Product details
Overview
LT1461AIS8-3.3#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 zero load - used in high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing, portable instrumentation, and precision regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF application, or LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed –40°C to +85°C operation, shutdown control capability, thermal hysteresis of 75ppm over –40°C to +85°C, and SO-8 package compatibility with standard PCB layout practices for stress-sensitive analog systems.
Technical Context
The LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF implements curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve its 3ppm/°C tempco and 0.04% initial accuracy. Its internal shutdown logic responds to Pin 3 (SHDN) voltage thresholds: ≥2.4V enables normal operation; ≤0.8V forces shutdown with ≤35µA quiescent current.
It maintains load regulation of 12ppm/mA (typical) and line regulation of 2ppm/V (typical) across its specified input range (VOUT + 0.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 20V), while thermal regulation remains negligible under steady-state conditions - critical for minimizing system error budgets in 16-bit data acquisition systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±0.04% - ensures stable reference for 14–16-bit converter full-scale calibration without trimming. |
| Tempco | 3ppm/°C max - limits drift to <±0.26mV over –40°C to +85°C ambient, supporting industrial-grade accuracy. |
| Supply Current | 35µA typ - enables multi-year battery life in handheld meters and IoT sensor nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.13V at 1mA load - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) while maintaining full spec performance. |
| Output Drive | 50mA min - supports direct driving of op-amp bias networks, DAC reference inputs, and low-impedance regulator error amplifiers. |
| Shutdown Current | 25µA max - reduces system standby power without external switching circuitry. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 8ppmP-P - contributes <±0.026mV peak-to-peak error in precision DC measurement paths. |
Pinout & Package
LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF uses 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 when the notch faces upward.
| 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 for regulation; accepts up to 20V. |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; drives <4µA at logic low (≤0.8V); floats or ≥2.4V for enable. |
| 4 | DNC | Do Not Connect - internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| 5 | DNC | Do Not Connect - no internal connection; avoid routing traces or vias. |
| 6 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output; requires ≥2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability under >1mA loads. |
| 7 | DNC | Do Not Connect - reserved; floating connection prevents parasitic coupling. |
| 8 | DNC | Do Not Connect - electrically isolated; ties to package thermal pad only if modified design. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout voltage | 0.06V at zero load enables use with ultra-low-voltage sources like coin cells or energy-harvesting outputs. |
| Shutdown control | Pin 3 toggles full 50mA output drive on/off, enabling system-level power sequencing without external MOSFETs. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature, preventing permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |

|---|---|---|---|
| REF3033AIDBZR | 3.3V, 0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C tempco, 50µA supply current, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks shutdown pin; lower accuracy/tempco spec; smaller footprint but no thermal hysteresis data published | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where ±0.2% accuracy suffices and shutdown is handled externally. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF is 20V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable regulation, VIN must be ≥(VOUT + 0.5V) = 3.8V minimum, and the recommended operating range is 3.8V to 20V with proper input bypassing.
Does LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF require external capacitors, and if so, what values?
Yes, LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF requires both input and output capacitors. A minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor is needed at VIN (bypass), and ≥2µF ceramic is required at VOUT for stability under loads >1mA. The datasheet confirms that omitting the output capacitor causes instability, especially during load transients up to 50mA.
How does the shutdown function operate on LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF?
The shutdown pin (Pin 3) of LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF is active-low: applying ≤0.8V disables the reference output and reduces supply current to ≤35µA, while ≥2.4V enables full operation. The part functions normally with Pin 3 left open (high-impedance), drawing only 35µA quiescent current - no pull-up resistor is required.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF?
LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF exhibits 75ppm thermal hysteresis over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value represents the maximum output voltage shift observed after cycling between extremes and returning to 25°C - a critical parameter for systems requiring repeatable calibration across thermal cycles.
Is LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
No, LT1461AIS8-3.3#TRPBF is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Analog Devices offers the LT1461DHS8-3.3#WTRPBF variant, which carries the #W suffix and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C) requirements with full automotive reliability reporting.
