Product details
Overview
LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-dropout, 2.5V series voltage reference in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package. It delivers ±0.1% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 60µA max supply current, and operates from 2.6V to 18V input across 0°C to 70°C. It serves as a precision DC bias or ADC/DAC reference in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF pinout, LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF application, or LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output accuracy over temperature, dropout voltage at 5mA sink/source, thermal hysteresis, noise performance (32µVP-P), and compatibility with negative-reference configurations.
Technical Context
The LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF uses curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with post-package trimming of thin-film resistors to achieve low drift and high accuracy. It supports bidirectional current flow-sourcing up to 5mA and sinking up to 3mA-enabling both positive and negative reference topologies without external components.
Its guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C exceeds its specified 0°C to 70°C range, and it features low thermally induced hysteresis (40ppm over –40°C to 85°C). The device maintains stable regulation with 1µF output capacitance and exhibits 50ppm/√kHr long-term drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5V ±0.1% (2.4975V to 2.5025V) - ensures consistent reference level for 12-bit ADCs without calibration |
| Temp Coefficient | 25ppm/°C max - limits full-scale error to <±0.03% over 0°C–70°C ambient swing |
| Supply Current | 60µA max - enables >1-year battery life in 10µA-sleep systems with periodic measurement |
| Dropout Voltage | 120mV at 5mA source - allows operation from 2.62V supply, critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell designs |
| Output Noise | 32µVP-P (0.1–10Hz) - preserves ENOB in low-frequency precision measurements |
| Hysteresis | 40ppm (–40°C to 85°C cycle) - prevents calibration drift after thermal storage or field temperature cycling |
| Line Regulation | 220ppm/V - holds output stable despite ±10% input rail variation in unregulated power supplies |
Pinout & Package
LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF is housed in a 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 package (1mm profile), marked "LTPZ", with exposed pad not connected. Pin 1 is VOUT, Pin 2 is DNC, 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 | Stable 2.5V node; must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor for stability and noise reduction |
| DNC (Pin 2) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask relief required |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.6V–18V; dropout headroom determines minimum usable input for given load current |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Primary return path; ties internal circuitry and substrate to system ground plane |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground Reference | Second ground terminal reduces package inductance and improves PSRR above 10kHz |
| DNC (Pin 6) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; no electrical function or thermal role |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Curvature-compensated bandgap | Enables 25ppm/°C tempco without external trimming components or calibration |
| Bidirectional current capability | Sinks 3mA / sources 5mA - supports negative reference configuration (e.g., –2.5V) with same accuracy |
| Post-package thin-film resistor trim | Reduces initial error to ±0.1% and minimizes thermal hysteresis to 40ppm |
| Low 60µA quiescent current | Permits use in always-on sensor nodes where average current budget is <100µA |
| Guaranteed operation to 125°C | Validates functionality in under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures without derating |
Applications
| Handheld Instrumentation | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C, 50µA supply current, SOT-23-3 | Lower accuracy and higher drift; 3-pin package lacks sink capability and dual GND | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where ±0.2% tolerance is acceptable and only sourcing is needed |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C, 120µA supply current, SOT-23-5 | Superior drift but double supply current; 5-pin package includes NC and separate VOUT/GND pins | Choose when ultra-low drift (<10ppm/°C) is mandatory and higher quiescent current is tolerable |
Compared with REF3025AIDBZR, LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF offers tighter initial accuracy and bidirectional operation but requires two GND connections; compared with ADR3425ARJZ-R7, it halves supply current at the cost of 2.5× higher tempco-making it optimal for battery-limited, moderate-accuracy systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF can source while maintaining regulation?
The LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF guarantees regulation up to 5mA sourced current, with dropout voltage rising to 120mV at that load. Beyond 5mA, output voltage deviation exceeds specification limits. For higher loads, consider buffering with a precision op-amp or selecting a reference with higher drive capability like the LT6654.
Can the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF be used as a negative voltage reference, and what is required?
Yes-the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF can operate as a negative reference by connecting VIN to ground and using VOUT as –2.5V referenced to system ground. It sinks up to 3mA with identical accuracy and drift specs. No external components are needed, but ensure the output capacitor remains connected between VOUT and ground.
What is the typical turn-on time for the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF with a 1µF output capacitor?
The typical turn-on time for the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF with a 1µF output capacitor is 700µs, measured from VIN reaching regulation to VOUT settling within 0.1% of 2.5V. This value is confirmed in the 2.5V Electrical Characteristics table and applies across the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range.
How does thermal hysteresis affect long-term calibration stability of the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF?
The LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF exhibits 40ppm hysteresis over a –40°C to 85°C thermal cycle, meaning output voltage may shift by up to ±20ppm after exposure to extreme temperatures and return to 25°C. This is critical for field-deployed instruments that undergo storage at temperature extremes before operation.
Is the LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the "#TRPBF" suffix in LT1790BCS6-2.5#TRPBF indicates lead-free finish and RoHS compliance. The device uses matte tin plating on leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
