Product details
Overview
LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an industrial-grade micropower precision bandgap voltage reference delivering 2.5V ±0.10% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C, and 130µA max supply current. It supplies up to 20mA output current with 0.9V minimum input-output differential, enabling use in low-headroom precision regulators and data converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF datasheet, LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF pinout, LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF application, or LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed industrial temperature operation, no external output capacitor requirement, reverse battery protection, and stability with capacitive loads - critical for handheld instruments and battery-powered precision systems.
Technical Context
The LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF employs curvature-compensated bandgap architecture to achieve low drift and high accuracy without trimming external components. Its internal thin-film resistor network is laser-trimmed for ±0.10% output voltage tolerance across the full –40°C to +85°C range.
It operates as a three-terminal series reference with active pass element, eliminating the need for external current-setting resistors. The device maintains stability with 0–1µF capacitive loads and exhibits 10ppm/°C max TC while drawing only 130µA at 2.5V output - enabling direct replacement of shunt references in space- and power-constrained designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF02BPZ | 2.5V ±0.2% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C TC, 1.2mA supply current, TO-99 metal can | Higher power dissipation and larger footprint; suited for lab-grade equipment, not portable devices | Select REF02BPZ only when legacy TO-99 compatibility or ultra-low noise (0.8µVRMS) is prioritized over size and efficiency |
| ADR441BRZ | 2.5V ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C TC, 800µA supply current, SOIC-8 | Higher precision and lower drift but 6× higher quiescent current; requires external decoupling cap | Choose ADR441BRZ when sub-ppm stability is mandatory and board space permits larger bypass capacitor |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF?
The LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF is specified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is guaranteed by design and testing, and the device maintains its full parametric performance - including ±0.10% output accuracy and 10ppm/°C temperature coefficient - across this entire span. The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C.
Does the LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF require an external output capacitor?
No, the LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF does not require an external output capacitor and remains stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads. This eliminates board space, cost, and reliability risk associated with ceramic capacitors. The internal compensation ensures fast settling (<1.5µs to 0.1%) and immunity to capacitor aging or DC bias effects - a key differentiator versus most competing references.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF to regulate properly?
The LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF requires a minimum input-to-output differential voltage of 0.9V at zero load and 1.3V at 10mA load. Therefore, with a nominal 2.5V output, the minimum valid input voltage is 3.4V (2.5V + 0.9V). This low dropout enables operation from single-cell lithium or dual alkaline supplies without intermediate regulation.
How does reverse battery protection work in the LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF?
The LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF incorporates internal circuitry that blocks conduction when the input voltage falls below –15V, preventing reverse current flow and protecting the device from damage during incorrect battery installation. Unlike discrete diode solutions, this feature adds no forward voltage drop or leakage in normal operation and requires no external components.
Can the LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF drive a 20mA load while maintaining accuracy?
Yes, the LT1460BIN8-2.5#PBF is fully specified to supply up to 20mA output current while maintaining its guaranteed accuracy. At 20mA and 0°C to 70°C, load regulation is 70–140ppm/mA, contributing ≤±2.8mV (0.112%) error to the 2.5V output. This capability allows direct driving of multiple op-amps, ADC references, or DAC bias networks without external buffers.
