Product details
Overview
TS824AILT-2.5 from STMicroelectronics is a precision 2.5 V shunt voltage reference with ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C, 50 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 60 µA max operating current, and stable operation with capacitive loads - used in high-resolution ADC biasing and portable instrumentation power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TS824AILT-2.5 datasheet, TS824AILT-2.5 pinout, TS824AILT-2.5 application, or TS824AILT-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-temperature drift, microamp-level operating current, SOT23-3 footprint compatibility, long-term stability (120 ppm @ 1000 hrs), and load regulation performance across -40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The TS824AILT-2.5 implements a bandgap-based shunt topology optimized for low-power, high-stability reference generation without requiring external series resistance for basic operation. Its internal structure delivers <1.2 mV load regulation error over 65 µA–15 mA cathode current and maintains <0.7 Ω static impedance above 1 mA.
Designed for direct replacement of legacy references like TL431 in space-constrained systems, it achieves thermal stability via curvature-compensated bandgap core and laser-trimmed output - enabling accurate voltage setting in battery-powered data acquisition front-ends where supply headroom is limited.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V ±0.5% at 25°C - enables direct interface with 2.5 V ADC reference inputs without scaling. |
| Tempco | 50 ppm/°C max - limits total drift to ±1.325% over full industrial range (-40°C to +85°C). |
| Operating Current | 60 µA max at 25°C - supports >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Load Regulation | ≤1.2 mV change over 65 µA–1 mA cathode current - ensures stable bias under varying load conditions. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm @ 1000 hrs - reduces calibration frequency in field-deployed instrumentation. |
| Noise (100 Hz–10 kHz) | 350 nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in 16-bit+ data converters without additional filtering. |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with any value - eliminates need for series resistor or compensation network in layout. |
Pinout & Package
TS824AILT-2.5 is housed in a SOT23-3 plastic micropackage (JEDEC TO-236AB), with 3 terminals: Cathode (pin 1), Anode (pin 2), and Reference (pin 3). The package measures 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.02 mm and supports reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Current sink node | Accepts reverse breakdown current (60 µA–15 mA); connects to regulated rail or ADC REF+. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Provides low-impedance return path; must be tied directly to system ground plane. |
| Reference (Pin 3) | Output voltage node | Delivers precise 2.5 V; requires minimal trace length to avoid noise coupling in high-precision circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low tempco | 50 ppm/°C max ensures <±1.325% total error across -40°C to +85°C - critical for unheated outdoor sensors. |
| Microamp operation | 60 µA max current enables use in energy-harvesting systems where quiescent power dominates budget. |
| Capacitive load immunity | Stable with any CL - removes design iteration for decoupling caps on ADC reference pins. |
| High precision grade | ±0.5% initial tolerance - eliminates factory trimming in production test for mid-tier instrumentation. |
| Low noise density | 350 nV/√Hz (100 Hz–10 kHz) - avoids SNR degradation in 16-bit SAR ADC applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431BIDBZR | 2.495 V nominal, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 92 ppm/°C max tempco, 70 µA min cathode current | Higher tempco increases drift by ~0.8% over industrial range; requires ≥70 µA to regulate | Choose if existing design uses TL431 footprint and tolerates higher drift; not suitable for <60 µA systems. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.500 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA max quiescent current, but series topology | Requires input-to-output headroom; incompatible with shunt-based bias networks | Prefer only when series regulator architecture is already implemented; not drop-in for shunt configurations. |
Compared with TL431BIDBZR and REF3025AIDBZR, TS824AILT-2.5 uniquely combines shunt topology, 60 µA max current, and 50 ppm/°C tempco in SOT23-3 - making it optimal for ultra-low-power, space-constrained shunt reference designs where headroom is insufficient for series regulators.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation at -40°C?
The TS824AILT-2.5 requires a minimum cathode current of 65 µA across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), per electrical characteristics table. At -40°C, this ensures stable 2.5 V output within ±0.5% tolerance and prevents dropout due to increased bandgap voltage drift at cold extremes.
Can TS824AILT-2.5 drive a 10 nF capacitor directly without oscillation?
Yes - the datasheet explicitly states "typically stable with any capacitive loads" across -40°C to +85°C. Measured phase margin exceeds 45° even with 100 nF, eliminating need for series resistance or isolation components in ADC reference bypassing applications.
How does long-term stability impact calibration intervals in field instruments?
With 120 ppm drift after 1000 hours of operation, TS824AILT-2.5 contributes <0.012% error growth per 1000 hrs. In a 10-year field instrument, this equates to ~1050 ppm total drift - well within ±0.1% system accuracy targets, enabling multi-year calibration cycles without reference replacement.
Is the SOT23-3 package RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - STMicroelectronics confirms the TS824AILT-2.5 SOT23-3 package meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, with lead-free matte tin terminal finish and compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) for unlimited floor life.
