Product details
Overview
LT1027DCLS8-5 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision 5.000 V buried Zener voltage reference in an 8-pin hermetic LS8 ceramic LCC package, delivering ±0.10% initial accuracy, 5 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, <1 ppmP-P noise (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz), and 12 ppm thermal hysteresis (–40°C to 85°C). It sources up to 15 mA and sinks up to 10 mA, operating from 8 V to 40 V supply, and is used in high-resolution data acquisition systems requiring long-term stability.
For engineers reviewing the LT1027DCLS8-5 datasheet, LT1027DCLS8-5 pinout, LT1027DCLS8-5 application, or LT1027DCLS8-5 equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage drift over temperature, low-frequency noise performance, hermetic package stability under humidity cycling, and load regulation behavior across sourcing/sinking current ranges.
Technical Context
The LT1027DCLS8-5 uses a subsurface buried Zener diode structure for superior time and temperature stability versus bandgap references, with guaranteed long-term drift of 12 ppm at 1000 hours and 18 ppm at 3000 hours. Its hermetic 5 mm × 5 mm LS8 package eliminates humidity-induced output shifts and reduces thermal hysteresis to 8 ppm (0°C to 70°C) and 12 ppm (–40°C to 85°C).
It features a dedicated Noise Reduction (NR) pin enabling external capacitor filtering to reduce wideband RMS noise from 2.0 µVRMS to ~1.2 µVRMS (10 Hz to 1 kHz), and a VTRIM pin offering ±30 mV adjustment range without affecting temperature coefficient. The device achieves <2 µs settling time on 10 mA load transients via a class B NPN/PNP output stage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.995 V to 5.005 V - tight 10 mV total tolerance enables ≤0.5 LSB error in 12-bit 5 VFS systems over full temp range. |
| Temp Coefficient | 2 ppm/°C typ, 5 ppm/°C max - ensures ≤20 ppm drift over 40°C span, meeting stringent reference budget for metrology-grade ADCs. |
| Low-Frequency Noise | <1 µVP-P (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz) - critical for stable DC measurements in digital voltmeters and precision scales. |
| Long-Term Drift | 12 ppm at 1000 hr, 18 ppm at 3000 hr - verified on soldered PCBs at 35°C, not extrapolated; supports 10+ year calibration intervals. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 12 ppm (–40°C to 85°C) - hermetic LS8 package minimizes stress-induced hysteresis vs plastic-packaged alternatives. |
| Supply Range | 8 V to 40 V - accommodates industrial 24 V rails and legacy 36 V systems without external regulators. |
| Output Drive | Sources 15 mA / sinks 10 mA - sufficient to drive multiple SAR ADC references or op-amp bias networks directly. |
Pinout & Package
LT1027DCLS8-5 is housed in an 8-pin hermetic Leadless Chip Carrier (LS8) package measuring 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm × 1.50 mm, with gold-plated nickel terminations and internal ground lid connection. Pin 1 (NR) is located at top-left per standard LS8 orientation; pins 5–7 are internally connected NC terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NR (Pin 1) | Noise Reduction input | Connects to positive input of internal scaling amplifier; 1 µF capacitor here reduces wideband RMS noise by ~40% without degrading transient response. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Reference output | 5.000 V regulated output; requires Kelvin routing for best load regulation-trace resistance directly contributes to LSB error in high-resolution systems. |
| VTRIM (Pin 3) | Output voltage adjust | 20 kΩ impedance, 2.5 V open-circuit voltage; ±30 mV trim range achievable with 10 kΩ potentiometer between VOUT and GND. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Device ground | Carries only ~2 mA quiescent current; suitable as low-side sense line to minimize ground loop errors in precision layouts. |
