Product details
Overview
LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a micropower precision low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 3.0V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35µA typical supply current. It supports up to 50mA output drive with <300mV dropout at full load and features shutdown control and thermal limiting - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF datasheet, LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF pinout, LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF application, or LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SO-8 package layout, real-world thermal regulation behavior, and validated alternatives for precision analog system design.
Technical Context
The LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF uses curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 3ppm/°C tempco and 0.04% output tolerance over 0°C to 70°C. Its internal shutdown circuit enables logic-controlled power-down with ≤35µA quiescent current in sleep mode.
It maintains stable 3.0V reference performance under load currents up to 50mA while exhibiting <12ppm/mA load regulation and <8ppm/V line regulation - critical for precision regulator feedback paths and high-resolution data converter references where thermal and supply-induced errors must remain sub-100ppm.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0V ±0.04% (±1.2mV) - enables direct interface with 12-bit+ SAR ADCs without trimming |
| Tempco | 3ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - ensures <±210ppm drift across industrial ambient range |
| Supply Current | 35µA typ, 50µA max - supports >1-year battery life in µA-scale portable systems |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤300mV at 50mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) with full accuracy |
| Output Drive | 50mA min sourcing - drives op-amp buffers, DAC reference inputs, and precision LDO error amps |
| Shutdown Current | ≤35µA at VSHDN ≤0.5V - enables system-level power gating without external switches |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 8ppmP-P (24µVP-P) - negligible contribution to 16-bit ADC effective resolution |
Pinout & Package
LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8) package with exposed pad not connected. Pin 1 is bottom-left corner when notch faces up; leads are gull-wing, 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected - must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 2 (VIN) | Input Supply | Accepts 3.3V–20V input; dropout headroom as low as 300mV required for full spec compliance |
| 3 (SHDN) | Shutdown Control | Active-low logic input; ≥2.4V = active, ≤0.5V = shutdown; draws ≤4µA leakage |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground | Primary return path for reference output and internal bandgap - must tie to clean AGND plane |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected - no routing or soldering required |
| 6 (VOUT) | Reference Output | Stable 3.0V source; requires ≥2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability at full 50mA load |
| 7 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected - leave unconnected |
| 8 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected - leave unconnected |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3030AIDBZR | 3.0V, 50ppm/°C max tempco, 50µA supply current, SOT-23-3 package | Limited to 25mA output; no shutdown pin; smaller footprint but higher thermal sensitivity | Choose for space-constrained designs where 50ppm/°C drift is acceptable and shutdown is handled externally |
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | 3.0V, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 120µA supply current, SOT-23-5 package with enable | Higher accuracy and lower noise but 3.4× higher supply current; no thermal shutdown | Choose when sub-10ppm/°C stability is mandatory and system can support higher quiescent power |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF while maintaining full specification?
The LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF guarantees 50mA minimum sourcing capability with ≤300mV dropout and <12ppm/mA load regulation. At 50mA, output voltage change remains within ±0.6mV (200ppm of 3.0V). Exceeding 50mA may trigger thermal shutdown depending on PCB thermal design and ambient temperature - verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the official datasheet.
Does the LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF require external capacitors, and if so, what values are recommended?
Yes, the LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF requires both input and output capacitors for stability. A 1µF ceramic capacitor on VIN (Pin 2) is sufficient if shared with nearby ICs; a minimum 2µF ceramic capacitor on VOUT (Pin 6) is mandatory for loads ≥1mA. For 50mA loads, 2–10µF X7R ceramics are recommended to maintain transient response and PSRR above 60dB below 10kHz.
How does the shutdown feature of the LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF operate, and what is its leakage behavior?
The LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF shutdown pin (Pin 3) is active-low: logic high (≥2.4V) enables normal operation; logic low (≤0.5V) disables output and reduces supply current to ≤35µA. Input leakage is ≤4µA at 0.8V and ≤2µA at 2.4V. The part powers up in ~200µs after SHDN returns high, with monotonic VOUT rise and no overshoot - confirmed in Figure 3 of the datasheet.
What is the thermal hysteresis performance of the LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF over its specified temperature range?
For the LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF (A-grade, 0°C to 70°C), thermal hysteresis is ≤40ppm across 0°C ↔ 70°C cycling, measured at 25°C after each extreme. This value reflects worst-case package stress effects on the bandgap core and is independent of long-term drift. Hysteresis increases to 75ppm for –40°C ↔ 85°C (I-grade) and 120ppm for –40°C ↔ 125°C (H-grade) variants.
Can the LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF be used in automotive applications, and what qualification does it hold?
The LT1461ACS8-3#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Analog Devices offers the LT1461DHS8-3#TRPBF (–40°C to 125°C, AEC-Q100 Grade 1) and LT1461DHS8-3#WTRPBF (automotive-specific with enhanced reliability testing). These variants share identical electrical specs but differ in temperature range, tempco (20ppm/°C max), and qualification documentation.
