Product details
Overview
LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a micropower precision shunt voltage reference delivering 2.500 V ±0.05% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 0.15 Ω typical dynamic impedance across –40°C to +85°C. It operates down to 8 µA minimum current and supports capacitive loads without compensation, enabling use in portable meters and high-resolution ADC/DAC references.
For engineers reviewing the LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF pinout, LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF application, or LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-temperature stability, ultra-low operating current, low noise (15 µVP-P, 0.1–10 Hz), and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy shunt reference layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF uses trimmed thin-film resistors and an improved curvature correction technique to achieve its 10 ppm/°C max drift over –40°C to +85°C. Its bandgap-based shunt architecture functions as a two-terminal device, sinking current to maintain a stable 2.500 V output regardless of input voltage variations above the knee voltage.
No output capacitor is required for stability, and it remains functional with capacitive loads up to 0.1 µF. The device exhibits low hysteresis (160 ppm after –40°C to +85°C cycling) and 15 µVP-P low-frequency noise-critical for precision data acquisition systems where reference integrity directly impacts ENOB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V ±0.05% (±1.25 mV) at 10 µA, ensuring high absolute accuracy for calibration-grade circuits |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C max over –40°C to +85°C, minimizing system gain error drift in industrial environments |
| Operating Current | 8 µA min, 20 mA max - enables battery-powered operation and simplifies bias network design |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.15 Ω typical (≤0.75 Ω max) at 10–2 mA, providing strong rejection of supply ripple and load transients |
| Low-Freq Noise | 15 µVP-P, 0.1–10 Hz - preserves resolution in 16-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADCs |
| Hysteresis | 160 ppm after full industrial temp cycle - limits recalibration need in field-deployed instrumentation |
| Package | 8-Lead Plastic SO (S8), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, tape-and-reel (#TRPBF) |
Pinout & Package
LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (S8) package per LTC DWG #05-08-1610 Rev G. Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 is VOUT; Pins 1–3 and 6–8 are DNC* (internally connected, no external connection). Pin 5 (VOUT) and Pin 4 (GND) form the two active terminals of this shunt reference.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 4 | GND | Reference ground return path; must be low-impedance and tied directly to system analog ground |
| Pin 5 | VOUT | 2.500 V shunt output node; connects to cathode of external series resistor and load reference input |
| Pins 1–3, 6–8 | DNC* | Internally connected; no external circuitry permitted - floating or tied to GND degrades performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 8 µA minimum operating current enables >10-year battery life in portable calibrators and handheld DMMs |
| Industrial temperature grade | Specified over –40°C to +85°C with 10 ppm/°C max drift - suitable for uncontrolled environmental deployments |
| No output capacitor required | Stable with 0 µF output capacitance, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| Low dynamic impedance | ≤0.75 Ω ensures <1 µV/mA load regulation error - critical for multiplexed reference distribution |
| Low hysteresis | 160 ppm post-cycling allows single-point calibration in field instruments without thermal re-trimming |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1460ACS8-2.5#TRPBF | Series reference (3-terminal), requires ≥2.7 V supply; 0.075% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C drift | Needs dedicated supply rail; unsuitable for floating or high-side sensing topologies | Select when supply headroom permits and low quiescent current (3.7 µA) is prioritized over shunt flexibility |
| REF5025AIDR | Series reference (3-terminal), 2.5 V, 0.05% accuracy, 3 ppm/°C drift, 950 µA quiescent current | Higher power, fixed supply requirement; superior drift but incompatible with shunt-based bias networks | Choose for ultra-low-drift lab-grade systems where supply current is not constrained and layout allows 3-terminal placement |
Compared with LT1460ACS8-2.5#TRPBF and REF5025AIDR, the LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF offers unique two-terminal shunt operation, enabling direct replacement of Zener diodes in existing designs, while maintaining industrial-temp accuracy and sub-10 µA operation - a trade-off of slightly higher drift than REF5025AIDR for vastly lower power and topology flexibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF specifies a minimum operating current of 8 µA across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Minimum Operating Current" for the A-grade, S8 package variant. Operation below 8 µA may result in degraded accuracy or instability.
Does LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF require an output capacitor?
No, the LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF does not require an output capacitor for stability and is explicitly characterized as stable with 0 µF output capacitance. However, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor may be added to further reduce high-frequency noise in sensitive measurement circuits - the device remains stable under that condition.
What is the pin configuration for LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF uses an 8-lead SO (S8) package. Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 is VOUT. Pins 1–3 and 6–8 are DNC* (internally connected, no external connection). Pin 5 serves as the 2.500 V reference output terminal, and Pin 4 provides the return path - all other pins must remain unconnected.
How does LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF compare to LM385-2.5 in industrial applications?
The LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF improves upon the LM385-2.5 with 0.05% initial accuracy (vs. 1–2%), 10 ppm/°C max drift (vs. 50–100 ppm/°C), 8 µA min current (vs. 10–20 µA), and guaranteed industrial temperature operation. It also features lower dynamic impedance (0.15 Ω vs. ~5 Ω) and 15 µVP-P noise (vs. ~60 µVP-P), making it suitable for modern high-resolution data acquisition where LM385-2.5 falls short.
Is LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LT1634AIS8-2.5#TRPBF is RoHS-compliant and features a lead-free finish, as indicated by the "#TRPBF" suffix in the part number. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for standard reflow soldering profiles per Analog Devices' packaging specifications.
