LT1236ACS8-10#PBF

Voltage Reference Overview

The LT1236ACS8-10#PBF is a precision shunt voltage reference manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., housed in an SOIC-8 surface-mount package. It provides a nominal output voltage of 10 V with an initial accuracy of ±0.05% and a temperature coefficient of 2 ppm/°C. The device operates within an input voltage range up to 40 V, drawing a typical supply current of 800 µA and supporting a maximum shunt current of 10 mA. It functions across a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Voltage Reference Feature Summary

• Utilizes a buried Zener diode structure for superior long-term stability and low noise compared to surface breakdown devices.
• Capable of both sourcing and sinking up to 10 mA of current while maintaining high precision.
• Designed to minimize thermal regulation effects and temperature-induced hysteresis without requiring high-power on-chip heaters.

Voltage Reference Applications

• High-precision data acquisition systems
• Calibration equipment requiring stable reference voltages
• Industrial process control instrumentation

Voltage Reference Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ACS8' corresponds to the SOIC-8 package and '10' indicates the 10V output variant when sourcing replacements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Ensure the component matches the required initial accuracy and temperature coefficient specifications for the target application.

Voltage Reference Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding ultra-low drift and high accuracy in a compact surface-mount form factor. Consider the 2 ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 0.05% initial accuracy for critical measurement circuits. Evaluate the 10 mA sink/source capability against load requirements. Compare against other series members like LT1236BIN8-10#PBF if through-hole packaging is preferred instead of SOIC-8.

Voltage Reference Part Context

This part belongs to the LT1236 series of precision voltage references from Analog Devices. The series is characterized by its use of buried Zener technology, offering performance levels comparable to higher-cost bandgap references but with better noise and drift characteristics. The LT1236 family includes various voltage options (5V and 10V) and package types (SOIC-8 and PDIP-8).

Voltage Reference Replacement Considerations

LT1236BIN8-10#PBF offers identical electrical specifications in a PDIP-8 through-hole package. LT1236ACS8-5#PBF provides the same package and features but with a 5V output. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal management requirements when substituting.
