Product details
Overview
TS824ILT-2.5 from STMicroelectronics is a micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a precise 2.5 V output with ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C, 50 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 60 µA typical operating current, and stable operation with capacitive loads - used in precision analog front-ends of portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the TS824ILT-2.5 datasheet, TS824ILT-2.5 pinout, TS824ILT-2.5 application, or TS824ILT-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-temperature drift, cathode current sensitivity (ΔVK/ΔIK ≤ 1.2 mV), static impedance (<1.2 Ω), long-term stability (120 ppm/1000 hrs), and SOT23-3 package compatibility for space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The TS824ILT-2.5 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, regulating voltage by sinking adjustable cathode current (IK = 60 µA to 15 mA) while maintaining tight output tolerance across -40°C to +85°C. Its bandgap-derived core achieves thermal stability via curvature compensation, enabling <50 ppm/°C average TC without external trimming.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance (0.3–1.2 Ω) over full operating current range and delivers wideband noise of 350 nV/√Hz (100 Hz–10 kHz), making it suitable for high-resolution ADC biasing and low-noise sensor excitation where supply rejection is managed externally.
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 references and rail-to-rail op-amp inputs |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤50 ppm/°C - limits total drift to ±1.325% over -40°C to +85°C, critical for uncalibrated field instruments |
| Min Operating Current | 60 µA - supports ultra-low-power wake-up circuits and energy-harvesting sensor nodes |
| Static Impedance | ≤1.2 Ω (IK = IKMIN to 1 mA) - ensures minimal load-induced error in high-impedance divider networks |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs - reduces calibration frequency in deployed industrial monitoring equipment |
| Wideband Noise | 350 nV/√Hz (100 Hz–10 kHz) - avoids noise floor elevation in 16-bit+ SAR ADC reference paths |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 plastic micropackage (JEDEC TO-236AB), 2.9 mm × 2.64 mm footprint, 0.95 mm pitch, 0.5 mm nominal height - optimized for automated placement and high-density PCB layouts in handheld instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode | Current sink node | Connected to regulated voltage node; sets reference point via external resistor to input supply |
| Anode | Ground reference | Return path for cathode current; must be low-impedance to avoid ground bounce errors |
| NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; left floating per datasheet - no routing or soldering required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with any value of capacitive load across full temperature range - eliminates need for series resistance or isolation amplifiers |
| Low Thermal Hysteresis | ≤20 mV shift after thermal cycling (-40°C ↔ +85°C) - preserves calibration integrity in outdoor metering devices |
| ESD Robustness | 2 kV HBM rating - withstands handling in non-ESD-controlled assembly environments without additional protection |
| Start-up Performance | Sub-µs response with 60 µA cathode current - supports fast wake-up in duty-cycled sensor transmitters |
Applications
| Portable Multimeter Front-End | Wireless Sensor Node ADC Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431AILP | 2.5 V, ±0.5%, 100 ppm/°C TC, 80 µA min IK, SOT23-3 | Higher temp drift increases total error to ±1.65% over industrial range | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs long-term stability requirements |
| REF3025AIDBZT | 2.5 V, ±0.2%, 50 ppm/°C TC, 35 µA min IK, SOT23-3, but higher 1/f noise | Lower initial error but 10× higher 0.1–10 Hz noise impacts DC-coupled biosignal chains | Preferred for high-accuracy calibration standards; less suitable for low-frequency sensor interfaces |
Compared with TLVH431AILP and REF3025AIDBZT, the TS824ILT-2.5 uniquely balances ultra-low operating current, industry-leading TC, and low wideband noise - making it optimal for battery-operated precision measurement where both power and AC performance constrain alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current the TS824ILT-2.5 can safely sink?
The TS824ILT-2.5 supports up to 15 mA cathode current under industrial temperature conditions. At 25°C ambient, power dissipation must remain below 360 mW (SOT23-3 package limit); derating applies above 25°C using PDMAX = (150°C − TA) / 340°C/W. Exceeding 15 mA risks thermal runaway or accelerated aging.
Can the TS824ILT-2.5 drive a 10 nF capacitor directly without oscillation?
Yes - the TS824ILT-2.5 is explicitly characterized as stable with "any capacitive load" across -40°C to +85°C, including 10 nF. This is achieved through internal compensation and low output impedance (<1.2 Ω), eliminating need for series resistance or buffer amplifiers in filter or decoupling configurations.
How does the ±0.5% initial tolerance translate to system-level accuracy at 85°C?
At +85°C, total error = ±0.5% (initial) + (50 ppm/°C × 60°C ΔT) = ±0.5% + ±0.3% = ±0.8%. This is confirmed by datasheet electrical characteristics showing ±12.5 mV shift over temperature for the ±0.5% grade - a deterministic, bounded error usable in uncalibrated field deployments.
Is the NC pin on the SOT23-3 package electrically isolated or internally tied?
The NC pin is internally unconnected and electrically isolated - not bonded to die or substrate. STMicroelectronics' mechanical drawing and pin function table confirm it must remain unconnected on PCB layout. Soldering or routing to this pin may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling and is strictly prohibited.
