Product details
Overview
LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, precision shunt voltage reference delivering a stable 2.500 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C max temperature drift, and 0.2 Ω typical dynamic impedance. It operates from 7 µA minimum current and supports capacitive loads without external compensation-ideal for portable meters and high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF pinout, LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF application, or LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed industrial-grade stability over 0°C to 70°C, low 15 µVP-P 0.1–10 Hz noise, and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy board layouts requiring minimal redesign.
Technical Context
The LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF uses trimmed thin-film resistors and an improved curvature correction technique to achieve its 0.05% initial accuracy and 10 ppm/°C max drift across the full commercial temperature range. Its bandgap-based shunt architecture functions as a two-terminal device, sinking current to regulate voltage at the cathode node.
It requires no output capacitor for stability but remains robust with up to 0.1 µF load capacitance. The device exhibits 40 ppm hysteresis after thermal cycling from 0°C to 70°C and maintains <0.4 mV reverse voltage change over 10 µA to 2 mA operating current-critical for low-drift sensor excitation and calibration circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V ±0.05% (±1.25 mV absolute tolerance at 25°C; enables 16-bit DAC/ADC reference without trimming) |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% (guaranteed over 0°C to 70°C; eliminates need for system-level calibration in production test) |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C max (ensures ≤±0.25 mV drift over full commercial range; suitable for precision instrumentation) |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical (10 µA–2 mA range; minimizes load-induced voltage error in varying-current applications) |
| Low-Freq Noise | 15 µVP-P (0.1–10 Hz; preserves SNR in high-gain analog front-ends and weigh-scale amplifiers) |
| Min Operating Current | 8 µA (supports ultra-low-power battery-operated designs; compatible with microcontroller GPIO-driven bias networks) |
| Hysteresis | 40 ppm (after 0°C ↔ 70°C cycling; ensures repeatable voltage output in field-deployed equipment) |
Pinout & Package
LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (S8) package with exposed pad not connected. Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 is VOUT; Pins 1–3 and 6–8 are DNC (internally connected, no external connection). TEST pin (Pin 6) may be left floating or tied to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 | DNC (Do Not Connect) | Internally connected; external routing causes parametric shift or instability |
| Pin 4 | GND | Reference return path; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce in mixed-signal systems |
| Pin 5 | VOUT | Cathode terminal; sinks current to maintain regulated 2.500 V; connects to load/analog ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 8 µA minimum current enables >10-year battery life in portable calibrators and handheld DMMs |
| No output capacitor required | Stable with 0 µF output capacitance-reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| Guaranteed 0°C to 70°C performance | Full spec compliance across commercial temperature range simplifies thermal validation for industrial control modules |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF supports up to 50 mA forward current per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows use in applications requiring high sink current, such as driving multiple op-amp bias networks or powering low-dropout regulator feedback dividers. Operation above 20 mA increases self-heating and may impact long-term stability if PCB thermal design is inadequate.
Can LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF replace LT1004-2.5 in existing designs?
Yes, the LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF is a direct functional upgrade to the LT1004-2.5, offering superior 0.05% initial accuracy (vs. ±1%), 10 ppm/°C drift (vs. 50 ppm/°C), and lower 8 µA minimum current (vs. 45 µA). Its SO-8 pinout matches LT1004-2.5's 8-lead SO package, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB modification.
Does LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF is internally compensated and stable with 0 µF output capacitance. However, adding a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor improves PSRR and reduces high-frequency noise coupling-particularly beneficial when powered from noisy switch-mode supplies. The device remains stable with capacitive loads up to at least 1 µF.
What is the reverse dynamic impedance specification for LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF has a typical reverse dynamic impedance of 0.2 Ω over 10 µA to 2 mA operating current. This low value ensures minimal voltage deviation (<0.4 mV) under load current variations-critical for maintaining reference integrity in multiplexed sensor systems or dynamically loaded ADC references.
Is LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LT1634ACS8-2.5#TRPBF carries the #TRPBF suffix indicating tape-and-reel packaging with 100% matte tin (Sn) lead finish and full RoHS compliance. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
