The LT1461DHS8-5#TR from Linear Technology is a high-precision, low-power series voltage reference that provides a fixed 5V output. Designed for stability and reliability, this voltage reference is an ideal component for precision data conversion systems and high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The LT1461 series features an impressive low dropout voltage and low temperature coefficient, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of operating conditions.

Key Features:

• Output Voltage: 5V with high accuracy
• Temperature Coefficient: Low, typically 10ppm/°C, which ensures stable output over temperature variations.
• Dropout Voltage: Very low, enabling operation with minimal input-to-output differential.
• Supply Current: Low, typically 50µA, which makes it suitable for battery-powered applications.
• Load Regulation: Excellent, making it reliable under varying load conditions.
• Line Regulation: Superior, ensuring consistent output despite changes in input voltage.
• Long-Term Stability: Outstanding, with typically less than 50ppm/1000 hours at 125°C.
• Package: Supplied in an 8-lead small outline package (SOP), specifically the DHS8 variant.

The LT1461DHS8-5#TR is also notable for its robustness, featuring short-circuit protection and reverse battery protection, which safeguard the device and the application circuitry. Its no-load stability eliminates the need for an external capacitor, while the ability to drive capacitive loads up to 10,000µF offers great flexibility in design.

Applications for the LT1461DHS8-5#TR are diverse and include precision instrumentation, data acquisition systems, medical equipment, and automotive electronics, where accurate voltage references are critical for performance. This device is available in tape and reel form for automated assembly processes, indicated by the '#TR' suffix in the part number.

Linear Technology ensures that the LT1461DHS8-5#TR meets rigorous quality standards, making it a reliable choice for designers seeking a stable voltage reference in their high-performance applications.
