LT1460DCN8-2.5#PBF

Voltage Reference Overview

The LT1460DCN8-2.5#PBF is a micropower precision series voltage reference manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP package. It provides a nominal output voltage of 2.5V with an initial accuracy of ±0.1%. The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and features a maximum temperature coefficient of 20ppm/°C. Electrical specifications include a maximum supply current of 165µA, a minimum output sourcing current of 20mA, and a maximum input voltage of 30V.

Voltage Reference Feature Summary

• Utilizes curvature compensation and trimmed thin-film resistors for high accuracy and low drift
• Operates without requiring an external output compensation capacitor while maintaining stability with capacitive loads
• Provides reverse battery protection by preventing current conduction during reverse connections

Voltage Reference Applications

• Precision regulators
• A/D and D/A converters
• Handheld instruments
