Product details
Overview
LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-dropout, 2.5V fixed-output series voltage reference IC in SO-8 package. It delivers 0.15% initial accuracy, 40ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and only 4µA typical quiescent current - enabling ultra-long battery life in precision portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF pinout, LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF application, or LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 10mA load, output stability without bypass capacitor, sourcing/sinking capability, temperature hysteresis, and compatibility with low-voltage supply rails down to 2.7V.
Technical Context
The LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF uses curvature-compensated bandgap architecture with trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve low drift and high DC accuracy. Its internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor enables 200mV max dropout at 10mA while maintaining ultralow quiescent current across full load and input voltage range.
It operates over 0°C to 70°C, requires no output capacitor for stability (0–1µF supported), and features built-in ESD protection. The device is not adjustable - FB pin is internally connected and unused in this fixed-voltage variant, distinguishing it from the adjustable LTC1798.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5V ±0.15% (2.4963V to 2.5037V) - ensures precise ADC/DAC biasing without calibration. |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 200mV at 10mA - allows operation from 2.7V supply in battery-powered systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 4µA typical - extends shelf life and runtime in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Temp Coefficient | 40ppm/°C max - limits output drift to ±1mV over 0°C to 70°C ambient. |
| Load Drive | Sources 10mA / sinks 2mA - supports direct driving of op-amp references or small regulator error amps. |
| Output Noise | 8ppmP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - contributes <0.02mV RMS noise to 16-bit+ data converters. |
| Hysteresis | 50ppm over 0°C to 70°C - negligible impact on calibration repeatability in lab-grade instruments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8, narrow 0.150", JEDEC MS-012), RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, tape-and-reel packaging.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (DNC) | Do Not Connect | Internally trimmed; external connection risks calibration shift or damage. |
| Pin 2 (IN) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 2.7V to 12.6V; bypass with 0.1µF recommended for dynamic loads. |
| Pin 3 (DNC) | Do Not Connect | Fixed-voltage variant: no feedback function; must remain unconnected. |
| Pin 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path; separate analog ground routing improves PSRR. |
| Pin 5 (DNC) | Do Not Connect | Internally connected for post-package trim; floating per datasheet. |
| Pin 6 (OUT) | 2.5V Reference Output | Stable with 0–1µF capacitive load; sources up to 10mA, sinks up to 2mA. |
| Pin 7 (DNC) | Do Not Connect | Internally trimmed node; no external circuitry permitted. |
| Pin 8 (DNC) | Do Not Connect | Internally connected; violation may degrade long-term stability. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage of 12.6V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.7V to 12.6V, with minimum headroom of 200mV above the 2.5V output to maintain regulation. Exceeding 12.6V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and voids reliability guarantees.
Does the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF require an output bypass capacitor?
No, the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF is stable without any output capacitor - a key advantage for space-constrained or fast-settling applications. It remains stable with capacitive loads from 0µF up to 1µF. For loads exceeding 1µF, a series damping resistor (per Figure 2 in the datasheet) is required to prevent ringing.
Can the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF sink current, and how much?
Yes, the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF can sink up to 2mA while maintaining output regulation within specification. This capability supports active pull-down in precision comparator circuits or bidirectional reference buffering. Sinking beyond 2mA may cause output voltage deviation exceeding 0.1% or thermal stress under continuous operation.
What is the temperature coefficient specification for the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF has a maximum temperature coefficient of 40ppm/°C over the 0°C to 70°C operating range. This translates to a worst-case output change of ±1mV across the full temperature span. The typical TC is 15ppm/°C, yielding ±0.525mV drift - verified in production testing per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Is the FB pin functional on the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF?
No - the FB pin (Pin 3) is marked DNC (Do Not Connect) for the LTC1798CS8-2.5#TRPBF. It is internally tied off and serves no feedback function in this fixed-output variant. Connecting external circuitry to Pin 3 violates the datasheet and may compromise output accuracy or long-term stability.
