Press Release Summary:
Suited as companion to high-resolution DACs/ADCs required by instrumentation and test equipment, LTC6655 has noise level of 625 nVp-p from 0.1-10 Hz. Its -40 to +125°C operating range supports automotive and industrial applications, and curvature compensation reduces or eliminates need for system calibration. Load regulation of 3 ppm/mA and ±5 mA source/sink capabilities, coupled with 5 ppm/V line rejection, result in consistent performance across various line and load conditions.
Original Press Release:
Industry's Lowest Noise 2.5V Voltage Reference Features 2ppm/°C Max Drift
MILPITAS, CA - September 21, 2009 - Linear Technology announces the LTC6655, an ultra-stable voltage reference with an unequaled noise level of only 625nVp-p (0.25ppmp-p) from 0.1Hz to 10Hz.
The LTC6655 is an ideal companion to high resolution DACs and ADCs required by instrumentation and test equipment, while the fully specified temperature range of -40°C to 125°C supports automotive and industrial applications. Advanced curvature compensation allows this bandgap reference to achieve a drift of less than 2ppm/°C and an output voltage accurate to ±0.025%, reducing or eliminating the need for system calibration.
The LTC6655 low dropout series references can be powered from as little as 500mV above the output voltage, up to a maximum supply voltage of 13.2V. Superior load regulation of 3ppm/mA and ±5mA source and sink capabilities coupled with only 5ppm/V line rejection give consistent performance over a wide range of line and load conditions. A shutdown mode is provided for low power applications.
"The noise characteristics and precision of the LTC6655 are truly groundbreaking," says Brendan Whelan, Design Manager for Linear Technology. "This reference offers the best performance available for next generation instruments."
The LTC6655 is currently in production with a 2.5V output version. Additional voltage options will be available soon. Available in an MSOP-8 package, prices start at $3.60 each in 1,000-piece quantities. For more information, visit www.linear.com.
