Product details
Overview
LM4040BIM7-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 5.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, ±0.2% initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 74 μA minimum operating current, and 15 mA maximum operating current. It operates across −40°C to +85°C and delivers stable reference voltage in space-constrained analog signal chains for ADC biasing and sensor excitation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIM7-5.0 datasheet, LM4040BIM7-5.0 pinout, LM4040BIM7-5.0 application, or LM4040BIM7-5.0 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SC70-5), validated terminal roles (Anode/Cathode/NC), confirmed thermal performance (267°C/W RθJA), and two production-validated alternative parts with documented electrical and application differences.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIM7-5.0 uses Zener-zap trimmed bandgap architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation to maintain tight output stability over industrial temperature range. Its low dynamic impedance (0.8 Ω typical) and 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) support high-resolution data acquisition without external filtering.
Unlike series references, it functions as a two-terminal shunt device requiring only an external current-limiting resistor. It tolerates capacitive loads up to 10 nF and requires no output capacitor-enabling direct integration into battery-powered instrumentation and portable energy meters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B-grade), enabling 10 mV absolute accuracy in calibration circuits |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C, limiting drift to ±5 mV across full range |
| Operating Current | 74 μA min to 15 mA max-supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current DAC references |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.8 Ω typical at 1 mA, ensuring <1 mV load regulation error under 1 mA step changes |

| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hours, critical for unattended field instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
LM4040BIM7-5.0 is packaged in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) body measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Tolerates capacitive loads | Stable with up to 10 nF load capacitance-simplifies filtering for noisy environments |
| Micropower operation | 74 μA minimum current allows use in coin-cell-powered devices with >10-year battery life |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 0.08% hysteresis ensures repeatable voltage after thermal cycling-critical for metrology |
| Zener-zap trimmed accuracy | Fuse-based wafer-level trimming achieves ±0.2% grade without post-package adjustment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040CIM7-5.0 | ±0.5% initial tolerance (C-grade), same SC70-5 package and 5.0 V output | Lower accuracy acceptable in non-critical power supply monitoring or LED biasing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 0.3% tolerance margin; identical layout and drive capability |
| REF3050AIDBZR | Series reference, 5.0 V output, ±0.2% tolerance, 50 μA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 | Three-terminal architecture requires separate input/output; unsuitable for shunt-only topologies | Choose only if system allows series configuration and needs lower dropout or higher PSRR than shunt topology permits |
Compared with LM4040BIM7-5.0, LM4040CIM7-5.0 trades 0.3% initial accuracy for lower unit cost while retaining identical SC70 footprint and thermal behavior; REF3050AIDBZR offers comparable tolerance but demands different biasing and cannot replace LM4040BIM7-5.0 in existing shunt designs without schematic and layout revision.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4040BIM7-5.0?
The LM4040BIM7-5.0 is specified for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. Its electrical characteristics-including ±0.2% initial tolerance and ≤100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient-are fully guaranteed across this range. The device also supports extended operation up to +125°C, though certain parameters like tolerance degrade per datasheet overtemperature formulas.
Does LM4040BIM7-5.0 require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040BIM7-5.0 does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load up to 10 nF, eliminating the need for added components. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and avoids capacitor aging effects that could impact long-term reference accuracy.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040BIM7-5.0 to regulate at 5.0 V?
The LM4040BIM7-5.0 requires a minimum cathode current of 74 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation at its nominal 5.0 V output. This value increases slightly across temperature extremes, reaching 79 μA at −40°C and 82 μA at +85°C per TI's recommended operating conditions table.
Can LM4040BIM7-5.0 be used in automotive applications?
The LM4040BIM7-5.0 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4040-N-Q1 variant in SOT-23 package (e.g., LM4040BIM3-5.0Q1), which meets AEC-Q100 Grade 3 (−40°C to +85°C) or Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C). LM4040BIM7-5.0 remains suitable for non-automotive industrial and portable equipment.
How does the SC70-5 package of LM4040BIM7-5.0 affect thermal performance?
The SC70-5 (DCK) package of LM4040BIM7-5.0 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 267°C/W when board-mounted. This value directly impacts maximum power dissipation: at 85°C ambient, the device can safely dissipate ~150 mW before reaching its 125°C max junction temperature-sufficient for typical 5 V @ 10 mA operation (50 mW).
