Product details
Overview
LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-dropout series voltage reference IC in TSOT-23-6 package, delivering 4.096V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60µA max supply current. It operates from 4.6V to 18V input and supports both sourcing and sinking up to 5mA, making it ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF datasheet, LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF pinout, LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF application, or LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C, low thermal hysteresis (40ppm), 50mV dropout at zero load, and compatibility with 1µF output capacitance for stability in portable instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF uses curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with post-package trimming of thin-film resistors to achieve tight initial accuracy and low drift. Its internal design enables bidirectional current capability-sourcing up to 5mA and sinking up to 3mA-allowing use as either a positive or negative reference without performance degradation.
It features guaranteed functional operation from –40°C to 125°C, with output voltage shift limited to <0.25% above nominal at 125°C. Line regulation is specified at 50–220 ppm/V over 4.6V–18V input range, and load regulation is 80–250 ppm/mA for sourcing and 70–300 ppm/mA for sinking, reflecting robustness against supply and load transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V ±0.1% (±4.1mV) - ensures direct match to 12-bit full-scale ADC reference without scaling. |
| Temp Coefficient | 25ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±208ppm (±0.85mV) over –40°C to 85°C industrial range. |
| Supply Current | 60µA max - enables >10-year battery life in 10µA-sleep IoT sensor nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 50mV at 0mA load - allows operation with only 4.146V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| Output Noise | 60µVP-P (0.1–10Hz) - avoids quantization noise floor elevation in 16-bit+ SAR ADC applications. |
| Hysteresis | 40ppm (–40°C to 85°C) - minimizes calibration error after thermal cycling in handheld test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 package (1mm height), marked "LTQB", with pin 1 identified by a dot. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and has θJA = 230°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Input supply connection; must be ≥4.146V for regulation; accepts up to 20V absolute max. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; requires low-impedance PCB plane tie to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 | DNC | No-connect terminal; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid performance degradation. |
| 4 | GND | Second ground pin; improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce in high-speed sampling. |
| 5 | DNC | No-connect terminal; electrically isolated; no trace or pad should connect to this pin. |
| 6 | VOUT | Regulated 4.096V output; stable with 1µF ceramic capacitor; drives 5mA source / 3mA sink loads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional current capability | Sources 5mA / sinks 3mA - enables single-part solution for ±4.096V references using external op-amp inversion. |
| Curvature-compensated bandgap | 25ppm/°C max TC - achieves near-zero parabolic drift across full temperature range without external compensation. |
| Post-package trimming | ±0.1% initial accuracy - eliminates need for system-level calibration in production test fixtures. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 40ppm over –40°C to 85°C - maintains repeatability in field-deployed portable instruments undergoing ambient cycling. |
| Wide input range | 4.6V to 18V - supports direct connection to unregulated 5V rails, 12V industrial buses, or buck converter outputs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF?
The LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 20V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable regulation, VIN must be ≥4.6V (minimum operating voltage) and ≤18V (recommended maximum per electrical characteristics).
Can the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF be used as a negative voltage reference?
Yes, the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF can operate as a negative voltage reference by connecting VOUT to system ground and sinking current into the VIN pin. In this configuration, it delivers –4.096V with identical ±0.1% accuracy and 25ppm/°C temperature coefficient as in positive mode, as confirmed in the 4.096V Electrical Characteristics section.
What is the typical turn-on time for the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF?
The typical turn-on time for the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF is 700µs when driving a 1µF load capacitor, as documented in the 4.096V Electrical Characteristics table. This value applies across the full –40°C to 85°C temperature range and supports fast wake-up in duty-cycled data acquisition systems.
Does the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF require an external capacitor for stability?
Yes, the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF requires a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor at the VOUT pin for stability, as specified in all voltage-option characteristic tables (e.g., "CL = 1µF and VIN = 4.6V"). Omitting this capacitor may cause oscillation or degraded load regulation, particularly under dynamic load conditions.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF?
The LT1790BCS6-4.096#TRMPBF exhibits 40ppm typical thermal hysteresis over the –40°C to 85°C temperature range, as stated in the Features section and confirmed in Note 10. This represents the maximum reversible output voltage shift after cycling between temperature extremes and returning to 25°C, critical for repeatable calibration in field instruments.
