Product details
Overview
LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-dropout, 5V precision 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 –40°C to 125°C - ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF application, or LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal hysteresis data (40ppm), dropout voltage (120mV at 5mA sourcing), negative-reference capability, and real-world load regulation performance across temperature.
Technical Context
The LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF uses curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with post-package trimming of thin-film resistors to achieve tight initial accuracy and low drift. Its ability to both source and sink current enables dual-polarity operation without external components.
It features guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C, 5.5V to 18V input range, and maintains 0.1% output stability under 5mA sourcing or 3mA sinking loads - critical for precision sensor signal chains and portable medical devices requiring long-term voltage stability.

Pinout & Package
LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF is housed in a 6-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (1mm height), marked "LTQC", with lead-free finish and tape-and-reel packaging (#TRPBF). Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pins 3 and 6 are DNC (do not connect).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Input supply (5.5V to 18V); must exceed VOUT by ≥120mV for regulation |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 3 | DNC | No internal connection; leave unconnected and unbonded |
| 4 | VOUT | Stable 5V reference output; capable of sourcing up to 5mA or sinking 3mA |
| 5 | GND | Second ground terminal; improves PSRR and thermal stability when tied to same plane as Pin 2 |
| 6 | DNC | No internal connection; leave unconnected and unbonded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 60µA max supply current enables multi-year coin-cell operation in portable meters |
| Bipolar reference capability | Sinks 3mA - allows direct –5V generation with single resistor (no op-amp needed) |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 40ppm over –40°C to 85°C cycling ensures repeatable calibration after field temperature excursions |
| High PSRR | ≥60dB at 10Hz (typical) rejects ripple from noisy DC/DC converters in mixed-signal systems |
| Guaranteed 125°C operation | Functional at full spec up to 125°C - suitable for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial PLC modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3450ARJZ-R7 | 5.0V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C max drift, 125µA supply current, SOT-23-5 | Higher supply current; no sinking capability; single-GND pin | Choose if lower tempco is prioritized over power and bipolar operation |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V output, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3ppm/°C max drift, 950µA supply current, SOIC-8 | Higher accuracy and lower drift, but 15× higher supply current and larger package | Choose for lab-grade instrumentation where power is not constrained and ultimate stability is required |
Compared with ADR3450ARJZ-R7 and REF5050AIDR, the LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF uniquely balances micropower operation (60µA), bipolar functionality (source/sink), and robust 125°C operation - making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained embedded systems where dual-rail generation or extended temperature reliability is essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF can source while maintaining regulation?
The LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF guarantees regulation up to 5mA sourcing current with ≤0.1% output error. At 5mA, dropout voltage is 120mV (VIN ≥ 5.12V), and load regulation is 250ppm/mA - meaning output shifts ≤1.25mV per mA change. Exceeding 5mA risks loss of regulation and increased drift.
Can LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF be used as a negative voltage reference, and how is it configured?
Yes, LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF can operate as a negative reference by connecting VOUT to system ground and sinking current from VIN through an external resistor to a negative rail. For –5V generation, tie VOUT to GND, apply –5.5V to VIN, and use a resistor to sink ≥100µA (minimum operating current). The device maintains same accuracy and drift specs in sink mode.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF, and why does it matter in field-deployed equipment?
LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF exhibits 40ppm hysteresis over –40°C to 85°C temperature cycling. This means output voltage may shift up to 0.2mV after repeated exposure to extreme temperatures - critical for field-calibrated instruments (e.g., portable gas analyzers) where thermal history affects measurement repeatability without user intervention.
Does LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF require an output capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R or C0G) placed within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins. This stabilizes loop response, reduces noise (especially 0.1Hz–10Hz output noise of 80µVP-P), and improves load transient recovery. Larger values (e.g., 4.7µF) further reduce impedance below 1kHz but do not affect DC accuracy.
How does the supply current of LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF vary with input voltage and temperature?
LT1790BCS6-5#TRPBF supply current remains stable at ≤60µA across 5.5V–18V input and –40°C–125°C ambient. Typical current is 35µA at 25°C and 5.5V, rising to 60µA at 125°C - a predictable, low-drift characteristic essential for battery-life modeling in energy-harvesting and IoT edge nodes.
