DESCRIPTION
The LT®1790 is a family of SOT-23 micropower low dropout
series references that combine high accuracy and low drift
with low power dissipation and small package size. These
micropower references use curvature compensation to
obtain a low temperature coeffi cient and trimmed precision thin-fi lm resistors to achieve high output accuracy. In
addition, each LT1790 is post-package trimmed to greatly
reduce the temperature coeffi cient and increase the output
accuracy. Output accuracy is further assured by excellent
line and load regulation. Special care has been taken to
minimize thermally induced hysteresis.
The LT1790s are ideally suited for battery-operated systems because of their small size, low supply current and
reduced dropout voltage. These references provide supply current and power dissipation advantages over shunt
references that must idle the entire load current to operate.
Since the LT1790 can also sink current, it can operate as
a micropower negative voltage reference with the same
performance as a positive reference.

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: The LT1790 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. The LT1790-1.25 at 125°C is
typically less than 2% above the nominal voltage. The other voltage
options are typically less than 0.25% above their nominal voltage.
Note 3: If the part is stored outside of the specifi ed temperature range, the
output voltage may shift due to hysteresis.

Note 4: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive device. Extensive use of
ESD protection devices are used internal to the LT1790, however, high
electrostatic discharge can damage or degrade the device. Use proper ESD
handling precautions.
Note 5: Temperature coeffi cient is measured by dividing the change in
output voltage by the specifi ed temperature range. Incremental slope is
also measured at 25°C.
Note 6: Load regulation is measured on a pulse basis from no load to the
specifi ed load current. Output changes due to die temperature change
must be taken into account separately.
Note 7: Excludes load regulation errors.

Note 8: Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a single pole highpass fi lter
at 0.1Hz and a 2-pole lowpass fi lter at 10Hz. The unit is enclosed in a still
air environment to eliminate thermocouple effects on the leads. The test
time is 10 seconds. Integrated RMS noise is measured from 10Hz to 1kHz
with the HP3561A analyzer.
Note 9: Long-term drift typically has a logarithmic characteristic and
therefore changes after 1000 hours tend to be smaller than before that
time. Long-term drift is affected by differential stress between the IC and
Note 10: Hysteresis in the 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 a successive measurements. Hysteresis
is roughly proportional to the square of the temperature change.
Hysteresis is not a problem for operational temperature excursions where
the instrument might be stored at high or low temperature. See the
Applications Information section.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LT1790
Bypass and Load Capacitors
The LT1790 voltage references should have an input bypass
capacitor of 0.1μF or larger, however the bypassing of other
local devices may serve as the required component. These
references also require an output capacitor for stability.
The optimum output capacitance for most applications
is 1μF, although larger values work as well. This capacitor affects the turn-on and settling time for the output to
reach its fi nal value.
All LT1790 voltages perform virtually the same, so the
LT1790-2.5 is used as an example.

same capacitors.
The test circuit of Figure 3 is used to measure the stability
of various load currents. With R
= 1k, the 1V step produces

a current step of 1mA. Figure 4 shows the response to a
± 0.5mA load. Figure 5 is the output response to a sourcing

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Positive or Negative Operation
Series operation is ideal for extending battery life. If an
LT1790 is operated in series mode it does not require an
external current setting resistor. The specifi cations guarantee that the LT1790 family operates to 18V. When the
circuitry being regulated does not demand current, the
series connected LT1790 consumes only a few hundred
μW, yet the same connection can sink or source 5mA of
load current when demanded. A typical series connection
is shown on the front page of this data sheet.
The circuit in Figure 7 shows the connection for a –2.5V
reference, although any LT1790 voltage option can be
confi gured this way to make a negative reference. The
LT1790 can be used as very stable negative references,
however, they require a positive voltage applied to Pin 4
to bias internal circuitry. This voltage must be current
limited with R1 to keep the output PNP transistor from
V
GEN
8V
turning on and driving the grounded output. C1 provides
stability during load transients. This connection maintains
nearly the same accuracy and temperature coeffi cient of
the positive connected LT1790.
Long-Term Drift
Long-term drift cannot be extrapolated from accelerated
high temperature testing. This erroneous technique gives
drift numbers that are widely optimistic. The only way
long-term drift can be determined is to measure it over
the time interval of interest. The LT1790S6 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 T
= 30°C,
A
their outputs scanned regularly and measured with an 8.5
digit DVM. Long-term drift curves are shown in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section.

