Product details
Overview
LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision 5V voltage reference IC based on a buried zener diode structure, delivering ultra-low temperature drift (10–15 ppm/°C max), high initial accuracy (±0.05%), and sub-1ppmP-P low-frequency noise (0.1Hz–10Hz). It operates in both series and shunt modes, sources/sinks up to 10mA, and is rated for industrial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) in an 8-lead SOIC package - ideal for high-resolution data acquisition systems requiring stable excitation or calibration references.
For engineers reviewing the LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF application, or LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output temperature coefficient, long-term stability (20 ppm over 1000 hours), load regulation (≤100 ppm/mA), ripple rejection (>100 dB), and compatibility with precision ADC/DAC biasing, inertial navigation references, and digital voltmeter front-ends.
Technical Context
The LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF uses a subsurface zener architecture that eliminates surface-breakdown noise and improves thermal hysteresis performance versus bandgap references. Its two-terminal shunt mode operation enables use as a precision zener replacement, while three-terminal series mode supports active sourcing/sinking with minimal input-output differential (≥1V).
Thermal regulation effects are minimized via internal design optimizations - no on-chip heater is used - and the device exhibits <5 ppm hysteresis over ±25°C cycling. Output voltage trimming is not supported on the -5V variant, distinguishing it from the LT1236-10 family which includes a dedicated TRIM pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.995 V to 5.005 V at 25°C - ensures ≤0.1% absolute error across grade C, enabling direct use in 12-bit+ systems without post-calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | 10–15 ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - contributes ≤0.5 LSB error in 12-bit systems over 40°C span, meeting stringent metrology requirements. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 3.0 µVP-P (≈0.6 ppm of 5V) - enables high-fidelity DC measurements in strain gauge, precision scale, and sensor signal conditioning. |
| Load Regulation | ≤100 ppm/mA (sourcing), ≤150 ppm/mA (sinking) - maintains stability under dynamic load shifts typical in multiplexed ADC reference rails. |
| Ripple Rejection | >100 dB at 150 Hz - suppresses switching regulator noise in mixed-signal PCBs without external filtering. |
| Long-Term Stability | 20 ppm over 1000 hours - reduces recalibration frequency in field-deployed instrumentation and test equipment. |
| Supply Current | 0.8–1.5 mA - allows low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained embedded measurement nodes. |
Pinout & Package
LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and JEDEC MS-012AC compliance. Pins 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 are internally connected and must remain unconnected externally per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 2 (VIN) | Input supply terminal | Accepts 6–40 V input; requires ≥1 V headroom above 5 V output for regulation in series mode. |
| Pin 5 (GND) | Reference ground | Carries only ~1 mA quiescent current; suitable as Kelvin sense point to minimize ground-loop errors. |
| Pin 8 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers precise 5 V; capable of sourcing/sinking up to 10 mA with minimal load regulation error. |
| Pin 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Internally bonded but electrically isolated - must be left floating; connecting risks parametric shift or damage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buried zener core | Eliminates surface breakdown noise and drift instability - delivers superior time/temperature stability vs. bandgap or surface-zener references. |
| Series/shunt dual-mode operation | Enables flexible system integration: series mode for active regulation, shunt mode for simple 2-terminal replacement of legacy zeners. |
| High PSRR & low thermal hysteresis | 100+ dB ripple rejection + ≤10 ppm hysteresis - preserves accuracy in thermally cycled or noisy power environments. |
| Industrial temperature rating | 0°C to 70°C operation (CC grade) - qualified for factory automation, PLC I/O modules, and industrial test gear without derating. |
| 100% noise tested | Guaranteed sub-3 µVP-P (0.1–10 Hz) - ensures consistent low-noise performance across production lots for metrology-critical designs. |
Applications
| High-Resolution Data Acquisition | Precision Regulator Reference |

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#TRPBF | Lower tempco (2 ppm/°C max), tighter initial accuracy (±0.02%), higher cost; no shunt-mode capability. | Suitable where ultra-stable lab-grade calibration is required, but incompatible with 2-terminal zener replacement use cases. | Select when drift budget is <2 ppm/°C and shunt operation is unnecessary; avoid if board must support dual-mode topology. |
| ADR445BRZ-REEL7 | Bandgap-based, 3 ppm/°C max, 0.04% initial accuracy, 1.8 µVRMS (0.1–10 Hz); requires ≥2.5 V headroom. | Better for low-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V rails); lacks shunt-mode operation and buried-zener noise immunity. | Prefer for space-constrained, low-headroom designs where long-term stability >20 ppm/1000h is acceptable. |
Compared with LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF, LT1027CS8-5#TRPBF offers lower drift but sacrifices shunt flexibility, while ADR445BRZ-REEL7 trades buried-zener noise performance for smaller headroom and lower cost - making LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF optimal for dual-mode, low-noise industrial instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF can source or sink?
LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF can source or sink up to 10 mA while maintaining specified load regulation (≤100 ppm/mA for sourcing). Exceeding this current may degrade output accuracy and increase thermal drift. The device remains functional beyond 10 mA but requires external buffering for higher loads, as shown in typical application TA05 and TA06 using a PNP boost transistor.
Does LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF support output voltage trimming?
No, LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF does not have a functional trim pin. Unlike the LT1236-10 variants, the -5V version lacks a dedicated TRIM terminal (Pin 5 is GND, not trim). Trimming must be implemented externally using resistor networks or op-amp summing configurations - but doing so risks degrading temperature coefficient and long-term stability.
Can LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF operate in shunt mode like a two-terminal zener diode?
Yes, LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF supports shunt-mode operation: connect VIN to VOUT and apply load between VOUT and GND. In this configuration, it regulates with the same precision as in series mode, though minimum shunt current is not specified for the -5V version - unlike the -10V variant which specifies 1.1–1.7 mA minimum.
What is the recommended input voltage range for LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF?
The recommended input voltage range for LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF is 6 V to 40 V. A minimum 1 V differential (VIN – VOUT) is required for regulation; operating below 6 V risks dropout and loss of regulation. For optimal line regulation, maintain VIN between 7.2 V and 10 V (4–12 ppm/V) or 10 V to 40 V (2–6 ppm/V).
Is LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF pin-compatible with AD586 or AD587?
Yes, LT1236CCS8-5#TRPBF is explicitly stated as pin-compatible with AD586 and AD587 in the datasheet Features section. All share the same 8-pin SOIC footprint and identical pin functions (VIN, GND, VOUT, NC), enabling drop-in replacement in legacy designs - provided thermal and layout constraints (e.g., Kelvin grounding, airflow shielding) are preserved to maintain low-noise performance.
