APPLICATIONS
The LT®6656 is a tiny precision voltage reference that
draws less than 1µA of supply current and can operate
with a supply voltage within 10mV of the output voltage.
The LT6656 offers an initial accuracy of 0.05% and temperature drift of 10ppm/°C. The combined low power and
precision characteristics are ideal for portable and battery
powered instrumentation.
The LT6656 can supply up to 5mA of output drive with
65ppm/mA of load regulation, allowing it to be used as
the supply voltage and the reference input to a low power
ADC. The LT6656 can accept a supply voltage up to 18V
and withstand the reversal of the input connections.
The LT6656 output is stable with 1µF or larger output
capacitance and operates with a wide range of output
capacitor ESR.
This reference is fully specified for operation from –40°C
to 85°C, and is functional over the extreme temperature
range of –55°C to 125°C. Low hysteresis and a consistent
temperature drift are obtained through advanced design,
processing and packaging techniques.
The LT6656 is offered in the 6-lead SOT-23, (2mm ×
2mm) DFN, and 8-lead LS8 Packages. The LS8 is a 5mm
× 5mm surface mount hermetic package that provides
outstanding stability.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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: The LT6656C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LT6656C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or
QA sampled at these temperatures. The LT6656I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. By design, the LT6656 is
guaranteed functional over the operating temperature range of –55°C to
125°C.
Note 3: If the LT6656 is stored outside of the specified temperature range,
the output may shift due to hysteresis.
Note 4: The stated temperature is typical for soldering of the leads during
manual rework. For detailed IR reflow recommendations, refer to the
Applications section.
Note 5: Temperature coefficient is measured by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 6: Load regulation is measured with a pulse from no load to the
specified load current. Output changes due to die temperature change
must be taken into account separately.
Note 7: Excludes load regulation errors.
Note 8: Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a 3-pole highpass filter at
0.1Hz and a 4-pole lowpass filter at 10Hz. The unit is enclosed in a still-air
environment to eliminate thermocouple effects on the leads. The test
time is 10 seconds. RMS noise is measured on a spectrum analyzer in a
shielded environment.
Note 9: 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 will also be affected by
differential stresses between the IC and the board material created during
board assembly.
Note 10: 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. For instruments that are stored at well controlled
temperatures (within 20 or 30 degrees of operational temperature)
hysteresis is usually not a dominant 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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Long Battery Life
Output Voltage Options
Series references have a large advantage over shunt style
references. Shunt references require a resistor from the
power supply to operate. This resistor must be chosen
to supply the maximum current that can be demanded by
the load. When the load is not operating at this maximum
current, the shunt reference must always sink this current,
resulting in high dissipation and shortened battery life.
The performance of the LT6656 is consistent for the 2.048V
to 5V options. The 1.25V option has slightly reduced load
regulation, and unlike the higher voltage options, the
minimum operating supply voltage is limited by internal
circuitry rather than the output voltage.
The LT6656 series reference does not require a current
setting resistor and is specified to operate with any supply
from 1.5V to 18V, depending on the output voltage option,
load current and operating temperature (see Dropout
Voltage and Minimum Input Voltage in the Typical Performance Characteristics). When the load does not demand
current, the LT6656 reduces its dissipation and battery life
is extended. If the reference is not delivering load current,
it dissipates only a few µW, yet the same connection can
deliver 5mA of load current when required.
Start-Up
To ensure proper start-up, the output voltage should be
between –0.3V and the rated output voltage. If the output
load may be driven more than 0.3V below ground, a low
forward voltage schottky diode from the output to ground
is required. The turn-on characteristics can be seen in
Figure 1.
VIN
1V/DIV
VOUT
1ms/DIV
6656 F01
Parameters that are based on changes in the output voltage,
such as load regulation and hysteresis, remain proportional
to the output voltage and are specified in relative units,
for example, parts per million (ppm). Parameters that
are not based on changes in the output voltage, such as
supply current and reverse input current, are the same
for all options.
The bandwidth of the LT6656 decreases with higher output
voltage. This causes parameters that are affected by both
bandwidth and output voltage, such as wideband noise
and output impedance, to increase less with higher output
voltage.
Bypass and Load Capacitance
The LT6656 voltage reference needs a 0.1μF input bypass
capacitor placed within an inch of the input pin. An additional 2.2μF capacitor should be used when the source
impedance of the input supply is high or when driving
heavy loads. The bypassing of other local devices may
serve as the required components. The output of the
LT6656 requires a capacitance of 1µF or larger. The LT6656
is stable with a wide variety of capacitor types including
ceramic, tantalum and electrolytic due to its low sensitivity
to ESR (5Ω or less).
The test circuit in Figure 2 was used to test the response
and stability of the LT6656 to various load currents. The
resultant transient responses can be seen in Figure 3 and
Figure 4. The large scale output response to a 500mV input
step is shown in Figure 5 with a more detailed photo and
description in the Output Settling section.

The settling time is typically less than 8ms for output loads
up to 5mA, however the time required to settle when the
load is turned off or in response to an input transient can be
significantly longer due to the dead band (shown in Figure
7). During this interval the output stage is neither sourcing
nor sinking current so the settling time is dominated by
the ability of the application circuit to discharge the output
capacitor to the voltage at which the sourcing circuitry
in the output stage reactivates. Larger load currents will
decrease the settling time and higher output capacitance
will increase the settling time.
In application circuits where the LT6656 is experiencing
a load step greater than 5µA, such as an ADC reference
and supply implementation, the settling time will typically
remain less than 8ms, regardless of the output settling
from a previous load step.
The settling time can be estimated by the following
equation:

The deadband is ≈7mV for the 2.5V option, is proportional
to the voltage option (i.e., ≈14mV for the 5V option) and
can double due to variations in processing.
The graph in Figure 6 shows the settling time versus load
step with no load and with a constant 2µA load applied.
Note the settling time can be longer with load steps that
are not large enough to activate the sinking side of the

The output of the LT6656 is primarily designed to source
current into a load, but is capable of sinking current to
aid in output transient recovery. The output stage uses a
class B architecture to minimize quiescent current and
has a crossover dead band as the output transitions from
sourcing to sinking current.

