DescripTion
The LT
®
6656 is a small precision voltage reference that
draws less than 1µA of supply current and can operate
with a supply voltage within 10mV of the output voltage.
The LT6656 offers an initial accuracy of 0.05% and tem-
perature drift of 10ppm/°C. The combined low power and
precision characteristics are ideal for portable and battery
powered instrumentation.
The LT6656 can supply up to 5mA of output drive with
65ppm/mA of load regulation, allowing it to be used as
the supply voltage and the reference input to a low power
ADC. The LT6656 can accept a supply voltage up to 18V
and withstand the reversal of the input connections.
The LT6656 output is stable with 1µF or larger output
capacitance and operates with a wide range of output
capacitor ESR.
This reference is fully specified for operation from –40°C
to 85°C, and is functional over the extreme temperature
range of –55°C to 125°C. Low hysteresis and a consistent
temperature drift are obtained through advanced design,
processing and packaging techniques.
The LT6656 is offered in the 6-lead SOT-23 package.

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:
If the parts are stored outside of the specified temperature range,
the output may shift due to hysteresis.
Note 3:
The stated temperature is typical for soldering of the leads during
manual rework. For detailed IR reflow recommendations, refer to the
Applications section.
Note 4:
Temperature coefficient is measured by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 5:
Load regulation is measured with a pulse from no load to the
specified load current. Output changes due to die temperature change
must be taken into account separately.
Note 6:
Excludes load regulation errors.
Note 7:
Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a 3-pole highpass filter at
0.1Hz and a 4-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 seconds. RMS noise is measured on a spectrum analyzer in a
shielded environment.
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. Long-term stability will also be affected by
differential stresses between the IC and the board material created during
board assembly.
Note 9:
Hysteresis in output voltage is created by mechanical 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 the hot or cold temperature limit before successive
measurements. For instruments that are stored at well controlled
temperatures (within 20 or 30 degrees of operational temperature)
hysteresis is usually not a dominant error source.
