Product details
Overview
LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a B-grade micropower low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 1.25V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60µA max supply current in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package. It operates from 2.6V to 18V input and supports both sourcing and sinking up to 5mA, enabling use as a precision negative reference in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF datasheet, LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF pinout, LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF application, or LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C, low thermal hysteresis (40ppm), sub-100mV dropout at 5mA source, and compatibility with 1µF output capacitance for stability in portable data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF employs curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with post-package trimming of thin-film resistors to achieve tight initial accuracy and low drift. Its dual-current capability (source/sink) enables bidirectional operation without external components, supporting both positive and negative reference configurations.
It features integrated ESD protection, operates down to 1.95V input at zero load, and maintains stable regulation across line (50–220 ppm/V), load (100–250 ppm/mA), and temperature variations-critical for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing where reference error directly limits system ENOB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.25V ±0.1% (±1.25mV) - ensures ≤0.1% full-scale error in 12-bit systems without calibration |
| Temp Coefficient | 25ppm/°C max - contributes ≤300ppm (0.03%) drift over –40°C to 85°C industrial range |
| Supply Current | 60µA max - enables >10-year battery life in 10µA sleep-mode sensor nodes |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 5mA source - allows operation from 1.35V supply, critical for single-cell Li-ion systems |
| Line Regulation | 220ppm/V max - limits output shift to <275µV over 1.25V input change (e.g., battery discharge) |
| Load Regulation | 250ppm/mA max - holds output within ±1.25mV under 5mA dynamic load variation |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF uses a 6-lead ThinSOT™ (TSOT-23) package with 1mm profile, optimized for space-constrained PCBs. Pin 1 is VOUT, Pin 2 is DNC (do not connect), Pin 3 is VIN, Pin 4 is GND, Pin 5 is GND, Pin 6 is DNC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Reference output | Delivers regulated 1.25V; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability |
| DNC (Pin 2) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; no internal circuitry attached |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Input supply | Accepts 2.6V–18V; dropout as low as 100mV enables ultra-low-voltage operation |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Primary ground return path; connects to system analog ground plane |
| GND (Pin 5) | Secondary ground | Reduces thermal resistance and improves PSRR by providing parallel ground path |
| DNC (Pin 6) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; no internal circuitry attached |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-compensated bandgap | Enables 25ppm/°C max drift without external compensation networks |
| Post-package trimming | Guarantees ±0.1% output accuracy after soldering, eliminating board-level calibration |
| Bidirectional current capability | Sinks or sources up to 5mA, enabling direct use as –1.25V reference without op-amp inversion |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 40ppm max over –40°C to 85°C cycling - preserves measurement repeatability in thermally cycled instruments |
| Wide input range | Operates from 2.6V to 18V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) and industrial 12V rails without LDO pre-regulation |
Applications
| Handheld Instruments | Negative Voltage References |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3412ARJZ-R7 | 1.2V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30ppm/°C drift, 120µA supply current | Lower output voltage limits use in 1.25V-specific circuits (e.g., REF pin of certain ADCs); higher quiescent current reduces battery life | Select when 1.2V suffices and wider supply voltage range (up to 5.5V) is needed |
| MAX6126AASA12+ | 1.2V output, ±0.06% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C drift, 85µA supply current, SO-8 package | Higher accuracy and lower drift but larger SO-8 footprint and 25µA higher supply current; no sink capability | Select when ultimate precision is required and board space allows SO-8; avoid if bidirectional operation is needed |
Compared with ADR3412ARJZ-R7 and MAX6126AASA12+, the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF uniquely combines 1.25V output, sink/source capability, and TSOT-23 size-enabling compact, low-power, bipolar-reference designs where alternatives require voltage translation or external amplification.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF can source while maintaining regulation?
The LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF guarantees regulation up to 5mA source current with ≤0.1% output deviation, as verified by load regulation spec of 250ppm/mA max. At 5mA, total error remains within ±1.25mV. Exceeding this may cause dropout or increased drift, especially at high temperature.
Does the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF require an output capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF requires a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor from VOUT to GND for stability, as specified in all typical application circuits. Lower values risk oscillation; tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are not recommended due to ESR sensitivity.
Can the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF be used as a negative voltage reference, and how is it configured?
Yes, the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF can operate as a negative reference by connecting VIN to system ground and VOUT to –1.25V node while sinking current through an external resistor. This configuration leverages its bidirectional current capability without additional active components.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF, and how does it affect long-term measurements?
The LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF exhibits 40ppm typical thermal hysteresis over –40°C to 85°C cycling, meaning output voltage may shift up to ±40ppm (±50µV) after extreme temperature excursions. This is critical for metrology-grade instruments requiring repeatable readings across environmental cycles.
Is the LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT1790 family, such as the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRMPBF?
Yes, all LT1790 variants in the TSOT-23-6 package-including LT1790BCS6-1.25#TRMPBF and LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRMPBF-share identical pinout, footprint, and thermal characteristics. Only the output voltage and associated electrical specs differ, enabling drop-in replacement during design iteration.
