Long-Term Drift of Output Voltage (Note 8) LTC6655MS8
LTC6655LS8
Hysteresis (Note 9)
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: Precision may be affected if the parts are stored outside of the
specified temperature range. Large temperature changes may cause
changes in device performance due to thermal hysteresis. For best
performance, extreme temperatures should be avoided whenever possible.
Note 3: The stated temperature is typical for soldering of the leads during
manual rework. For detailed IR reflow recommendations, refer to the
Applications Information section.
Note 4: Temperature coefficient is measured by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 5: Load regulation is measured on a pulse basis from no load to
the specified load current. Load current does not include the 2mA sense
current. Output changes due to die temperature change must be taken into
account separately.
Note 6: Excludes load regulation errors. Minimum supply for the
LTC6655‑1.25, LTC6655-2.048 and LTC6655-2.5 is set by internal
circuitry supply requirements, regardless of load condition. Minimum
supply for the LTC6655-3, LTC6655-3.3, LTC6655-4.096 and LTC6655-5
is specified by load current.
Note 7: Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a 2-pole highpass filter at
0.1Hz and 3-pole lowpass filter at 10Hz. The unit is enclosed in a still-air
environment to eliminate thermocouple effects on the leads, and the
test time is 10 seconds. Due to the statistical nature of noise, repeating
ppmP-P
ppmRMS
noise measurements will yield larger and smaller peak values in a given
measurement interval. By repeating the measurement for 1000 intervals,
each 10 seconds long, it is shown that there are time intervals during
which the noise is higher than in a typical single interval, as predicted by
statistical theory. In general, typical values are considered to be those for
which at least 50% of the units may be expected to perform similarly or
better. For the 1000 interval test, a typical unit will exhibit noise that is
less than the typical value listed in the Electrical Characteristics table in
more than 50% of its measurement intervals. See Application Note 124 for
noise testing details. RMS noise is measured with a spectrum analyzer in a
shielded environment.
Note 8: Long-term stability typically has a logarithmic characteristic and
therefore, changes after 1000 hours tend to be much smaller than before
that time. Total drift in the second thousand hours is normally less than
one-third that of the first thousand hours with a continuing trend toward
reduced drift with time. Long-term stability is also affected by differential
stresses between the IC and the board material created during board
assembly.
Note 9: Hysteresis in output voltage is created by mechanical stress
that differs depending on whether the IC was previously at a higher or
lower temperature. Output voltage is always measured at 25°C, but
the IC is cycled to the hot or cold temperature limit before successive
measurements. Hysteresis is roughly proportional to the square of the
temperature change. For instruments that are stored at well controlled
temperatures (within 20 or 30 degrees of operational temperature),
hysteresis is usually not a significant error source. Typical hysteresis is the
worst case of 25°C to cold to 25°C or 25°C to hot to 25°C, preconditioned
by one thermal cycle.

