LM285Z-2.5RPG Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The LM285Z-2.5RPG is a shunt voltage reference IC manufactured by onsemi, providing a fixed 2.5V output with ±1.5% tolerance. This through-hole component operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and is classified as Active product status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package type (TO-92-3) and functional parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:
- Reference Type: Shunt
- Output Voltage: 2.5V fixed
- Output Tolerance: ±1.5%
- Output Current: 20 mA
- Noise Specification: 120µVrms (10Hz to 10kHz)

Engineering Selection Recommendations
LM285LPR-2-5 (Texas Instruments, Cut Tape) and LM285LPRE3-2-5 (Texas Instruments, Cut Tape) are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents to the LM285Z-2.5RPG, maintaining identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), output specifications, and ROHS3 compliance. Both are suitable for applications requiring industrial temperature operation.
LM285LP-2-5 and LM285LPE3-2-5 (Texas Instruments, Bulk packaging) provide equivalent electrical performance but differ in packaging format. These are appropriate for high-volume applications where bulk packaging is acceptable.
LM285Z-2.5#TRPBF (Analog Devices Inc., Tape & Reel) maintains full electrical equivalence and industrial temperature range with alternative packaging. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.
LM385 series parts (LM385BLP-2-5, LM385BLPE3-2-5, LM385BLPR-2-5, LM385BZ-2.5/LFT7) are functionally equivalent but operate within a narrower temperature range (0°C to 70°C). These are suitable only for applications not requiring the full -40°C to 85°C industrial range.
LM285Z-2.5/LFT7 (National Semiconductor, Bulk) provides electrical equivalence across the full industrial temperature range but lacks specified RoHS certification status.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can LM385 series parts directly replace the LM285Z-2.5RPG?
A: LM385 series parts are electrically equivalent but operate within a reduced temperature range (0°C to 70°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Use LM385 variants only if your application does not require operation below 0°C or above 70°C.
Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Bulk packaging?
A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging is supplied on individual tape strips suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging is supplied loose and is typically used for manual assembly or high-volume reel applications. Electrical performance is identical.
Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?
A: No. Packaging format (Cut Tape, Bulk, Tape & Reel) affects only handling, storage, and assembly methods. All variants maintain identical electrical specifications.
Q: Why does the LM285Z-2.5RPG have a higher cathode current (30 µA) than most substitutes (20 µA)?
A: Cathode current variation within the specified range does not affect functional equivalence. The 30 µA specification for the onsemi part remains within acceptable operating parameters for shunt voltage reference applications.
Q: Are all listed parts ROHS3 compliant?
A: Most listed parts are ROHS3 compliant. LM285Z-2.5/LFT7 (National Semiconductor) does not specify RoHS certification status. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application before selection.
Q: What is the significance of temperature coefficient differences?
A: Temperature coefficient (ppm/°C) indicates output voltage drift across the operating temperature range. Lower values (20ppm/°C) indicate better stability. Parts with 80ppm/°C or 150ppm/°C coefficients maintain the same ±1.5% tolerance specification and are functionally equivalent for applications within specified tolerance limits.
