Product details
Overview
LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23 package, delivering a stable 10.0 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade), 100 μA minimum operating current, and 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient. It operates across −40°C to +85°C and serves as a compact, capacitor-free reference for high-accuracy analog signal chains in industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB application, or LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 V fixed output, SOT-23 footprint compatibility, low 35 μVrms noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), wide 100 μA–15 mA operating current range, and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C and incorporates bandgap-derived curvature correction for stable voltage over temperature. Its shunt topology requires an external series resistor but eliminates need for output capacitance while tolerating arbitrary capacitive loads.
Designed for space-constrained applications, it leverages a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package with anode (pin 2), cathode (pin 1), and floating/optional connection pin (pin 3). Thermal hysteresis is limited to 0.08%, and long-term stability is 120 ppm after 1000 hours at 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage; fixed value enabling precise ADC/DAC biasing without trimming. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B grade); corresponds to ±20 mV absolute error, suitable for 12-bit+ system accuracy. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C max; ensures ≤±8.5 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C ambient range. |
| Operating Current | 100 μA to 15 mA; supports ultra-low-power sensor interfaces and high-current reference buffering. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz); low enough for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without additional filtering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.8 Ω at 1 mA; minimizes load-induced voltage variation in precision current-sense circuits. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body, 3-pin surface-mount with gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / output node | Connects to regulated voltage rail; sinks current to maintain 10.0 V across external load/resistor. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground reference | Typically tied to system ground; defines the 0 V reference point for the 10.0 V output. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating or connected to anode; improves EMI immunity in noisy environments when tied. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Enables direct integration into space-limited PCB layouts without stability-compromising bypass caps. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Stable operation with >1 μF output capacitance-critical for driving ADC sample-and-hold inputs. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C without post-package calibration or laser trimming. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Validated for automotive applications requiring −40°C to +85°C operation and robust reliability. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 0.08% voltage shift after thermal cycling between −40°C and +125°C-supports repeatable metrology. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB?
The LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA. This limit ensures safe power dissipation within the SOT-23 package's 306 mW rating at 25°C ambient. Exceeding 15 mA risks thermal overload and permanent damage, especially above 85°C ambient where derating applies per RθJA = 291.9°C/W.
Does LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal design maintains regulation across all capacitive loads, including >1 μF ceramic or tantalum capacitors. This eliminates board area and cost associated with stabilizing capacitors while simplifying layout for precision analog circuits.
Is LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified (−40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for non-critical automotive applications such as body control modules, HVAC sensors, and infotainment power rails. It is not Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), so engine bay use requires verification against thermal derating limits.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB?
The LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 100 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation at its nominal 10.0 V output. Below this threshold, the device exits regulation and output voltage collapses. At temperature extremes, minimum current increases slightly-up to 105 μA at −40°C per characterization data.
How does the pin configuration of LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB differ from LM4040AIM3-10.0/NOPB?
The LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB and LM4040AIM3-10.0/NOPB share identical SOT-23 pinout: cathode on pin 1, anode on pin 2, and NC on pin 3. The only difference is initial voltage tolerance-±0.2% for the B-grade LM4040BIM3-10.0/NOPB versus ±0.1% for the A-grade variant-both using the same DBZ package and pin functions.
