Product details
Overview
LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 from Analog Devices is a precision bandgap voltage reference delivering 2.5V output with ±0.025% initial accuracy, 2ppm/°C max temperature drift, and ultra-low 0.25ppmP-P (625nVP-P) 0.1Hz–10Hz noise - enabling high-resolution data acquisition in instrumentation, weigh scales, and medical equipment where long-term stability and thermal hysteresis <30ppm (–40°C to 85°C) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 datasheet, LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 pinout, LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 application, or LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, LS8 hermetic package details, load regulation (<15ppm/mA sourcing), shutdown current (<20µA), and real-world design implications for precision analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 uses advanced curvature-compensated bandgap architecture to achieve predictable, monotonic temperature behavior across –40°C to 125°C. Its dual-output topology (VOUT_F and VOUT_S) enables Kelvin sensing for <10ppm/mA load regulation error, independent of trace resistance.
It operates from VIN = VOUT + 0.5V (min) to 13.2V, supports ±5mA source/sink, and integrates a logic-compatible active-low SHDN pin with internal pull-up - eliminating external biasing while ensuring reliable low-power mode entry (<20µA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.025% (±625µV) - eliminates system-level calibration in 16-bit+ ADC applications |
| Tempco (Drift) | ≤2ppm/°C over –40°C to 125°C - ensures <250ppm total drift across full industrial range |
| Low-Freq Noise | 0.25ppmP-P (625nVP-P, 0.1Hz–10Hz) - preserves ENOB in high-gain, low-bandwidth sensor interfaces |
| Long-Term Drift | 20ppm/√kHr (LS8 package) - predicts <100ppm drift over 25 years in stable environments |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 30ppm (–40°C to 85°C) - enables repeatable measurements after thermal cycling in field-deployed gear |
| Load Regulation | <15ppm/mA (sourcing), <45ppm/mA (sinking) - maintains accuracy under dynamic load conditions |
| Shutdown Current | <20µA - supports battery-powered portable instruments with multi-year standby life |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead ceramic LCC (LS8), 5mm × 5mm, hermetic, surface-mount - provides humidity immunity and superior long-term stability vs. plastic MSOP.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled up internally; tie to GND for <20µA shutdown; external pull-high recommended for noise immunity |
| 2 - VIN | Power supply input | Operates from VOUT + 0.5V to 13.2V; requires ≥0.1µF local bypass capacitor |
| 3, 5, 8 - GND | Internal ground terminals | All must be connected to clean system ground plane; not optional - ensures PSRR >100dB |
| 4 - GND | Main device ground | Primary return path; lowest impedance connection point for reference ground routing |
| 6 - VOUT_S | Sense input (Kelvin) | Sinks 2mA; connect directly at load to cancel trace IR drop - reduces load regulation error to RTRACE × 2mA |
| 7 - VOUT_F | Force output | Sources/sinks ±5mA; requires 2.7µF–100µF output capacitor (low-ESR film or X7R) for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No humidity sensitivity | Hermetic LS8 ceramic package eliminates moisture-induced drift - critical for outdoor or uncontrolled-environment deployments |
| Dual-output Kelvin sensing | VOUT_F/VOUT_S separation enables true remote sensing - achieves <10ppm/mA effective load regulation in PCB layouts with >100mΩ trace resistance |
| Guaranteed temp range | Fully tested at –40°C, 25°C, and 125°C - removes need for derating or corner-case validation in automotive/industrial designs |
| Low dropout operation | Min VIN = VOUT + 0.5V - allows use with low-headroom supplies (e.g., 3.0V rail powering 2.5V reference) |
| High PSRR | >100dB at DC, >60dB to 10kHz - rejects switching regulator noise without additional filtering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADR4525BRTZ-REEL7 | 2.5V, ±0.02% init acc, 3ppm/°C drift, 1.2µVP-P (0.1–10Hz), SOIC-8 | Higher noise (1.2µV vs. 0.625µV), non-hermetic package, no Kelvin sensing | Lower-cost option where LS8 stability and ultra-low noise are not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LTC6655CHLS8-2.5?
The LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 supports a maximum supply voltage of 13.2V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. The device functions down to VIN = VOUT + 0.5V (i.e., 3.0V minimum for the 2.5V version), enabling compatibility with low-headroom power rails while maintaining full specified performance across –40°C to 125°C.
Does LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 require an output capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 requires an output capacitor between 2.7µF and 100µF for stability, low noise, and controlled turn-on time. A 10µF low-ESR X7R ceramic or film capacitor is typical; for ultra-low-noise applications, polypropylene or PPS film capacitors are preferred to avoid piezoelectric noise. ESR must be ≤0.1Ω at 100kHz to prevent oscillation.
How does the dual-output (VOUT_F / VOUT_S) configuration improve accuracy in LTC6655CHLS8-2.5?
The LTC6655CHLS8-2.5's VOUT_F (force) and VOUT_S (sense) pins implement Kelvin sensing: VOUT_S sinks 2mA and connects directly at the load, rejecting voltage drop across PCB traces. This reduces load regulation error to RTRACE × 2mA - enabling <10ppm/mA effective regulation even with 50mΩ trace resistance, unlike single-output references.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LTC6655CHLS8-2.5, and why does it matter?
LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 exhibits ≤30ppm thermal hysteresis over –40°C to 85°C (per datasheet Note 9). This means output voltage returns within 30ppm of its original 25°C value after cycling between those extremes - critical for field instruments that experience daily temperature swings but must maintain calibration integrity without user intervention.
Can LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 be used in battery-powered devices, and what is its shutdown current?
Yes, LTC6655CHLS8-2.5 supports battery operation via its active-low SHDN pin: pulling SHDN to GND reduces supply current to <20µA (max), enabling multi-year standby in portable instrumentation. An internal pull-up ensures default operation if SHDN is left open, but external pull-high is recommended to prevent noise-induced shutdown in noisy environments.
