Product details

2.49V shunt reference — the BOM-fit angle

The ±4% tolerance means the actual output can sit anywhere from about 2.39V to 2.59V; that's a cost-optimised bin, not a precision grade. If your ADC needs better than 40 mV accuracy, you'll want a tighter-tolerance sibling or a trim network. The TO-92-3 through-hole package is the classic three-lead transistor outline — easy to hand-assemble, breadboard, or retrofit into existing PTH boards.

Cathode current and output compliance

As a shunt reference, the LM336LPE3-2-5 sinks current through the cathode to ground. The cathode current floor is 400 µA — below that the reference may not regulate. Maximum output current is 10 mA, which covers biasing a handful of op-amp inputs or a low-power ADC reference input.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between LM336LPE3-2-5 and LM336Z-2.5?

Both are 2.5V-class shunt references from the LM336 family. The LM336Z-2.5 typically ships in a TO-92 package as well, but the suffix differences (LPE3 vs Z) may reflect tolerance bin, packaging quantity, or date-code variations. Check the specific datasheet for the exact tolerance and temperature range of the LM336Z-2.5 variant.

Is LM336LPE3-2-5 RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not specify RoHS compliance status. Verify with the manufacturer's documentation or your distributor at quote time.
