Product details
Overview
LT1460DCS8-10#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower precision series voltage reference delivering 10.000 V ±0.10% initial accuracy, 20 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over 0°C to 70°C, and stable operation with capacitive loads up to 1 µF - ideal for high-resolution ADCs, portable instrumentation, and industrial power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF datasheet, LT1460DCS8-10#PBF pinout, LT1460DCS8-10#PBF application, or LT1460DCS8-10#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (0.9 V min), supply current (270 µA typ at 10 V output), reverse battery protection, and no-output-capacitor-required stability in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT1460DCS8-10#PBF uses curvature-compensated bandgap architecture to achieve low drift and high accuracy without external compensation. It operates as a three-terminal series reference with input, output, and ground pins, requiring only VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.9 V for regulation.
Its internal thin-film resistor trimming enables 0.10% initial tolerance, while guaranteed thermal performance extends to 70°C ambient. The device supports sourcing up to 20 mA load current with ≤140 ppm/mA load regulation at full scale and exhibits 10 ppm/V line regulation above 2.5 V headroom.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10.000 V ±0.10% (9.990 V to 10.010 V) - ensures precise scaling in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems |
| Temp Coefficient | 20 ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - maintains <±200 µV drift across commercial temperature range |
| Supply Current | 270 µA typical at 10 V output - enables multi-year battery life in handheld meters |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.9 V min (VIN – VOUT) - allows operation from low-headroom supplies like Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) with LDO pre-regulation |
| Load Regulation | 140 ppm/mA max (0–20 mA) - limits output shift to <1.4 mV under full load variation |
| Line Regulation | 10 ppm/V (VIN ≥ VOUT + 2.5 V) - rejects supply ripple better than 0.001%/V in clean DC rails |
| Output Noise | 40 µVP-P (0.1–10 Hz), 35 µVRMS (10 Hz–1 kHz) - avoids noise-induced quantization errors in precision DACs |
Pinout & Package
LT1460DCS8-10#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package (S8), with exposed pad not connected. Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = VOUT, Pin 3 = GND; Pins 4–8 are internally connected no-connect (DNC) terminals - external circuitry must not be attached to these pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input Supply Terminal | Accepts 10.9 V to 30 V input; minimum differential of 0.9 V required for regulation |
| 2 (VOUT) | Regulated Output Terminal | Delivers stable 10.000 V ±0.10%; sinks or sources up to 20 mA with minimal impedance |
| 3 (GND) | Reference Ground | Return path for internal bias and load current; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 4–8 (DNC) | No-Connect Internally | Internally bonded but unconnected - floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; no signal routing permitted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Stable with 0–1 µF capacitive loads - eliminates board area and cost of external COUT, accelerates settling in fast-sampling systems |
| Reverse battery protection | Zero conduction at –15 V input - prevents damage during field maintenance or incorrect battery insertion in portable equipment |
| Micropower operation | 270 µA typical supply current - extends shelf life and runtime in always-on sensor nodes and IoT edge devices |
| Trimmed thin-film resistors | 0.10% initial accuracy (100 ppm) - reduces calibration steps in production test for medical and test equipment |
| Guaranteed 125°C junction temp | TJMAX = 125°C with θJA = 190°C/W - supports reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced air |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision series reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF102CP | 10 V output, 0.1% initial accuracy, 25 ppm/°C TC, 350 µA supply current, SO-8 package | Higher supply current and TC; requires 1 µF output capacitor for stability | Choose REF102CP only if legacy design reuse or TI ecosystem alignment is required; higher power and less stable under capacitive loads |
| ADR445BRZ | 10 V output, 0.04% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C TC, 800 µA supply current, SO-8 package | Lower noise (1.8 µVRMS) and drift, but 3× higher supply current and 2× higher cost | Choose ADR445BRZ when ultra-low drift (<10 ppm total over 0–70°C) justifies added power and BOM cost in lab-grade instruments |
Compared with REF102CP and ADR445BRZ, the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF delivers optimal balance of micropower efficiency (270 µA), capacitor-free stability, and 0.10% accuracy - making it preferred for battery-operated, space-constrained, and cost-sensitive industrial measurement designs where sub-ppm drift is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF?
The LT1460DCS8-10#PBF can source up to 20 mA continuously while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. Short-circuit current capability is rated at 40 mA. Operation beyond 20 mA may degrade line/load regulation and increase output drift due to self-heating - design margins should maintain ≤15 mA for worst-case thermal conditions.
Does the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF is internally compensated and stable with 0–1 µF capacitive loads without external components. This eliminates board space, cost, and potential ringing issues associated with output capacitors - a key advantage over shunt references and many competing series references that mandate ≥1 µF COUT.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation of the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF?
The LT1460DCS8-10#PBF requires a minimum input-to-output differential voltage of 0.9 V to maintain regulation. For its 10.000 V nominal output, VIN must be ≥10.9 V. Below this threshold, output voltage collapses linearly with input - this dropout behavior is fully characterized and guaranteed across temperature.
How does reverse battery protection work in the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF?
The LT1460DCS8-10#PBF incorporates internal reverse-polarity protection circuitry that blocks conduction when VIN is negative relative to GND. At –15 V input, reverse leakage is limited to ≤10 µA - preventing damage during accidental battery reversal in field-deployed handheld instruments and ensuring system-level safety compliance.
Is the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the LT1460DCS8-10#PBF carries the #PBF suffix indicating lead-free finish and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Its plastic SO-8 package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, requiring no baking prior to assembly.
