Product details
Overview
LM4040B10IDCKR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a fixed 10V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy (B grade), 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 35μVRMS wideband noise, and stable operation from 45μA to 15mA cathode current. It serves as a low-drift, low-noise voltage基准 in high-resolution ADCs, industrial sensor signal chains, and portable energy infrastructure monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040B10IDCKR datasheet, LM4040B10IDCKR pinout, LM4040B10IDCKR application, or LM4040B10IDCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10V output tolerance over –40°C to 85°C, SC-70 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts, and no-output-capacitor-required stability across all capacitive loads.
Technical Context
The LM4040B10IDCKR operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current (IZ) to maintain a precise 10V reverse breakdown voltage (VZ) across its terminals. Its Zener-zap trimmed silicon design achieves tight initial tolerance without external components.
It features low dynamic impedance (≤0.9Ω at 1mA), thermal hysteresis of 0.08%, and long-term stability of 120ppm after 1000 hours - enabling consistent performance in analog front-ends where drift directly impacts measurement fidelity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10V nominal; maintains ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C for high-precision calibration points |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% maximum (B grade); ensures minimal system-level offset error before temperature compensation |
| Temp Coefficient | 100ppm/°C max; limits voltage drift to ±0.65% over full –40°C to 85°C operating range |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 35μVRMS typical; avoids introducing measurable noise into 16-bit+ data acquisition paths |
| Min Cathode Current | 45μA typical; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered field transmitters |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤0.9Ω at 1mA; minimizes load-induced voltage variation during fast transient current demands |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial ambient conditions without derating |
Pinout & Package
LM4040B10IDCKR is packaged in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) outline measuring 2.00mm × 1.25mm. The device has three functional terminals and two NC pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Shunt current input | Primary current path; voltage regulation occurs between this pin and Anode |
| Anode (Pin 1) | Common reference node | Typically connected to system ground; defines 0V reference for VZ measurement |
| NC (Pins 4, 5) | No internal connection | Must remain unconnected; floating or tied to Anode only if EMI mitigation is required |
| Pin 2 (*) | Internal Zener reference node | Must float or connect to Anode; ties internal Zener structure to common potential for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-output-capacitor stability | Operates reliably with any capacitive load - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for external bypass caps |
| Wide cathode current range | 45μA to 15mA operation supports both ultra-low-power sensors and higher-current analog stages |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 0.08% hysteresis ensures repeatable voltage output after thermal cycling between –40°C and 125°C |
| High ESD robustness | ±2000V HBM rating protects against handling damage during assembly and field service |
| Long-term stability | 120ppm drift after 1000 hours enables decade-long calibration intervals in sealed instrumentation |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040C10IDCKR | ±0.5% initial accuracy, same 100ppm/°C TC and SC-70 package | Acceptable where lower cost outweighs tighter tolerance requirements | Select when system-level calibration compensates for initial error and long-term drift dominates spec budget |
| REF3010AIDBZR | 10V series reference; 0.2% accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC, 25μVRMS noise, SOT-23-3 | Requires external bypass capacitor; higher quiescent current (45μA vs. 45μA typical sink) | Choose for lower noise and better TC where board space permits series topology and added capacitor |
Compared with LM4040C10IDCKR, the LM4040B10IDCKR reduces initial error by 0.3% - critical for uncalibrated systems - while matching thermal behavior; versus REF3010AIDBZR, it eliminates output capacitance but trades 15μVRMS noise reduction for shunt topology flexibility.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LM4040B10IDCKR?
The LM4040B10IDCKR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C (industrial temperature range). This range is explicitly specified in the device comparison table and electrical characteristics sections of the TI datasheet, and applies to all LM4040BxxI variants including LM4040B10IDCKR. Operation outside this range is not guaranteed.
Does LM4040B10IDCKR require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4040B10IDCKR is stable with all capacitive loads and requires no external output capacitor. This is confirmed in the Features section ("Stable with all capacitive loads; no output capacitor required") and the Description section of the official TI datasheet. The device's internal design ensures phase margin across load conditions.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040B10IDCKR to regulate properly?
The LM4040B10IDCKR requires a minimum cathode current of 45μA (typical) to maintain regulation. This value is specified in Section 6.5 of the TI datasheet under "IZ,min" for LM4040B10I devices. Full-range specification guarantees ≤80μA maximum across –40°C to 85°C.
How does the pin configuration of LM4040B10IDCKR differ from the SOT-23 version?
LM4040B10IDCKR uses the 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package with Cathode on Pin 3, Anode on Pin 1, and Pins 4–5 as NC. In contrast, the SOT-23 (DBZ) variant places Cathode on Pin 1 and Anode on Pin 2 in a 3-pin layout. Pin 2 in DCK is a dedicated internal node (marked *), not present in DBZ - requiring distinct PCB footprint and routing.
Is LM4040B10IDCKR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, LM4040B10IDCKR is rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. The SC-70 package is qualified for peak temperatures up to 260°C, and TI's packaging documentation confirms RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating - meaning unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH.
