Product details
Overview
LM336BM-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a precision 5.0V shunt voltage reference IC in an 8-pin SOIC package, featuring ±1% initial tolerance, 0.6Ω dynamic impedance, 600 μA to 10 mA operating current range, and 0°C to +70°C temperature rating. It serves as a stable low-voltage reference in analog-to-digital converters, power supply feedback loops, and calibration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM336BM-5.0 datasheet, LM336BM-5.0 pinout, LM336BM-5.0 application, or LM336BM-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 5.00V output at 1 mA, low temperature coefficient adjustability, wide current compliance range, and SOIC-8 packaging for automated assembly in industrial and test equipment designs.
Technical Context
The LM336BM-5.0 operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with a third terminal (ADJ) enabling precise trimming of both output voltage and temperature coefficient. Its monolithic construction delivers zener-like behavior with significantly lower dynamic impedance than discrete zeners.
Designed for operation from 0°C to +70°C, it achieves 4–12 mV temperature stability over that range when adjusted to 5.00V, and supports fast turn-on with minimal overshoot in transient response applications such as reference buffering and crowbar protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.00 V nominal at 1 mA reverse current; tightly controlled for precision ADC reference and DAC biasing. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1% (LM336B grade); ensures first-pass accuracy without post-manufacture trimming in cost-sensitive systems. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω typical; maintains stable regulation under varying load currents in feedback networks. |
| Operating Current Range | 600 μA to 10 mA; enables use with high-value bias resistors in low-power sensor interfaces. |
| Temperature Stability | 4–12 mV over 0°C to +70°C; supports stable performance in commercial-grade instrumentation without external compensation. |
| Package | SOIC-8 (D package); compatible with standard surface-mount reflow processes and automated optical inspection. |
Pinout & Package
LM336BM-5.0 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 1.75 mm max height, and RoHS-compliant matte tin (SN) lead finish. The device uses a non-standard pinout optimized for shunt reference operation with dedicated anode, cathode, and adjustment terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Primary current sink node; connects to system ground or negative rail in shunt configuration. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Reference output node; supplies regulated 5.0V to load when reverse-biased via external resistor. |
| Pin 3 | Adjust | Trim terminal for fine-tuning output voltage and minimizing temperature drift using external potentiometer or diode network. |
| Pins 4–8 | No Connect / Internally Unused | Reserved for die attachment and thermal management; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output range | 4V to 6V via external potentiometer on ADJ pin - enables calibration across production tolerances and aging effects. |
| Low temperature coefficient | Minimized to <10 ppm/°C when trimmed to 5.00V - critical for high-resolution measurement front-ends. |
| Wide operating current | 600 μA to 10 mA compliance - accommodates both ultra-low-power battery sensors and higher-current op-amp buffers. |
| Fast turn-on | Sub-microsecond response to current step changes - suitable for dynamic reference switching in multiplexed data acquisition systems. |
| Three-terminal architecture | Dedicated ANODE/CATHODE/ADJ pins - allows independent optimization of voltage accuracy and thermal drift without trade-offs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDR | 2.5V nominal reference; adjustable to 36V via resistor divider; 0.2Ω typical impedance; SOIC-8 package. | Requires external resistors to set 5.0V; lacks dedicated ADJ pin for direct temp-coefficient trimming. | Preferred where programmability and tighter 0.5% initial tolerance are prioritized over native 5.0V output and trim simplicity. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V precision series reference; 3ppm/°C max drift; 10μA quiescent current; SOIC-8 package. | Series topology requires different biasing; not usable as shunt regulator; higher cost and complexity. | Selected when ultra-low drift and low noise are mandatory, and board space allows series reference layout with dedicated ground path. |
Compared with TL431ACDR and REF5050AIDR, the LM336BM-5.0 offers native 5.0V output with integrated trim capability and shunt topology - simplifying design for fixed-voltage, low-component-count reference needs in commercial-grade instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current rating for LM336BM-5.0?
The absolute maximum reverse current for LM336BM-5.0 is 15 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term performance, TI recommends staying within the 600 μA to 10 mA operating current range defined in the Electrical Characteristics section of the LM336BM-5.0 datasheet.
Can LM336BM-5.0 be used as a negative voltage reference?
Yes, LM336BM-5.0 can function as a negative voltage reference because it operates as a bidirectional shunt regulator. When the cathode is held at a fixed negative potential and the anode is grounded, the device regulates −5.0V at the cathode. This configuration is explicitly supported in TI's application notes and used in bipolar output reference designs like Figure 21 of the LM336BM-5.0 datasheet.
Does LM336BM-5.0 require external capacitors for stability?
No, LM336BM-5.0 does not require external capacitors for basic DC stability. Its internal design provides inherent stability across the full 600 μA to 10 mA operating range. However, a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed between cathode and anode is recommended in noisy environments or fast-switching applications to suppress high-frequency ripple, as noted in TI's Application Hints section.
What is the purpose of the ADJ pin on LM336BM-5.0?
The ADJ (adjust) pin on LM336BM-5.0 enables precise trimming of both output voltage and temperature coefficient. Connected to a potentiometer or diode network (e.g., Figure 14–15), it allows calibration to exactly 5.00V and minimizes drift over temperature - a capability not available in standard two-terminal zener diodes. This pin is essential for achieving the 4 mV temperature stability specification.
Is LM336BM-5.0 RoHS compliant and what is its MSL rating?
Yes, LM336BM-5.0/NOPB.B is RoHS compliant with matte tin (SN) lead finish and carries an MSL Level-1 rating with unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH. Its peak reflow temperature is rated at 260°C, fully compatible with standard Pb-free soldering profiles for SOIC-8 packages as documented in TI's Package Materials Information.
