Product details
Overview
LM336MX-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 5.0V shunt voltage reference diode in an SOIC-8 package, rated for 0°C to +70°C operation, with ±1% initial tolerance, 0.6Ω dynamic impedance, and 600 μA to 10 mA operating current range. It serves as a stable low-voltage reference in digital voltmeters, power supply feedback loops, and op amp biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM336MX-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM336MX-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM336MX-5.0/NOPB application, or LM336MX-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its specified temperature stability over 0°C–70°C, trimmable breakdown voltage (±1 V), low dynamic impedance, and SOIC-8 packaging compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The LM336MX-5.0/NOPB functions as a monolithic shunt regulator with zener-like behavior but improved temperature coefficient control and dynamic impedance. Its three-terminal architecture enables external trimming of both output voltage and temperature drift via external resistors or diodes.
Unlike standard zeners, it delivers stable 5.0V regulation across a wide 600 μA–10 mA current range while maintaining ≤12 mV temperature-induced voltage change over 0°C–70°C. The SOIC-8 package supports surface-mount reflow per JEDEC Level-1-260C-UNLIM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 5.00 V nominal at 1 mA; min/max 4.8–5.2 V over temp and unit variation - ensures accurate system-level voltage scaling. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1% at 25°C - reduces calibration burden in production test and eliminates need for post-solder trimming in many applications. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω typical at 1 mA - minimizes load-induced voltage sag during transient current demand in feedback networks. |
| Operating Current Range | 600 μA to 10 mA - supports low-power sensor interfaces and high-current reference buffering without external gain stages. |
| Temperature Stability | ≤12 mV over 0°C to +70°C - guarantees <0.024% full-scale drift in precision measurement front-ends. |
| Adjustment Range | ±1 V via external potentiometer - allows fine-tuning to compensate for PCB trace resistance, buffer op-amp offset, or system-level gain error. |
Pinout & Package
LM336MX-5.0/NOPB uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 1.75 mm max height, and Q1 pin-1 quadrant orientation. Pin 1 is the cathode, Pin 2 is the anode, and Pin 3 is the adjust terminal; remaining pins are NC or internal thermal/trim connections per TI D0008A outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Main current sink node; connects to regulated voltage node or op-amp inverting input in shunt configuration. |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Current return path; tied to ground or negative rail in standard 5V reference setup. |
| Pin 3 | Adjust | Enables external trimming of reference voltage and temperature coefficient using resistor or diode networks. |
| Pins 4–8 | No Connect / Internal | Not bonded or functional; left unconnected per TI datasheet - no routing or grounding required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trimmed temperature coefficient | Minimized drift when adjusted to exactly 5.00 V - enables <±5 mV total variation over full commercial temp range. |
| Wide operating current range | 600 μA–10 mA - accommodates ultra-low-power IoT sensors and high-stability industrial DAC references without redesign. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.6 Ω - maintains regulation accuracy under fast load transients common in switched-mode power supply feedback paths. |
| Three-terminal architecture | Dedicated adjust pin - permits independent optimization of voltage setpoint and thermal drift without iterative component swaps. |
| SOIC-8 RoHS-compliant packaging | Sn lead finish, JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity - supports high-volume automated SMT assembly with standard reflow profiles. |
Applications
| Digital Voltmeter Reference | Power Supply Feedback |

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 | 2.495V adjustable reference; requires external resistive divider to set 5.0V; higher 0.2Ω typical impedance. | Used in switching regulator feedback; lacks dedicated adjust pin for temp-coefficient tuning. | Select when cost-sensitive designs require programmable reference with integrated comparator functionality. |
| REF5050AIDR | 5.0V series reference; 3.5ppm/°C drift; 10μA quiescent current; requires ≥5.5V supply. | Used in high-precision data acquisition; not shunt-based - incompatible with low-voltage or sinking-current topologies. | Select when ultra-low drift (<5 ppm/°C) and low noise dominate over supply headroom constraints. |
Compared with TL431ACDR and REF5050AIDR, LM336MX-5.0/NOPB uniquely combines fixed 5.0V output, shunt topology, trimmable temperature coefficient, and SOIC-8 packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, low-headroom, and thermally sensitive analog subsystems where direct 5V sourcing is required.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM336MX-5.0/NOPB?
The LM336MX-5.0/NOPB is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C, consistent with its commercial-grade classification. This range is explicitly defined in the SNVS750D datasheet and verified in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM. Operation outside this range may result in parametric shift beyond guaranteed specifications, and the device is not characterized for extended temperature performance.
Can LM336MX-5.0/NOPB be used as a negative voltage reference?
Yes, LM336MX-5.0/NOPB can function as a negative voltage reference because it operates as a bidirectional shunt regulator. When the anode is held at a higher potential than the cathode, it regulates the voltage difference between them - enabling configurations such as -5.0V references relative to system ground. This capability is documented in the "DESCRIPTION" section of the SNVS750D datasheet.
Does LM336MX-5.0/NOPB require external components to operate as a basic 5.0V reference?
No, LM336MX-5.0/NOPB functions as a complete 5.0V shunt reference with only two external connections: a current-setting resistor from supply to cathode (Pin 1), and anode (Pin 2) to ground. The adjust pin (Pin 3) is optional and may be left open or tied appropriately only when trimming is needed - confirmed in Figure 4 ("5.0V Reference") of the SNVS750D datasheet.
What is the maximum reverse current rating for LM336MX-5.0/NOPB?
The absolute maximum reverse current for LM336MX-5.0/NOPB is 15 mA, as specified in the "ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS" table of SNVS750D. Continuous operation above this limit risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term operation, TI recommends staying within the 600 μA–10 mA recommended operating range, where all electrical characteristics are guaranteed.
Is LM336MX-5.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM336 variants in SOIC-8?
Yes, LM336MX-5.0/NOPB shares identical SOIC-8 (D) package dimensions, pinout, and terminal assignments with LM336BMX-5.0/NOPB and LM336M-5.0/NOPB - all conform to TI's D0008A mechanical drawing and have Pin 1 (cathode), Pin 2 (anode), and Pin 3 (adjust) in the same locations. This allows direct substitution within the same package family without layout changes.
