Product details
Overview
LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, delivering a fixed 8.2 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance (C grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 91 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +85°C. It serves as a compact, capacitor-free reference in analog signal chains for data acquisition and industrial sensing.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 8.2 V output at 100 μA minimum current, low 35 μVrms noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), no-output-capacitor requirement, and SOT-23 thermal performance (RθJA = 291.9°C/W).
Technical Context
The LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.5% accuracy at 25°C and integrates bandgap-derived curvature correction for stable voltage over temperature. Its shunt topology requires an external series resistor but eliminates need for output capacitance while tolerating arbitrary capacitive loads.
It operates across 91 μA–15 mA reverse current, with dynamic impedance of 0.3–0.9 Ω at 1 mA, enabling high PSRR and low load regulation error (<8 mV over full current range). The device meets AEC-Q100 Grade 3 requirements for automotive use and supports industrial-grade reliability with 120 ppm long-term stability after 1000 hours.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431CDBZR | Adjustable 2.495 V reference; requires two external resistors for 8.2 V; higher 22 Ω dynamic impedance | Less accurate at 8.2 V due to resistor tolerance stacking; unsuitable for ultra-low-noise designs | Select when adjustable output or higher current capability (up to 100 mA) is needed; avoid where 35 μVrms noise is critical |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 8.192 V output; ±0.2% initial accuracy; SC70-3 package; 20 μVrms noise | Higher precision and lower noise, but only rated for −40°C to +85°C industrial grade (no AEC-Q100) | Select for metrology-grade data loggers where noise and accuracy outweigh automotive qualification needs |

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB requires a minimum reverse current of 91 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation within specification. This value increases slightly over temperature, reaching 95 μA at +85°C. Designers must size the series bias resistor to ensure this current is always met under worst-case supply and load conditions. The LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB will not regulate properly below this threshold.
Does LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB require an output capacitor?
No, the LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB does not require an output capacitor for stability. Its internal design eliminates the need for external capacitance, unlike many older shunt references. It remains stable even with large capacitive loads (e.g., ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces), simplifying layout and improving reliability in noisy environments.
What is the temperature coefficient of LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB has a maximum average temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This means its output voltage drift is bounded to ±0.068 V across that range, supporting applications where reference stability is critical without active temperature compensation.
Is LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, the LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB is AEC-Q100 qualified as Grade 3 (−40°C to +85°C ambient), making it suitable for automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interfaces. It meets stress testing requirements for humidity, temperature cycling, and ESD per AEC-Q100 Rev H.
What package type does LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB use?
The LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB uses the SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: a 3-pin surface-mount outline measuring 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is Cathode, Pin 2 is Anode, and Pin 3 is NC (no connect), which may be left floating or tied to Pin 2 for EMI suppression in noisy environments.