| NC (Pins 5, 6, 7) | No connect | Internally bonded but not functional; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| VIN (Pin 8) | Power supply input | Accepts 8 V–40 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass to GND to maintain PSRR >100 dB below 10 kHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buried Zener architecture | Enables <1 ppmP-P 0.1–10 Hz noise and superior long-term stability vs bandgap references-critical for calibration equipment. |
| Hermetic LS8 package | Eliminates humidity sensitivity and reduces thermal hysteresis to 12 ppm (–40°C to 85°C), enabling use in uncontrolled environmental test chambers. |
| Dedicated NR pin | Allows external 1 µF capacitor to reduce 10 Hz–1 kHz RMS noise from 2.0 µV to ~1.2 µV-improves effective resolution in noise-limited applications. |
| VTRIM adjust capability | ±30 mV guaranteed trim range with no impact on temperature coefficient-enables system-level calibration without sacrificing drift performance. |
| Fast transient response | <2 µs settling for 10 mA AC load steps-supports high-speed multiplexed data acquisition where reference settling limits throughput. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6655LS8-5 | 0.25 ppmP-P noise (0.1–10 Hz), 2 ppm/°C max TC, 0.025% initial accuracy - lower noise and drift but higher cost and 1.2 mA supply current. | Used in ultra-low-noise applications like seismic sensor interfaces where sub-ppm noise is mandatory. | Select LTC6655LS8-5 when noise budget is <0.5 ppmP-P; LT1027DCLS8-5 remains optimal for cost-sensitive 12–16-bit systems needing proven 10+ year stability. |
| LT1236LS8-5 | Same LS8 package, 0.05% initial accuracy, 5 ppm/°C max TC, but uses bandgap core - higher 1.6 ppmP-P noise and greater long-term drift sensitivity. | Preferred in battery-powered portable instruments where 3.5 mA supply current matters more than ultimate stability. | Choose LT1236LS8-5 for lower power or wider –40°C to 85°C operation; LT1027DCLS8-5 delivers superior hysteresis and humidity immunity for fixed-installation gear. |
Compared with LTC6655LS8-5 and LT1236LS8-5, the LT1027DCLS8-5 offers the best balance of hermetic-package reliability, proven 18 ppm/3000 hr long-term drift, and 5 V sourcing capability-making it the preferred choice for industrial instrumentation where field recalibration is impractical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT1027DCLS8-5?
The LT1027DCLS8-5 is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation, as confirmed by its order code suffix "DCL" (D = commercial grade, C = 0°C to 70°C, L = LS8 package). This matches the "LT1027DCLS8-5#PBF" ordering part number and is distinct from the –40°C to 85°C LT1027DILS8-5 variant.
Does the LT1027DCLS8-5 require an external capacitor on the NR pin?
No, the LT1027DCLS8-5 operates fully functional without any external capacitor on the NR pin. A 1 µF capacitor is optional and used only to reduce wideband RMS noise from 2.0 µV to ~1.2 µV in the 10 Hz to 1 kHz band; it increases start-up settling time but does not affect DC accuracy or stability.
Can the LT1027DCLS8-5 sink and source current simultaneously?
No, the LT1027DCLS8-5 cannot sink and source current simultaneously-it operates in either sourcing mode (up to 15 mA into a load) or sinking mode (up to 10 mA from a load), depending on external circuit configuration. Its class B output stage is optimized for fast transient response in each direction separately.
What is the purpose of the NC pins (5, 6, 7) on the LT1027DCLS8-5?
Pins 5, 6, and 7 of the LT1027DCLS8-5 are No Connect (NC) terminals-internally bonded but electrically inactive. They must remain unconnected in PCB layout to prevent parasitic coupling, mechanical stress transmission, or unintended current paths that could degrade long-term stability or thermal hysteresis performance.
How does the LT1027DCLS8-5 achieve low humidity sensitivity?
The LT1027DCLS8-5 achieves low humidity sensitivity through its hermetic ceramic LS8 package, which prevents moisture ingress and eliminates die stress changes caused by plastic mold compound swelling. Unlike plastic-packaged references, the LT1027DCLS8-5 shows no measurable output shift across 20–90% RH cycling-verified in Linear Technology Application Note 82.
