Product details
Overview
LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, delivering a stable 5.0 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 74 μA to 15 mA supply current and supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), serving as a compact, capacitor-free reference for analog signal conditioning in field transmitters and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB application, or LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, TO-92 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in energy infrastructure and automotive sensing, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The LM4040BIZ-5.0/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 (0.8 Ω typical at 1 mA) ensures stable regulation across load and temperature variations.
Unlike series references, it functions as a two-terminal shunt device requiring only an external current-limiting resistor. It tolerates capacitive loads without oscillation and requires no output capacitor-simplifying layout in space-constrained PCBs while maintaining stability from 74 μA minimum operating current up to 15 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, fixed and unadjustable - sets precise bias point for ADCs, DACs, and sensor signal chains. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B grade) - enables high-accuracy calibration without post-production trimming in production test. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C - limits voltage drift to ±4.25 mV across full industrial range, critical for stable reference in varying ambient conditions. |
| Operating Current | 74 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes (e.g., battery-powered field transmitters) and higher-current analog front-ends alike. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - low enough to avoid degrading ENOB in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.8 Ω typical at 1 mA - ensures minimal load-induced voltage shift (<0.8 mV per 1 mA load change), improving regulation under dynamic current draw. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB is packaged in a 3-pin TO-92 (LP) through-hole package with 4.30 mm × 4.30 mm body size. Pin 1 is Cathode, Pin 2 is Anode, and Pin 3 is NC (no connect), which must be left floating or tied to Anode in EMI-sensitive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | I/O | Shunt current input and output voltage node - connects to regulated rail; voltage appears between Cathode and Anode. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | O | Reference ground node - typically connected to system ground; defines the 0 V reference for the 5.0 V output. |
| NC (Pin 3) | - | No internal connection - must float or tie to Anode to reduce EMI susceptibility in noisy environments (e.g., near switching power supplies). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables direct integration into minimal-footprint designs without stability-compromising bypass components. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long traces without risk of oscillation or overshoot. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures ±0.2% initial accuracy at wafer level - eliminates need for board-level calibration or laser trimming. |
| Low quiescent current | 74 μA minimum operating current enables operation in always-on, battery-backed monitoring circuits. |
| Thermal hysteresis ≤0.08% | Minimizes voltage error after thermal cycling - critical for field-deployed equipment experiencing repeated temperature extremes. |
Applications
| Field Transmitters | Energy Infrastructure |

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 and ±0.2% initial tolerance, but SOT-23 package (smaller footprint); 75 μA min operating current; 40 μVrms noise. | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; not TO-92 compatible - requires layout revision and requalification for through-hole assembly lines. | Select TL4050B50IDBZR if surface-mount density is prioritized and rework of mechanical mounting is acceptable. |
| ADR3450ARJZ-R7 | 5.0 V series reference (not shunt); ±0.1% initial tolerance; 12 ppm/°C TC; requires input voltage ≥5.3 V; 10 μA quiescent current. | Eliminates external current-setting resistor but adds dropout headroom requirement - incompatible with low-voltage or single-supply 5 V systems. | Select ADR3450ARJZ-R7 only when input supply exceeds 5.3 V and ultra-low drift (12 ppm/°C) justifies redesign complexity. |
Compared with TL4050B50IDBZR and ADR3450ARJZ-R7, LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB uniquely combines TO-92 through-hole compatibility, shunt architecture (no dropout constraint), and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification - making it optimal for legacy industrial hardware upgrades and automotive under-hood analog signal chains where mechanical robustness and supply flexibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB?
The LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA. This limit is defined by absolute maximum ratings and thermal constraints of the TO-92 package. Exceeding 15 mA risks exceeding the 550 mW power dissipation rating at 25°C ambient, potentially causing thermal shutdown or long-term reliability degradation. Derating is required above 25°C per RθJA = 170°C/W (0.125″ lead length).
Does LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB does not require an external capacitor for stability. Its internal design eliminates the need for output capacitance, and it tolerates capacitive loads up to at least 10 nF without oscillation. This simplifies layout in analog signal chains and avoids phase-margin compromises common with series references.
What is the temperature range specification for LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB?
LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB is specified for the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C (Grade I). It is not rated for extended −40°C to +125°C operation. The datasheet confirms this range in Section 5.3 Recommended Operating Conditions and Electrical Characteristics tables labeled "Temperature Grade 'I'" - applicable to all LM4040BIZ-xxx variants.
How is the NC pin (Pin 3) used in LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB?
In LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB, Pin 3 is a no-connect (NC) terminal. TI recommends leaving it floating or connecting it to the Anode (Pin 2) - especially in high-EMI environments such as near transformers or switching regulators - to reduce noise coupling into the reference node and improve long-term stability.
Is LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB AEC-Q100 qualified?
No, LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the LM4040-N-Q1 family (e.g., LM4040BQDBZR) carries AEC-Q100 Grade 1 or Grade 3 qualification. The "I" suffix in LM4040BIZ-5.0/NOPB denotes Industrial Grade (−40°C to +85°C), not automotive qualification - confirmed in the device information table and Features section of the datasheet.