Figure 7. Detailed Output Response to a 0.5V Input Step,
CIN = CL = 1µF
The photo in Figure 7 shows the output response to a 0.5V
input step in both a no-load and 5µA load condition. In
the no-load condition only the bias current of the internal
bandgap reference (about 400nA) is available to discharge
the output capacitor.
Output Noise
Low frequency noise is proportional to the output voltage
and is insensitive to output current and moderate levels
of output capacitance.
Wideband noise increases less with higher output voltage
and is proportional to the bandwidth of the output stage,
increasing with higher load current and lower output
capacitance.
Peaking in the noise response is another factor contributing to the output noise level for a given frequency range.
Noise peaking can be reduced by increasing the size of the
output capacitor when driving heavier loads, or conversely,
reducing the size of the output capacitor when driving
lighter loads. Noise plots in the Typical Performance Curves
section show noise spectrum with various load currents
and output capacitances.
Internal Protection
The LT6656 incorporates several internal protection
features that make it ideal for use in battery powered
systems. Reverse input protection limits the input current to typically less than 40µA when either the LT6656
or the battery is installed backwards. In systems where
Long-term drift cannot be extrapolated from accelerated
high temperature testing. This erroneous technique gives
drift numbers that are wildly optimistic. A more realistic
way to determine long-term drift is to measure it over the
time interval of interest. The LT6656 drift data was taken
over 100 parts that were soldered onto PC boards in a
typical application configuration. The boards were then
placed into a constant temperature oven with TA = 30°C,
their outputs scanned regularly and measured with an
8.5 digit DVM. The parts chosen in the Long Term Drift
curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section
represent high, low and typical units.
Hysteresis
Hysteresis on the LT6656 is measured in two steps, for
example, from 25°C to –40°C to 25°C, then from 25°C to
85°C to 25°C, for the industrial temperature range. After
preconditioning by one thermal cycle, this two-step cycle
is repeated several times and the maximum hysteresis
from all the partial cycles is noted.
Results over both commercial and industrial temperature
ranges are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9. The parts cycled
over the higher temperature range have a higher hysteresis
than those cycled over the lower range.
Power Dissipation
The LT6656 will not exceed the maximum junction temperature when operating within its specified temperature
range of –40°C to 85°C, maximum input voltage of 18V
and specified load current of 5mA.
IR Reflow Shift
The different expansion and contraction rates of the materials that make up the LT6656 package may induce small
stresses on the die that can cause the output to shift during

IR reflow. Common lead free IR reflow profiles reach over
250°C, considerably more than lead solder profiles. The
higher reflow temperature of the lead free parts exacerbates
the issue of thermal expansion and contraction causing
the output shift to generally be greater than with a leaded

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. Removing power and ground
planes in the PC board under the voltage reference can
improve the stability significantly.

Plastic mold 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
concern. However, PC board material may absorb water
and apply mechanical stress to the LT6656LS8. Proper
board materials and layout are essential.

PC Board Layout
The mechanical stress of soldering a surface mount voltage reference to a PC board can cause the output voltage
to shift and temperature coefficient to change.
To reduce the effects of stress-related shifts, position
the reference near the short edge of the PC board or in a
corner. In addition, slots can be cut into the board on two
sides of the device. See Application Note AN82 for more
information. http://www.linear.com
The input and output capacitors should be mounted close
to the package. The GND and VOUT traces should be as
Figure 15a shows a tab cut through the PC board on three
sides of an LT6656, which significantly reduces stress
on the IC, as described in Application Note 82. For even
better performance, Figure 15b 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
LT6656 is thermally isolated from surrounding circuitry.
This can help reduce thermocouple effects and improve
accuracy.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Regulator Reference
The robust input and output of the LT6656 along with its
high output current make it an excellent precision low
power regulator as well as a reference. The LT6656 would
be a good match with a small, low power microcontroller.
Using the LT6656 as a regulator reduces power consumption, decreases solution size and increases the accuracy
of the microcontroller’s on board ADC.
only 27.4µA. This system is greatly simplified because
the precision reference does not need to be cycled on and
off to save power. Furthermore, leaving the reference on
continuously eliminates concern for turn-on settling time.

Low Power ADC Reference
Low power ADCs draw only a few µAs during their idle
period and well over 100µA during conversions. Despite
these surges of current, the ADC in reality can have very
low power consumption. Figure 17 shows the LTC2480,
a low power delta sigma ADC. When the ADC is disabled
its quiescent current (IQ) is roughly 1µA, during conversion the IQ jumps up to 160µA. In reality, the power consumption is not only based on the IQ during conversion,
but the real power consumption of the ADC is set by the
conversion time and the sample rate. The LTC2480 shown
in Figure 17 has a conversion time of 160ms which sets
the maximum sample rate of 6 samples per second. The
maximum sample rate also sets the maximum current
consumption to 160µA, but at slower sample rates the
ADC will have significantly lower average current draw.
If the ADC is sampled at 1 sample per second the average current drawn by the ADC during a 1 second interval
would only be 26.4µA. When taking into consideration the
current drawn by the reference, the total current draw is
