Product details
Overview
LT1019ACH-5 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision 5V bandgap voltage reference IC designed for high-stability analog signal chains. It delivers ±0.05% initial output voltage tolerance, 5ppm/°C temperature coefficient over 0°C to 70°C, ultralow 0.5ppm/V line regulation, and supports both series and shunt operation modes - enabling use in positive or negative output configurations without external components. It is deployed in high-resolution ADC/DAC calibration circuits requiring stable excitation and low-drift biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LT1019ACH-5 datasheet, LT1019ACH-5 pinout, LT1019ACH-5 application, or LT1019ACH-5 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin definitions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for precision reference selection in industrial instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The LT1019ACH-5 implements third-generation curvature-corrected bandgap architecture with wafer-level thin-film trimming of both reference and output stages. Its dual-mode operation (series/shunt) enables flexible integration into regulator feedback paths or as a standalone shunt reference, with <1.1V minimum input-output differential in series mode and full 10mA sink/source capability.
It features a dedicated TEMP pin providing PTAT voltage (~2.1mV/°C) with <0.05%/µA loading sensitivity, and a TRIM pin supporting ±3.5% to –13% output adjustment range. Thermal regulation is specified at 0.5ppm/mW to quantify die-gradient-induced drift under dynamic load or line transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000 V ±0.05% (tight initial accuracy enables direct use in 16-bit DAC reference without post-calibration) |
| Temp Coefficient | 5 ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - ensures ≤35ppm total drift across commercial temperature range |
| Line Regulation | 0.5 ppm/V typical - maintains stability even with ±5V input variation in unregulated supplies |
| Load Regulation | 0.05 mV/mA (series mode) - supports dynamic load changes up to 10mA with sub-500µV error |
| Output Impedance | ≈0.02 Ω - enables low-noise buffering and minimizes IR drop in precision current sources |
| Quiescent Current | 0.65–1.0 mA - balances low power consumption with fast settling and low thermal self-heating |
| Noise (10Hz–1kHz) | 2.5 ppm RMS - suitable for 18-bit ADC systems where reference noise dominates SNR budget |
Pinout & Package
LT1019ACH-5 is housed in an 8-lead TO-5 metal can (H package), hermetically sealed for long-term stability and low humidity sensitivity. The package features a grounded metal case (Pin 5) and three internally connected, no-connect pins (Pins 1, 4, 6) - all must remain unconnected in PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 2 (INPUT) | Reference input node | Accepts input voltage ≥6V in shunt mode; ≥6V in series mode (VOUT + 1.1V min); connects to unregulated supply rail |
| Pin 3 (TEMP) | PTAT temperature monitor | Provides ~2.1mV/°C output for relative temp sensing; loading <0.05%/µA avoids reference perturbation |
| Pin 5 (GND) | Case ground / thermal path | Electrically and thermally connected to metal can; must be tied to system ground for stability and EMI control |
| Pin 7 (OUTPUT) | Precision 5V reference output | Delivers regulated 5V with <0.02Ω impedance; capable of sourcing/sinking up to 10mA continuously |
| Pin 8 (TRIM) | Voltage trim control | Accepts external potentiometer to adjust output by +3.5% to –13%; enables calibration to exact system requirements |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-corrected bandgap | Reduces parabolic drift to ≤5ppm/°C box specification - eliminates need for external compensation networks |
| Dual-mode operation | Operates as series or shunt reference without added components - simplifies design for bipolar or single-supply systems |
| Ultrahigh line rejection | 0.5ppm/V line regulation enables use with noisy or poorly regulated supplies without additional filtering |
| Low thermal regulation | 0.5ppm/mW sensitivity allows accurate prediction and compensation of power-dissipation-induced drift |
| 100% noise tested | Guaranteed 2.5ppm RMS (10Hz–1kHz) output noise - meets SNR requirements for 18-bit SAR and sigma-delta converters |
Applications
| High-Accuracy Data Acquisition | Industrial Precision Regulators |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1027CS8-5 | Zener-based topology; 1.2ppm/°C max TC (0°C–70°C); 0.01% initial tolerance; SO-8 package | Lower drift but higher cost and limited to positive-only operation; requires ≥8V input | Choose when ultra-low TC is critical and input headroom ≥8V is available; not suitable for shunt or negative-rail use. |
| LT1461ACS8-5 | Bandgap-based; 3ppm/°C max TC; 0.04% initial tolerance; 50µA quiescent current; SO-8 package | Lower power but reduced drive strength (10mA max sink only); no TRIM or TEMP pins | Choose for battery-powered or space-constrained designs where 10mA sourcing is unnecessary and trimming is not required. |
Compared with LT1019ACH-5, LT1027CS8-5 offers superior temperature stability but sacrifices flexibility in operating mode and input voltage range, while LT1461ACS8-5 reduces power and size at the expense of trim capability and bidirectional current drive - making LT1019ACH-5 the optimal choice for general-purpose, high-flexibility precision reference needs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT1019ACH-5?
The LT1019ACH-5 is rated for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its key specifications - including ±0.05% initial output voltage tolerance and 5ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient - are guaranteed across this full range. This makes the LT1019ACH-5 suitable for indoor industrial and test equipment applications where ambient conditions remain within these bounds.
Can the LT1019ACH-5 be used in shunt mode with a negative output voltage?
Yes, the LT1019ACH-5 supports true shunt-mode operation with negative output voltages. When configured as a shunt reference, its OUTPUT pin becomes the cathode, allowing it to regulate a negative rail (e.g., –5V) referenced to ground. The device sinks up to 10mA in this configuration, and no external components are required - a key advantage over earlier bandgap references.
What is the purpose of the TEMP pin on the LT1019ACH-5?
The TEMP pin on the LT1019ACH-5 provides a PTAT (proportional-to-absolute-temperature) voltage output of approximately 2.1mV/°C, nominally ~620mV at 25°C. It is intended for relative temperature monitoring - not absolute measurement - and exhibits <0.05%/µA loading sensitivity, minimizing impact on reference accuracy. This enables on-chip thermal diagnostics without degrading LT1019ACH-5 performance.
How much output voltage adjustment is possible using the TRIM pin on the LT1019ACH-5?
The TRIM pin on the LT1019ACH-5 supports an output voltage adjustment range of +3.5% to –13% around the nominal 5.000V output. This wide range accommodates system-level calibration and compensates for downstream gain errors. For example, trimming to 5.120V (a common requirement for 12-bit DAC full-scale alignment) is fully supported using a standard 5kΩ cermet potentiometer with appropriate series resistors.
Is the LT1019ACH-5 stable with large output capacitance?
Yes, the LT1019ACH-5 is stable with all values of output capacitance when configured in 4.5V, 5V, or 10V versions - unlike the 2.5V variant. No external compensation is required, and it remains stable even with ≥10µF tantalum or ceramic capacitors. This simplifies filtering in noise-sensitive applications such as high-resolution ADC reference decoupling without risking oscillation.
