Product details
Overview
8418002XA from Texas Instruments is a precision 5.0V shunt voltage reference diode in a hermetically sealed TO-metal-can package, featuring 0.6Ω dynamic impedance, ±12 mV reverse breakdown change over 0.6–15 mA operating current, and guaranteed temperature stability of ≤36 mV across −55°C to +125°C. It serves as a low-drift, trimmable reference for aerospace-grade power supplies and high-reliability instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 8418002XA datasheet, 8418002XA pinout, 8418002XA application, or 8418002XA equivalent, this QML-qualified device supports critical design tasks including precision ADC/DAC biasing, crowbar circuit threshold setting, and bipolar reference generation under extended temperature and radiation-tolerant conditions.
Technical Context
The 8418002XA implements a monolithic shunt regulator architecture with a three-terminal configuration (Anode, Cathode, Adjust), enabling independent trimming of both output voltage (4.0–6.0 V range) and temperature coefficient via external resistive networks. Its 0.6Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal load regulation error across its 600 μA–10 mA operating current range.
Designed to MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q/V requirements, it undergoes full Group A testing per MIL-STD-883 across −55°C, +25°C, and +125°C, with guaranteed VR = 4.83–5.13 V (LM136-5.0QML grade) and ZRD ≤ 1.6 Ω at 1 mA, supporting stable operation in avionics and spaceborne systems where long-term drift and thermal hysteresis are tightly constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 4.83–5.13 V at 1 mA; enables precise 5.0V system calibration with <±2% initial tolerance. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.6 Ω; maintains <0.1% output variation under 1 mA load transients. |
| Operating Current Range | 600 μA to 10 mA; supports ultra-low-power sensor biasing and high-current reference buffering. |
| Temp Stability | ≤36 mV over −55°C to +125°C; eliminates need for external compensation in wide-temperature military designs. |
| Temp Coefficient Trim | Adjustable via third terminal; allows minimization of TC to <10 ppm/°C using diode-compensated networks. |
| Package | TO-46 metal can (NDV0003H); provides hermetic sealing, EMI shielding, and 46°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. |
Pinout & Package
8418002XA uses a 3-lead TO-metal-can package (NDV0003H, JEDEC TO-46 compliant), with leads arranged in bottom-view order: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = Adjust. The metal case is electrically connected to Pin 2 (Cathode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Current sink input | Connects to ground or negative rail when used as positive reference; enables bidirectional polarity configuration. |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Reference output / case connection | Delivers regulated 5.0V; metal case tied to this pin provides EMI shielding and thermal path to heatsink. |
| Pin 3 (Adjust) | Trim control node | Accepts external resistor network to adjust VR (4–6 V) and minimize temperature coefficient independently. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three-terminal trim architecture | Enables simultaneous optimization of output voltage accuracy and temperature coefficient without iterative rework. |
| Hermetic TO-46 metal package | Guarantees long-term parameter stability in high-humidity, vacuum, and radiation environments per MIL-PRF-38535. |
| Low 0.6Ω dynamic impedance | Reduces output error to <600 μV under 1 mA load step, critical for high-resolution data acquisition front-ends. |
| −55°C to +125°C operation | Validated across full military temperature range with no derating required up to 10 mA at +125°C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM136AH-5.0/883 | Same LM136-5.0QML die, identical electrical specs, but marked per MIL-STD-883 Class B screening. | Approved for Class B (non-QML) space programs; lacks QML certification documentation package. | Select when full QML-38535 qualification is not mandated but same performance and TO-46 package are required. |
| REF5050QPWRQ1 | 5.0V series reference (not shunt); 3ppm/°C max TC, 0.1% initial accuracy, SOIC-8 package. | Lower noise and drift, but requires dedicated supply rail and cannot function as crowbar element or bidirectional reference. | Select for automotive ADAS sensor signal chains where ultra-low drift outweighs need for shunt flexibility and hermeticity. |
Compared with LM136AH-5.0/883 and REF5050QPWRQ1, the 8418002XA uniquely combines QML-38535 Class Q/V qualification, hermetic TO-46 packaging, and three-terminal trim capability-making it irreplaceable for crowbar circuits, bipolar references, and systems requiring zero-layout-change upgrades from legacy LM136 designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reference voltage tolerance of 8418002XA at 25°C and 1 mA?
The 8418002XA (LM136-5.0QML grade) guarantees a reverse breakdown voltage of 4.83 V to 5.13 V at 1 mA and +25°C, corresponding to ±2.7% initial tolerance. This is verified per Subgroup 1 static testing in MIL-STD-883, and applies to all units shipped under this orderable part number.
Does 8418002XA support negative voltage reference configurations?
Yes, the 8418002XA supports negative reference use: connect Pin 1 (Anode) to the negative rail and Pin 2 (Cathode) to circuit ground, then derive −5.0V at Pin 1 relative to ground. Its shunt topology and symmetric forward/reverse characteristics enable true bidirectional operation without external inversion circuitry.
What is the maximum continuous reverse current rating for 8418002XA?
The absolute maximum reverse current for 8418002XA is 15 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Continuous operation up to this level is permitted within the −55°C to +125°C ambient range, provided junction temperature remains ≤150°C-achievable with ≤10 mA at +125°C in still air per θJA = 354°C/W.
Can the temperature coefficient of 8418002XA be reduced below 10 ppm/°C?
Yes-by connecting four silicon signal diodes (e.g., 1N4148) in series with the Adjust terminal (Pin 3) as shown in Figure 13 of the datasheet, the 8418002XA's temperature coefficient can be trimmed to <10 ppm/°C when adjusted precisely to 5.00 V. This configuration is validated for QML-qualified units and used in flight-critical IMU references.
Is 8418002XA RoHS compliant?
No, 8418002XA is not RoHS compliant: the "RoHS" column in TI's Packaging Addendum explicitly states "No" for this orderable part number. It contains leaded solder and is intended for high-reliability military/aerospace applications where exemption from RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU applies under Annex III.
