The LT ®1461 is a family of low dropout micropower bandgap
references that combine very high accuracy and low drift with
low supply current and high output drive. These series
references use advanced curvature compensation techniques
to obtain low temperature coefficient and trimmed precision
thin-film resistors to achieve high output accuracy. The
LT1461 family draws only 35µA of supply current, making
them ideal for low power and portable applications, however
their high 50mA output drive makes them suitable for higher
power requirements, such as precision regulators.
In low power applications, a dropout voltage of less than
300mV ensures maximum battery life while maintaining full
reference performance. Line regulation is nearly immeasurable, while the exceedingly good load and thermal regulation
will not add significantly to system error budgets. The
shutdown feature can be used to switch full load currents and
can be used for system power down. Thermal shutdown
protects the part from overload conditions. The LT1461 is
available in 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V 4.096V and 5V options.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LT1461 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of – 40°C to 125°C.
Note 3: If the part is stored outside of the specified temperature range, or
the junction temperature exceeds the specified temperature range, the
output may shift due to hysteresis.
Note 4: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive device. Extensive use of
ESD protection devices are used internal to the LT1461, however, high
electrostatic discharge can damage or degrade the device. Use proper ESD
handling precautions.
Note 5: Temperature coefficient is calculated from the minimum and
maximum output voltage measured at TMIN, Room and TMAX as follows:
TC = (VOMAX – VOMIN)/(TMAX – TMIN)
Incremental slope is also measured at 25°C.
Note 6: Load regulation is measured on a pulse basis from no load to the
specified load current. Output changes due to die temperature change
must be taken into account separately.
Note 7: Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a single pole highpass filter
at 0.1Hz and a 2-pole lowpass filter at 10Hz. The unit is enclosed in a stillair environment to eliminate thermocouple effects on the leads. The test
time is 10 seconds. RMS noise is measured with a single pole highpass
filter at 10Hz and a 2-pole lowpass filter at 1kHz. The resulting output is
full-wave rectified and then integrated for a fixed period, making the final
reading an average as opposed to RMS. A correction factor of 1.1 is used
to convert from average to RMS and a second correction of 0.88 is used to
correct for the nonideal bandpass of the filters.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 8: Long-term drift 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 drift will also be affected by differential
stresses between the IC and the board material created during board
assembly. See the Applications Information section.
Note 9: Hysteresis in output voltage is created by package stress that
depends 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 hot or cold before successive measurements. Hysteresis is roughly
proportional to the square of the temperature change. Hysteresis is not
normally a problem for operational temperature excursions where the
instrument might be stored at high or low temperature. See Applications
Information section.

Examples shown in this Applications section use the
LT1461-2.5. The response of other voltage options can
be estimated by proper scaling.
Bypass and Load Capacitors
The LT1461 family requires a capacitor on the input and
on the output for stability. The capacitor on the input is a
supply bypass capacitor and if the bypass capacitors
from other components are close (within 2 inches) they
should be sufficient. The output capacitor acts as frequency compensation for the reference and cannot be
omitted. For light loads ≤ 1mA, a 1µF nonpolar output
capacitor is usually adequate, but for higher loads (up to
75mA), the output capacitor should be 2µF or greater.
Figures 1 and 2 show the transient response to a 1mA
load step with a 1µF output capacitor and a 50mA load
step with a 2µF output capacitor.

Precision Regulator
PC Board Layout
The LT1461 will deliver 50mA with VIN = VOUT + 2.5V and
higher load current with higher VIN. Load regulation is
typically 12ppm/mA, which means for a 50mA load step,
the output will change by only 1.5mV. Thermal regulation,
caused by die temperature gradients and created from
load current or input voltage changes, is not measurable.
This often overlooked parameter must be added to normal
line and load regulation errors. The load regulation photo,
on the first page of this data sheet, shows the output
response to 200mW of instantaneous power dissipation
and the reference shows no sign of thermal errors. The
reference has thermal shutdown and will turn off if the
junction temperature exceeds 150°C.
In 13- to 16-bit systems where initial accuracy and temperature coefficient calibrations have been done, the mechanical and thermal stress on a PC board (in a card cage
for instance) can shift the output voltage and mask the true
temperature coefficient of a reference. In addition, the
mechanical stress of being soldered into a PC board can
cause the output voltage to shift from its ideal value.
Surface mount voltage references are the most susceptible to PC board stress because of the small amount of
plastic used to hold the lead frame.
Shutdown
The shutdown (Pin 3 low) serves to shut off load current
when the LT1461 is used as a regulator. The LT1461
operates normally with Pin 3 open or greater than or equal
to 2.4V. In shutdown, the reference draws a maximum
supply current of 35µA. Figure 3 shows the transient
response of shutdown while the part is delivering 25mA.
After shutdown, the reference powers up in about 200µs.
5V
A simple way to improve the stress-related shifts is to
mount the reference near the short edge of the PC board,
or in a corner. The board edge acts as a stress boundary,
or a region where the flexure of the board is minimum. The
package should always be mounted so that the leads
absorb the stress and not the package. The package is
generally aligned with the leads parallel to the long side of
the PC board as shown in Figure 5a.
A qualitative technique to evaluate the effect of stress on
voltage references is to solder the part into a PC board and
deform the board a fixed amount as shown in Figure 4. The
flexure #1 represents no displacement, flexure #2 is
concave movement, flexure #3 is relaxation to no displacement and finally, flexure #4 is a convex movement.
This motion is repeated for a number of cycles and the

