The LT®1460 is a micropower bandgap reference that
combines very high accuracy and low drift with low power
dissipation and small package size. This series reference
uses curvature compensation to obtain low temperature
coefficient and trimmed precision thin-film resistors to
achieve high output accuracy. The reference will supply
up to 20mA with excellent line regulation characteristics,
making it ideal for precision regulator applications.
This series reference provides supply current and power
dissipation advantages over shunt references that must idle
the entire load current to operate. Additionally, the LT1460
does not require an output compensation capacitor, yet
is stable with capacitive loads. This feature is important
where PC board space is a premium or fast settling is
demanded. In the event of a reverse battery connection,
these references will not conduct current, and are therefore
protected from damage.
The LT1460 is available in the 8-lead MSOP, SO, PDIP and
the 3-lead TO-92 and SOT23 packages.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: If the part is stored outside of the specified temperature range, the
output may shift due to hysteresis.
Note 3: Temperature coefficient is measured by dividing the change in
output voltage by the specified temperature range. Incremental slope is
also measured at 25°C.
Note 4: 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 5: Thermal regulation is caused by die temperature gradients created
by load current or input voltage changes. This effect must be added to
normal line or load regulation. This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 6: Excludes load regulation errors. For LT1460S3, ΔVOUT ≤ 0.2%. For
all other packages, ΔVOUT ≤ 0.1%.
Note 7: Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a single highpass filter at
0.1Hz and 2-pole lowpass filter at 10Hz. The unit is enclosed in a still-air
environment to eliminate thermocouple effects on the leads. The test time
is 10 sec. RMS noise is measured with a single 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 pass band of the filters.
Note 8: Long-term stability 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. Significant improvement in long-term drift can
be realized by preconditioning the IC with a 100 hour to 200 hour, 125°C
burn-in. Long-term stability will also be affected by differential stresses
between the IC and the board material created during board assembly. See
PC Board Layout in the Applications Information section.
Note 9: Hysteresis in output voltage is created by package stress that
differs depending 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 to 85°C or –40°C before successive measurements. Hysteresis
is roughly proportional to the square of the temperature change. For
instruments that are stored at reasonably well-controlled temperatures
(within 20 or 30 degrees of operating temperature) hysteresis is generally
not a problem.
Note 10: The LT1460S3 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40° to 85°C.

Performance Characteristics
Characteristic curves are similar for all voltage
options of the LT1460S3. Curves from the LT1460S3-2.5 and the LT1460S3-10 represent the extremes of the voltage options.
Characteristic curves for other output voltages fall between these curves, and can be estimated based on their voltage output.

Applications Information
Longer Battery Life
Series references have a large advantage over older shunt
style references. Shunt references require a resistor from
the power supply to operate. This resistor must be chosen
to supply the maximum current that can ever be demanded
by the circuit being regulated. When the circuit being
controlled is not operating at this maximum current, the
shunt reference must always sink this current, resulting
in high dissipation and short battery life.
the ringing can be reduced with a small resistor in series
with the reference output as shown in Figure 4. Figure 5
shows the response of the LT1460-2.5 with a RS = 2Ω and
1.5V
The LT1460 series reference does not require a current setting resistor and can operate with any supply voltage from
VOUT + 0.9V to 20V. When the circuitry being regulated does
not demand current, the LT1460 reduces its dissipation and
battery life is extended. If the reference is not delivering load
current it dissipates only a few mW, yet the same configuration can deliver 20mA of load current when demanded.

The LT1460 is designed to be stable with capacitive loads.
With no capacitive load, the reference is ideal for fast settling, applications where PC board space is a premium,
or where available capacitance is limited.
The test circuit for the LT1460-2.5 shown in Figure 1 is
used to measure the response time for various load currents and load capacitors. The 1V step from 2.5V to 1.5V
produces a current step of 1mA or 100µA for RL = 1k or
RL = 10k. Figure 2 shows the response of the reference
with no load capacitance.
The reference settles to 2.5mV (0.1%) in less than 1µs
for a 100µA pulse and to 0.1% in 1.5µs with a 1mA step.
When load capacitance is greater than 0.01µF, the reference begins to ring due to the pole formed with the output
impedance. Figure 3 shows the response of the reference
to a 1mA and 100µA load current step with a 0.01µF load
capacitor. The ringing can be greatly reduced with a DC
load as small as 200µA. With large output capacitors, ≥1µF,

