Product details
Overview
LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-dropout, precision series voltage reference in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package, delivering 3.3V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60µA max supply current. It operates from –40°C to 85°C and supports both sourcing and sinking current, enabling use as a positive or negative reference in battery-powered data acquisition and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF datasheet, LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF pinout, LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF application, or LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation over –40°C to 85°C, low thermal hysteresis (40ppm), dropout voltage ≤250mV at 3mA sink, and compatibility with 1µF output capacitance for stability.
Technical Context
The LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF employs curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with post-package trimming of thin-film resistors to achieve high DC accuracy and low drift. Its dual-sourcing/sinking capability enables bidirectional current flow, allowing direct implementation as a negative reference without external inversion circuitry.
It features integrated thermal hysteresis mitigation and operates across a wide input range (3.8V to 18V) while maintaining load regulation ≤250ppm/mA (sourcing) and ≤300ppm/mA (sinking), line regulation ≤220ppm/V, and output noise of 50µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±0.1% (±3.3mV) at 25°C - ensures stable ADC/DAC biasing within tight tolerance bands |
| Temp Coefficient | 25ppm/°C max (–40°C to 85°C) - limits full-range drift to ±209ppm (±0.69mV) |
| Supply Current | 60µA max - enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV max at 3mA sink - allows operation with only 3.55V input for 3.3V output |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | 3.3V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max drift, 4.5µA typical supply current, SOT-23-5 | Lacks sink capability; not suitable for negative reference configurations | Select when lowest power dominates and bidirectional operation is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF?
The LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to 85°C ambient (industrial grade), with functional guarantee up to 125°C junction temperature. This allows deployment in harsh environments such as factory floors or outdoor monitoring enclosures without derating.
Can the LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF be used as a negative voltage reference?
Yes, the LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF can sink up to 3mA and is explicitly designed for negative reference operation. When connected with its VOUT terminal grounded and VIN supplied with a negative rail (e.g., –3.3V), it regulates –3.3V at the GND pins-enabling true bipolar reference generation without external op-amps or inverters.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at full load?
At 3mA sink current, the LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 250mV = 3.55V. At zero load, dropout is 50mV, so VIN ≥ 3.35V suffices. Input must remain within absolute maximum rating (≤20V) and ≥3.8V per 3.3V electrical characteristics table for specified performance.
Does the LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF require an output capacitor, and if so, what value?
Yes, the LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF requires a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor at VOUT for stability, as confirmed in all voltage-option electrical characteristics tables. Lower values risk oscillation; tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are not recommended due to ESR sensitivity.
How does the LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF compare to the LT1790AIS6-3.3#TRMPBF in accuracy and drift?
The LT1790BIS6-3.3#TRMPBF offers ±0.1% initial accuracy and 25ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, whereas the LT1790AIS6-3.3#TRMPBF provides tighter ±0.05% accuracy and 10ppm/°C max drift. Both share identical package, temperature range, and functional capabilities-selection depends on whether the application demands highest-grade stability.
