Product details
Overview
LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower precision shunt voltage reference delivering a stable 5.000V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max temperature drift, and 0.15Ω typical dynamic impedance. It operates from 15µA minimum current and supports capacitive loads without external compensation, making it ideal for high-resolution A/D converters and portable metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF application, or LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.05% initial tolerance over 0°C to 70°C, low 35µVP-P 0.1Hz–10Hz noise at 20µA, and SO-8 package compatibility with standard PCB layouts for precision analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF uses trimmed thin-film resistors and an improved curvature correction technique to achieve its 10ppm/°C max drift specification across the full commercial temperature range. Its bandgap-based shunt architecture functions as a two-terminal device, requiring only an external current source and load-no series pass transistor or feedback loop.
It exhibits less than 1Ω dynamic impedance up to 2mA reverse current and maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 0.1µF, eliminating need for output compensation capacitors in most applications. Hysteresis is limited to 40ppm over 0°C to 70°C thermal cycling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1460ACS8-5#TRPBF | Series reference (3-pin), requires input voltage ≥5.4V; higher 1.2µA quiescent current; same 0.05% accuracy and 10ppm/°C drift | Not suitable for low-input-voltage or high-impedance current-source topologies; requires external bypass cap | Select when input supply is well-regulated and board space allows 3-pin footprint |
| REF5050AIDR | Series reference (3-pin), 5.000V, 0.05% accuracy, 3ppm/°C drift, 95µA quiescent current, SO-8 package | Superior drift but higher power; incompatible with shunt-based current-source configurations | Choose for ultra-stable lab equipment where 3ppm/°C outweighs 6× higher current draw |
Compared with LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF, LT1460ACS8-5#TRPBF demands higher headroom and draws 80× more current, while REF5050AIDR offers lower drift but cannot replace LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF in shunt-configured circuits due to fundamental topology mismatch.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF?
The LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF requires a minimum operating current of 15µA to maintain regulation within specifications. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates beyond the ±0.05% initial accuracy band. This value is confirmed in the 5V Electrical Characteristics table under "Minimum Operating Current" for the ACS8 grade at 20µA test condition.
Does LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF require an output capacitor?
No, the LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF does not require an output compensation capacitor and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 0.1µF. However, a local 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended at the VOUT pin when driving >100pF loads to suppress high-frequency noise and improve transient response, as noted in Typical Application TA03 and TA04 schematics.
What is the temperature coefficient specification for LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF?
The LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF has a maximum temperature coefficient of 10ppm/°C over the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range. This value is guaranteed for Grade A devices (denoted by 'A' in part number) and applies to the full operating range, not just at 25°C, as specified in the "Temperature Coefficient (Note 8)" row of the 5V Electrical Characteristics table.
Can LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF be used in place of LM385-5.0?
Yes, the LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF can serve as a high-performance upgrade to the LM385-5.0, offering superior specs: 0.05% vs. 1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C vs. 50ppm/°C drift, and 15µA vs. 20µA min operating current. However, pinout differs - LM385-5.0 is TO-92 (3-pin), while LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF is SO-8 (8-pin) - requiring PCB redesign.
What is the dynamic impedance of LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF at 20µA?
At 20µA reverse current, the LT1634ACS8-5#TRPBF exhibits a typical reverse dynamic impedance of 0.15Ω, with a maximum of 0.75Ω over the full 0°C to 70°C range. This low impedance minimizes output voltage shift under varying load currents and is verified in the "Reverse Dynamic Impedance (Note 5)" section of the 5V Electrical Characteristics table.
