Product details
Overview
LM4040BIZ-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 5.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade) at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 74 μA minimum operating current, and stable operation across −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range-used for accurate ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation and battery-powered data loggers.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIZ-5.0 datasheet, LM4040BIZ-5.0 pinout, LM4040BIZ-5.0 application, or LM4040BIZ-5.0 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, TO-92 package details, thermal hysteresis (0.08%), dynamic impedance (0.8 Ω), and noise performance (35 μVrms, 10 Hz–10 kHz) critical for low-drift analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIZ-5.0 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference: cathode sinks current while anode connects to ground, enabling simple series-resistor biasing without output capacitor requirements. Its bandgap-derived Zener-zap trimmed structure ensures ±0.2% initial accuracy and curvature-corrected temperature drift.
It maintains stability under capacitive loads up to 10 nF and supports wide operating current (74 μA to 15 mA), making it suitable for both ultra-low-power sensor nodes and higher-current precision references where dynamic impedance (<0.8 Ω) minimizes load-induced voltage error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, tightly regulated across operating current and temperature |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B grade), corresponding to ±10 mV absolute error for system calibration budgets |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C, contributing ≤±6.5 mV drift across full industrial range |
| Min Operating Current | 74 μA - enables use in <100 μA systems such as coin-cell IoT sensors |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.8 Ω typical at 1 mA - limits load regulation error to <0.8 mV per 1 mA load change |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - supports 16-bit+ ADC accuracy without additional filtering |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% - ensures repeatable voltage after thermal cycling, critical for field-deployed test equipment |
Pinout & Package
LM4040BIZ-5.0 is packaged in TO-92 (LP package), 4.30 mm × 4.30 mm body size, with axial leads optimized for through-hole prototyping and cost-sensitive production.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Must be connected to system ground; defines 0 V reference point for cathode voltage |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Shunt current sink / output terminal | Delivers stable 5.0 V relative to anode; sinks all bias and load current |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to Pin 1 per datasheet guidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables direct integration into space-constrained PCBs without stability-compensation components |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Stable with up to 10 nF load capacitance-supports filtering directly at reference output |
| Micropower operation | 74 μA minimum current allows use in always-on, battery-life-critical applications |
| Zener-zap trimmed accuracy | Fuse-based wafer-level trimming achieves ±0.2% initial tolerance without post-package adjustment |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 0.08% ensures voltage repeatability after environmental temperature cycling in field instruments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050B50IDBZR | Same 5.0 V output, ±0.2% tolerance, but SOT-23 package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance) | Preferred for high-density PCBs; less suitable for manual assembly or high-reliability through-hole deployments | Select TL4050B50IDBZR when board space is constrained and reflow capability exists. |
| REF3050AIDBZR | Series reference (3-pin), 5.0 V, ±0.2% tolerance, 50 μA quiescent current - not pin-compatible, requires different biasing | Used where low dropout and supply rejection matter more than simplicity; needs input voltage >5.1 V | Choose REF3050AIDBZR only when supply headroom permits and PSRR >80 dB is required. |
Compared with TL4050B50IDBZR and REF3050AIDBZR, the LM4040BIZ-5.0 offers lowest component count (2-pin), TO-92 mechanical robustness, and proven long-term stability in fielded instrumentation-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, reliability-focused shunt reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040BIZ-5.0?
The LM4040BIZ-5.0 supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This limit ensures safe power dissipation in the TO-92 package (550 mW rating at 25°C ambient) while maintaining voltage regulation integrity and thermal stability across the full industrial temperature range.
Does LM4040BIZ-5.0 require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040BIZ-5.0 does not require an external capacitor for stability. Its internal design eliminates the need for output capacitance, and it remains stable even with capacitive loads up to 10 nF-enabling direct connection to ADC reference inputs or op-amp feedback networks without added components.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4040BIZ-5.0?
The LM4040BIZ-5.0 has a thermal hysteresis of 0.08%, defined as the voltage difference measured at 25°C after cycling between −40°C and +125°C. This low hysteresis ensures repeatable reference performance in field-deployed equipment subject to ambient temperature variations, such as handheld test instruments and outdoor energy monitors.
Can LM4040BIZ-5.0 be used in automotive applications?
The LM4040BIZ-5.0 is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive applications, TI offers the LM4040-N-Q1 variant in SOT-23 package with AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification-LM4040BIZ-5.0 itself is intended for non-safety-critical industrial and portable equipment.
What is the dynamic impedance of LM4040BIZ-5.0 and why does it matter?
The LM4040BIZ-5.0 has a typical dynamic impedance of 0.8 Ω at 1 mA operating current. This low value means the output voltage changes by less than 0.8 mV per 1 mA variation in load or bias current-critical for minimizing gain error in precision op-amp circuits and ensuring stable ADC reference voltage under varying load conditions.
