Product details
Overview
LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, delivering a stable 2.5 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade) 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 LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this device serves as a space-constrained, low-noise, high-stability reference for analog signal conditioning, data acquisition front-ends, and automotive sensor interfaces where tight voltage accuracy and thermal stability are critical.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIZ-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 varying load currents.
This shunt reference functions as a two-terminal device: cathode supplies regulated voltage while anode is grounded; it maintains regulation by sinking current proportional to input supply excess above 2.5 V. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 0.08%, and long-term stability is 120 ppm after 1000 hours.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, fixed and non-adjustable - sets precise bias or reference level in analog circuits. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B grade) - enables high-accuracy ADC/DAC calibration without post-fabrication trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C (max) over −40°C to +85°C - ensures voltage drift ≤±19 mV across full industrial range. |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 35 μVrms typical - minimizes contribution to system noise floor in precision measurement paths. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and robust industrial signal chains alike. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.8 Ω at 1 mA - provides excellent load regulation and rejection of supply ripple. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% - guarantees repeatable voltage after thermal cycling between −40°C and +125°C. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB is housed in a 3-pin TO-92 package (body size 4.30 mm × 4.30 mm), with leads arranged bottom-view. Anode (pin 3) is grounded; Cathode (pin 2) delivers the 2.5 V reference; pin 1 is unconnected (NC) and must float or be tied to anode per EMI-sensitive layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 3) | Ground reference terminal | Common return path; must be connected to system ground for proper shunt regulation. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output / shunt current terminal | Provides 2.5 V reference voltage; sinks all excess current from series resistor to maintain regulation. |
| NC (Pin 1) | No-connect terminal | Must remain floating or be tied to anode (pin 3); improves EMI immunity in noisy environments when connected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables direct integration into space-constrained PCBs without stability-compensation components. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps or filtering networks without oscillation risk. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures ±0.2% initial accuracy at wafer level, eliminating need for board-level calibration. |
| Low quiescent current | 60 μA minimum operating current allows use in battery-powered field transmitters and IoT sensors. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB | ±0.5% initial tolerance (C grade), same TO-92 package and 2.5 V output | Lower accuracy acceptable in cost-sensitive industrial controls where ±0.5% system error budget exists | Select when tighter tolerance is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over calibration margin. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V series reference in SOT-23; 50 ppm/°C TC, 25 μVrms noise, 50 μA quiescent current | Requires input voltage ≥2.7 V; not a drop-in replacement due to 3-terminal architecture and different topology | Choose for ultra-low-noise, low-TC applications where supply headroom permits series topology and layout allows SOT-23 placement. |
Compared with LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB, the LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB offers 2.5× tighter initial tolerance for higher system accuracy; versus REF3025AIDBZR, it eliminates input headroom requirement and simplifies biasing but trades off slightly higher noise and temperature coefficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA across its rated temperature range. This limit ensures safe power dissipation within the TO-92 package's 550 mW rating at 25°C ambient, with appropriate derating above that temperature per its 170°C/W thermal resistance.
Does LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design achieves inherent stability across all capacitive loads, enabling direct connection to ADC input capacitors or filtering networks without risk of oscillation - a key advantage in compact analog front-ends.
What is the temperature range specification for LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB is specified for the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C (Grade I). It is also AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, meaning it meets automotive reliability requirements for this same temperature span.
How does the LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB achieve its ±0.2% initial voltage tolerance?
The LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB achieves ±0.2% initial tolerance via laser Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort. This precision adjustment targets the 2.5 V reverse breakdown voltage before packaging, ensuring compliance without post-assembly calibration - a process confirmed in TI's SNOS633N datasheet section 5.8.
Can LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB be used in place of LM4040AIM3-2.5/NOPB?
Yes, LM4040BIZ-2.5/NOPB can replace LM4040AIM3-2.5/NOPB in applications tolerant of ±0.2% vs. ±0.1% initial tolerance. Both share identical electrical specs except tolerance grade and package (TO-92 vs. SOT-23); mechanical redesign is required due to differing footprints and thermal characteristics.
