2.5V shunt reference with 20 µA cathode current
The LT1004IPWR-2-5 is a 2.5V fixed-output shunt voltage reference from Texas Instruments' LT1004-2.5 series, designed for micropower bias and precision clamp applications where the load current is drawn through the reference itself.
Tolerance, drift, and noise — the accuracy budget
Initial tolerance is ±0.8% at 25°C, which for a 2.5V reference translates to a ±20 mV window — this sets the worst-case voltage the downstream ADC or comparator sees before any temperature or aging effects.
