Product details
Overview
LM4040A82IDBZTG4 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 stable voltage reference in high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing, sensor excitation, and industrial analog input modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040A82IDBZTG4 datasheet, LM4040A82IDBZTG4 pinout, LM4040A82IDBZTG4 application, or LM4040A82IDBZTG4 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 low-level signal chains, and SOT-23-3 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4040A82IDBZTG4 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current (IZ) to maintain a precise 8.192V reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals. Its Zener-zap trimmed silicon junction delivers tight initial tolerance without external components.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance (≤0.8Ω at 1mA), minimal voltage variation (<8mV) across 1mA–15mA cathode current range, and thermal hysteresis of only 0.08% - enabling stable reference performance in cyclic temperature environments typical of field transmitters and energy infrastructure monitoring systems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040B82IDBZT | ±0.2% initial accuracy (B grade), same 100ppm/°C tempco and 8.192V output | Acceptable where ±20mV reference error is tolerable (e.g., non-critical biasing) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for <±10mV absolute accuracy |
| REF3082AIDBZR | 8.20V output, ±0.2% accuracy, 50ppm/°C tempco, 3.3V–5.5V supply requirement (series topology) | Requires external supply; unsuitable for shunt-based floating or high-side sensing topologies | Choose only if lower tempco is prioritized and series-reference architecture is feasible |
Compared with LM4040B82IDBZT, the LM4040A82IDBZTG4 provides twice the initial accuracy at identical tempco and noise; versus REF3082AIDBZR, it eliminates supply dependency and supports true two-terminal operation but trades 50ppm/°C for 100ppm/°C drift control.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4040A82IDBZTG4 at 25°C?
The LM4040A82IDBZTG4 has a ±0.1% initial output voltage tolerance at 25°C, corresponding to ±8.2mV around its nominal 8.192V output. This A-grade specification is verified per TI's SLOS456Q datasheet Section 6.19 and applies to the LM4040A82I family variant in SOT-23 packaging. The LM4040A82IDBZTG4 meets this tolerance without calibration or trimming.
Does LM4040A82IDBZTG4 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040A82IDBZTG4 is inherently stable with all capacitive loads and does not require an output capacitor. Its two-terminal shunt architecture and internal design eliminate oscillation risk even with large (>1μF) bypass capacitors on the cathode node. This feature is explicitly stated in the TI datasheet Section 1 Features and Section 3 Description, simplifying layout for space-constrained applications.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040A82IDBZTG4 to regulate properly?
The LM4040A82IDBZTG4 requires a minimum cathode current of 45μA (typical) to maintain regulation within specifications. At currents below this threshold, output voltage may deviate beyond the ±0.1% tolerance band. This value is specified in TI's SLOS456Q datasheet Table 6.19 for the LM4040A82I variant and confirmed across temperature ranges from –40°C to +85°C.
How does the noise performance of LM4040A82IDBZTG4 impact precision ADC applications?
The LM4040A82IDBZTG4 delivers 35μVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), directly limiting the effective number of bits (ENOB) in high-resolution ADCs. For a 16-bit, 8.192V-full-scale ADC, this noise contributes <0.5 LSB RMS, preserving >15.5 ENOB. This performance is validated in TI's datasheet Section 6.19 and makes LM4040A82IDBZTG4 suitable for metrology-grade data acquisition where reference noise dominates system error budget.
Is LM4040A82IDBZTG4 rated for operation beyond 85°C ambient temperature?
No, the LM4040A82IDBZTG4 is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature (industrial grade, denoted by "I" suffix). It is not rated for extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), which applies only to "Q"-suffix variants like LM4040C82Q. Using LM4040A82IDBZTG4 above 85°C ambient risks exceeding its specified electrical characteristics and thermal limits per Section 6.3 of the TI datasheet.
