Product details
Overview
LT1460EIS8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an industrial-grade micropower precision series voltage reference delivering 5.000V ±0.125% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over –40°C to 85°C, and stable operation with up to 20mA output current. It requires no output capacitor and features reverse battery protection, making it suitable for portable instrumentation and high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF datasheet, LT1460EIS8-5#PBF pinout, LT1460EIS8-5#PBF application, or LT1460EIS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (0.9V min), supply current (175µA typ), load regulation (140ppm/mA at 20mA), thermal regulation (2.5ppm/mW), and stability with capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LT1460EIS8-5#PBF employs curvature-compensated bandgap architecture to achieve low drift and high accuracy. Its internal thin-film resistor trimming enables 0.125% initial tolerance, and it operates across a wide input range (VOUT + 0.9V to 30V) while maintaining line regulation of ≤35ppm/V above VOUT + 2.5V.
Designed as a three-terminal series reference, it sinks zero quiescent current into ground and sources up to 20mA to the load. The device exhibits 20ppm/°C tempco over its full –40°C to 85°C operating range and delivers 5V output with 20µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz) noise performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±0.125% (4.99375V to 5.00625V) - ensures precise biasing for 16-bit+ data converters |
| Tempco | 20ppm/°C max (–40°C to 85°C) - guarantees <±1mV drift over full industrial range |
| Supply Current | 175µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in handheld meters |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.9V min (IOUT = 0) - supports operation from low-voltage rails like 5.9V supplies |

| Line Regulation | 35ppm/V max (VIN ≥ VOUT + 2.5V) - holds output stable despite input rail variation |
| Noise (10Hz–1kHz) | 20µVRMS - avoids quantization noise floor degradation in 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs |
Pinout & Package
LT1460EIS8-5#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package (S8), with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is VIN, Pin 2 is VOUT, Pin 3 is GND; Pins 4–8 are internally connected no-connects and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input Supply | Accepts 5.9V to 30V DC; minimum headroom 0.9V above VOUT |
| 2 (VOUT) | Reference Output | 5.000V regulated source; stable with 0–1µF capacitive loads |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for load current; no ground-sink current required |
| 4–8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally bonded; must be left floating - no external connection allowed |
Key Features

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5050IDR | 5.000V output, 0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 100µA supply current, SO-8 package | Higher accuracy and lower drift but requires 1µF output capacitor for stability | Preferred when long-term stability (<10ppm/√kHr) and ultra-low drift dominate over board space constraints |
| ADR4550BRZ | 5.000V output, 0.02% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max tempco, 950µA supply current, SO-8 package | Superior precision and noise (1.2µVRMS) but higher quiescent current and no reverse-battery protection | Selected for metrology-grade systems where power budget allows and absolute lowest noise is critical |
Compared with REF5050IDR and ADR4550BRZ, the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF offers unique value in battery-operated instruments via its 175µA supply current, capacitorless operation, and reverse-battery immunity - trading minor accuracy for robustness and efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF?
The LT1460EIS8-5#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 30V. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, input voltage should remain within VOUT + 0.9V to 20V per datasheet recommendations, ensuring optimal line regulation and thermal performance.
Does the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF is designed to be stable without any output capacitor and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 1µF. This eliminates the need for external compensation components, reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB area - a key advantage over many competing references that mandate minimum output capacitance.
What is the guaranteed temperature range for the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF?
The LT1460EIS8-5#PBF is specified for operation across the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. All electrical parameters - including initial accuracy (±0.125%), temperature coefficient (20ppm/°C max), and load regulation - are guaranteed over this full range, not just at 25°C.
How much output current can the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF source continuously?
The LT1460EIS8-5#PBF is rated to source up to 20mA of continuous output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. Short-circuit current capability exceeds 40mA, but sustained operation above 20mA may degrade long-term stability and increase thermal drift due to die heating.
Is the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF protected against reverse battery connections?
Yes, the LT1460EIS8-5#PBF provides inherent reverse battery protection: it blocks conduction when input voltage falls below –15V, preventing damage during accidental reverse polarity connection. This feature is built into the internal topology and requires no external diodes or protection circuitry.
