Product details
Overview
TS824ILT-1.2 from STMicroelectronics is a micropower shunt voltage reference delivering 1.225 V ±1% at 25°C, with 50 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 45 µA max operating current, and stable operation with capacitive loads - used in precision ADC biasing and portable instrumentation power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TS824ILT-1.2 datasheet, TS824ILT-1.2 pinout, TS824ILT-1.2 application, or TS824ILT-1.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-temperature drift, SOT23-3 footprint compatibility, cathode-current-dependent output stability, and long-term drift of 120 ppm over 1000 hours.
Technical Context
The TS824ILT-1.2 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, regulating voltage by sinking adjustable cathode current (40–12 mA) while maintaining 1.225 V across its terminals. Its internal bandgap core achieves thermal stability via curvature compensation, enabling ±1.325% total tolerance over –40°C to +85°C.
It exhibits low static impedance (0.25–1.5 Ω), wide-band noise of 200 nV/√Hz (100 Hz–10 kHz), and guaranteed start-up at 100 µA cathode current - making it suitable for low-power sensor signal conditioning where supply headroom is constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.225 V ±1% at 25°C - sets precise bias point for 12-bit+ SAR ADCs and low-voltage comparators |
| Tempco | 50 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤±0.0325 V drift over full industrial range (–40°C to +85°C) |
| Operating Current | 40–12,000 µA - supports ultra-low-power sleep modes and high-accuracy active regulation |
| Static Impedance | 0.25–1.5 Ω - ensures minimal load-induced voltage shift under dynamic current demand |
| Long-Term Drift | 120 ppm / 1000 hrs - enables calibration-free operation in field-deployed data loggers |
| Noise (100 Hz–10 kHz) | 200 nV/√Hz - avoids degradation of ENOB in 16-bit delta-sigma ADC front-ends |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with any value - eliminates need for external isolation resistors in battery-monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
TS824ILT-1.2 is housed in a SOT23-3 plastic micropackage (JEDEC TO-236AB), measuring 2.90 × 2.64 × 1.02 mm, with gull-wing leads and 0.95 mm pitch. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and has RTHJA = 340°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode | Current sink node | Connected to regulated voltage rail; current drawn here determines reference accuracy and thermal dissipation |
| Anode | Ground reference | Return path for cathode current; must be low-impedance to avoid ground bounce errors |
| NC | No connection | Pin 3 is internally unconnected - must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 45 µA max quiescent current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors |
| Low tempco | 50 ppm/°C max ensures <±0.01 V error in outdoor industrial enclosures without active thermal control |
| Capacitive-load immunity | Stable with 0–10 µF ceramic or tantalum loads - simplifies PCB layout in space-constrained wearables |
| High precision at 25°C | ±1% initial tolerance reduces system-level calibration overhead in factory-programmed medical devices |
| Robust ESD rating | 2 kV HBM protects against handling damage during manual assembly of portable test equipment |

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 | 2.5 V fixed output; 100 ppm/°C max tempco; 80 µA typical IQ | Requires external resistor divider for 1.225 V; higher noise (350 nV/√Hz) | Choose when existing design uses TLVH431 footprint and 2.5 V is acceptable with scaling |
| REF3012AIDBZR | 1.2 V output; 50 ppm/°C max; 50 µA max IQ; series topology | Three-terminal series regulator - needs input headroom; not drop-in for shunt configurations | Prefer only if supply margin allows ≥1.7 V input and board redesign accommodates extra pin |
Compared with TLVH431AIDBZR and REF3012AIDBZR, the TS824ILT-1.2 uniquely combines 1.225 V output, shunt topology, and 45 µA max current - enabling direct replacement in legacy SOT23-3 shunt reference layouts without resistor recalculations or PCB changes.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation?
The TS824ILT-1.2 requires a minimum cathode current of 40 µA at 25°C to maintain regulation within specification. At full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), the minimum increases to 50 µA. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates nonlinearly and cannot be guaranteed.
Can TS824ILT-1.2 drive a 10 µF ceramic capacitor directly?
Yes - the device is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with any capacitive load, including 10 µF X7R ceramics, across the full –40°C to +85°C range. No series isolation resistor is needed, unlike many competing shunt references.
How does long-term drift impact calibration intervals?
With 120 ppm drift over 1000 hours (≈6 weeks), the TS824ILT-1.2 accumulates ~250 ppm drift per year. For systems requiring <0.1% absolute accuracy, annual recalibration is recommended - aligning with typical field maintenance cycles for industrial instrumentation.
Is Pin 3 (NC) safe to connect to ground?
Yes - Pin 3 is internally unconnected and may be tied to ground without affecting performance. Doing so improves mechanical stability during reflow and reduces potential for floating-node noise coupling in high-EMI environments like motor drives.
