The LT1460HCS3-2.5#TRPBF is a high-performance voltage reference module from Linear Technology, designed to offer both precision and reliability for a wide array of electronic applications. This component is a micropower, low dropout reference that provides a fixed 2.5V output from an input voltage range of 4V to 20V with a typical supply current of only 12µA. This makes it an excellent choice for battery-powered devices where power efficiency is crucial.

Encased in a compact SOT-23 package, the LT1460HCS3-2.5#TRPBF boasts a low temperature coefficient of 10ppm/°C, ensuring stable performance across a wide temperature range. This stability, combined with a low output noise of only 20µV RMS, makes it ideal for high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and portable instrumentation where precision is key.

The LT1460HCS3-2.5#TRPBF also features a very low dropout voltage, typically 100mV at full load, which allows it to operate effectively even when the input voltage is very close to the output voltage. This low dropout characteristic, along with the low supply current, extends battery life and improves efficiency in portable applications.

The device is also characterized for performance over the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. In addition, it is available in tape and reel packaging, denoted by the suffix #TRPBF, which facilitates automated manufacturing processes.

Linear Technology's LT1460HCS3-2.5#TRPBF is designed for applications requiring a high-precision voltage reference that consumes minimal power. It is well-suited for medical devices, precision instrumentation, and any application where energy efficiency and accuracy are paramount. With its robust design and stable output, the LT1460 series represents a solid choice for designers looking to balance performance with power conservation.
