Product details
Overview
LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, delivering a stable 2.5 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.2% initial tolerance (Grade B) at 25°C, 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.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this device serves as a space-constrained, low-noise, high-stability reference for analog signal chains in industrial data acquisition, field transmitters, and automotive sensor interfaces where tight voltage accuracy and thermal stability are critical.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.2% initial accuracy and incorporates bandgap-derived temperature drift curvature correction. Its low dynamic impedance (0.3–0.8 Ω) and capacitive-load tolerance enable stable operation without external compensation across its full 60 μA–15 mA operating current range.
Designed for shunt-mode regulation, it functions with anode grounded and cathode supplying regulated voltage via series resistor. The SC70-3 package supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance (RθJA = 267°C/W) and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification for automotive use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, fixed and factory-trimmed - eliminates need for external adjustment circuitry |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (Grade B) - enables high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing without calibration |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C (max) over −40°C to +85°C - ensures <±19 mV total drift across industrial range |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 35 μVrms typical - minimizes contribution to system noise floor in precision measurement |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current reference buffering |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.8 Ω at 1 mA - maintains regulation stability under fast load transients |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% - guarantees repeatability after thermal cycling between −40°C and +125°C |
Pinout & Package
LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB is housed in a 3-pin SC70 (DCK) package (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body), with pin 1 = Anode (ground), pin 2 = Cathode (output), pin 3 = NC (no connect, must float or tie to anode per TI recommendation for EMI suppression).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Must be connected to system ground; establishes return path for shunt current |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Shunt output / voltage reference node | Delivers regulated 2.5 V when biased with external series resistor; connects to load or ADC reference input |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; TI recommends floating or tying to anode in high-EMI environments to reduce noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Stable operation with any capacitive load up to 10 nF - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Factory-trimmed accuracy better than ±0.2% at 25°C - eliminates post-manufacturing calibration |
| Bandgap temperature drift correction | Curvature-compensated design achieves ≤100 ppm/°C TC - outperforms standard Zener references |
| Low quiescent current | 60 μA minimum operating current - enables battery-powered field transmitter operation for >10 years |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Rated for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation - certified for automotive sensor modules and infotainment power rails |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA across its full temperature range. This limit ensures safe power dissipation within the SC70 package's 241 mW rating at 25°C ambient, with appropriate derating above that temperature per its 267°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Does LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design provides inherent stability with capacitive loads up to 10 nF, eliminating the need for external compensation and reducing layout complexity in compact PCBs.
What is the function of Pin 3 (NC) on LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB?
Pin 3 is a no-connect terminal in the SC70-3 package of LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB. Texas Instruments recommends leaving it floating or connecting it to the anode (Pin 1) in high-EMI environments - such as near switching regulators or transformers - to reduce noise coupling into the reference node.
Is LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. It meets stress testing requirements for automotive sensor modules, body electronics, and infotainment subsystems, though not extended Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C).
How does the temperature coefficient affect LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB accuracy over temperature?
The LM4040BIM7-2.5/NOPB has a maximum average temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C. Over the industrial range (−40°C to +85°C), this contributes ≤±19 mV (±0.76%) additional error beyond its ±0.2% room-temperature tolerance - a total worst-case deviation of ±0.96% at extremes.
