LT1460GCZ-10#PBF

Voltage Reference Overview

The LT1460GCZ-10#PBF is a micropower precision series voltage reference manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It provides a nominal output voltage of 10V with an initial accuracy of ±0.25%. The device features a maximum temperature coefficient of 25ppm/°C and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Packaged in a 3-lead TO-92 plastic housing, it utilizes curvature compensation and trimmed thin-film resistors for high stability. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum supply current of 360µA at the 10V output option, a minimum input-output differential of 0.9V, and reverse battery protection.

Voltage Reference Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GCZ corresponds to the TO-92 package and commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C) required for your design. Confirm that the ±0.25% accuracy and 25ppm/°C temperature coefficient meet system specifications. Ensure the 3-lead physical footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Check for availability status as distribution may vary.

Voltage Reference Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 10V reference is needed in a compact through-hole package. The TO-92 form factor suits applications where board space is limited but surface mount is not preferred. Consider the 360µA supply current for power budget calculations. Verify that the 0.9V dropout voltage accommodates the available input supply headroom under all operating conditions.
