Product details
Overview
TS4061AICT-1.25 from STMicroelectronics is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with fixed 1.25 V output, ±0.1% initial accuracy at 25 °C, ultra-low 10 µA operating current, 35 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and low 10 µVp-p LF noise. It operates across –40 to +85 °C and is used in high-accuracy analog signal conditioning stages of portable data loggers.
For engineers reviewing the TS4061AICT-1.25 datasheet, TS4061AICT-1.25 pinout, TS4061AICT-1.25 application, or TS4061AICT-1.25 equivalent, key selection criteria include shunt reference stability under capacitive loads, thermal hysteresis (120 ppm), static impedance (0.15–0.3 Ω), and SOT323-3L footprint constraints for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The TS4061AICT-1.25 functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking current to regulate voltage at its cathode terminal. Its operation requires an external current source and load resistor, with regulation established when cathode-to-anode voltage reaches 1.25 V within ±0.1% tolerance at 25 °C.
It delivers stable performance across industrial temperatures via internal curvature compensation, achieving ≤35 ppm/°C tempco and <1 mV voltage shift over 10 µA–1 mA operating current range. Thermal hysteresis is specified at 120 ppm, and it remains stable with capacitive loads up to 100 nF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.25 V ±0.1% at 25 °C - defines absolute ADC reference accuracy in 12-bit+ systems |
| Operating Current | 10 µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered sensors |
| Tempco | ≤35 ppm/°C - limits drift to <1.05 mV over full –40 to +85 °C range |
| LF Noise | 10 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz) - preserves SNR in precision instrumentation front-ends |
| Static Impedance | 0.15–0.3 Ω - ensures minimal load-induced error in ratiometric sensor bridges |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 120 ppm - constrains repeatability error after thermal cycling in field-deployed equipment |
Pinout & Package
TS4061AICT-1.25 is housed in a SOT323-3L package (1.8 × 1.35 × 0.8 mm), optimized for ultra-compact PCB layouts. Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is Cathode, and Pin 3 is NC (No Connect), which must remain unconnected or tied to Anode per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference return path | Connected to system ground or current-source return; defines reference node potential |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Regulated output node | Voltage at this terminal is stabilized at 1.25 V; sinks all operating current |
| NC (Pin 3) | Unused terminal | Must be left floating or connected to Anode; no internal connection or function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 10 µA enables direct use with high-value bias resistors (>1 MΩ) in energy-harvesting nodes |
| Capacitive-load stability | Stable with ≥100 nF bypass caps - eliminates need for series isolation resistors in noisy environments |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 120 ppm ensures repeatable calibration after field temperature excursions in outdoor monitoring gear |
| High initial accuracy | ±0.1% eliminates post-manufacturing trimming in medical-grade analog front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | Adjustable (2.5 V min), ±0.5% initial accuracy, 80 µA typical IQ | Requires external resistor divider; higher current increases power in battery systems | Choose when adjustable output or tighter tempco (30 ppm/°C) is needed despite lower accuracy |
| REF3012AIDBZR | Series reference, 1.2 V output, ±0.2% accuracy, 50 µA IQ, SO-6 package | Three-terminal architecture requires separate input/output pins; larger footprint | Prefer when supply headroom allows series topology and lower noise (3.9 µVRMS) is critical |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and REF3012AIDBZR, TS4061AICT-1.25 offers the lowest operating current and smallest footprint among 1.25 V references, making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained shunt configurations where fixed output suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current required for regulation?
The TS4061AICT-1.25 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. Below this threshold, the cathode voltage drops below 1.25 V, causing loss of reference accuracy and increased output impedance.
Can TS4061AICT-1.25 drive a 100 nF capacitive load directly?
Yes - the device is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with up to 100 nF capacitive loads, as confirmed by startup waveform testing in the datasheet (Figure 9). No series isolation resistor is required, 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 mandates it be left unconnected or tied to the Anode (Pin 1); connecting it elsewhere may compromise thermal performance or cause undefined behavior due to parasitic coupling.
How does thermal hysteresis affect calibration repeatability?
Thermal hysteresis is measured as 120 ppm - the voltage difference observed at 25 °C after cycling to –40 °C versus after cycling to +85 °C. This translates to ~0.15 mV deviation, directly impacting recalibration intervals in field-deployed instruments where ambient temperature swings occur repeatedly.
