Product details
Overview
LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23 package, delivering a fixed 2.048 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It operates from 60 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +85°C and requires no output capacitor-used in analog input modules and field transmitters for stable ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and noise performance, and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts for industrial and automotive-grade voltage reference design.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C and incorporates bandgap-derived curvature correction for low temperature drift. Its shunt topology places the cathode as the active output node, sinking current to maintain precise reverse breakdown voltage across varying load conditions.
It tolerates capacitive loads without oscillation and maintains stability with no external capacitor-enabled by low dynamic impedance (≤0.8 Ω at 1 mA) and optimized internal compensation. The device supports both industrial (−40°C to +85°C) and extended temperature operation, with thermal hysteresis limited to 0.08% after −40°C/125°C cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage-enables exact binary-scaled 12-bit ADC full-scale reference (2.048 V = 211 × 1 mV). |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B grade)-translates to ±4.1 mV absolute error, suitable for 10-bit system accuracy without calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C max-adds ≤±6.5 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C, preserving <0.3% total error across industrial range. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA-supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes (e.g., 60 μA @ 3.3 V = 0.2 mW) and high-current buffer stages. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz)-low enough to avoid degrading 16-bit SAR ADC ENOB below 15.5 bits. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤0.8 Ω at 1 mA-ensures <0.8 mV output shift per 1 mA load change, critical for stable reference in multiplexed systems. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs-equivalent to <±0.25 mV drift, supporting 10+ year field reliability in energy infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package: 3-pin surface-mount, 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body, 1.45 mm height, JEDEC MO-178 compatible. RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt Output / Voltage Reference Node | Active output terminal-connects to regulated rail; sinks current to hold 2.048 V against load variations. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference Ground / Return Path | Typically tied to system ground; forms current return path-must be low-impedance for accuracy. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to anode per TI layout guidance for EMI immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Enables space-constrained PCB layouts (e.g., 4-layer IoT sensor nodes) without stability risk or BOM cost. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps (e.g., 10 nF sampling capacitor) without phase margin loss or ringing. |
| Low 35 μVrms noise | Maintains ≥15.5 ENOB in 16-bit SAR ADCs-critical for precision data acquisition in test equipment. |
| 60 μA minimum operating current | Allows use with high-value bias resistors (e.g., 56 kΩ @ 3.3 V), reducing quiescent power in battery-powered field transmitters. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Validated for automotive subsystems (e.g., body control modules) operating from −40°C to +85°C with full traceability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431CDBZR | Adjustable 2.495 V reference; higher 22 Ω dynamic impedance; ±2% initial tolerance; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Requires external resistor divider; unsuitable for fixed-precision 2.048 V systems or automotive Grade 3 environments. | Select only if adjustable output and cost sensitivity outweigh need for 2.048 V accuracy and automotive compliance. |
| MAX6002EUR+T | Fixed 2.048 V; ±0.1% initial tolerance; 75 ppm/°C max tempco; SC70-3 package; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Same voltage and tighter tolerance, but lacks automotive validation and has higher 50 μVrms noise vs. LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB's 35 μVrms. | Prefer for non-automotive industrial designs needing highest initial accuracy, accepting trade-off in noise and qualification scope. |
Compared with TL431CDBZR and MAX6002EUR+T, LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB uniquely delivers AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification, 2.048 V exact binary alignment, and lowest noise in its class-making it optimal for automotive and metrology-critical shunt reference roles where fixed voltage, stability, and regulatory compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage of LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB has a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 2.048 V at 100 μA test current. This value is trimmed during wafer sort and guaranteed within ±0.2% (±4.1 mV) at 25°C for B-grade units. The 2.048 V point is selected for binary compatibility with 12-bit systems (211 = 2048), ensuring seamless integration into digital measurement architectures.
Does LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design eliminates the need for stabilization capacitance while maintaining stability with any capacitive load-including ADC sampling capacitors up to 100 nF. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and avoids potential resonance issues common in traditional shunt references.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB specifies a minimum operating current of 60 μA at 25°C, increasing to 65 μA across the full −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. This ultra-low current enables use in battery-powered field instruments and energy-harvesting sensors where quiescent power must remain below 0.2 mW at 3.3 V supply.
Is LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified (−40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems such as body control modules, HVAC actuators, and infotainment power management. It meets stress testing requirements including HTOL, TC, and ESD per AEC-Q100 Rev H.
How does LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB compare to LM4040AIM3-2.0/NOPB?
LM4040BIM3-2.0/NOPB offers ±0.2% initial tolerance versus ±0.1% for the A-grade LM4040AIM3-2.0/NOPB, with identical 2.048 V nominal voltage, 100 ppm/°C max tempco, 35 μVrms noise, and SOT-23 packaging. The B-grade variant provides cost-optimized precision for applications where 0.2% accuracy suffices-such as industrial sensor signal chains where system-level calibration compensates residual error.