LT1460
Applications Information
The LT1460S3 family of references are designed to be
stable with a large range of capacitive loads. With no
capacitive load, these references are ideal for fast settling
or applications where PC board space is a premium. The
test circuit shown in Figure 12 is used to measure the
response time and stability of various load currents and
load capacitors. This circuit is set for the 2.5V option. For
other voltage options, the input voltage must be scaled
up and the output voltage generator offset voltage must
be adjusted. The 1V step from 2.5V to 1.5V produces a
current step of 10mA or 1mA for RL = 100Ω or RL = 1k.

1mA and 10mA load steps with no load capacitance, and
Figure 14 shows a 1mA and 10mA load step with a 0.1µF
output capacitor. Figure 15 shows the response to a 1mA
load step with CL = 1µF and 4.7µF.
The frequency compensation of the LT1460S3 version is
slightly different than that of the other packages. Additional
care must be taken when choosing load capacitance in an
application circuit.
Table 1 gives the maximum output capacitance for various load currents and output voltages of the LT1460S3 to
avoid instability. Load capacitors with low ESR (effective
series resistance) cause more ringing than capacitors
with higher ESR such as polarized aluminum or tantalum
capacitors.

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 LT1460S3 long-term
drift data was taken on over 100 parts that were soldered
into 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 scanned regularly and
measured with an 8.5 digit DVM. Figure 16 shows typical
long-term drift of the LT1460S3s.
Hysteresis data shown in Figure 17 and Figure 18 represents
the worst-case data taken on parts from 0°C to 70°C and
from –40°C to 85°C. The device is capable of dissipating
relatively high power, i.e., for the LT1460S3-2.5, PD = 17.5V
• 20mA = 350mW. The thermal resistance of the SOT-23
package is 325°C/W and this dissipation causes a 114°C
internal rise producing a junction temperature of TJ = 25°C
+ 114°C = 139°C. This elevated temperature will cause
the output to shift due to thermal hysteresis. For highest
performance in precision applications, do not let the
LT1460S3’s junction temperature exceed 85°C.

Applications Information
Input Capacitance
Total worst-case output error is:
It is recommended that a 0.1µF or larger capacitor be
added to the input pin of the LT1460. This can help with
stability when large load currents are demanded.
0.075% + 0.035% + 0.070% = 0.180%.
Output Accuracy
Like all references, either series or shunt, the error budget of
the LT1460-2.5 is made up of primarily three components:
initial accuracy, temperature coefficient and load regulation.
Line regulation is neglected because it typically contributes only 30ppm/V, or 75µV for a 1V input change. The
LT1460-2.5 typically shifts less than 0.01% when soldered
into a PCB, so this is also neglected (see PC Board Layout
section). The output errors are calculated as follows for a
100µA load and 0°C to 70°C temperature range:
LT1460AC
Initial accuracy = 0.075%

Table 1 gives worst-case accuracy for the LT1460AC, CC,
DC, FC, GC from 0°C to 70°C and the LT1460BI, EI, GI
from –40°C to 85°C.
Note that the LT1460-5 and LT1460-10 give identical accuracy as a fraction of their respective output voltages.
PC Board Layout
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 cardcage
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 (MS8 and S8) are the
most susceptible to PC board stress because of the small
amount of plastic used to hold the lead frame.
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 20a.
A qualitative technique to evaluate the effect of stress on
voltage references is to solder the part into a PC board and
which is 0.07%.

deform the board a fixed amount as shown in Figure 19.
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 20a
is for two LT1460S8-2.5s mounted vertically and Figure
20b is for two LT1460S8-2.5s mounted horizontally. The
parts oriented in Figure 20a impart less stress into the
package because stress is absorbed in the leads. Figures
20a and 20b show the deviation to be between 125µV and

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 20a and
20b are shown in Figures 21a and 21b. In this example
the slots can improve the output shift from about 100ppm
to nearly zero.

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.
