Product details
Overview
LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, ±0.1% initial tolerance (A grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and operates from 91 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +85°C. It delivers stable reference voltage in space-constrained analog signal chains and ADC biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world operating current ranges, thermal hysteresis (0.08%), noise performance (35 μVrms), and validated alternative parts for industrial and automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.1% accuracy at 25°C and incorporates bandgap curvature correction for low drift. Its shunt topology requires no output capacitor and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 nF.
It features low dynamic impedance (0.3–0.8 Ω at 1 mA), wide operating current range (91–15,000 μA), and maintains 8.192 V output across industrial temperature range with ≤±19 mV total overtemperature tolerance (±0.1% + 100 ppm/°C × 65°C).

FAQ
What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage of LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB has a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 8.192 V, specified at 100 μA test current. This value is trimmed at wafer level to ensure ±0.1% initial accuracy (±8.2 mV) at 25°C, and remains within ±19 mV over the full −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Does LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load up to 10 nF, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in compact PCB designs.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 91 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation. This value increases slightly over temperature but remains below 100 μA across the full −40°C to +85°C range, enabling ultra-low-power operation.
Is LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
The LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4040-Q1 variant (e.g., LM4040QAIM3-8.2/NOPB), which is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3.
How does thermal hysteresis affect LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB performance?
The LM4040AIM3-8.2/NOPB exhibits 0.08% thermal hysteresis - the maximum voltage shift observed when cycling between −40°C and +125°C and returning to 25°C. For the 8.192 V output, this equals ±6.6 mV, ensuring repeatable calibration after thermal stress.
