Product details
Overview
LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a micropower precision low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 3.3V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 35µA supply current, 50mA output drive, and <300mV dropout at full load-used in high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing, portable instrumentation, and precision regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF application, or LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0°C to 70°C operation, SO-8 package thermal performance, shutdown control interface, and compatibility with 2µF output capacitance for stability in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF employs curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve its 3ppm/°C tempco and 0.04% initial accuracy. Its internal thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature, protecting against overload-induced drift.
It features active shutdown control (Pin 3), drawing ≤35µA in shutdown mode while maintaining full 50mA sourcing capability when enabled. Load regulation is specified at 12ppm/mA (typical), and line regulation is ≤8ppm/V across 0.5V–20V input range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±0.04% (±1.32mV) - enables direct interface with 3.3V logic and ADC reference inputs without scaling. |
| Tempco | 3ppm/°C max - ensures ≤0.99mV drift over 0°C–70°C ambient, critical for 16-bit system accuracy. |
| Supply Current | 35µA typ - supports multi-year battery life in handheld meters and IoT sensor nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤300mV at 50mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) while sustaining full reference performance. |
| Output Drive | 50mA min - drives precision op-amp buffers, DAC reference inputs, and series-pass transistor bases directly. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤35µA - enables system-level power gating without external switches or leakage concerns. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 8ppmP-P (26.4µVP-P) - contributes <0.001% error in 16-bit (65536 LSB) conversions. |
Pinout & Package
LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8) package with θJA = 190°C/W and maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the package notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return; must be connected to low-impedance analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2 | VIN | Input supply pin; requires ≥0.5V headroom above VOUT and accepts up to 20V; bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; logic low (<0.8V) disables output and reduces supply current to ≤35µA. |
| 4–5, 7–8 | DNC | Do Not Connect - internally unused; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 6 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output; requires ≥2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability under 50mA load steps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-compensated bandgap | Enables 3ppm/°C tempco without external trimming, reducing calibration overhead in production test. |
| Trimmed thin-film resistors | Deliver 0.04% initial accuracy - eliminates need for post-package laser trimming in most applications. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature, preventing permanent parametric shift during transient overloads. |
| Low dropout design | Maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.3V - extends usable battery voltage range by >15% vs standard references. |
| High output current | Sources 50mA continuously - eliminates external buffer stages in precision regulator feedback loops. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3333AIDBVR | 3.3V, 30ppm/°C max, 4µA supply current, 5mA output drive, SOT-23-5 package | Limited to low-power, low-drive applications; unsuitable for precision regulators or high-current buffering | Select when ultra-low quiescent current dominates over accuracy and drive capability |
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | 3.3V, 10ppm/°C max, 120µA supply current, 15mA output drive, SOT-23-6 package | Higher supply current and lower output drive; no shutdown pin | Select when tighter tempco is required but shutdown control and 50mA drive are not needed |
Compared with REF3333AIDBVR and ADR3433ARJZ-R7, the LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF provides superior initial accuracy (0.04% vs ≥0.1%), higher output drive (50mA vs ≤15mA), and integrated shutdown-making it optimal for precision regulator feedback and portable instrumentation where both low power and high fidelity are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF is 20V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, VIN should remain ≤20V and maintain at least 0.5V headroom above VOUT (i.e., ≥3.8V) under all conditions, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Does LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF require external capacitors?
Yes, LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF requires both input and output capacitors for stability. A 1µF ceramic capacitor on VIN and a minimum 2µF ceramic capacitor on VOUT are mandatory per the Applications Information section. Omitting the output capacitor causes instability and excessive noise, especially under dynamic load conditions.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF?
LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation (Commercial grade). While the device remains functional from –40°C to 125°C per Absolute Maximum Ratings, only parameters tested and guaranteed within 0°C to 70°C are valid for production design-such as 0.04% initial accuracy and 3ppm/°C tempco.
How does the shutdown feature work on LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF?
The shutdown pin (Pin 3) is active-low. Driving it below 0.8V disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤35µA. The part resumes normal operation within ~200µs after SHDN rises above 2.4V. During shutdown, VOUT is high-impedance-not actively pulled low-so external pull-down may be needed if zero-voltage output is required.
Can LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF drive a 50mA load continuously?
Yes, LT1461ACS8-3.3#TRPBF is rated for continuous 50mA sourcing under specified thermal conditions. However, power dissipation (PD = (VIN – 3.3V) × 50mA) must be managed: at VIN = 5.3V, PD = 100mW, resulting in ~19°C junction rise in SO-8. Higher VIN or ambient temperature requires derating or heatsinking to stay below 150°C junction limit.
