Product details
Overview
LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a micropower precision low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 4.096V output with ±0.04% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35µA supply current. It features 50mA output drive, <300mV dropout at 50mA, and shutdown control - enabling high-accuracy analog signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and precision ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF datasheet, LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF pinout, LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF application, or LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SO-8 pin mapping, thermal regulation behavior, load/line regulation performance, and validated automotive-grade alternatives for design-in confidence.
Technical Context
The LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF employs curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 3ppm/°C tempco and 0.04% initial accuracy over 0°C to 70°C. Its internal thermal shutdown (TJMAX = 150°C) and shutdown pin (Pin 3) enable safe power cycling in precision regulator configurations.
It operates as a 2-terminal series reference with VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.06V (no load) to 20V, supporting stable 4.096V reference generation under varying line (2–12 ppm/V), load (12 ppm/mA), and thermal conditions - critical for 16-bit data acquisition systems requiring minimal system error budget contribution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.04% (±1.64mV) - enables direct interface with 12-bit ADCs using 4.096V full-scale range without scaling. |
| Tempco | 3ppm/°C max (0°C to 70°C) - contributes ≤210ppm (0.86mV) drift across industrial temperature span, preserving 16-bit LSB stability. |
| Supply Current | 35µA typical - allows continuous operation for >10 years on a single CR2032 coin cell in low-duty-cycle sensor nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.3V max at 50mA - supports operation from 4.396V input, maximizing usable battery voltage in 4.5V nominal systems. |
| Output Drive | 50mA sourcing - directly powers op-amp bias networks, DAC reference inputs, and small LDO error amplifiers without buffering. |
| Shutdown Current | 35µA max - reduces standby power by >99% vs active mode, enabling aggressive power gating in portable instruments. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 8ppmP-P (33µVP-P) - sub-LSB noise floor for 16-bit 4.096V systems (1 LSB = 63µV). |
Pinout & Package
LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8) package with θJA = 190°C/W and lead-free finish. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner when the notch faces up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return path; must be connected to clean analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2 | VIN | Input supply terminal; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 inches of pin to ensure stability. |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; logic low (<0.5V) disables output and reduces supply current to ≤35µA. |
| 4 | DNC | Do Not Connect - internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND only if required by layout constraints. |
| 5 | DNC | Do Not Connect - no internal connection; avoid routing traces or vias to this pad. |
| 6 | VOUT | Regulated 4.096V output; requires ≥2µF output capacitor (X7R ceramic) for stability under 50mA loads. |
| 7 | DNC | Do Not Connect - unused internal node; leave unconnected per datasheet guidance. |
| 8 | DNC | Do Not Connect - electrically isolated; no external connection permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 35µA supply current enables multi-year battery life in handheld meters and IoT edge sensors. |
| Low dropout | 0.3V max dropout at 50mA allows operation from single Li-ion cells down to 3.7V while maintaining full 4.096V accuracy. |
| High output drive | 50mA sourcing capability eliminates need for external buffer op-amps in precision regulator feedback paths. |
| Thermal shutdown | 150°C junction limit prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking - critical for unattended industrial deployments. |
| Trimmed thin-film resistors | Enables 0.04% initial accuracy without post-package calibration, reducing test time and BOM cost in high-volume production. |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF while maintaining specified accuracy?
The LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF guarantees 50mA minimum output current with ≤12ppm/mA load regulation. At 50mA, output deviation remains within ±600ppm (±2.46mV) of 4.096V, preserving 12-bit accuracy. Exceeding 50mA risks thermal shutdown activation above 150°C junction temperature.
Does the LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes - the LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF requires both input and output capacitors for stability. A minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor (X7R) is required on VIN (Pin 2), and ≥2µF ceramic (X7R) on VOUT (Pin 6) for loads up to 50mA. These values prevent oscillation and ensure fast transient response during load steps.
How does the shutdown feature of the LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF operate, and what is its leakage impact?
The LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF enters shutdown when Pin 3 (SHDN) is pulled below 0.5V, reducing supply current to ≤35µA. In shutdown, VOUT is disabled and sinks negligible current. The SHDN pin draws ≤4µA when low, enabling direct interface with microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting.
Is the LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF suitable for automotive applications, and what qualifications does it hold?
The LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Analog Devices offers the LT1461DHS8-4#TRPBF (–40°C to 125°C, AEC-Q100 Grade 0), which shares identical electrical specs but adds automotive reliability testing and extended temperature validation.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of the LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF in SO-8 package?
The LT1461ACS8-4#TRPBF in SO-8 has θJA = 190°C/W. At 50mA load and 4.396V input (0.3V dropout), power dissipation is 15mW - resulting in <3°C junction rise above ambient. Even at worst-case 20V input, dissipation remains within thermal shutdown threshold due to internal current limiting.
