamic impedance | 1.4 Ω max ensures <1.4 mV output shift per 1 mA load change - critical for ratiometric sensor interfaces |
Applications
| Industrial Power-Supply Monitor | 8-Bit ADC Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040C25IDBZR | Fixed 2.5 V, 0.5% initial tolerance, 50 ppm/°C tempco, SOT-23-3 package, no ADJ pin | Lacks adjustability; lower accuracy but smaller footprint and lower cost | Select when board space is constrained and ±0.5% tolerance suffices without system-level trimming |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V, 0.2% initial tolerance, 50 ppm/°C tempco, 1.4 µA max quiescent current, SOT-23-3 | Ultra-low IQ enables coin-cell operation; no ADJ pin; higher precision but no field calibration | Prefer for portable equipment where standby current <2 µA is mandatory and 0.2% factory accuracy is acceptable |
Compared with LT1009IPWE4, LM4040C25IDBZR trades adjustability and industrial tempco for compactness and cost, while REF3025AIDBZR prioritizes micropower operation and tighter initial accuracy over field calibration capability - making LT1009IPWE4 optimal for calibrated industrial systems needing ±5% tuning headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for LT1009IPWE4?
The LT1009IPWE4 supports up to 10 mA cathode current under recommended operating conditions. Exceeding this value risks exceeding the 150°C junction temperature limit, especially in TSSOP-8 due to its 149°C/W thermal resistance. Derating is required above 70°C ambient.
Does LT1009IPWE4 require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LT1009IPWE4 is internally compensated and does not require an external capacitor for stability. Its design maintains phase margin across the full 400 µA–10 mA operating range without added capacitance - simplifying layout in space-constrained applications.
Can LT1009IPWE4 replace LM136-2.5 in existing designs?
Yes, LT1009IPWE4 is explicitly designed as a terminal-for-terminal replacement for LM136-2.5 in SOIC-8 and TSSOP-8 packages. Pinout, voltage rating, and current capability match directly - enabling drop-in substitution without PCB changes.
What is the function of the ADJ pin on LT1009IPWE4?
The ADJ pin on LT1009IPWE4 enables ±5% output voltage adjustment by connecting an external resistor divider between cathode and ground. With ADJ open, LT1009IPWE4 delivers nominal 2.5 V; adjusting ADJ shifts output linearly within the specified range to correct system-level errors.
Is LT1009IPWE4 qualified for automotive applications?
No, LT1009IPWE4 is rated for –40°C to 85°C operation and is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use, consider TI's TL431Q or REF5025-Q1, which meet automotive reliability and qualification standards - LT1009IPWE4 targets industrial and commercial systems only.