Hysteresis
Hysteresis data shown in Figures 8 and 9 represent the
worst-case data taken on parts from 0°C to 70°C and from
– 40°C to 85°C. Units were cycled several times over these
temperature ranges and the largest change is shown. As
expected, the parts cycled over the higher temperature
range have higher hysteresis than those cycled over the
lower range.
In addition to thermal hysteresis, the thermal shock associated with high temperature soldering may cause the
output to shift. For traditional PbSn solder temperatures,
the output shift of the LT1790 is typically just 150ppm
(0.015%).

For lead-free solder, IR reflow temperatures are much
higher, often 240°C to 260°C at the peak. As a result, the
packaging materials have been optimized to reduce V
OUT
shift as possible during high temperature reflow. In addition, care should be taken when using lead-free solder to
minimize the peak temperature and dwell time as much
as is practical. A typical lead-free reflow profile is shown
in Figure 10. LT1790 units were heated using a similar
profile, with a peak temperature of 250°C. These parts
were run through the heating process 3 times to show the
cumulative effect of these heat cycles. Figure 11 shows

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
the shift after 1 cycle, while Figure 12 shows shift after
3 cycles. In the worst case, shifts are typically 150ppm,
but may be as high as 290ppm. Shifts in output voltage
are proportional to temperature and dwell time.
In general, the output shift can be reduced or fully recovered by a long (12-24 hour) bake of the completed PC
Board assembly at high temperature (100°C to 150C°)
after soldering to remove mechanical stress that has been
induced by thermal shock. Once the PC Boards have cooled
to room temperature, they may continue to shift for up to
3 times the bake time. This should be taken into account
before any calibration is performed.

Assuming 80μA max supply current for the LT1790, a
25μA load, 120mV max dropout and a 4V to 30V input
specifi cation, the largest that R1 can be is (4V – 3.3V
– 120mV)/(80μA + 25μA) = 5.5k. Furthermore, assuming 220mW of dissipation in the 18V SOT-23 Zener, this
gives a max current of (220mW)/(18V) = 12.2mA. So the
smallest that R1 should be is (30V – 18V)/12.2mA = 1k,
rated at 150mW.
With R1 = 1k, and assuming a 450mV worst-case dropout, the LT1790 can deliver a minimum current of (4V
– 3.3V–450mV)/(1k) = 250μA. In Figure 13, R1 and C1
provide fi ltering of the Zener noise when the Zener is in
its noisy V-I knee.
There are other variations for higher voltage operation that
use a pass transistor shown in Figures 14 and 15. These
circuits allow the input voltage to be as high as 160V while
maintaining low supply current.

Higher Input Voltage
The circuit in Figure 13 shows an easy way to increase the
input voltage range of the LT1790. The Zener diode can be
anywhere from 6V to 18V. For equal power sharing between
R1 and the Zener (at 30V), the 18V option is better. The
circuit can tolerate much higher voltages for short periods
and is suitable for transient protection.

More Output Current
The circuit in Figure 16 is a compact, high output current,
low dropout precision supply. The circuit uses the SOT-23
LT1782 and the ThinSOT LT1790. Resistive divider R1 and
R2 set a voltage 22mV below V
. For under 1mA of output
S
current, the LT1790 supplies the load. Above 1mA of load
current, the (+) input of the LT1782 is pulled below the
22mV divider reference and the output FET turns on to
supply the load current. Capacitor C1 stops oscillations in
the transition region. The no load standing current is only
120μA, yet the output can deliver over 300mA.
Noise
An estimate of the total integrated noise from 10Hz to 1kHz
can be made by multiplying the fl at band spot noise by
√BW. For example, from the Typical Performance curves,
the LT1790-1.25 noise spectrum shows the average spot
noise to be about 450nV/√Hz. The square root of the
bandwidth is √990 = 31.4. The total noise 10Hz to 1kHz
noise is (450nV)(31.4) = 14.1μV. This agrees well with the
measured noise.
This estimate may not be as good with higher voltage
options, there are several reasons for this. Higher voltage
options have higher noise and they have higher variability
due to process variations. 10Hz to 1kHz noise may vary by
2dB on the LT1790-5 and 1dB on the LT1790-2.5.
Measured noise may also vary because of peaking in the
noise spectrum. This effect can be seen in the range of
1kHz to 10kHz with all voltage options sourcing different
load currents. From the Typical Performance curves the
10Hz to 1kHz noise spectrum of the LT1790-5 is shown
to be 3μV/√Hz at low frequency. The estimated noise is
(3μV)(31.4) = 93.4μV. The actual integrated 10Hz to 1kHz
noise measures 118.3μV. The peaking shown causes this
larger number. Peaking is a function of output capacitor
as well as load current and process variations.
