Product details
Overview
LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-dropout, 3V 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 85°C - ideal for high-accuracy battery-powered data acquisition and industrial sensor conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF datasheet, LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF pinout, LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF application, or LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation value, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF uses curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with post-package trimming to achieve low thermal hysteresis (40ppm typical over –40°C to 85°C) and tight output stability. Its ability to both source and sink current enables dual-polarity reference configurations without external components.
It supports wide input voltage range (2.6V to 18V), exhibits 50ppm/V line regulation and ≤250ppm/mA load regulation (sourcing), and maintains guaranteed operation up to 125°C junction temperature - making it suitable for harsh-environment embedded systems requiring long-term voltage reference integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V ±0.1% (±3mV absolute tolerance at 25°C) |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.1% - ensures system calibration validity without field adjustment in 12-bit DAC/ADC references |
| Temp Coefficient | 25ppm/°C max - contributes ≤±210ppm error across –40°C to 85°C ambient range |
| Supply Current | 60µA max - enables >10-year battery life in 10µA sleep-mode portable instruments |
| Dropout Voltage | 120mV at 5mA sourcing - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) with margin |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 85°C (industrial grade) - qualified for unheated outdoor sensor nodes and factory-floor PLC modules |
| Long-Term Drift | 50ppm/√kHr - predicts <±300ppm shift after 10 years of continuous operation |
Pinout & Package

| 3 | DNC | Do Not Connect - internally unused; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 4 | GND | Second ground terminal; improves thermal and noise performance when tied to same plane as Pin 2 |
| 5 | DNC | Do Not Connect - internally unused; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 6 | VOUT | Precision 3.000V output; requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor for stability and noise reduction |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | 3.0V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C max tempco, 4.5µA typical supply current | Lower quiescent current but higher output impedance; not sink-capable | Select when ultra-low power dominates over bipolar reference flexibility |
| REF3030AIDBZR | 3.0V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max tempco, 40µA max supply current | Lower cost, wider temp range (–40°C to 125°C), no sink capability | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where ±0.2% accuracy suffices |
Compared with ADR3430ARJZ-R7 and REF3030AIDBZR, the LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF uniquely supports bidirectional current flow - enabling compact negative reference generation - while maintaining tighter initial accuracy than REF3030AIDBZR and superior tempco vs. REF3030AIDBZR despite higher supply current than ADR3430ARJZ-R7.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF?
The LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 20V. For reliable operation, VIN must be between 2.6V and 18V. At 3V output, the minimum headroom is 120mV at 5mA load - so 2.6V is the practical lower limit for regulation under load.
Does LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF support negative voltage reference configuration?
Yes, the LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF can sink current, enabling direct implementation of a negative 3V reference using an external op-amp and resistor. This is confirmed in the datasheet Figure 7 and distinguishes it from standard shunt or non-sinking series references.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF?
The LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF is specified for industrial temperature range: –40°C to +85°C ambient. The device is also guaranteed functional up to +125°C junction temperature, per Note 2 in the datasheet.
How does the 60µA max supply current of LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF impact battery life?
At 60µA max supply current, the LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF draws only 0.52 C/year from a 220mAh coin cell - enabling over 400 years of theoretical runtime. In practice, with realistic system sleep cycles, it supports >10-year operation in low-duty-cycle IoT sensors.
Is LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT1790 variants?
Yes, all LT1790 variants - including LT1790BIS6-3#TRPBF - use identical 6-lead TSOT-23 (S6) package and pinout. Output voltage and grade (A/B, C/I) are the only differences; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting within the family.
