series introduction

# LT1236ACN8 - 10 Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The LT1236ACN8 - 10 is a remarkable product series that belongs to a specific category of electronic components, typically within the realm of precision voltage references. These components are designed to provide a stable and accurate voltage output, which is crucial for a wide range of applications in the electronics industry. The "LT" in the product name often indicates that it is from Linear Technology (now part of Analog Devices), a well - known and respected manufacturer in the field of high - performance analog integrated circuits.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 High Precision
One of the standout features of the LT1236ACN8 - 10 is its high precision. It offers a very accurate output voltage with a low initial tolerance. For example, the specified output voltage of 10V has a tight tolerance, which means that the actual output voltage will be very close to the nominal 10V value. This precision is essential in applications where even small voltage variations can lead to significant errors, such as in precision measurement equipment, data acquisition systems, and calibration instruments.

### 2.2 Low Temperature Coefficient
The product has a low temperature coefficient. Temperature changes can have a significant impact on the performance of electronic components, causing the output voltage to drift. The LT1236ACN8 - 10 is designed to minimize this effect. Its low temperature coefficient ensures that the output voltage remains stable over a wide temperature range. This makes it suitable for use in environments where the temperature can vary, such as industrial settings, automotive applications, and outdoor electronic systems.

### 2.3 Low Noise
Noise in a voltage reference can introduce errors in the circuits that rely on it. The LT1236ACN8 - 10 features low noise characteristics. It generates very little electrical noise, which is beneficial for applications that require a clean and stable voltage source. For instance, in audio equipment, a low - noise voltage reference can help improve the signal - to - noise ratio and enhance the overall audio quality.

### 2.4 High Output Impedance
It has a high output impedance, which allows it to drive loads without significant voltage drops. This means that it can supply power to various circuits without being affected by the load characteristics. Whether it is driving a small - scale integrated circuit or a more complex load, the LT1236ACN8 - 10 can maintain a stable output voltage.

## 3. Package and Pin Configuration
The LT1236ACN8 - 10 comes in an 8 - pin plastic dual - in - line package (DIP). This package type is widely used in the electronics industry due to its ease of handling and compatibility with standard printed circuit boards (PCBs). The pin configuration is carefully designed to provide easy access to the necessary functions.

- **Pin 1 and Pin 8**: These pins are typically used for power supply connections. They allow the component to receive the necessary electrical power to operate.
- **Pin 2 and Pin 7**: These pins may be used for external compensation or adjustment, depending on the specific application requirements. They provide flexibility in fine - tuning the performance of the voltage reference.
- **Pin 3**: This is the output pin, from which the stable 10V voltage is available for use in the external circuit.
- **Pin 4 and Pin 5**: These pins are often used for ground connections, ensuring proper electrical grounding and stability of the component.
- **Pin 6**: It may be used for additional control or monitoring functions, depending on the specific design of the LT1236ACN8 - 10.
