Product details
Overview
LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision buffered voltage reference IC delivering 3.0V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 1.5ppm/°C max temperature drift, and 0.5ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) low-frequency noise. It operates from VIN as low as VOUT + 50mV up to 40V, sources/sinks ±10mA, and supports shunt/negative-reference configurations in high-resolution data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF datasheet, LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF pinout, LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF application, or LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.5ppm/°C drift over –40°C to 125°C, shutdown current <4µA, reverse supply/output protection, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial instrumentation layouts.
Technical Context
The LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF uses advanced curvature-compensated bandgap architecture to achieve predictable 1.5ppm/°C drift across its full operating range. Its buffered output stage enables bidirectional ±10mA drive while maintaining 2µV/mA load regulation and 0.2ppm/V line regulation - critical for metrology-grade ADC biasing and sensor excitation circuits.
It integrates active shutdown control (SHDN pin), thermal shutdown, short-circuit current limiting, and reverse-battery protection. The device supports both series-mode regulation and shunt-mode operation (except for 1.25V variant), enabling flexible use as positive or negative reference without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0V ±0.1% initial accuracy - ensures absolute voltage reference stability for 16-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADCs. |
| Tempco | 1.5ppm/°C max (–40°C to 125°C) - guarantees ≤0.5mV total drift over full industrial temperature range. |
| Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 0.5ppmP-P - translates to 1.5µVP-P at 3V, enabling ultra-low-noise sensor signal chains. |
| Min. VIN–VOUT | 50mV (sourcing, IOUT = 0mA) - allows operation from ultra-low headroom supplies like LiFePO4 battery rails. |
| Output Drive | ±10mA continuous - supports direct driving of DAC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and multiplexed sensor bridges. |
| Shutdown Current | <4µA max - enables micro-power sleep modes in portable test equipment and battery-backed data loggers. |
| Package | 8-lead MSOP - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and thermal performance θJA = 273°C/W. |
Pinout & Package
LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8) package with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pins 1, 5, 7, and 8 are DNC (do not connect); external circuitry must be omitted from these terminals to ensure specified performance and reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (DNC) | Internally connected | No external connection permitted; floating per datasheet to avoid leakage-induced error. |
| Pin 2 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 3.05V–40V; bypass with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for PSRR optimization. |
| Pin 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pull ≤0.8V to enter shutdown (<4µA IQ); tie to VIN if unused. |
| Pin 4 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Must connect to low-impedance star ground; carries return current for VIN and load paths. |
| Pin 5 (DNC) | Internally connected | No external connection permitted; floating per datasheet. |
| Pin 6 (VOUT) | Regulated 3.0V output | Sources/sinks ±10mA; requires ≥1µF output capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| Pin 7 (DNC) | Internally connected | No external connection permitted; floating per datasheet. |
| Pin 8 (DNC) | Internally connected | No external connection permitted; floating per datasheet. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-drift curvature compensation | Guarantees monotonic, predictable 1.5ppm/°C drift behavior - eliminates need for system-level temperature calibration. |
| Bidirectional output stage | Supports ±10mA sourcing/sinking - enables use as negative reference or shunt regulator without external transistors. |
| Reverse supply & output protection | Withstands –40V on VIN and –3V on VOUT - protects against battery reversal and ESD coupling in automotive and field instrumentation. |
| Ultra-low 0.1–10Hz noise | 0.5ppmP-P (1.5µVP-P) - meets noise floor requirements for 24-bit delta-sigma ADCs in weigh scales and precision thermometry. |
| Shunt-mode configurability | Operates with VIN = VOUT (positive shunt) or VIN < VOUT (negative shunt) - expands topology options beyond standard series references. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF?
The LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF is fully specified over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its guaranteed 1.5ppm/°C drift, 0.5ppmP-P noise, and ±10mA output drive apply across this entire range, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial environments where thermal stress is severe.
Can the LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF be used as a negative voltage reference?
Yes, the LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF can operate as a negative reference by sinking current with VIN below VOUT - down to –250mV (guaranteed –50mV) differential. This enables true two-terminal shunt operation in negative-rail circuits without external components, unlike most bandgap references limited to positive-only configurations.
What output capacitor value is required for stable operation of the LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF?
The LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R or C0G) placed close to the VOUT and GND pins. For improved transient response and phase margin, a 1µF ceramic in parallel with a 47µF tantalum is recommended. ESR must remain below 0.5Ω to prevent instability.
Does the LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF support shutdown mode, and what is its quiescent current in that state?
Yes, the LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF features an active-low SHDN pin (Pin 3). When pulled ≤0.8V, it enters shutdown with typical supply current of 2µA; at ≤0.4V, current drops to 0.01µA typical. Turn-on time is 180µs (0.1% settling, COUT = 1µF), enabling rapid wake-up in duty-cycled systems.
How does the LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF compare to the LT6657BHMS8-3#TRPBF in terms of temperature coefficient?
The LT6657AHMS8-3#TRPBF has a maximum temperature coefficient of 1.5ppm/°C over –40°C to 125°C, whereas the LT6657BHMS8-3#TRPBF is rated at 3ppm/°C max. Both share identical 3.0V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy, noise, and package - the 'A' grade is selected for highest-stability applications such as calibration equipment and metrology standards.
