The LT ®1461 is a family of low dropout micropower bandgap references that combine very high accuracy and low drift with low supply current and high output drive. These series references use advanced curvature compensation techniques to obtain low temperature coefficient and trimmed precision thin-film resistors to achieve high output accuracy. The LT1461 family draws only 35µA of supply current, making them ideal for low power and portable applications, however their high 50mA output drive makes them suitable for higher power requirements, such as precision regulators. In low power applications, a dropout voltage of less than 300mV ensures maximum battery life while maintaining full reference performance. Line regulation is nearly immeasurable, while the exceedingly good load and thermal regulation will not add significantly to system error budgets. The shutdown feature can be used to switch full load currents and can be used for system power down. Thermal shutdown protects the part from overload conditions. The LT1461 is available in 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V 4.096V and 5V options.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of a device may be impaired. Note 2: The LT1461 is guaranteed functional over the operating temperature range of – 40°C to 125°C. Note 3: If the part is stored outside of the specified temperature range, or the junction temperature exceeds the specified temperature range, the output may shift due to hysteresis. Note 4: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive device. Extensive use of ESD protection devices are used internal to the LT1461, however, high electrostatic discharge can damage or degrade the device. Use proper ESD handling precautions. Note 5: Temperature coefficient is calculated from the minimum and maximum output voltage measured at TMIN, Room and TMAX as follows: TC = (VOMAX – VOMIN)/(TMAX – TMIN)
Incremental slope is also measured at 25°C. Note 6: 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 7: Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a single pole highpass filter at 0.1Hz and a 2-pole lowpass filter at 10Hz. The unit is enclosed in a stillair environment to eliminate thermocouple effects on the leads. The test time is 10 seconds. RMS noise is measured with a single pole 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 bandpass of the filters.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 8: Long-term drift 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. Long-term drift will also be affected by differential stresses between the IC and the board material created during board assembly. See the Applications Information section. Note 9: Hysteresis in output voltage is created by package stress that depends 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 hot or cold before successive measurements. Hysteresis is roughly proportional to the square of the temperature change. Hysteresis is not normally a problem for operational temperature excursions where the instrument might be stored at high or low temperature. See Applications Information section.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Examples shown in this Applications section use the LT1461-2.5. The response of other voltage options can be estimated by proper scaling. Bypass and Load Capacitors The LT1461 family requires a capacitor on the input and on the output for stability. The capacitor on the input is a supply bypass capacitor and if the bypass capacitors from other components are close (within 2 inches) they

should be sufficient. The output capacitor acts as frequency compensation for the reference and cannot be omitted. For light loads ≤ 1mA, a 1µF nonpolar output capacitor is usually adequate, but for higher loads (up to 75mA), the output capacitor should be 2µF or greater. Figures 1 and 2 show the transient response to a 1mA load step with a 1µF output capacitor and a 50mA load step with a 2µF output capacitor.

Precision Regulator
The LT1461 will deliver 50mA with VIN = VOUT + 2.5V and higher load current with higher VIN. Load regulation is typically 12ppm/mA, which means for a 50mA load step, the output will change by only 1.5mV. Thermal regulation, caused by die temperature gradients and created from load current or input voltage changes, is not measurable. This often overlooked parameter must be added to normal line and load regulation errors. The load regulation photo, on the first page of this data sheet, shows the output response to 200mW of instantaneous power dissipation and the reference shows no sign of thermal errors. The reference has thermal shutdown and will turn off if the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. Shutdown The shutdown (Pin 3 low) serves to shut off load current when the LT1461 is used as a regulator. The LT1461 operates normally with Pin 3 open or greater than or equal to 2.4V. In shutdown, the reference draws a maximum supply current of 35µA. Figure 3 shows the transient response of shutdown while the part is delivering 25mA. After shutdown, the reference powers up in about 200µs.

