Product details
Overview
LM4040BIM7X-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 - used in analog input modules, field transmitters, and data acquisition systems where space and stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, SC70-3 terminal mapping, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification context (Grade 3), and real-world selection guidance against comparable shunt references.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.2% initial accuracy and integrates bandgap-derived temperature drift curvature correction for stable output across industrial temperature range. Its low dynamic impedance (0.8 Ω typical at 1 mA) ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation.
Designed as a two-terminal shunt device, it functions by sinking current through its cathode to maintain precise 2.5 V across external load/resistor networks. It tolerates capacitive loads without oscillation and exhibits 0.08% thermal hysteresis after cycling from −40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, specified at 100 μA test current |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% (Grade B) at 25°C - translates to ±5 mV absolute error in 2.5 V output |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤±16.25 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor biasing and high-current reference buffering |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - enables high-resolution ADC reference without added filtering |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.8 Ω typical at 1 mA - ensures <1 mV output shift per 1 mA load change |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hours - ≈±0.3 mV drift over extended operation |
Pinout & Package
LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB is packaged in SC70-3 (DCK), with 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is Anode (ground reference), Pin 2 is Cathode (shunt current sink/output node), and Pin 3 is NC (no connect, must float or tie to anode per EMI mitigation guidance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Internally tied to substrate; must be connected to system ground or low-impedance return path |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Shunt output terminal | Sinks current to regulate 2.5 V across external resistor; connects to load or feedback network |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; leave floating or connect to anode only in high-EMI environments |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Stable operation with any capacitive load eliminates BOM cost and layout area for stabilization caps |
| Micropower operation | 60 μA minimum operating current enables use in battery-powered field transmitters and IoT sensors |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Validated for automotive applications from −40°C to +85°C with full production testing and traceability |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 0.08% hysteresis after −40°C/+125°C cycling ensures repeatable accuracy in cyclic thermal environments |
| Zener-zap trimmed accuracy | Fuse-based wafer-level trimming achieves tight ±0.2% initial tolerance without post-package calibration |

|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050B25IDBZR | 2.5 V, ±0.2% initial tolerance, SOT-23-3, 75 ppm/°C max tempco, 20 μVrms noise | Lower noise and tighter tempco, but higher minimum current (75 μA) and no AEC-Q100 qualification | Preferred for high-precision, non-automotive DAQ where noise dominates error budget |
| MAX6002BESA+ | 2.5 V, ±0.2% initial tolerance, SO-8, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 25 μVrms noise, 100 μA min current | SO-8 package offers better thermal dissipation and lower tempco, but larger footprint and no automotive grade | Chosen when board space allows and thermal stability at high ambient (>85°C) is critical |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This limit ensures safe power dissipation within the SC70-3 package's 241 mW rating at 25°C ambient. Exceeding 15 mA risks thermal overload and parametric shift, especially above 85°C ambient.
Does LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB does not require an output capacitor. Its internal design provides inherent stability with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC reference inputs or op-amp feedback nodes. This eliminates external components and PCB area typically needed for shunt reference stabilization.
Is LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use (Grade 3: −40°C to +85°C). It undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q100-002 (HBM ±2000 V) and AEC-Q100-011 (CDM ±750 V), and is manufactured with automotive-specific process controls and traceability - confirmed in TI's official LM4040-N-Q1 documentation.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB has a thermal hysteresis of 0.08%, defined as the voltage difference measured at 25°C after cycling to −40°C versus after cycling to +125°C. This low hysteresis ensures repeatable accuracy in systems experiencing repeated thermal cycles, such as outdoor energy meters or engine-bay BMS units.
Can LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB be used in place of LM4040AIM7X-2.5/NOPB?
Yes, LM4040BIM7X-2.5/NOPB can replace LM4040AIM7X-2.5/NOPB in most designs, with the trade-off of relaxed initial tolerance: ±0.2% vs. ±0.1%. Both share identical SC70-3 package, pinout, temperature range, noise, and dynamic impedance. Use the B-grade where ±0.2% total error budget accommodates the 2.5 mV wider tolerance band.
