Product details
Overview
LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a precision 3.0V low-dropout micropower series voltage reference in an 8-lead SOIC package, featuring ±0.06% initial accuracy, 7ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 35µA typical supply current, 50mA output drive, and <300mV dropout at full load - deployed in high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing and portable precision regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF datasheet, LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF pinout, LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF application, or LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation from –40°C to 85°C, shutdown control capability, thermal hysteresis performance under PCB stress, and compatibility with 2µF output capacitance for stable transient response.
Technical Context
The LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF implements curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with trimmed thin-film resistors for precision, delivering 3.0V nominal output with monotonic temperature behavior across its specified industrial range. Its internal thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature, and the SHDN pin enables logic-controlled output disable with sub-35µA quiescent current in shutdown mode.
It operates as a series reference requiring input voltage ≥ (VOUT + 0.5V), supports up to 50mA sourcing load, and maintains <12ppm/mA load regulation and <8ppm/V line regulation - enabling direct use in closed-loop precision regulator feedback paths without external buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0V ±0.06% (±1.8mV) - ensures ≤12-bit INL error contribution in 12-bit ADC systems without calibration |
| Tempco | 7ppm/°C max over –40°C to 85°C - limits drift to ≤525ppm (1.575mV) across full industrial range |
| Supply Current | 35µA typ / 50µA max - enables >1-year battery life in 10µA sleep-mode IoT sensor nodes |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤300mV at 50mA load - allows operation from 3.3V rail with ≥300mV headroom, maximizing battery utilization |
| Output Drive | 50mA min sourcing - directly drives op-amp reference inputs, DAC references, and small LDO error amplifiers |
| Shutdown Current | ≤35µA at RL = 1kΩ - reduces system standby power while preserving fast wake-up (<200µs turn-on) |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 8ppmP-P (24µV P-P at 3V) - suitable for 16-bit SAR ADCs with <1LSB noise floor requirement |
Pinout & Package
LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF uses an 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC outline, 190°C/W θJA, and lead-free finish. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return - must connect to quiet analog ground plane with low-impedance path |
| 2 | VIN | Input supply - requires ≥3.3V minimum; bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control - <0.5V disables output; ≥2.4V enables normal operation |
| 4–5, 7–8 | DNC | Do Not Connect - internally unused; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 6 | VOUT | Precision 3.0V output - requires ≥2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability under 50mA loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-compensated bandgap | Enables 7ppm/°C tempco without external trimming, reducing calibration overhead in production test |
| Trimmed thin-film resistors | Delivers ±0.06% initial accuracy - eliminates need for post-package laser trimming in most applications |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Activates at ~150°C TJ to prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking - critical for unattended embedded systems |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | Accepts standard 3.3V/5V CMOS logic levels on SHDN pin - simplifies interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| High PSRR (≥60dB @ 1kHz) | Rejects switching regulator ripple and digital noise - enables clean reference in mixed-signal SoM designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3030AIDBZR | 3.0V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max tempco, 50µA supply current, SOT-23-3 package | Limited to 25mA output; no shutdown pin; smaller footprint but higher drift and lower accuracy | Select when board space is constrained and ±0.2% accuracy suffices; avoid in high-precision metrology or wide-temp industrial use |
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | 3.0V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max tempco, 120µA supply current, SOT-23-5 package with enable | Higher quiescent current; no thermal shutdown; requires external bypass cap for stability | Prefer where tighter initial tolerance than REF3030 is needed but thermal protection is not critical; verify layout for noise sensitivity |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF?
The LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF supports a minimum output current of 50mA while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. It can deliver up to 100mA short-circuit current, but sustained operation above 50mA may increase self-heating and affect long-term drift and thermal hysteresis. For continuous 50mA loads, ensure adequate PCB copper area and consider thermal derating above 85°C ambient.
Does the LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF require external capacitors, and if so, what values?
Yes, the LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF requires both input and output capacitors for stability. A minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor is required on VIN (pin 2), and a minimum 2µF ceramic capacitor on VOUT (pin 6) is mandatory for loads ≥1mA. These capacitors must be placed within 5mm of their respective pins using X7R or C0G dielectrics; omitting or undersizing them risks oscillation and degraded load transient response.
How does the shutdown function operate on the LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF?
The LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF shutdown pin (pin 3) is active-low: pulling it below 0.5V disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤35µA, while driving it ≥2.4V enables normal operation. The part powers up in approximately 200µs after SHDN rises above threshold. No external pull-up is required - the pin has internal bias, but a 100kΩ pull-up is recommended for noise immunity in noisy environments.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF?
The LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF exhibits ≤75ppm thermal hysteresis over the –40°C to 85°C cycle, measured as output voltage deviation after returning to 25°C. This value reflects worst-case behavior for parts soldered onto PCBs; socketed parts show lower hysteresis. Layout techniques such as corner mounting and board slotting around the SO-8 package reduce hysteresis impact in high-accuracy systems.
Is the LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
The LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF itself is rated for –40°C to 85°C operation and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. However, the pin-compatible LT1461DHS8-3#TRPBF variant is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (–40°C to 125°C) and supports automotive use. For automotive designs, specify the D-grade part; the B-grade LT1461BCS8-3#TRPBF is intended for industrial and portable instrumentation only.
