Product details
Overview
LM4040BIM3-5.0 from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.000V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in SOT23-3 package, featuring 0.2% initial accuracy, ±15ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C, 60µA–15mA operating current range, and 80µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz). It serves as a stable voltage reference in portable battery-powered systems requiring minimal board space and low quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIM3-5.0 datasheet, LM4040BIM3-5.0 pinout, LM4040BIM3-5.0 application, or LM4040BIM3-5.0 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SC70/SOT23 package mapping, confirmed shunt reference circuit role, real-world load-transient behavior, and manufacturer-validated alternative options for precision analog design.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIM3-5.0 implements a bandgap-based shunt reference architecture with laser-trimmed resistors for factory calibration. Its output voltage remains stable across 60µA–15mA reverse current and –40°C to +85°C ambient, without requiring external capacitors for stability.
It operates as a two-terminal device: cathode (+) and anode (−) define the reference node, while Pin 3 is NC (must float or tie to Pin 2). Dynamic impedance is 0.5–1.1Ω at 1mA/120Hz, enabling tight regulation under varying load conditions.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum shunt current the LM4040BIM3-5.0 can safely handle?
The LM4040BIM3-5.0 has an absolute maximum reverse current rating of 20mA. For reliable long-term operation, the recommended maximum continuous shunt current is 15mA. Exceeding 20mA risks permanent damage due to junction overheating. Derating is advised above +70°C ambient, with power dissipation limited to 320mW at +70°C (derating 4.01mW/°C above that point).
Does the LM4040BIM3-5.0 require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040BIM3-5.0 does not require an external output capacitor for stability. It is designed to remain stable with any capacitive load from 0 to at least 10µF, eliminating the need for additional components and simplifying layout. This capability is confirmed in the datasheet's "Output Capacitance" section and validated in typical operating characteristics plots.
What is the meaning of Pin 3 (N.C.) on the LM4040BIM3-5.0?
Pin 3 on the LM4040BIM3-5.0 is designated N.C. (No Connection) and must either be left floating or connected directly to Pin 2 (anode/ground). It has no internal connection and serves only as a mechanical placeholder in the SOT23-3 package. Connecting it elsewhere or applying voltage may compromise device reliability.
How does the LM4040BIM3-5.0 perform under fast load transients?
The LM4040BIM3-5.0 exhibits strong transient response: load steps from 1mA ±250µA settle within 10µs (typical), and 10mA ±2.5mA steps settle within 10µs with <20mV overshoot. This behavior is documented in Figures LM4040-09 and LM4040-11 of the datasheet, confirming suitability for dynamic analog systems like switched sensor interfaces.
Is the LM4040BIM3-5.0 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4040BIM3-5.0 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C and meets automotive ambient requirements for non-junction-box modules (e.g., body control, infotainment power rails). While not AEC-Q200 qualified, its specified temperature range, long-term stability (120ppm/1000h), and robust shunt architecture make it widely deployed in automotive Tier-2 subsystems where extended qualification is not mandated.
