Product details
Overview
LM4040CIM3X-8.2 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, ±0.5% initial tolerance (C grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and operates from 91 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +85°C. It delivers stable reference voltage in space-constrained analog signal chains, ADC biasing, and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040CIM3X-8.2 datasheet, LM4040CIM3X-8.2 pinout, LM4040CIM3X-8.2 application, or LM4040CIM3X-8.2 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOT-23), validated pin functions (Anode/Cathode/NC), confirmed operating current range, thermal hysteresis (0.08%), and real-world substitution guidance for industrial and automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040CIM3X-8.2 uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C and incorporates bandgap curvature correction for low drift. Its dynamic impedance is ≤0.9 Ω at 1 mA, enabling stable regulation under varying load conditions without external capacitance.
It supports capacitive loads up to 10 nF and exhibits 35 μVRMS wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) with long-term stability of 120 ppm after 1000 hours. The device maintains specified performance across its full industrial temperature range with no output capacitor required.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C82IDBZR | Same 8.192 V, ±0.5% tolerance, but higher 120 ppm/°C max TC and 50 μVRMS noise. | Less suitable for high-precision metrology; acceptable for general-purpose power monitoring. | Prefer LM4040CIM3X-8.2 when low noise and tight TC are required. |
| MAX6008BEUR+T | 8.192 V, ±0.2% tolerance (B grade), lower 75 ppm/°C TC, but requires ≥100 μA min current. | Better accuracy and drift, but incompatible with ultra-low-current battery designs. | Select MAX6008BEUR+T only if tighter initial tolerance justifies higher minimum current. |
Compared with TL4050C82IDBZR and MAX6008BEUR+T, the LM4040CIM3X-8.2 uniquely balances C-grade accuracy, micropower operation (91 μA), and low noise (35 μVRMS)-making it optimal for portable instrumentation where size, power, and precision are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact reference voltage and tolerance of LM4040CIM3X-8.2?
The LM4040CIM3X-8.2 has a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 8.192 V with ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C (C grade). This is verified in Section 6.19 of the TI datasheet SNOS633K, where electrical characteristics for the 8.2-V variant are explicitly tabulated for the IM3 package.
Which package does LM4040CIM3X-8.2 use, and what are its dimensions?
The LM4040CIM3X-8.2 uses the SOT-23 (DBZ) package, with nominal body dimensions of 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm. This is confirmed in the "Device Information" table on page 2 of the TI datasheet SNOS633K and matches the "M3" suffix in the part number.
Does LM4040CIM3X-8.2 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040CIM3X-8.2 does not require an output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load, including up to 10 nF, as stated in the Features section and Application Schematic on page 2 of SNOS633K.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040CIM3X-8.2?
The LM4040CIM3X-8.2 requires a minimum operating current of 91 μA at 25°C, as specified in Table 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of SNOS633K. This value increases slightly over temperature but remains below 100 μA across the full −40°C to +85°C range.
Is LM4040CIM3X-8.2 qualified for automotive applications?
The LM4040CIM3X-8.2 is not automotive-qualified; it belongs to the industrial-grade LM4040-N series. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4040-N-Q1 variant in SOT-23 (e.g., LM4040CIM3X-8.2Q1), which meets AEC-Q100 Grade 3 requirements per the datasheet's Product Folder distinction.