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Characteristic curves are similar for most voltage options of the LTC6655. Curves from the LTC6655-1.25, LTC6655-2.5 and the
LTC6655-5 represent the range of performance across the entire family of references. Characteristic curves for other output voltages
fall between these curves and can be estimated based on their voltage output.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SHDN (Pin 1): Shutdown Input. This active low input
powers down the device to <20µA. If left open, an internal
pull-up resistor puts the part in normal operation. It is
recommended to tie this pin high externally for best
performance during normal operation.
VOUT_S (Pin 6): VOUT Sense Pin. Connect this pin at the
load and route with a wide metal trace to minimize load
regulation errors. This pin sinks 2mA. Output error is
RTRACE • 2mA, regardless of load current. For load currents
<100µA, tie directly to VOUT_F pin.
VIN (Pin 2): Power Supply. Bypass VIN with a 0.1µF, or
larger, capacitor to GND.
VOUT_F (Pin 7): VOUT Force Pin. This pin sources and
sinks current to the load. An output capacitor of 2.7µF to
100µF is required.
GND (Pin 4): Device Ground. This pin is the main ground
and must be connected to a noise-free ground plane.
GND (Pins 3, 5, 8): Internal Function. Ground these pins.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Bypass and Load Capacitors
The LTC6655 voltage references require a 0.1µF or larger
input capacitor located close to the part to improve power
supply rejection. An output capacitor with a value between
2.7µF and 100µF is also required.
The output capacitor has a direct effect on the stability,
turn-on time and settling behavior. Choose a capacitor
with low ESR to insure stability. Resistance in series with
the output capacitor (ESR) introduces a zero in the output
buffer transfer function and could cause instability. The
2.7μF to 100μF range includes several types of capacitors
that are readily available as through-hole and surface mount
components. It is recommended to keep ESR less than or
equal to 0.1Ω. Capacitance and ESR are both frequency
dependent. At higher frequencies capacitance drops and
ESR increases. To insure stable operation the output capacitor should have the required values at 100kHz.
In order to achieve the best performance, caution should be
used when choosing a capacitor. X7R ceramic capacitors
are small, come in appropriate values and are relatively
stable over a wide temperature range. However, for a low
noise application X7R capacitors may not be suitable since
they may exhibit a piezoelectric effect. The mechanical
vibrations cause a charge displacement in the ceramic
dielectric and the resulting perturbation can look like noise.
If X7R capacitors are necessary, a thorough bench evaluation should be completed to verify proper performance.
For very low noise applications where every nanovolt
counts, film capacitors should be considered for their
low noise and lack of piezoelectric effects. Film capacitors such as polyester, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and
polypropylene have good temperature stability. Additional
care must be taken as polystyrene and polypropylene have
an upper temperature limit of 85°C to 105°C. Above these
temperatures, the working voltages need to be derated
according to manufacturer’s specifications. Another type
of film capacitor is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). These
devices work over a wide temperature range, are stable,
and have large capacitance values beyond 1μF. In general,
film capacitors are found in surface mount and leaded
packages. Table 1 is a partial list of capacitor companies
and some of their available products.
In voltage reference applications, film capacitor lifetime
is affected by temperature and applied voltage. When
polyester capacitors are operated beyond their rated
temperatures (some capacitors are not rated for operation
above 85°C) they need to be derated. Voltage derating is
usually accomplished as a ratio of applied voltage to rated
voltage limit. Contact specific film capacitor manufacturers to determine exact lifetime and derating information.
The lifetime of X7R capacitors is long, especially for
reference applications. Capacitor lifetime is degraded by
operating near or exceeding the rated voltage, at high
temperature, with AC ripple or some combination of these.
Most reference applications have AC ripple only during
transient events.

The choice of output capacitor also affects the bandwidth
of the reference circuitry and resultant noise peaking. As
shown in Figure 1, the bandwidth is inversely proportional
to the value of the output capacitor.

NOISE VOLTAGE (nV√Hz)
Noise peaking is related to the phase margin of the output
buffer. Higher peaking generally indicates lower phase
margin. Other factors affecting noise peaking are temperature, input voltage, and output load current.

The LTC6655 family of references can be shut down by

resistor tied to this pin. If left unconnected this pin rises to
VIN and the part is enabled. Due to the low internal pull-up
current, it is recommended that the SHDN pin be pulled

To control shutdown from a low voltage source, a MOSFET
can be used as a pull-down device as shown in Figure 9.
Note that an external resistor is unnecessary. A MOSFET
with a low drain-to-source leakage over the operating
temperature range should be chosen to avoid inadvertently
pulling down the SHDN pin. A resistor may be added from
SHDN to VIN to overcome excessive MOSFET leakage.
The SHDN thresholds have some dependency on VIN
and temperature as shown in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section. Avoid leaving SHDN at a voltage
between the thresholds as this will cause an increase in
supply current due to shoot-through current.

Long-term drift cannot be extrapolated from accelerated
high temperature testing. This erroneous technique gives
drift numbers that are wildly optimistic. The only way
long-term drift can be determined is to measure it over
the time interval of interest.
The LTC6655 long-term drift data was collected on 80 parts
that were soldered into printed circuit boards similar to a
real world application. The boards were then placed into a
constant temperature oven with a TA = 35°C, their outputs
were scanned regularly and measured with an 8.5 digit
DVM. Typical long-term drift is illustrated in Figure 10a.
The hermetic LS8 package provides additional stability as
shown in Figure 10b.

