Product details
Overview
TS4061BICT-1.25 from STMicroelectronics is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a fixed 1.25 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25 °C, ultra-low 10 µA operating current, 35 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 10 µVp-p low-frequency noise-used in high-resolution ADC biasing and portable sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the TS4061BICT-1.25 datasheet, TS4061BICT-1.25 pinout, TS4061BICT-1.25 application, or TS4061BICT-1.25 equivalent, key selection criteria include shunt reference stability under capacitive loads, thermal hysteresis (120 ppm), static impedance (0.15–0.3 Ω), minimum regulation current (12 µA over full temperature range), and SOT323-3L footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
The TS4061BICT-1.25 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking current to maintain a precise 1.25 V cathode-to-anode voltage across its terminals. It achieves regulation without external bias components and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 100 nF, eliminating need for series resistance compensation.
Its bandgap-derived core delivers 20–35 ppm/°C average temperature coefficient and exhibits low thermal hysteresis (120 ppm) due to monolithic silicon construction. The device draws only 10 µA at 25 °C and supports operation from 7.5 µA (25 °C) to 12 µA (-40 to +85 °C) minimum current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.25 V; enables direct replacement of 1.25 V references in DAC/ADC reference chains without resistor scaling. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% at 25 °C (TS4061B grade); ensures ≤12.5 mV absolute error in 12-bit systems at room temperature. |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 35 ppm/°C; contributes ≤3.5 mV drift over -40 to +85 °C industrial range, critical for uncalibrated instrumentation. |
| Operating Current | 10 µA typical at 25 °C; allows >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered data loggers drawing <1 µA average system current. |
| Low-Freq Noise | 10 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz); supports 16-bit+ resolution in precision weigh scales and strain-gauge bridges. |
| Static Impedance | 0.15–0.3 Ω; minimizes load-induced voltage shift in varying-current applications like multiplexed sensor arrays. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 120 ppm; limits repeatability error after thermal cycling-essential for field-deployed calibration equipment. |
Pinout & Package
TS4061BICT-1.25 is housed in a 3-pin SOT323-3L package (1.8 × 1.35 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCBs. Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC (No Connect; must be left floating or tied to anode per datasheet).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground return path | Sinks current from external bias resistor; connects to system GND or low-impedance node to minimize IR drop errors. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Stable 1.25 V output node | Provides regulated voltage to ADC REF+, op-amp reference inputs, or DAC bias networks; requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
| NC (Pin 3) | Unused terminal | Must remain unconnected or tied to anode; no internal connection-incorrect routing causes assembly defects or measurement offsets. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive Load Stability | Operates stably with ≥100 nF ceramic output capacitance-eliminates need for series damping resistors in noisy environments. |
| Micropower Operation | 10 µA typical quiescent current enables use in energy-harvesting nodes where supply current budget is <15 µA. |
| Industrial Temp Range | Guaranteed performance from -40 to +85 °C without derating-supports deployment in outdoor metering and automotive cabin sensors. |
| Low Thermal Hysteresis | 120 ppm voltage shift after -40/+85 °C cycling-preserves calibration integrity in field-replaceable modules. |
| ECOPACK® Compliance | Meets RoHS and halogen-free requirements per ST's ECOPACK2 standard-qualified for consumer and industrial green procurement programs. |

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 (2.495 V min), ±0.5% initial accuracy, 80 µA typical Iq, SOT23-5 | Requires external resistor divider; higher current increases power in ultra-low-power designs | Select when adjustable output or higher voltage (>1.25 V) is required; avoid for fixed 1.25 V micropower use. |
| REF3012AIDBZR | Series reference, 1.2 V output, ±0.2% accuracy, 50 µA Iq, SOT23-3 | Three-terminal architecture requires separate input/output pins; less tolerant of capacitive loading | Choose for low-noise series topology where input voltage margin permits; not suitable as direct shunt drop-in. |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and REF3012AIDBZR, TS4061BICT-1.25 uniquely combines fixed 1.25 V, 10 µA operation, and shunt topology in SOT323-3L-making it optimal for space- and power-constrained 1.25 V reference needs where simplicity and minimal board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for TS4061BICT-1.25 across its full temperature range?
The TS4061BICT-1.25 requires a minimum operating current of 12 µA over the full -40 to +85 °C industrial temperature range to maintain regulation. At 25 °C, the minimum is 7.5 µA, but design must ensure ≥12 µA under worst-case thermal conditions to guarantee 1.25 V output stability and specified accuracy.
Can TS4061BICT-1.25 drive a 100 nF capacitor directly without oscillation?
Yes-the TS4061BICT-1.25 is explicitly characterized for stable operation with up to 100 nF capacitive loads, as confirmed in Figure 9 of the datasheet. No series resistor or isolation is required, enabling direct decoupling at the reference node for noise-sensitive ADC applications.
Is Pin 3 (NC) electrically connected internally?
No-Pin 3 is a true no-connect terminal with no internal silicon connection. The datasheet states it "must be left unconnected or connected to anode"; tying it to anode is permissible for mechanical reinforcement but provides no electrical benefit and must not be tied to any other potential.
How does thermal hysteresis impact calibration retention in field-deployed devices?
Thermal hysteresis of 120 ppm means the output voltage may shift by up to 150 µV after cycling between -40 °C and +85 °C and returning to 25 °C. This affects zero-point repeatability in portable calibration tools and must be accounted for in NIST-traceable instrument specifications where multi-cycle stability is mandated.