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 card cage 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 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 5a. A qualitative technique to evaluate the effect of stress on voltage references is to solder the part into a PC board and deform the board a fixed amount as shown in Figure 4. 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 5a is for two LT1461S8-2.5s mounted vertically and Figure 5b is for two LT1461S8-2.5s mounted horizontally. The parts oriented in Figure 5a impart less stress into the package because stress is absorbed in the leads. Figures 5a and 5b show the deviation to be between 125µV and 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.

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 5a and 5b are shown in Figures 6a and 6b. In this example the slots can improve the output shift from about 100ppm to nearly zero.

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 erroneous technique uses the Arrhenius Equation to derive an acceleration factor from elevated temperature readings. The equation is:
EA 1 1 – = e K T 1 T 2
AF
where: EA = Activation Energy (Assume 0.7) K = Boltzmann’s Constant T2 = Test Condition in °Kelvin T1 = Use Condition Temperature in °Kelvin To show how absurd this technique is, compare the LT1461 data. Typical 1000 hour long-term drift at 30°C = 60ppm. The typical 1000 hour long-term drift at 130°C = 120ppm. From the Arrhenius Equation the acceleration factor is:
AF
1 0.7 1 – 0.0000863 303 403 =e
= 767
The erroneous projected long-term drift is: 120ppm/767 = 0.156ppm/1000 hr For a 2.5V reference, this corresponds to a 0.39µV shift after 1000 hours. This is pretty hard to determine (read impossible) if the peak-to-peak output noise is larger than this number. As a practical matter, one of the best laboratory references available is the Fluke 732A and its longterm drift is 1.5µV/mo. This performance is only available from the best subsurface zener references utilizing specialized heater techniques. The LT1461 long-term drift data was taken with parts that were soldered onto 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. As an additional accuracy check on the DVM, a Fluke 732A laboratory reference was also scanned. Figure 7 shows the long-term drift measurement system. The data taken is shown at the end of the Typical Performance Characteristics section of this data sheet. The long-term drift is the trend line that asymptotes to a value at 2000 hours. Note the slope in output shift between 0 hours and 1000 hours compared to the slope between 1000 hours and 2000 hours. Long-term drift is affected by differential stresses between the IC and the board material created during board assembly.

Hysteresis The hysteresis curves found in the Typical Performance Characteristics represent the worst-case data taken on 35 typical parts after multiple temperature cycles. As expected, the parts that are cycled over the wider – 40°C to 125°C temperature range have more hysteresis than those cycled over lower ranges. Note that the hysteresis coming from 125°C to 25°C has an influence on the – 40°C to 25°C hysteresis. The – 40°C to 25°C hysteresis is different depending on the part’s previous temperature. This is because not all of the high temperature stress is relieved during the 25°C measurement. The typical performance hysteresis curves are for parts mounted in a socket and represent the performance of the

parts alone. What is more interesting are parts IR soldered onto a PC board. If the PC board is then temperature cycled several times from – 40°C to 85°C, the resulting hysteresis curve is shown in Figure 8. This graph shows the influence of the PC board stress on the reference. When the LT1461 is soldered onto a PC board, the output shifts due to thermal hysteresis. Figure 9 shows the effect of soldering 40 pieces onto a PC board using standard IR reflow techniques. The average output voltage shift is –110ppm. Remeasurement of these parts after 12 days shows the outputs typically shift back 45ppm toward their initial value. This second shift is due to the relaxation of stress incurred during soldering.

The LT1461 is capable of dissipating high power, i.e., for the LT1461-2.5, 17.5V • 50mA = 875mW. The SO-8 package has a thermal resistance of 190°C/W and this dissipation causes a 166°C internal rise producing a junction temperature of TJ = 25°C + 166°C = 191°C. What will actually occur is the thermal shutdown will limit the junction temperature to around 150°C. This high temperature excursion will cause the output to shift due to thermal hysteresis. Under these conditions, a typical output shift is –135ppm, although this number can be higher. This high dissipation can cause the 25°C output accuracy to exceed its specified limit. For best accuracy and precision, the LT1461 junction temperature should not exceed 125°C.
