Product details
Overview
LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a precision series voltage reference IC delivering 2.500V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max temperature drift, and ultralow 850nA supply current. It operates with dropout as low as 10mV and supports up to 5mA output drive, making it ideal for battery-powered instrumentation, portable gas monitors, and micropower ADC/DAC reference and supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF datasheet, LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF pinout, LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF application, or LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature operation, DFN-6 (2mm × 2mm) package with exposed pad, 1µF minimum stable output capacitance, and reverse input/output protection.
Technical Context
The LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF uses a bandgap-based error amplifier architecture with class-B output stage, enabling both sourcing and sinking capability for transient recovery. Its design achieves <10ppm/°C drift via advanced processing and packaging, with hysteresis limited to 70ppm over –40°C to 85°C.
It features integrated reverse polarity protection on both VIN and VOUT terminals, operates stably with 1µF–47µF output capacitors of any ESR ≤5Ω, and maintains regulation down to 10mV headroom-enabling use in ultra-low-voltage systems where supply margin is constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.05% (±1.25mV) at 25°C - enables direct interface with 12-bit+ SAR ADCs without trimming |
| Temp Coefficient | 10ppm/°C max (–40°C to 85°C) - contributes ≤±250ppm (±0.625mV) error across full industrial range |
| Supply Current | 850nA typical, 1.5µA max - draws <1µW at 2.5V, extending multi-year battery life in remote sensors |
| Dropout Voltage | 10mV max at zero load - allows operation from 2.51V supply, critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems |
| Output Drive | 5mA sourcing min - sufficient to power ADC reference input and internal LDO simultaneously |
| Load Regulation | 65ppm/mA - introduces only ±325ppm (±0.81mV) shift from 0 to 5mA load, preserving measurement fidelity |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 30ppmP-P (75µVRMS) - sub-20µV peak-to-peak noise avoids quantization errors in high-resolution data acquisition |
Pinout & Package
LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead (2mm × 2mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7), rated for –40°C to 85°C operation. The package requires soldering the exposed pad to PCB ground for thermal and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND* (Pin 1) | Internal ground reference | Must be connected to system ground; not optional - ties internal bias network |
| GND (Pin 2) | Device ground return | Main ground path for output current and internal circuitry; low-impedance connection required |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | May be left floating or tied to GND/VIN/VOUT; no functional impact |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.51V–18V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor within 1 inch |
| VOUT (Pin 4) | Precision 2.5V output | Delivers regulated voltage; requires ≥1µF output capacitor (ceramic/tantalum/electrolytic) |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 7) | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory connection to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow supply current | 850nA enables >10-year battery life in 10µA-average IoT sensor nodes |
| Low dropout voltage | 10mV headroom allows direct use with single 2.55V LiFePO₄ cell or energy-harvesting sources |
| Reverse input/output protection | Withstands –18V on VIN or +18V on VOUT - eliminates need for external diodes in ruggedized designs |
| Stable with wide ESR capacitors | Operates reliably with 0–5Ω ESR output caps - supports low-cost bulk tantalum or polymer capacitors |
| Industrial temperature grade | Guaranteed performance from –40°C to 85°C - qualified for outdoor environmental monitoring hardware |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF?
The LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF requires a minimum input voltage of 2.51V at zero load (10mV dropout) and up to 2.87V at 5mA load (370mV dropout), per the Electrical Characteristics table. Operation below these thresholds risks output regulation loss and increased drift. Input must remain within absolute maximum ratings (±20V).
Does the LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF requires a minimum 1µF output capacitor for stability. It is designed to operate with ceramic, tantalum, or electrolytic capacitors having ESR ≤5Ω. No series resistor or special layout is needed - the device's low ESR sensitivity simplifies design and reduces BOM count.
How does the LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF handle reverse voltage conditions on VIN or VOUT?
The LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF includes built-in reverse protection: it withstands –18V on VIN (with 80µA reverse leakage) and +18V on VOUT (with 30µA reverse current). This eliminates the need for external blocking diodes in field-deployed equipment subject to wiring faults or battery reversal.
What is the long-term stability specification for the LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF, and how is it measured?
The LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF exhibits 15ppm/√kHr long-term drift in the DFN package (per Note 9), meaning ~15ppm drift after 1,000 hours, ~21ppm after 2,000 hours, and diminishing thereafter. This value is derived from accelerated aging tests under controlled thermal and bias conditions, not extrapolated from short-term data.
Can the LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF be used to supply both reference and power rails for a low-power ADC?
Yes - the LT6656AIDC-2.5#TRMPBF is explicitly designed for this dual role. It delivers 2.5V at up to 5mA while maintaining 65ppm/mA load regulation and 10ppm/°C drift. Its 850nA quiescent current ensures minimal impact on system power budget when the ADC is idle.
