Product details
Overview
LM4040A82IDBZR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 8.192V nominal output, ±0.1% initial accuracy (A grade), 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 35μVRMS wideband noise, and stable operation from 45μA to 15mA cathode current. It serves as a high-stability voltage reference in analog-to-digital converter biasing and sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040A82IDBZR datasheet, LM4040A82IDBZR pinout, LM4040A82IDBZR application, or LM4040A82IDBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include initial tolerance at 25°C, thermal drift over –40°C to 85°C, dynamic impedance under varying load current, noise performance in precision measurement front-ends, and compatibility with capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4040A82IDBZR operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current to maintain a precise 8.192V reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals. Its Zener-zap trimmed silicon design achieves tight initial tolerance via wafer-level fuse trimming, and its low dynamic impedance (≤0.8Ω at 1mA) ensures minimal output voltage variation with load transients.
It functions within an industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C and requires no output capacitor-stable with all capacitive loads-including those found in data acquisition system input stages and isolated sensor interfaces where layout constraints limit decoupling options.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for LM4040A82IDBZR?
The absolute maximum cathode current for LM4040A82IDBZR is 25mA, but the recommended operating range is 45μA to 15mA. Exceeding 15mA may increase self-heating and degrade long-term stability; operation above 25mA risks permanent device damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does LM4040A82IDBZR require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4040A82IDBZR is stable with all capacitive loads and does not require an external output capacitor. This feature simplifies PCB layout and reduces bill-of-materials cost-particularly valuable in space-constrained applications like handheld test equipment and modular I/O systems.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4040A82IDBZR?
The thermal hysteresis for LM4040A82IDBZR is 0.08%, defined as the voltage difference measured at 25°C after cycling to –40°C versus after cycling to +125°C. This low hysteresis ensures repeatable reference performance in applications subject to repeated thermal cycling, such as outdoor environmental sensors and automotive engine bay modules.
Can LM4040A82IDBZR be used in automotive applications?
LM4040A82IDBZR is qualified for the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for cabin and body-control automotive applications-but not for under-hood or safety-critical powertrain systems. For extended-range automotive use up to +125°C, TI offers the LM4040xQ variants (e.g., LM4040A82IQDBZR), which are AEC-Q100 qualified.
How does the 8.192V output voltage benefit digital systems?
The 8.192V output of LM4040A82IDBZR corresponds exactly to 213 × 1mV, enabling direct binary-scaled full-scale definition for 13-bit ADCs and DACs. This eliminates software scaling factors, reduces firmware complexity, and avoids rounding errors in digital signal processing pipelines used in precision instrumentation and audio converters.