Hysteresis
Thermal hysteresis is a measure of change of output
voltage as a result of temperature cycling. Figure 11
illustrates the typical hysteresis based on data taken from
the LTC6655-2.5. A proprietary design technique minimizes
thermal hysteresis.
Humidity Sensitivity
Plastic mould compounds absorb water. With changes in
relative humidity, plastic packaging materials change the
amount of pressure they apply to the die inside, which
can cause slight changes in the output of a voltage reference, usually on the order of 100ppm. The LS8 package is
hermetic, so it is not affected by humidity, and is therefore
more stable in environments where humidity may be a
14
Figure 11. Hysteresis Plot –40°C to 125°C
For best stability, the PC board layout is critical. Change
in temperature and position of the PC board, as well as
aging, can alter the mechanical stress applied to components soldered to the board. FR4 and similar materials also
absorb water, causing the board to swell. Even conformal
coating or potting of the board does not always eliminate
this effect, though it may delay the symptoms by reducing
the rate of absorption.
Power and ground planes should be omitted under the
voltage reference IC for best stability. Figure 12a shows a
tab cut through the PC board on three sides of an LTC6655,
which significantly reduces stress on the IC, as described
in Application Note 82. For even better performance, Figure
12b shows slots cut through the PC board on all four sides.
The slots should be as long as possible, and the corners
just large enough to accommodate routing of traces. It
has been shown that for PC boards designed in this way,
humidity sensitivity can be reduced to less than 35ppm
for a change in relative humidity of approximately 60%.
Mounting the reference near the center of the board, with
slots on four sides, can further reduce the sensitivity to
less than 10ppm.
An additional advantage of slotting the PC board is that the
LTC6655 is thermally isolated from surrounding circuitry.
This can help reduce thermocouple effects and improve
accuracy.

options display similar behavior.
The MSOP8 package has a thermal resistance (θJA)
equal to 300°C/W. Under the maximum loaded condition,
the increase in die temperature is over 35°C. If operated at

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PC Board Layout
The LTC6655 reference is a precision device that is factory trimmed to an initial accuracy of ±0.025%, as shown
in the Typical Performance Characteristic section. The
mechanical stress caused by soldering parts to a printed
circuit board may cause the output voltage to shift and
the temperature coefficient to change.
To reduce the effects of stress-related shifts, mount the
reference near the short edge of a printed circuit board
or in a corner. In addition, slots can be cut into the board
on two sides of the device to reduce mechanical stress.
A thicker and smaller board is stiffer and less prone to
bend. Finally, use stress relief, such as flexible standoffs,
when mounting the board.
Additional precautions include making sure the solder
joints are clean and the board is flux free to avoid leakage
paths. A sample PCB layout is shown in Figure 15.
VIN
The VOUT_S pin sinks 2mA, which is unusual for a Kelvin
connection. However, this is required to achieve the
exceptional low noise performance. The I • R drop on the
VOUT_S line directly affects load regulation. The VOUT_S
trace should be as short and wide as practical to minimize
series resistance The VOUT_S trace adds error as RTRACE
• 2mA, so a 0.1Ω trace adds 200µV error. The VOUT_F pin
is not as important as the VOUT_S pin in this regard. An
I • R drop on the VOUT_F pin increases the minimum supply
voltage when sourcing current, but does not directly affect
load regulation. For light loading of the output (maximum
output current <100µA), VOUT_S should be tied to VOUT_F
by the shortest possible path to reduce errors caused by
resistance in the sense trace.
Careful attention to grounding is also important, especially when sourcing current. The return load current can
produce an I • R drop causing poor load regulation. Use
a “star” ground connection and minimize the ground to
load metal resistance. Although there are several pins that
are required to be connected to ground, Pin 4 is the actual
ground for return current.
Optimal Noise Performance
GND
The LTC6655 offers extraordinarily low noise for a bandgap
reference—only 0.25ppm in 0.1Hz to 10Hz. As a result,
system noise performance may be dominated by system
design and physical layout.