relative output deviation is noted. The result shown in
Figure 5a is for two LT1461S8-2.5s mounted vertically and
Figure 5b is for two LT1461S8-2.5s mounted horizontally.
The parts oriented in Figure 5a impart less stress into the
package because stress is absorbed in the leads. Figures
5a and 5b show the deviation to be between 125µV and
250µV and implies a 50ppm and 100ppm change respectively. This corresponds to a 13- to 14-bit system and is
not a problem for most 10- to 12-bit systems unless the
system has a calibration. In this case, as with temperature
hysteresis, this low level can be important and even more
careful techniques are required.
The most effective technique to improve PC board stress
is to cut slots in the board around the reference to serve as
a strain relief. These slots can be cut on three sides of the
reference and the leads can exit on the fourth side. This
“tongue” of PC board material can be oriented in the long
direction of the board to further reduce stress transferred
to the reference.
The results of slotting the PC boards of Figures 5a and
5b are shown in Figures 6a and 6b. In this example the
slots can improve the output shift from about 100ppm to
nearly zero.

Long-Term Drift
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 erroneous technique uses the Arrhenius Equation to derive an acceleration factor from elevated temperature readings. The
equation is:
AF
EA  1 1 
 – 
= e K  T 1 T 2
where: EA = Activation Energy (Assume 0.7)
K = Boltzmann’s Constant
T2 = Test Condition in °Kelvin
T1 = Use Condition Temperature in °Kelvin
To show how absurd this technique is, compare the
LT1461 data. Typical 1000 hour long-term drift at 30°C =
60ppm. The typical 1000 hour long-term drift at 130°C =
120ppm. From the Arrhenius Equation the acceleration
factor is:

=e
= 767
The erroneous projected long-term drift is:
120ppm/767 = 0.156ppm/1000 hr
For a 2.5V reference, this corresponds to a 0.39µV shift
after 1000 hours. This is pretty hard to determine (read
impossible) if the peak-to-peak output noise is larger than
this number. As a practical matter, one of the best laboratory references available is the Fluke 732A and its longterm drift is 1.5µV/mo. This performance is only available
from the best subsurface zener references utilizing specialized heater techniques.
The LT1461 long-term drift data was taken with parts that
were soldered onto PC boards similar to a “real world”
application. The boards were then placed into a constant
temperature oven with TA = 30°C, their outputs were
12
scanned regularly and measured with an 8.5 digit DVM. As
an additional accuracy check on the DVM, a Fluke 732A
laboratory reference was also scanned. Figure 7 shows the
long-term drift measurement system. The data taken is
shown at the end of the Typical Performance Characteristics section of this data sheet. The long-term drift is the
trend line that asymptotes to a value at 2000 hours. Note
the slope in output shift between 0 hours and 1000 hours
compared to the slope between 1000 hours and 2000
hours. Long-term drift is affected by differential stresses
between the IC and the board material created during
board assembly.

Hysteresis
The hysteresis curves found in the Typical Performance
Characteristics represent the worst-case data taken on 35
typical parts after multiple temperature cycles. As expected, the parts that are cycled over the wider – 40°C to
125°C temperature range have more hysteresis than those
cycled over lower ranges. Note that the hysteresis coming
from 125°C to 25°C has an influence on the – 40°C to 25°C
hysteresis. The – 40°C to 25°C hysteresis is different
depending on the part’s previous temperature. This is
because not all of the high temperature stress is relieved
during the 25°C measurement.

mounted in a socket and represent the performance of the

parts alone. What is more interesting are parts IR soldered
onto a PC board. If the PC board is then temperature cycled
several times from – 40°C to 85°C, the resulting hysteresis
curve is shown in Figure 8. This graph shows the influence
of the PC board stress on the reference.
When the LT1461 is soldered onto a PC board, the output
shifts due to thermal hysteresis. Figure 9 shows the effect
of soldering 40 pieces onto a PC board using standard IR
reflow techniques. The average output voltage shift is
–110ppm. Remeasurement of these parts after 12 days
shows the outputs typically shift back 45ppm toward their
initial value. This second shift is due to the relaxation of
stress incurred during soldering.
The LT1461 is capable of dissipating high power, i.e., for
the LT1461-2.5, 17.5V • 50mA = 875mW. The SO-8
package has a thermal resistance of 190°C/W and this
dissipation causes a 166°C internal rise producing a
junction temperature of TJ = 25°C + 166°C = 191°C. What
will actually occur is the thermal shutdown will limit the
junction temperature to around 150°C. This high temperature excursion will cause the output to shift due to thermal
hysteresis. Under these conditions, a typical output shift
is –135ppm, although this number can be higher. This
high dissipation can cause the 25°C output accuracy to
exceed its specified limit. For best accuracy and precision, the LT1461 junction temperature should not exceed 125°C.
