Product details
Overview
LM4040BIM3-8.2 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, ±0.2% initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 91 μA minimum operating current, and stable operation across −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range - used for ADC/DAC biasing and sensor excitation in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIM3-8.2 datasheet, LM4040BIM3-8.2 pinout, LM4040BIM3-8.2 application, or LM4040BIM3-8.2 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT-23-3 terminal mapping, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and thermal differences.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIM3-8.2 employs bandgap-derived Zener-zap trimmed shunt topology with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation, enabling stable 8.192 V reference output without external capacitors. Its low dynamic impedance (≤0.8 Ω at 1 mA) and wide 91 μA–15 mA operating current range support high-accuracy feedback in low-power regulators and precision data converters.
It operates as a two-terminal device: cathode supplies reference voltage under reverse bias while anode connects to system ground; the third pin (NC) must float or tie to anode per TI's DBZ package specification. No startup delay or enable logic is present - it functions immediately upon sufficient reverse current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 8.192 V nominal; exact binary-matched value for 13-bit full-scale scaling in precision ADCs. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B-grade); corresponds to ±16.4 mV absolute error - suitable for <12-bit system calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C; contributes ≤±5.3 mV drift across full industrial range. |
| Min Operating Current | 91 μA at 25°C; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed sensors and energy-harvesting nodes. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.8 Ω at 1 mA / 120 Hz; ensures minimal load-induced voltage shift during fast transient loading. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz); low enough to avoid degrading ENOB in 16-bit SAR ADC front-ends. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs; predictable aging behavior supports 10+ year field reliability in sealed instruments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body, gull-wing leads, JEDEC-standard footprint compatible with automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / reference output node | Connects to regulated rail or ADC REF+; sinks all operating current; defines 8.192 V relative to anode. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Ground reference terminal | Mandatory system ground connection; all voltage specifications referenced to this node. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating or tied to Pin 2 (anode); no internal connection - not a trim or enable pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Stable under all capacitive loads up to 10 µF - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for bypass caps. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Guaranteed phase margin >45° with 0–10 µF at cathode - prevents oscillation in noisy supply environments. |
| Zener-zap voltage trimming | Fuse-based wafer-sort calibration achieves ±0.2% accuracy without post-package adjustment. |
| Low quiescent current | 91 μA min operating current enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA sleep-mode systems. |
| Industrial temp range | Specified performance from −40°C to +85°C - qualified for unheated outdoor and factory-floor deployments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050B82IDBZR | Same 8.192 V, ±0.2% grade, but uses buried Zener architecture; 40 μVRMS noise, 50 ppm/°C TC, 75 μA min current. | Better noise/TC for metrology; requires tighter layout due to higher sensitivity to board leakage. | Prefer when <0.05% total error budget demands lower drift/noise; verify PCB contamination control. |
| MAX6008BEUR+T | 8.192 V, ±0.2% grade, but CMOS-based; 20 μVRMS noise, 75 ppm/°C TC, 100 μA min current, 15 ppm/V line regulation. | Superior line/load regulation; higher cost; only available in SOT-23-5 (pin 3 = NC, pins 4–5 unused). | Select for systems with varying supply rails or where 15 ppm/V line regulation reduces calibration overhead. |
Compared with TL4050B82IDBZR and MAX6008BEUR+T, the LM4040BIM3-8.2 offers lowest cost and broadest temperature qualification (-40°C to +85°C), while trading off 5 ppm/°C TC and 15 μVRMS noise for proven robustness in high-humidity industrial settings.

FAQ
What is the exact reference voltage and tolerance of LM4040BIM3-8.2 at 25°C?
The LM4040BIM3-8.2 provides a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 8.192 V with ±0.2% initial tolerance at 25°C, corresponding to ±16.4 mV absolute deviation. This is confirmed in Section 6.19 of the TI SNOS633K datasheet for the B-grade industrial-temperature variant in SOT-23 packaging.
Does LM4040BIM3-8.2 require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040BIM3-8.2 does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load from 0 to 10 µF at the cathode, eliminating the need for additional components in space-sensitive designs.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for LM4040BIM3-8.2?
The LM4040BIM3-8.2 has an absolute maximum reverse current of 20 mA, forward current of 10 mA, and power dissipation of 306 mW in the SOT-23 package at 25°C ambient. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage, per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Section 6.1).
How does temperature affect the output voltage accuracy of LM4040BIM3-8.2?
Over the −40°C to +85°C industrial range, the LM4040BIM3-8.2 exhibits a maximum temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C, contributing up to ±5.3 mV total drift. Combined with its ±0.2% initial tolerance, total error remains within ±0.85% over temperature - verified in Section 6.19's overtemperature tolerance calculation.
Is LM4040BIM3-8.2 pin-compatible with other LM4040 variants in SOT-23?
Yes, all LM4040-N SOT-23 variants (including LM4040AIM3-8.2, LM4040CIM3-8.2, etc.) share identical DBZ package pinout: Cathode (Pin 1), Anode (Pin 2), NC (Pin 3). The LM4040BIM3-8.2 can be substituted on the same footprint without layout changes, provided current and accuracy requirements align.
