Product details
Overview
LM4040BEM3-3.0+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3.000V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, featuring 0.2% initial accuracy, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C. It delivers stable reverse-breakdown voltage with 60μA–15mA shunt current capability and low 0.8Ω dynamic impedance, ideal for high-accuracy analog sensing and power-supply monitoring in space-constrained industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BEM3-3.0+T datasheet, LM4040BEM3-3.0+T pinout, LM4040BEM3-3.0+T application, or LM4040BEM3-3.0+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100-qualified extended temperature range, no-output-capacitor stability, ultra-low 45µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), and compatibility with capacitive loads in battery-powered instrumentation.
Technical Context
The LM4040BEM3-3.0+T uses bandgap-based shunt regulation to maintain a precise 3.000V reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its laser-trimmed internal resistor network ensures tight initial tolerance, while thermal design guarantees ≤±100ppm/°C drift over –40°C to +125°C.
It operates without external stabilization capacitance and tolerates arbitrary output capacitance, simplifying layout in compact DC-DC feedback loops and ADC reference circuits. The device sinks reverse current only-forward conduction is limited to 10mA and not intended for regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V nominal at +25°C; ±6.0mV (0.2%) initial tolerance ensures reference accuracy within 3.000V ±0.006V at room temperature. |
| Tempco | ±100ppm/°C max; contributes ≤±0.030V error over full –40°C to +125°C range, critical for high-stability sensor front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | Adjustable 1.24V–18V output; 0.5% initial accuracy; 100ppm/°C tempco; SOT23-3 package. | Requires external resistors to set 3.000V; higher minimum cathode current (80μA); not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Select when adjustable output or higher voltage capability is needed; avoid if AEC-Q100 compliance or fixed 3.000V accuracy is mandatory. |
| MAX6003EUR+T | Fixed 3.000V; 0.2% accuracy; ±50ppm/°C tempco; SC70-3; but rated only to +85°C. | Lacks extended temperature qualification; lower long-term stability (200ppm vs. 120ppm @1000h). | Use in commercial-grade applications where cost is prioritized over automotive/industrial temperature range. |

FAQ
What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage tolerance of LM4040BEM3-3.0+T at +25°C?
The LM4040BEM3-3.0+T has a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 3.000V at +25°C with a guaranteed tolerance of ±6.0mV (0.2%). This means the actual measured voltage falls between 2.994V and 3.006V under standard test conditions, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 3.000V grade B variant.
Does LM4040BEM3-3.0+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040BEM3-3.0+T does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal architecture ensures stability with any capacitive load, including zero capacitance. This eliminates BOM cost and layout complexity, making LM4040BEM3-3.0+T ideal for compact, low-noise reference designs where board space is constrained.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LM4040BEM3-3.0+T?
The LM4040BEM3-3.0+T is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C. This extended temperature range is explicitly defined in the Ordering Information table for the "E" grade suffix and is validated per AEC-Q100 requirements, supporting use in under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments.
How does the dynamic impedance of LM4040BEM3-3.0+T affect its performance in ADC reference applications?
The LM4040BEM3-3.0+T has a maximum dynamic impedance of 0.8Ω at 1mA, meaning a 1mA transient load change causes less than 0.8mV output deviation. This low impedance preserves reference accuracy during fast ADC sampling cycles, preventing code errors in 12-bit and higher-resolution converters without requiring additional buffering.
Is LM4040BEM3-3.0+T AEC-Q100 qualified, and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, LM4040BEM3-3.0+T is AEC-Q100 qualified, as stated in the Benefits and Features section. This qualification confirms rigorous testing for temperature cycling, humidity, vibration, and electrical stress-ensuring reliability in automotive applications such as body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interfaces operating across –40°C to +125°C.
