Product details
Overview
LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-output 2.5V, 20mA low-dropout linear regulator in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package. It delivers ultralow 3μA quiescent current, 300mV dropout at 20mA, ±2% output tolerance over load/line/temperature, and reverse-battery protection - ideal for battery-powered utility meters and remote monitoring nodes requiring multi-year standby life.
For engineers reviewing the LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF pinout, LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF application, or LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown current (<1μA), minimum 2.2μF ceramic output capacitance, thermal performance in TSOT-23 (θJA = 65–85°C/W), and SENSE pin Kelvin sensing capability for precision regulation at the load.
Technical Context
The LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF uses a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and inherent reverse-battery protection without external diodes. Its error amplifier compares SENSE pin voltage to a 600mV internal reference, delivering tight regulation even with trace resistance between OUT and load.
Stability is achieved with low-ESR ceramic capacitors ≥2.2μF; no series ESR is required. Internal protection includes thermal limit, current limit (22–75mA), reverse-output current blocking (<10μA), and <1μA shutdown current - all critical for unattended industrial sensor nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% over full load, line, and temperature range - ensures stable MCU core or sensor bias under varying battery discharge. |
| Max Output Current | 20mA continuous - sufficient for ultra-low-power microcontrollers, RTCs, and sub-100μA sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV at 20mA - enables operation down to VIN = 2.8V, extending usable battery range in 3V systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 3μA typical at no load - minimizes self-discharge in keep-alive power supplies for >10-year battery life. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - essential for deep-sleep modes in wireless sensor transceivers and metering ICs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0V to 45V - supports wide-input applications including automotive 12V, industrial 24V, and Li-ion/LiFePO₄ battery stacks. |
| Output Noise | 92μVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - low enough for analog sensor front-ends and precision ADC references. |
Pinout & Package
LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint) with exposed pad not present - thermal path relies on PCB copper area under pins 2, 3, and 4 (GND). Pin 8 is NC and may be floated or tied to GND/VIN.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SHDN) | Shutdown control input | Pull ≤0.25V to disable output; draws <1μA in shutdown; must be connected - device does not function if floating. |
| 2, 3, 4 (GND) | Ground return paths | Three dedicated GND pins minimize ground impedance; connect directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane for stability and noise immunity. |
| 5 (IN) | Main power input | Accepts 2.0V–45V; reverse-battery protected - blocks current flow if battery is inserted backward. |
| 6 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V @ 20mA; requires ≥2.2μF ceramic capacitor at pin for stability; sensitive to PCB trace inductance. |
| 7 (SENSE) | Feedback sense input | Connects to OUT for standard operation; for Kelvin sensing, route to load point to cancel trace IR drop and maintain regulation accuracy. |
| 8 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Not internally connected; may be left floating, tied to GND, or tied to VIN - no electrical effect. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 3μA no-load IQ enables >10-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and smart meters. |
| Reverse-battery protection | Blocks reverse current flow when VIN is negative relative to GND - eliminates need for external series diode and its 0.3–0.7V loss. |
| Kelvin SENSE connection | Compensates for PCB trace resistance between regulator and load, maintaining ±2% regulation at point-of-load. |
| Stable with 2.2μF ceramic cap | Eliminates ESR requirements and simplifies design - avoids tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors with aging and reliability concerns. |
| Thermal and current limiting | Prevents damage during overload or high ambient temperature; allows safe operation in sealed enclosures up to 125°C junction. |
Applications
| Smart Utility Meters | Remote Environmental Sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A0525PDBVR | 2.5V fixed, 200mA output, 25μA IQ, 170mV dropout at 20mA, SOT-23-5 package | Higher output current but 8× higher quiescent current - unsuitable for multi-year battery life | Select only if system requires >20mA load or lower dropout; verify thermal derating in TSOT-23 at full load. |
| MCP1700T-2502E/MB | 2.5V fixed, 250mA output, 1.6μA IQ, 600mV dropout at 250mA, SOT-23-3 package | Lower IQ but 2× higher dropout at 20mA (≈400mV) and no SENSE pin - less accurate under trace resistance | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-Kelvin applications where 400mV dropout is acceptable and load exceeds 20mA. |
Compared with TPS7A0525PDBVR and MCP1700T-2502E/MB, LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF uniquely balances ultralow IQ (3μA), precise Kelvin sensing, and 300mV dropout in a thermally enhanced TSOT-23 - making it optimal for long-life, high-accuracy, low-current industrial and metering designs where every microamp and millivolt matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF?
The LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage of ±50V on the IN pin. Its operational input voltage range is specified from 2.0V to 45V, allowing use in automotive, industrial, and wide-input battery systems while surviving transient overvoltages common in those environments.
Does LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF require an external resistor divider for 2.5V output?
No. LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF is a fixed-output variant - the 2.5V regulation is implemented internally. The SENSE pin functions as the feedback node and should be connected directly to the OUT pin for standard operation, or to the load for Kelvin sensing. No external resistors are needed.
Can LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF be used with a 1μF output capacitor?
No. LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF requires a minimum 2.2μF ceramic output capacitor for stability. Using 1μF risks oscillation and poor transient response. The datasheet explicitly specifies 2.2μF as the minimum value; larger values (e.g., 4.7–10μF) improve load-step immunity but do not harm stability.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 8) on LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF?
Pin 8 on LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF is a no-connect terminal with no internal connection. It may be left floating, tied to GND, or tied to VIN without affecting device operation. This pin exists for package compatibility and mechanical symmetry - it serves no electrical function in this fixed-output variant.
How does LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF handle reverse-output conditions?
LT3008ITS8-2.5#TRMPBF blocks reverse current flow from OUT to IN when VOUT > VIN (e.g., during battery backup or load-dump events). Reverse-output current is limited to <10μA, protecting both the regulator and downstream circuitry. This eliminates the need for an external blocking diode in keep-alive or dual-supply configurations.
