DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1460-10 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 a low temperature
coefficient and trimmed precision thin-film resistors to
achieve high output accuracy. The reference will supply up to
20mA, making it ideal for precision regulator applications, yet
it is almost totally immune to input voltage variations.
This series reference provides supply current and power
dissipation advantages over shunt references that must idle
the entire load current to operate. Additionally, the LT1460-10
does not require an output capacitor, but it is stable with
capacitive loads. This feature is important in critical applica-
tions where PC board space is a premium or fast settling is
demanded. Reverse battery protection keeps the reference
from conducting current and being damaged.
The LT1460-10 is available in the 8-lead MSOP, SO, PDIP
and the 3-lead TO-92 packages. It is also available in the
SOT-23 package; see separate data sheet LT1460S3-10
(SOT-23).

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the specified temperature
range.
Note 1:
If the part is stored outside of the specified temperature range, the
output may shift due to hysteresis.
Note 2:
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive device. Extensive use of
ESD protection devices are used internal to the LT1460-10, however, high
electrostatic discharge can damage or degrade the device. Use proper ESD
handling precautions.
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.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 6:
Excludes load regulation errors.
Note 7:
Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a single highpass filter at
0.1Hz and a 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 bandpass 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. Hysteresis
is not normally a problem for operational temperature excursions where
the instrument might be stored at high or low temperature.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Precision Regulator
The LT1460-10 is ideal as a precision regulator, and since
it operates in series mode it does not require a current
setting resistor. The reference can supply up to 20mA of
load current with good transient response. Load regula-
tion at 20mA output is typically 70ppm/mA meaning the
output changes only 14mV.
Capacitive Loads
The LT1460-10 is designed to be stable with capacitive
loads. With no capacitive load, the reference is ideal for
fast settling or applications where PC board space is a
premium. The test circuit shown in Figure 1 is used to
measure the response time for various load currents and
load capacitors. The 1V step from 10V to 9V produces a
