LT1460GCZ-5#TRPBF

Voltage Reference Overview

The LT1460GCZ-5#TRPBF is a micropower precision series voltage reference manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It provides a fixed output voltage of 5V with a maximum initial accuracy tolerance of ±0.25%. The device utilizes curvature compensation and trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve a maximum temperature coefficient of 25ppm/°C over the commercial operating range of 0°C to 70°C. It operates within an input voltage range of 3.4V to 20V, requiring a minimum input-output differential of 0.9V. The component draws a maximum supply current of 225µA and can source up to 20mA of load current.

Voltage Reference Feature Summary

Voltage Reference Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #TRPBF indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing this part number. Confirm that the GCZ designation corresponds to the TO-92 package variant rather than surface mount options. Ensure the order matches the required commercial temperature grade and 5V output specification before finalizing procurement.

Voltage Reference Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 5V reference is needed in a through-hole TO-92 package. It is suitable for applications prioritizing low power consumption alongside moderate precision requirements. Consider alternative packages like MSOP or SOIC if board space constraints require surface mount technology instead of the larger plastic TO-92 form factor.

Voltage Reference Part Context

This part belongs to the LT1460 family of micropower precision series references. The family offers various output voltages including 2.5V, 5V, and 10V across multiple package types such as DIP, SO, MSOP, SOT-23, and TO-92. The LT1460 series is designed to replace shunt references by eliminating the need for current-setting resistors, thereby reducing power dissipation in battery-operated systems.
