Product details
Overview
LM4040C82IDBZR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 8.192V nominal output, ±0.5% initial accuracy (C grade), 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 35μVRMS wideband noise, and stable operation from 45μA to 15mA cathode current. It serves as a compact, capacitor-free reference in high-accuracy analog signal chains for industrial data acquisition and field transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040C82IDBZR datasheet, LM4040C82IDBZR pinout, LM4040C82IDBZR application, or LM4040C82IDBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8.192V fixed output, SOT-23-3 package compatibility, –40°C to 85°C operating range, low dynamic impedance (<0.9Ω), and guaranteed thermal hysteresis of ≤0.08%.
Technical Context
The LM4040C82IDBZR operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current (IZ) to maintain a stable 8.192V reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its Zener-zap trimmed bandgap core delivers tight initial tolerance and predictable temperature drift over full industrial temperature range.
It requires no external output capacitor and remains stable with all capacitive loads due to inherent low dynamic impedance (0.3–0.9Ω) and low noise design. The device's minimum operating current is 45μA typical, enabling use in ultra-low-power sensor front-ends and battery-operated instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% max at 25°C (C grade); supports <12-bit system accuracy without calibration |
| Temp Coefficient | 100ppm/°C max over –40°C to 85°C; contributes ≤±0.82mV drift across full range |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 35μVRMS typical; minimizes quantization error in high-resolution measurement systems |

Pinout & Package
LM4040C82IDBZR is packaged in a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) surface-mount package measuring 2.92mm × 1.30mm. Pin 1 is Cathode, Pin 2 is Anode, and Pin 3 is the NC (No Connection) terminal - must be left floating or tied to Anode per TI EMI guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / voltage sense node | Connects to regulated supply rail; sinks current to maintain 8.192V drop relative to Anode |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground / common return | Typically connected to system ground; defines voltage reference point for downstream circuitry |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Must float or tie to Anode in high-noise environments to reduce EMI susceptibility |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 8.192V output | Enables direct interface with 12-bit/13-bit SAR ADCs using standard VREF scaling (e.g., 2.048V × 4) |
| Capacitor-free stability | Eliminates need for output bypass capacitor, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained modules |
| Low 45μA min current | Supports operation in always-on sensor nodes powered by coin cells or energy harvesters |
| 100ppm/°C tempco | Meets industrial-grade drift requirements for field transmitters operating across –40°C to 85°C |
| 35μVRMS noise | Preserves ENOB >11.5 bits in 16-bit delta-sigma ADC applications at 10SPS |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040C82IDCKR | Same 8.192V/C-grade spec, but in 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package with two NC pins; 2.00mm × 1.25mm footprint | Preferred for ultra-dense layouts where SOT-23 height is constrained; requires different land pattern | Select when board space is prioritized over assembly compatibility with existing SOT-23 tooling |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | 8.192V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy (A grade), 75ppm/°C tempco, higher 60μA min current | Better accuracy/tempco but higher quiescent current; not qualified for extended temperature range | Choose for lab-grade instrumentation needing tighter specs, accepting higher power and narrower temp range |
Compared with LM4040C82IDBZR, LM4040C82IDCKR offers identical electrical performance in a smaller footprint but requires layout revision, while MAX6008AEUR+T trades lower drift and tighter tolerance for increased minimum current and reduced temperature coverage - making LM4040C82IDBZR optimal for cost-sensitive, wide-temp industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for LM4040C82IDBZR?
The absolute maximum continuous cathode current for LM4040C82IDBZR is 25mA, though the recommended operating range is 45μA to 15mA. Exceeding 15mA may increase self-heating and degrade long-term stability; operation above 25mA risks permanent damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does LM4040C82IDBZR require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040C82IDBZR is designed to be stable with all capacitive loads and does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal architecture ensures phase margin retention even with >1μF capacitance on the cathode node - a key advantage over older shunt references that mandate careful capacitor selection.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4040C82IDBZR?
LM4040C82IDBZR has a thermal hysteresis of ≤0.08% after cycling between –40°C and 125°C. This means the measured 8.192V output at 25°C deviates by no more than ±6.6mV before and after extreme temperature exposure - critical for field-replaceable modules requiring repeatable calibration.
Can LM4040C82IDBZR be used in automotive applications?
LM4040C82IDBZR is rated for –40°C to 85°C (industrial grade), not the full AEC-Q100 automotive temperature range. While it functions in cabin-located ECUs, TI does not qualify or warrant LM4040C82IDBZR for under-hood or safety-critical automotive use; the LM4040C82IQ variant is specified for –40°C to 125°C and preferred for such roles.
How does the NC pin (Pin 3) affect LM4040C82IDBZR performance?
Pin 3 of LM4040C82IDBZR is a no-connect terminal. TI recommends leaving it floating in benign environments, but tying it to the Anode (Pin 2) in high-EMI settings - such as near switching power supplies or motor drives - to suppress noise coupling and improve long-term voltage stability by up to 0.02%.
