Product details
Overview
TS4061AICT-1.225 from STMicroelectronics is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a fixed 1.225 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy at 25 °C, ultra-low 10 µA operating current, and 35 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient across –40 to +85 °C. It supports stable operation with capacitive loads and is used in high-resolution ADC biasing and portable sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the TS4061AICT-1.225 datasheet, TS4061AICT-1.225 pinout, TS4061AICT-1.225 application, or TS4061AICT-1.225 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-current regulation capability, low-frequency noise (10 µVp-p), thermal hysteresis (120 ppm), static impedance (0.15–0.3 Ω), and SOT323-3L package compatibility for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TS4061AICT-1.225 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking current to maintain a precise 1.225 V cathode-to-anode voltage. Its bandgap-derived core achieves ±0.1% tolerance at 25 °C and maintains stability over industrial temperature range via curvature-compensated design.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance (0.15–0.3 Ω) and minimal voltage drift with load current (≤4 mV over 1 mA to 15 mA), enabling accurate closed-loop feedback in low-power LDOs and precision current sources where headroom is limited.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.225 V; enables direct replacement of 1.2 V–1.25 V references in ADC/DAC reference chains without resistor scaling. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.1% at 25 °C (TS4061A grade); ensures ≤1.23 mV absolute error in 12-bit systems requiring <0.5 LSB reference uncertainty. |
| Operating Current | 10 µA typical at 25 °C; allows continuous operation from microampere-level battery sources (e.g., coin cells) for >10-year lifetime in IoT sensors. |
| Tempco | Max 35 ppm/°C; contributes ≤43 µV drift over full –40 to +85 °C range-critical for uncalibrated field instrumentation. |
| Low-Freq Noise | 10 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz); preserves SNR in 24-bit delta-sigma ADC front-ends without external filtering. |
| Static Impedance | 0.15–0.3 Ω; minimizes output voltage shift under varying sink current, essential for stable biasing of op-amp input stages. |
Pinout & Package
TS4061AICT-1.225 is housed in a SOT323-3L surface-mount package (1.8 × 1.35 × 0.8 mm), optimized for PCB area savings in wearables and compact modules. The device has three terminals, with Pin 3 (NC) designated as no-connect but optionally tied to anode per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference return path | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return node; defines cathode voltage relative to this point. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Stable output node | Provides regulated 1.225 V; sinks current from external bias resistor or active circuitry. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating or connected to anode; no internal connection-used only for mechanical symmetry in SOT323-3L mold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 10 µA enables multi-year operation from CR2032 batteries in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Capacitive-load stability | Remains stable with ≥100 nF output capacitance-eliminates need for series isolation resistors in noisy environments. |
| Thermal hysteresis | 120 ppm ensures repeatable voltage after thermal cycling, critical for calibration-critical test equipment. |
| Wide operating current range | Regulates reliably from 10 µA to 15 mA-supports both ultra-low-power sleep modes and higher-drive analog circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431AIDBZR | Adjustable (2.5 V min), ±0.5% initial accuracy, 80 µA typical IQ, SOT23-3 | Requires external resistor divider; higher current increases battery drain in ultra-low-power use cases. | Select when adjustable output or higher voltage (>1.25 V) is required; avoid where 1.225 V fixed output and sub-15 µA operation are mandatory. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 1.25 V, ±0.2% accuracy, 35 µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Higher operating current reduces battery life; 1.25 V output requires gain adjustment in 1.225 V–optimized signal chains. | Choose only if 1.25 V output aligns with existing design; not suitable for 1.225 V–specific calibration or legacy layout reuse. |
Compared with TLVH431AIDBZR and MAX6008AEUR+T, TS4061AICT-1.225 uniquely delivers factory-trimmed 1.225 V output, ±0.1% accuracy, and 10 µA operation in SOT323-3L-enabling direct drop-in replacement in space- and power-constrained 1.225 V reference designs without resistor changes or layout revision.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for stable regulation?
The TS4061AICT-1.225 requires a minimum operating current of 10 µA at 25 °C and 12 µA across the full –40 to +85 °C range to maintain regulation within specification. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates nonlinearly and may fall outside ±0.1% tolerance.
Can it drive a 100 nF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes-the TS4061AICT-1.225 is explicitly characterized for stability with up to 100 nF capacitive loads, as confirmed in Figure 9 of the datasheet. No series isolation resistor is needed, simplifying layout and reducing component count in noise-sensitive applications.
Is Pin 3 (NC) electrically connected internally?
No-Pin 3 is a true no-connect terminal with no internal bond wire or silicon connection. The datasheet states it must be left unconnected or tied to the anode (Pin 1) solely for mechanical robustness during board assembly; it carries no electrical function.
How does thermal hysteresis impact calibration stability?
Thermal hysteresis is measured at 120 ppm-meaning voltage measured at 25 °C after cycling to –40 °C differs from that measured at 25 °C after cycling to +85 °C by up to 147 µV. This is critical for field-deployed instruments requiring recalibration-free operation over seasonal temperature swings.
