Product details
Overview
LM336M-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, and operation over 0°C to +70°C. It functions as a low-temperature-coefficient zener replacement in analog front-ends, power supply feedback loops, and ADC/DAC reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM336M-5.0 datasheet, LM336M-5.0 pinout, LM336M-5.0 application, or LM336M-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 μA–10 mA operating current range, trimmable voltage (±1 V), temperature stability of ≤12 mV over 0°C–70°C, and SOIC-8 compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The LM336M-5.0 operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with a third terminal enabling voltage and temperature coefficient trimming. Its monolithic construction delivers zener-like behavior with significantly lower dynamic impedance than discrete zeners.
It requires no external biasing beyond a series resistor and supports both positive and negative reference configurations. The device's thermal design relies on SOIC-8's θJA = 165°C/W and maximum junction temperature of 100°C, limiting continuous power dissipation to ~45 mW at ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 5.00 V nominal at 1 mA; ±1% initial accuracy ensures stable 5V reference without calibration in mid-precision systems. |
| Operating Current Range | 600 μA to 10 mA; enables use with high-value bias resistors in low-power designs or robust sourcing in noisy environments. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω typical at 1 mA; minimizes output voltage variation under load transients, critical for high-resolution data converters. |
| Temperature Stability | ≤12 mV over 0°C to +70°C; guarantees <0.024% drift across commercial temperature range without external compensation. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1% (LM336B grade); reduces need for post-assembly trimming in cost-sensitive industrial instrumentation. |
| Adjustment Range | ±1 V via external potentiometer; allows fine-tuning to compensate for system-level gain errors or aging effects. |
| Package | SOIC-8 (D package); surface-mount format supports automated placement and reflow, with 1.75 mm max height for low-profile layouts. |
Pinout & Package
LM336M-5.0 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with standard pin spacing (1.27 mm pitch) and 1.75 mm maximum height. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with a beveled edge indicator per JEDEC MS-012AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or negative rail when used as a negative reference; defines current sink path. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Output node where regulated 5.0V appears; connects to load or feedback network. |
| Pin 3 | Adjust | Third terminal for trimming reference voltage and temperature coefficient; tied to potentiometer wiper in Figure 14/15. |
| Pins 4–8 | No Connect / Thermal Pad | Internally unconnected; left floating or grounded for thermal enhancement per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.6 Ω enables <1 mV output shift under 1 mA load step-critical for 12-bit+ ADC reference stability. |
| Wide operating current | 600 μA–10 mA range allows flexible biasing: ultra-low-power sensor nodes or high-immunity industrial interfaces. |
| Trim-capable architecture | Three-terminal design permits independent adjustment of voltage and temperature coefficient using external resistors/diodes. |
| Commercial temperature grade | 0°C to +70°C rating targets cost-optimized consumer, computing, and industrial control applications-not extended automotive or military. |
| SOIC-8 packaging | Standardized footprint simplifies PCB layout, supports AOI inspection, and enables drop-in replacement in existing D-package designs. |
Applications

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 adjustable reference (2.495V typ), higher 0.2Ω impedance, wider 1mA–100mA current range. | Requires external resistor divider for 5V output; lacks dedicated trim pin for tempco optimization. | Preferred when 2.5V base reference suffices and higher current drive is needed; not direct 5V replacement. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V precision series reference, 3ppm/°C drift, 0.003% initial accuracy, 10μA quiescent current. | Series topology requires input >5.2V; incompatible with shunt-based low-voltage or bidirectional reference topologies. | Selected for metrology-grade systems needing <0.01% total error; unsuitable for battery-powered or negative-reference use cases. |
Compared with TL431ACDR and REF5050AIDR, the LM336M-5.0 uniquely balances fixed 5V output, trim capability, and true shunt operation-making it optimal for legacy-compatible, low-cost, and dual-polarity reference designs where moderate accuracy suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for LM336M-5.0?
The LM336M-5.0 is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature, with a maximum junction temperature of 100°C. This commercial-grade specification aligns with TI's LM336B-5.0 variant and is validated per SNVS750D. Exceeding +70°C ambient risks exceeding the 100°C junction limit unless derated per SOIC-8's θJA = 165°C/W thermal resistance. Always verify board-level thermal performance in final layout.
Can LM336M-5.0 be used as a negative voltage reference?
Yes, LM336M-5.0 can function as a negative voltage reference by reversing its connection: connect the cathode to ground and the anode to the negative rail. As a shunt regulator, it regulates the voltage difference between its terminals regardless of polarity. This configuration is explicitly supported in TI's datasheet Figure 21 (Bipolar Output Reference) and enables symmetric ±5V references in dual-supply op amp circuits without additional components.
What is the purpose of the Adjust pin (Pin 3) on LM336M-5.0?
The Adjust pin (Pin 3) on LM336M-5.0 enables precise trimming of both output voltage and temperature coefficient. When configured per Figure 14, it allows ±1V adjustment of the 5.0V reference; when combined with four series diodes as in Figure 15, it minimizes temperature drift around 5.00V. This third terminal distinguishes LM336M-5.0 from basic zeners and provides design flexibility unattainable with two-terminal references-critical for meeting tight system-level accuracy specs without custom calibration.
How does LM336M-5.0 differ from LM336BZ-5.0?
LM336M-5.0 uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package, while LM336BZ-5.0 uses a 3-pin TO-92 (LP) package. Both share identical electrical specs (LM336B-5.0 grade: ±1% tolerance, 0°C–70°C, 0.6Ω impedance), but LM336M-5.0 supports higher power dissipation (due to SOIC thermal performance), automated assembly, and PCB space efficiency. The TO-92 version is suited for prototyping or low-volume through-hole builds, whereas LM336M-5.0 targets high-volume SMT production.
Is LM336M-5.0 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM336M-5.0/NOPB.B is RoHS compliant and features lead-free (Sn) lead finish per TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM. It carries MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life) and is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, making it compatible with standard lead-free soldering profiles. The "NOPB" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free packaging, and TI confirms full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and related amendments.
