Product details
Overview
LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-dropout, 2.5V series voltage reference in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package, featuring ±0.1% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 60µA max supply current, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C. It serves as a precision DC bias source in battery-powered data acquisition and industrial sensor signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF pinout, LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF application, or LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output stability under load variation, thermal hysteresis performance at temperature extremes, dropout voltage margin at minimum input, and compatibility with negative-reference configurations using sink capability.
Technical Context
The LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF employs curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with post-package trimming of thin-film resistors to achieve tight initial accuracy and low drift. Its dual-sourcing/sinking capability enables both positive and negative reference topologies without external components.
It operates across a wide input range (2.6V to 18V), maintains <250ppm/mA load regulation when sourcing 5mA, and exhibits only 40ppm thermal hysteresis over –40°C to 85°C cycling-critical for repeatable calibration in field-deployed instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5V ±0.1% (±2.5mV absolute tolerance at 25°C) |
| Temp Coefficient | 25ppm/°C max (≤62.5µV/°C drift over full industrial range) |
| Supply Current | 60µA max (enables >10-year battery life in µA-level systems) |
| Dropout Voltage | 120mV max at 5mA source (supports operation with VIN as low as 2.62V) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C (fully specified; functional to 125°C with <0.25% shift) |
| Output Noise | 48µVRMS (10Hz–1kHz; suitable for 16-bit ADC reference without filtering) |
| Hysteresis | 40ppm (typical; ensures repeatability after thermal cycling in test equipment) |
Pinout & Package
LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF uses a 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 package (1mm profile), marked "LTPZ", with lead-free finish and tape-and-reel packaging (#TRPBF). Pin 1 is VOUT; pins 3 and 5 are GND; pin 4 is VIN; pins 2 and 6 are DNC (do not connect).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | 2.5V precision reference output; requires 1µF ceramic bypass for stability |
| 2 | DNC | No internal connection; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground return; tie directly to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply (2.6V–18V); decouple locally with 0.1µF ceramic |
| 5 | GND | Second ground terminal; improves PSRR and reduces ground bounce |
| 6 | DNC | No internal connection; no routing or soldering required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 60µA max supply current enables multi-year operation from coin cells in portable meters |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 40ppm over –40°C to 85°C cycling ensures repeatable calibration in environmental test chambers |
| Sink + source capability | Supports true bipolar reference generation (e.g., –2.5V) without external op-amps or resistors |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.6V to 18V operation allows direct use with unregulated battery stacks or industrial 12V rails |
| Guaranteed 125°C operation | Functional specification to 125°C supports under-hood automotive and high-temp industrial deployment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3425BRJZ-R7 | 2.5V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 12ppm/°C max, 4.5µA typical supply current, SOT-23-5 | Lower power but single-supply only; no sink capability; 5-pin vs 6-pin footprint | Select for ultra-low-power designs where negative reference is unnecessary and PCB space is constrained. |
| REF3325AIDBVR | 2.5V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max, 4.5µA typical supply current, SOT-23-5 | Higher accuracy grade available (A-grade = 0.05%), but no sink capability and narrower input range (up to 5.5V) | Select when highest long-term stability is required and supply rail is ≤5.5V; verify thermal hysteresis spec separately. |
Compared with ADR3425BRJZ-R7 and REF3325AIDBVR, the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF uniquely supports bidirectional current flow and operates up to 18V input-making it the only choice for high-voltage industrial sensors or dual-polarity reference generation without added circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF?
The LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 20V, with guaranteed operational performance up to 18V across its full temperature range. Exceeding 20V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For reliable long-term operation, maintain VIN ≤18V with appropriate derating in high-temperature environments.
Can the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF be used as a negative voltage reference?
Yes, the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF can operate as a negative voltage reference by connecting VIN to system ground and VOUT to a negative rail (e.g., –2.5V), leveraging its ability to sink up to 3mA. This configuration requires no external components and maintains the same ±0.1% accuracy and 25ppm/°C tempco as the positive mode.
What is the typical turn-on time for the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF?
The typical turn-on time for the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF is 700µs when driving a 1µF load capacitor, 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 –40°C to 85°C temperature range.
Does the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF require an output capacitor for stability?
Yes, the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF requires a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor at the VOUT pin for stability, as specified in the Typical Application schematic and Electrical Characteristics conditions. Omitting this capacitor may cause oscillation or degraded noise performance, especially under dynamic load conditions.
How does thermal hysteresis affect calibration accuracy in the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF?
Thermal hysteresis in the LT1790BIS6-2.5#TRPBF is specified at 40ppm (typical) over –40°C to 85°C cycling, meaning repeated temperature excursions may cause up to ±0.0001V offset shift at 2.5V output. This is critical in metrology-grade instruments where calibration must remain valid after storage or transport across temperature zones.
