Product details
Overview
LM336M-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5V shunt voltage reference diode in SOIC-8 package, featuring 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance, ±1% initial tolerance (LM336B variant), and guaranteed operation from 0°C to +70°C. It functions as a low-temperature-coefficient zener replacement in analog front-ends, ADC/DAC biasing, and 5V-supply-derived references.
For engineers reviewing the LM336M-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM336M-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM336M-2.5/NOPB application, or LM336M-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include temperature stability over 0°C–70°C, trimmable reference voltage via external potentiometer, dynamic impedance under 1 Ω, and SOIC-8 surface-mount compatibility for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The LM336M-2.5/NOPB operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with third-terminal trimming capability-pin 1 enables adjustment of reference voltage and temperature coefficient independently. Its monolithic construction integrates a precision bandgap-like reference core with low-noise zener emulation.
It delivers stable 2.490 V nominal output when trimmed, supports 400 µA–10 mA operating current, and maintains ≤10 mV total drift across 0°C–70°C per design limits. Dynamic impedance remains ≤1 Ω at 1 mA, enabling fast transient response in feedback loops and high-PSRR reference buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Voltage | 2.5 V - precise reference point for ADC calibration and op-amp offset nulling |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1% (LM336B grade) - ensures <±25 mV absolute error at 25°C without trimming |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical - minimizes load-induced voltage shift in varying-current applications |
| Operating Current | 400 µA to 10 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-accuracy power supply monitors |
| Temp Range | 0°C to +70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded systems and industrial control panels |
| Long-Term Stability | 20 ppm/1000 hrs - critical for metrology-grade instruments requiring minimal drift over time |
Pinout & Package
LM336M-2.5/NOPB uses an 8-pin SOIC (NS M08A / JEDEC MS-012) package with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is the adjust terminal; pins 2 and 3 are cathode/anode (shunt configuration); remaining pins are NC or internal test points per die layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Adjust | Connects to external potentiometer for trimming reference voltage and temperature coefficient independently |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Main current sink node; connects to regulated voltage rail or op-amp inverting input |
| Pin 3 | Anode | Reference ground return; must be tied to system ground with low-inductance path |
| Pins 4–8 | No Connect | Internally unused; left floating or grounded per layout best practices to reduce noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trimmed temperature coefficient | Minimized to <±70 µV/°C when adjusted to 2.490 V using Figure 2 circuit |
| Low-noise operation | Zener noise voltage < 40 µVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz) - suitable for high-resolution data acquisition |
| Wide current compliance | Stable regulation across 400 µA–10 mA - eliminates need for current-setting resistor recalibration |
| Fast turn-on response | <10 µs rise time - supports pulsed reference activation in battery-powered wake-up circuits |
Applications
| Digital Multimeter Reference | 5V-Supply Buffered Reference |

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 | Programmable 2.5V reference; 2.5V fixed mode requires external resistors; 0.22Ω impedance; −40°C to +85°C | Requires external resistor network for 2.5V setting; no dedicated trim pin; higher min cathode current (1 mA) | Choose TL431ACDR for cost-sensitive designs where trim flexibility is unnecessary and wider temp range is required. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | Series reference; 2.5V output; 50 ppm/°C tempco; 220 µA quiescent; SOT-23-3 package | Three-terminal series topology; cannot operate as negative reference; lower max current (25 mA) | Choose REF3025AIDBZR when low quiescent current and small footprint outweigh shunt topology benefits like bidirectional polarity use. |
Compared with TL431ACDR and REF3025AIDBZR, the LM336M-2.5/NOPB uniquely supports true bipolar reference use (positive/negative configurations), offers dedicated pin-1 trimming for simultaneous voltage and tempco optimization, and delivers superior dynamic impedance (0.2 Ω vs. 0.22 Ω/2 Ω) for high-PSRR analog signal chains.

FAQ
What is the exact pin configuration of LM336M-2.5/NOPB?
The LM336M-2.5/NOPB uses an SOIC-8 package with pin 1 as Adjust, pin 2 as Cathode, pin 3 as Anode, and pins 4–8 as No Connect. This matches National Semiconductor's M08A mechanical drawing and is confirmed in the SNVS749D datasheet connection diagram for SO-package variants including LM336M-2.5.
Does LM336M-2.5/NOPB support negative voltage referencing?
Yes, the LM336M-2.5/NOPB operates as a shunt regulator and can be used as either a positive or negative voltage reference. When the anode is held at a potential higher than the cathode, it functions as a negative reference-enabling dual-supply op-amp biasing and inverted ADC reference topologies without additional level-shifting circuitry.
What is the minimum operating current for LM336M-2.5/NOPB?
The LM336M-2.5/NOPB guarantees regulation down to 400 µA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reverse Breakdown Change With Current" condition (400 µA ≤ IR ≤ 10 mA). Below this, reference voltage may deviate beyond ±1% tolerance and dynamic impedance rises significantly.
Can LM336M-2.5/NOPB be trimmed to exactly 2.490 V?
Yes-the LM336M-2.5/NOPB datasheet explicitly states that adjusting to 2.490 V minimizes temperature coefficient (Figure 2). Using a 10 kΩ potentiometer with two series silicon diodes (e.g., 1N4148), the trim range is typically ±70 mV, allowing precise 2.490 V setting for optimal thermal stability across 0°C–70°C.
Is LM336M-2.5/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM336M-2.5/NOPB is marked /NOPB, indicating lead-free (Pb-free) packaging and RoHS compliance per TI's Banned Substances Specification CSP-9-111S2. The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and carries appropriate marking on reel labels and shipping documentation.
