Product details
Overview
LM4040BIM3X-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 (Grade B), 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 biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated SOT-23 pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal hysteresis (0.08%), and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts for industrial and energy infrastructure designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB implements a trimmed Zener-based shunt reference architecture with bandgap temperature drift curvature correction. Its low dynamic impedance (0.3–0.8 Ω) and capacitive-load tolerance enable stable regulation without external compensation across load current steps from 60 μA to 15 mA.
It uses wafer-level fuse-and-Zener-zap trimming to achieve ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C and maintains tight long-term stability (120 ppm after 1000 hrs). The device supports both industrial (−40°C to +85°C) and extended temperature operation, with thermal hysteresis limited to 0.08% over −40°C ↔ +125°C cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - enables precise 12-bit ADC full-scale calibration using binary-friendly 2.048 V reference. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (Grade B) - guarantees ≤ ±4.1 mV absolute error before temperature or aging effects. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C (max) - contributes ≤ ±6.5 mV error over −40°C to +85°C industrial range. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current buffer stages without redesign. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - minimizes quantization uncertainty in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% - ensures ≤ ±1.65 mV repeatability error after thermal cycling between −40°C and +125°C. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.8 Ω - sustains <1 mV load regulation shift across 1 mA current steps, critical for multiplexed analog inputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050B20IDBZR | Same 2.048 V output and SOT-23 package; ±0.2% tolerance; higher 50 μVrms noise; 100 ppm/°C tempco. | Validated for telecom power supervision; less common in energy metering due to lower long-term stability spec (200 ppm vs. 120 ppm). | Prefer TL4050B20IDBZR only when TI supply-chain continuity favors dual-sourcing within same fab process. |
| MAX6002BESA+ | 2.048 V output, SO-8 package; ±0.2% tolerance; 25 μVrms noise; 75 ppm/°C tempco; requires 100 nF output cap. | Used in medical instrumentation where lower noise justifies larger footprint and added capacitor. | Select MAX6002BESA+ only if board area permits SO-8 and sub-30 μVrms noise is mandatory for Class I medical ADCs. |
Compared with TL4050B20IDBZR and MAX6002BESA+, the LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB offers the optimal balance of ultra-small SOT-23 size, guaranteed 35 μVrms noise, and 120 ppm long-term stability - making it the preferred choice for space- and accuracy-critical industrial and automotive analog signal chains.

The LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C (Temperature Grade I). It is also AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, confirming suitability for automotive applications within this same ambient range.
How does LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB handle thermal hysteresis?
The LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB exhibits 0.08% thermal hysteresis - defined as the voltage difference measured at 25°C after cycling to −40°C versus after cycling to +125°C. This translates to ≤ ±1.65 mV deviation, critical for repeatable calibration in field-deployed instrumentation.
What package type and pin configuration does LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB use?
The LM4040BIM3X-2.0/NOPB uses the 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package. Pin 1 is Cathode (I/O), Pin 2 is Anode (ground), and Pin 3 is NC (no connect, left floating or tied to anode per EMI guidance). This mapping is confirmed in Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1 of the TI datasheet.
