Key Features
- Ultralow 1.5 ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient ensures 3.0 V reference stability of ±0.225 mV across the full -40°C to 125°C range
- Buffered 50 mA output current capability drives multiple ADC or DAC reference inputs directly without voltage droop
- Low output noise below 4 µVRMS from 10 Hz to 10 kHz for high-resolution 16-bit to 24-bit converter applications
- High initial accuracy of ±0.1% (±3 mV) at 3.0 V output, minimizing factory calibration time
- Wide input supply range of 3.2 V to 13.2 V compatible with 3.3 V logic and 5 V to 12 V analog power rails
Applications
The LT6657AHMS8-3 serves as a precision 3.0 V reference in high-resolution data acquisition systems where the 1.5 ppm/°C drift specification keeps total reference error below 0.5 LSB on a 16-bit ADC across the full industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Precision weigh-scale bridges, strain-gauge signal conditioners, and industrial pressure transmitters use its 50 mA buffered output to simultaneously supply several ADC reference and excitation inputs without dedicated buffer amplifiers. Its ultralow noise also suits audio DAC reference rails and laboratory-grade calibration standards where reference noise directly limits achievable signal-to-noise ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 1.5 ppm/°C drift of the LT6657AHMS8-3 affect accuracy in a 16-bit ADC over temperature?
With a 1.5 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, the LT6657AHMS8-3 drifts at most 4.5 µV per degree Celsius on its 3.0 V output. For a 16-bit ADC, one LSB equals 46 µV, so across a 50°C operating window the reference contributes roughly 4.9 LSB of drift—comparable to a high-quality internal ADC reference and well within the ±8 LSB budget of most industrial measurement designs.
What input supply voltage is required, and can the LT6657AHMS8-3 run directly from a 3.3 V rail?
The LT6657AHMS8-3 requires a minimum input supply of 3.2 V, which is just below a standard 3.3 V rail. This 200 mV headroom allows direct operation from a 3.3 V power bus in FPGA- and microcontroller-based systems, eliminating the need for a step-up converter to generate the 3.0 V reference output in modern low-voltage designs.
How does the LT6657AHMS8-3 compare to the LT6657BHMS8-2.5 when choosing a reference for a precision strain-gauge system?
The LT6657AHMS8-3 provides a 3.0 V output with 1.5 ppm/°C drift, while the LT6657BHMS8-2.5 provides 2.5 V with 3 ppm/°C. For a strain-gauge bridge requiring 3.0 V excitation, the AHMS8-3 delivers both the correct voltage and 2x lower drift, reducing temperature-induced offset by half compared to using the 2.5 V version with a gain stage that amplifies its drift error.
How many ADC reference inputs can the LT6657AHMS8-3 drive simultaneously with its buffered output?
The LT6657AHMS8-3 can source up to 50 mA from its buffered output, supporting 5 to 10 ADC channels that each draw 5 mA to 10 mA on their reference pins. This parallel drive capability is especially useful in multi-channel data acquisition modules where a single precision reference must serve all channels without degrading the 3.0 V accuracy due to load-induced voltage drop.
