Product details
Overview
LT1236BIS8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision 5V series/shunt voltage reference IC featuring ultra-low 5ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 0.05% max initial accuracy, and <3µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) output noise. It sources/sinks ±10mA, operates from 6V to 40V input, and delivers stable 5.000V output for high-resolution data converters and metrology systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1236BIS8-5#PBF datasheet, LT1236BIS8-5#PBF pinout, LT1236BIS8-5#PBF application, or LT1236BIS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), SO-8 package compatibility with AD586/AD587, thermal hysteresis ≤10ppm, and ripple rejection >100dB at 150Hz - all critical for precision analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The LT1236BIS8-5#PBF uses a subsurface buried zener diode structure-eliminating surface-breakdown noise and drift-to achieve superior long-term stability (20ppm/1000hrs) and low thermal hysteresis (10ppm). Its architecture supports both series-mode (3-terminal) and shunt-mode (2-terminal) operation without external components.
Unlike bandgap references, it avoids on-chip heaters while maintaining 5ppm/°C max TC across –40°C to 85°C. Pin-compatible with AD586 and AD587, it enables drop-in upgrades in legacy designs requiring improved noise (<3µVP-P) and line regulation (≤12ppm/V over 7.2–10V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±5mV (guaranteed at 25°C; ensures 12-bit DAC full-scale accuracy over temperature) |
| Temp Coefficient | 5ppm/°C max (≤0.2mV drift over –40°C to 85°C; meets 0.5LSB error budget in 12-bit systems) |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | <3µVP-P (equivalent to 0.6ppm of 5V; enables sub-16-bit resolution in low-frequency measurements) |
| Load Regulation | 20ppm/mA max sourcing (≤0.1mV shift per mA load change; maintains accuracy under dynamic current demand) |
| Line Regulation | 12ppm/V max (7.2–10V input range; rejects supply ripple without additional filtering) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade; validated for embedded instrumentation and factory automation) |
| Ripple Rejection | >100dB at 150Hz (suppresses switching regulator noise; eliminates need for post-regulator LC filters) |
Pinout & Package
LT1236BIS8-5#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8) package with internally connected NC pins. External circuitry must not be connected to pins 1, 3, 4, and 6 per manufacturer specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (NC) | No Connect | Internally tied off; no external connection permitted - prevents parasitic coupling or thermal stress |
| Pin 2 (VIN) | Input Supply | Accepts 6V–40V; minimum 1V headroom required for regulation - sets operating margin for unregulated supplies |
| Pin 3 (NC) | No Connect | Internally tied off; floating connection risks ESD damage or noise injection |
| Pin 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Carries only ~1mA in series mode - used as Kelvin sense point to eliminate ground-loop errors |
| Pin 5 (NC) | No Connect | Internally tied off; violation causes parametric shift or latch-up |
| Pin 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally tied off; PCB layout must avoid routing traces or vias to this pad |
| Pin 7 (VOUT) | Reference Output | Delivers regulated 5V; sources/sinks ±10mA - enables direct drive of ADC REF inputs or op-amp bias networks |
| Pin 8 (TRIM) | Voltage Adjustment | 100kΩ input impedance; 13:1 attenuation to output - allows ±70mV trim range while minimizing TC degradation |
Key Features

| Ultra-low 0.1–10Hz noise | <3µVP-P output noise - supports 16-bit+ resolution in weigh scales and digital voltmeters |
| High PSRR & line regulation | >100dB ripple rejection at 150Hz and ≤12ppm/V line regulation - removes need for LDO pre-regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD586KRZ | 5V output, 10ppm/°C max TC, 0.05% initial accuracy, SO-8 package; higher 5µVP-P noise vs. LT1236BIS8-5#PBF's 3µVP-P | Valid for general-purpose 12-bit systems but marginal for 16-bit metrology due to noise and TC | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ultra-low noise requirements and ADI supply chain preference applies |
| REF5050AIDR | 5V output, 3ppm/°C max TC, 0.02% initial accuracy, SO-8; lower noise (2.2µVP-P) but requires ≥2.5V headroom vs. LT1236BIS8-5#PBF's 1V | Better for battery-powered precision instruments needing lowest possible drift, but incompatible with low-headroom supplies | Select when ultimate TC performance is mandatory and input voltage allows ≥7.5V minimum supply |
Compared with AD586KRZ and REF5050AIDR, LT1236BIS8-5#PBF offers the optimal balance of ultra-low noise (<3µVP-P), robust 1V dropout, and industrial temperature qualification - making it preferred for space-constrained, wide-input industrial DAQ where supply headroom and long-term stability are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current LT1236BIS8-5#PBF can source or sink while maintaining regulation?
LT1236BIS8-5#PBF can source or sink up to ±10mA while maintaining output regulation within specifications. At ±10mA load, the device exhibits ≤20ppm/mA load regulation - translating to ≤0.1mV deviation from nominal 5.000V. Exceeding this current may cause output droop or thermal overload, especially above 85°C ambient.
Does LT1236BIS8-5#PBF support shunt-mode operation like a two-terminal zener diode?
Yes, LT1236BIS8-5#PBF supports true shunt-mode operation: with VIN left open, it regulates 5V between VOUT and GND using only 1.5mA minimum shunt current. This enables direct replacement of discrete zeners in legacy designs while retaining 0.05% accuracy and 5ppm/°C TC - unlike standard zeners which degrade with temperature and age.
How does the TRIM pin on LT1236BIS8-5#PBF function, and what is its impact on temperature coefficient?
The TRIM pin on LT1236BIS8-5#PBF has 100kΩ input impedance and 13:1 attenuation to VOUT, enabling ±70mV output adjustment. When driven from a ≤3kΩ source, trimming introduces ≤1ppm/°C TC shift - verified in the "A" grade. For LT1236BIS8-5#PBF, this allows fine calibration without compromising its 5ppm/°C max TC specification across –40°C to 85°C.
Can LT1236BIS8-5#PBF operate from a 5.5V supply, and what is the minimum input-to-output differential?
Yes, LT1236BIS8-5#PBF operates from a 5.5V supply: its minimum input-to-output differential is 1V, so 6V is the absolute minimum for guaranteed regulation. At 5.5V input, regulation is maintained down to 5.0V output only under light loads and room temperature; for full-spec operation across temperature and load, ≥6V input is required per datasheet limits.
What is the long-term stability specification for LT1236BIS8-5#PBF, and how is it measured?
LT1236BIS8-5#PBF has a long-term stability of 20ppm over 1000 hours (non-cumulative), measured per JEDEC JESD22-A117. This reflects typical logarithmic drift behavior: first 1000 hours show largest change, with subsequent intervals exhibiting progressively smaller shifts. Preconditioning via 125°C burn-in further reduces long-term drift, making LT1236BIS8-5#PBF suitable for 10+ year field deployments.