Some care is required to achieve the best possible noise
performance. The use of dissimilar metals in component
leads and PC board traces creates thermocouples. Variations in thermal resistance, caused by uneven air flow,
create differential lead temperatures, thereby causing
thermoelectric voltage noise at the output of the reference. Minimizing the number of thermocouples, as well
as limiting airflow, can substantially reduce these errors.
Additional information can be found in Linear Technology
Application Note 82. Position the input and load capacitors
close to the part. Although the LTC6655 has a DC PSRR
of over 100dB, the power supply should be as stable as
possible to guarantee optimal performance. A plot of the

can be further improved by wiring several LTC6655s in
parallel as shown in the Typical Applications section. With
this technique the noise is reduced by √N, where N is the
number of LTC6655s in parallel.
Noise Specification
Noise in any frequency band is a random function based
on physical properties such as thermal noise, shot noise,
and flicker noise. The most precise way to specify a random
error such as noise is in terms of its statistics, for example
as an RMS value. This allows for relatively simple maximum
error estimation, generally involving assumptions about
noise bandwidth and crest factor. Unlike wideband noise,
low frequency noise, typically specified in a 0.1Hz to 10Hz
band, has traditionally been specified in terms of expected
error, illustrated as peak-to-peak error. Low frequency
noise is generally measured with an oscilloscope over a
10 second time frame. This is a pragmatic approach, given
that it can be difficult to measure noise accurately at low
frequencies, and that it can also be difficult to agree on the
statistical characteristics of the noise, since flicker noise
dominates the spectral density. While practical, a random
sampling of 10 second intervals is an inadequate method
for representation of low frequency noise, especially for
systems where this noise is a dominant limit of system
performance. Given the random nature of noise, the output
voltage may be observed over many time intervals, each
giving different results. Noise specifications that were
determined using this method are prone to subjectivity,
and will tend toward a mean statistical value, rather than
the maximum noise that is likely to be produced by the
device in question.
Because the majority of voltage reference data sheets
express low frequency noise as a typical number, and as
it tends to be illustrated with a repeatable plot near the
mean of a distribution of peak-to-peak values, the LTC6655
data sheet provides a similarly defined typical specification
in order to allow a reasonable direct comparison against
similar products. Data produced with this method generally suggests that in a series of 10 second output voltage
measurements, at least half the observations should have
a peak-to-peak value that is below this number. For example, the LTC6655-2.5 measures less than 0.25ppmP-P
in at least 50% of the 10 second observations.
As mentioned above, the statistical distribution of noise
is such that if observed for long periods of time, the
peak error in output voltage due to noise may be much
larger than that observed in a smaller interval. The likely
maximum error due to noise is often estimated using the
RMS value, multiplied by an estimated crest factor, assumed to be in the range of 6 to 8.4. This maximum possible
value will only be observed if the output voltage is measured
for very long periods of time. Therefore, in addition to the
common method, a more thorough approach to measuring
noise has been used for the LTC6655 (described in detail in
Linear Technology’s AN124) that allows more information
to be obtained from the result. In particular, this method
characterizes the noise over a significantly greater length
of time, resulting in a more complete description of low
frequency noise. The peak-to-peak voltage is measured
for 10 second intervals over hundreds of intervals. In addition, an electronic peak-detect circuit stores an objective
value for each interval. The results are then summarized in
terms of the fraction of measurement intervals for which
observed noise is below a specified level. For example,
the LTC6655-2.5 measures less than 0.27ppmP-P in 80%
of the measurement intervals, and less than 0.295ppmP-P
in 95% of observation intervals. This statistical variation
in noise is illustrated in Table 2 and Figure 18. The test
circuit is shown in Figure 17.

This method of testing low frequency noise is superior to
more common methods. The results yield a comprehensive
statistical description, rather than a single observation. In
addition, the direct measurement of output voltage over
time gives an actual representation of peak noise, rather
than an estimate based on statistical assumptions such as
crest factor. Additional information can be derived from
a measurement of low frequency noise spectral density,
as shown in Figure 19.

of expansion and contraction. After a part undergoes the
extreme heat of a lead-free IR reflow profile, like the one
shown in Figure 20, the output voltage shifts. After the
device expands, due to the heat, and then contracts, the
stresses on the die have changed position. This shift is
similar, but more extreme than thermal hysteresis.

IR Reflow Shift
The mechanical stress of soldering a part to a board can
cause the output voltage to shift. Moreover, the heat of
an IR reflow or convection soldering oven can also cause
the output voltage to shift. The materials that make up a
semiconductor device and its package have different rates
NUMBER OF UNITS
It should be noted from Figure 19 that the LTC6655 has
not only a low wideband noise, but an exceptionally low
flicker noise corner of 1Hz! This substantially reduces
low frequency noise, as well as long-term variation in
peak noise.
