Product details
Overview
LT1034CS8-1.2 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower dual-output precision voltage reference IC providing a 1.225V bandgap output and a 7.0V subsurface zener output in an 8-lead SOIC package. It delivers ±0.5% initial accuracy, 20 ppm/°C max temperature drift (commercial grade), 1Ω dynamic impedance, and operates from 20µA to 20mA - enabling use in portable meters and low-power precision regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LT1034CS8-1.2 datasheet, LT1034CS8-1.2 pinout, LT1034CS8-1.2 application, or LT1034CS8-1.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed drift performance over 0°C to 70°C, dual-reference architecture for system-level calibration, low-noise operation (4 µVP-P, 0.1–10 Hz), and compatibility with unregulated supplies due to low dynamic impedance.
Technical Context
The LT1034CS8-1.2 integrates two independent reference elements: a trimmed thin-film bandgap core for the 1.225V output (±0.5% initial tolerance, 20 ppm/°C drift) and a separate subsurface zener for the 7.0V output (±3% tolerance, 40 ppm/°C drift). Both outputs share a common cathode connection but operate independently under reverse bias.
Its SO-8 package supports surface-mount assembly and thermal performance with θJA = 160°C/W. The device requires no external components for basic operation and maintains stability across 20µA–20mA load current while exhibiting only 0.5–2.0 mV reverse voltage change over that range for the 1.2V output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage (1.2V) | 1.225 V ±0.5% at 100 µA - enables high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing without trimming |
| Reference Voltage (7V) | 7.0 V ±3% at 100 µA - provides stable auxiliary reference for non-critical analog blocks |
| Temp Coefficient (1.2V) | 20 ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - ensures ≤1.25 mV total drift across full commercial range |
| Dynamic Impedance | 1 Ω max at 100 µA - allows stable regulation even with noisy or varying input supplies |
| Operating Current Range | 20 µA to 20 mA - supports ultra-low-power sleep modes and full-scale sensor excitation |
| Low-Frequency Noise | 4 µVP-P, 0.1–10 Hz - minimizes noise contribution in high-resolution measurement front-ends |
| Long-Term Stability | 20 ppm/√khrs - ensures calibration integrity over multi-year deployments |
Pinout & Package
LT1034CS8-1.2 is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (narrow, 0.150") package per LTC DWG #05-08-1610, with standard SO-8 footprint and lead pitch of 1.27 mm. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 2 | NC | No internal connection - no routing required; avoid stubs |
| 3 | NC | No internal connection - electrically isolated from both reference outputs |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference for both 1.2V and 7V outputs - must be low-impedance star point |
| 5 | 7V Output | Cathode of subsurface zener - reverse-biased output requiring series resistor for current setting |
| 6 | 1.2V/2.5V Output | Cathode of bandgap reference - primary precision output; shares cathode node with Pin 5 |
| 7 | NC | No internal connection - not bonded; ignore in layout |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection - unused pad; no electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent references | Simultaneous 1.225V (precision) + 7.0V (auxiliary) outputs reduce BOM count and board space |

Applications
| Portable Digital Multimeters | Precision DC-DC Regulator Feedback |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Handheld DMMs requiring stable, low-power reference for 5½-digit ADC conversion across –10°C to 50°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 1.225V reference for SAR ADC and secondary 7.0V reference for auto-ranging circuitry. Use Value: 20 ppm/°C drift ensures <0.01% reading error over operating range; 20µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 200 hours. | Use Scenario: Isolated flyback or forward converter where output voltage sensing must remain accurate despite input ripple and load transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 1.225V shunt reference in optocoupler feedback loop; 7.0V output powers TL431 bias network. Use Value: 1Ω dynamic impedance rejects supply noise; dual outputs eliminate need for discrete Zener + bandgap combo. |
| Calibration Equipment | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Benchtop calibrator generating traceable 10V, 1V, and 100mV outputs via resistor dividers from a master reference. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Master 1.225V reference feeding precision DAC and buffered divider chain; 7.0V output drives op-amp rails. Use Value: 20 ppm/√khrs long-term stability reduces annual recalibration frequency; low hysteresis ensures repeatability after thermal cycling. | Use Scenario: 4–20 mA transmitter with RTD or strain gauge input, requiring ratiometric excitation and ADC reference from same source. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 1.225V reference for both bridge excitation and ADC - enabling true ratiometric measurement. Use Value: Matching tempcos between excitation and reference cancel thermal errors; 4 µVP-P noise avoids digitization uncertainty in 24-bit sigma-delta converters. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1004CS8-1.2 | Single 1.2V bandgap reference; no 7V output; 50 ppm/°C drift (typ); higher dynamic impedance (5Ω) | Lacks auxiliary reference; unsuitable where dual-rail calibration or auxiliary bias is needed | Select when only one precision reference is required and cost sensitivity outweighs drift performance |
| LT1236CS8-1.2 | Buried zener-based; 3 ppm/°C drift; 1.2V output only; higher quiescent current (1.5mA min); 0.2Ω impedance | Superior drift/noise but no 7V output; consumes >70× more current than LT1034CS8-1.2 | Select for metrology-grade stability where power budget permits and auxiliary reference is unnecessary |
Compared with LT1004CS8-1.2 and LT1236CS8-1.2, the LT1034CS8-1.2 uniquely balances ultra-low power (20µA), dual-output capability, and guaranteed 20 ppm/°C drift - making it optimal for portable, battery-constrained systems needing both precision and flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT1034CS8-1.2?
The LT1034CS8-1.2 is rated for commercial operation from 0°C to 70°C. Its absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and thermal resistance is θJA = 160°C/W in the SO-8 package. Operation outside the specified range may degrade drift performance or long-term stability, and is not guaranteed by Analog Devices.
Can the 7V and 1.2V outputs of the LT1034CS8-1.2 be used simultaneously without interference?
Yes - the LT1034CS8-1.2 integrates two physically separate reference elements sharing only the cathode node (Pins 5 and 6). Electrical interaction is minimized by design; datasheet testing confirms independent operation with <2 mV cross-coupling under typical bias conditions. No additional isolation components are required.
Is the LT1034CS8-1.2 pin-compatible with the LT1034IS8-1.2?
Yes - both LT1034CS8-1.2 and LT1034IS8-1.2 use identical SO-8 packaging and pinout. The only difference is temperature grade: 'C' denotes 0°C to 70°C, while 'I' specifies –40°C to 85°C. All electrical specifications except temperature drift and operating range are identical; PCB layout is fully interchangeable.
Does the LT1034CS8-1.2 require external capacitors for stability?
No - the LT1034CS8-1.2 is internally compensated and stable with purely resistive loads. A 1µF ceramic capacitor at the 1.2V output is recommended only for noise reduction in sensitive measurement circuits; it is not required for basic regulation or loop stability. No capacitor is needed on the 7V output.
How does the LT1034CS8-1.2 compare to the LM385 in terms of temperature drift?
The LT1034CS8-1.2 guarantees ≤20 ppm/°C drift over 0°C to 70°C, whereas the LM385B-1.2 typically exhibits 50–100 ppm/°C drift and is not specified over temperature. This makes the LT1034CS8-1.2 a direct high-stability upgrade path for designs where calibration drift limits measurement accuracy - especially in portable or thermally variable environments.
