1258/LTC1258-2.5/LTC1258-3/LTC1258-4.1/
LTC1258-5 are micropower bandgap references that
combine high accuracy and low drift with very low supply
current and small package size. The combination of ultralow
quiescent current and low dropout voltage of only 200mV
max. makes them ideal for battery-powered equipment.
The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider for
the adjustable LTC1258.
This series of references uses curvature compensation to
obtain low temperature coefficient and trimmed thin-film
resistors to achieve high output accuracy. These refer-
ences can source up to 10mA and sink up to 2mA, making
them ideal for precision regulator applications. They are
stable without an output bypass capacitor, but are also
stable with capacitance up to 1µF. This feature is important
in critical applications where PC board space is a premium
and fast settling is demanded.
The LTC1258 series references provide power dissipation
advantages over shunt references. In addition to supply
current, shunt references must also idle the entire load
current to operate.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC1258 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 100°C.
Note 3:
If the part is stored outside of the specified operating 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 LTC1258, however, high
electrostatic discharge can damage or degrade the device. Use proper ESD
handling precautions.
Note 5:
Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a single pole highpass filter
at 0.1Hz and 2-pole lowpass filter at 10Hz.
Note 6:
Temperature coefficient is the change in output voltage divided by
the nominal output voltage divided by the specified temperature range.
Note 7:
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 8:
Dropout voltage is (V
IN
– V
OUT
) when V
OUT
falls to 0.1% below its
nominal value at V
IN
= V
OUT
+ 0.5V.
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 hot or cold before successive measurements. Hysteresis is not
normally a problem for operational temperature excursions where the
instrument might be stored at high or low temperature.
