Tiny Micropower
Precision Series References
in 2mm × 2mm DFN
The LT
®
6660 is a family of micropower series references
that combine high accuracy and low drift with low power
dissipation and extremely small package size. These se-
ries references use curvature compensation to obtain
low temperature coefficient, and laser trimmed precision
thin-film resistors to achieve high output accuracy. The
LT6660 will supply up to 20mA with excellent line regula-
tion characteristics, making it ideal for precision regulator
applications.
The LT6660 family of series references provide supply
current and power dissipation advantages over shunt
references that must idle the entire load current to oper-
ate. Additionally, the LT6660 does not require an output
compensation capacitor. This feature is important in
applications where PC board space is a premium, fast set-
tling is demanded, or total capacitance must be kept to a
minimum, as in intrinsic safety applications. Reverse-bat-
tery protection keeps these references from conducting
reverse current.

Characteristic curves are similar for all voltage
options of the LT6660. Curves from the LT6660-2.5 and the LT6660-10 represent the extremes of the voltage options. Characteristic
curves for other output voltages fall between these curves, and can be estimated based on their voltage output.

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 LT6660 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3: If the parts are stored outside of the specified temperature range,
the output may shift due to hysteresis.
Note 4: Temperature coefficient is measured by dividing the change in
output voltage by the specified temperature range. Incremental slope is
also measured at 25°C.
Note 5: Load regulation is measured on a pulse basis from no load to the
specified load current. Output changes due to die temperature change
must be taken into account separately.
Note 6: Thermal regulation is caused by die temperature gradients created
by load current or input voltage changes. This effect must be added to
normal line or load regulation. This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 7: Excludes load regulation errors.
Note 8: Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a single pole highpass filter
at 0.1Hz and 2-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 sec. RMS noise is measured with a single pole highpass filter at
10Hz and a 2-pole lowpass filter at 1kHz. The resulting output is full wave
rectified and then integrated for a fixed period, making the final reading an
average as opposed to RMS. A correction factor of 1.1 is used to convert
from average to RMS and a second correction of 0.88 is used to correct
for the nonideal bandpass of the filters.
Note 9: 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 10: Hysteresis in 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 70°C or 0°C before successive measurements. Hysteresis
is roughly proportional to the square of the temperature change. For
instruments that are stored at well-controlled temperatures (within 20 or
30 degrees of operational temperature) hysteresis is not a problem.

Longer Battery Life
Series references have a large advantage over older shunt
style references. Shunt references require a resistor
from the power supply to operate. This resistor must be
chosen to supply the maximum current that can ever be
demanded by the circuit being regulated. When the circuit
being controlled is not operating at this maximum current,
the shunt reference must always sink this current, resulting
in high dissipation and short battery life.
The LT6660 series references do not require a current
setting resistor and can operate with any supply voltage
from VOUT + 0.9V to 20V. When the circuitry being regu-
lated does not demand current, the LT6660s reduce their
dissipation and battery life is extended. If the references
are not delivering load current, they dissipate only several
mW, yet the same connection can deliver 20mA of load
current when demanded.
Capacitive Loads
The LT6660 family of references are designed to be stable
with a large range of capacitive loads. With no capacitive
load, these references are ideal for fast settling or applica-
tions where PC board space is a premium. The test circuit
shown in Figure 1 is used to measure the response time
and stability of various load currents and load capacitors.
This circuit is set for the 2.5V option. For other voltage
options, the input voltage must be scaled up and the
output voltage generator offset voltage must be adjusted.
The 1V step from 2.5V to 1.5V produces a current step of
10mA or 1mA for RL = 100Ω or RL = 1k. Figure 2 shows
the response of the reference to these 1mA and 10mA
load steps with no load capacitance, and Figure 3 shows
a 1mA and 10mA load step with a 0.1µF output capaci-
tor. Figure 4 shows the response to a 1mA load step with
CL = 1µF and 4.7µF.

Table 1 gives the maximum output capacitance for vari-
ous load currents and output voltages to avoid instability.
Load capacitors with low ESR (effective series resistance)
cause more ringing than capacitors with higher ESR such
as polarized aluminum or tantalum capacitors.

Long-Term Drift
Long-term drift cannot be extrapolated from accelerated
high temperature testing. This erroneous technique
gives drift numbers that are wildly optimistic. The only
way long-term drift can be determined is to measure it
over the time interval of interest. The LT6660 long-term
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 TA = 30°C, their outputs were scanned regularly and
measured with an 8.5 digit DVM. Figure 5 shows typical
long-term drift of the LT6660s.
Hysteresis
Hysteresis data shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 represents
the worst-case data taken on parts from 0°C to 70°C and
from –40°C to 85°C. The output is capable of dissipat-
ing relatively high power, i.e., for the LT6660-2.5, PD =
17.5V • 20mA = 350mW. The thermal resistance of the
DFN package is 102°C/W and this dissipation causes a
36°C internal rise. This elevated temperature may cause
the output to shift due to thermal hysteresis. For highest
performance in precision applications, do not let the
LT6660’s junction temperature exceed 85°C.
Input Capacitance
It is recommended that a 0.1µF or larger capacitor be
added to the input pin of the LT6660. This can help with
stability when large load currents are demanded.

Output Accuracy
Like all references, either series or shunt, the error budget
of the LT6660s is made up of primarily three components:
initial accuracy, temperature coefficient and load regulation.
Line regulation is neglected because it typically contributes
only 150ppm/V. The LT6660s typically shift 0.02% when
soldered into a PCB, so this is also neglected. The output
errors are calculated as follows for a 100µA load and 0°C
to 70°C temperature range:
LT6660HCDC
Initial Accuracy = 0.2%
For IOUT = 100µA
ΔVOUT = (4000ppm/mA)(0.1mA) = 0.04%
For Temperature 0°C to 70°C the maximum ΔT = 70°C
ΔVOUT = (20ppm/°C)(70°C) = 0.14%
Total worst-case output error is:
0.2% + 0.04% + 0.14% = 0.380%
Table 2 gives the worst-case accuracy for LT6660HC,
LT6660JC and LT6660KC from 0°C to 70°C, and shows
that if the LT6660HC is used as a reference instead of a
regulator, it is capable of 8 bits of absolute accuracy over
temperature without a system calibration.
