Product details
Overview
LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, delivering a stable 2.5 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance (C grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It operates from 60 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +85°C and requires no output capacitor-used in analog input modules, field transmitters, and energy infrastructure sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SC70-3 terminal mapping, automotive-grade thermal stability data, and validated alternatives for industrial and AEC-Q100-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming at wafer sort to achieve ±0.5% initial accuracy and integrates bandgap-derived curvature correction for low drift. Its dynamic impedance is 0.3–0.9 Ω at 1 mA, enabling stable regulation under varying load currents.
It tolerates capacitive loads without oscillation and maintains 0.08% thermal hysteresis across −40°C to +125°C cycling-critical for high-reliability measurement front-ends where long-term voltage stability impacts ADC reference accuracy and sensor signal conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage; fixed value eliminates external resistor networks in reference design. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% at 25°C (C grade); corresponds to ±12.5 mV absolute error for system-level calibration planning. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C max over −40°C to +85°C; contributes ≤±16.25 mV drift across full industrial range. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA; ultra-low minimum enables battery-powered sensor nodes; high max supports active load driving. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz); low enough for 16-bit ADC reference without additional filtering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.9 Ω at 1 mA; ensures <1 mV output shift per 1 mA load change-critical for precision current-sense references. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% after −40°C/+125°C cycling; guarantees repeatability in field-deployed instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB is packaged in SC70-3 (DCK), with 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size and 0.65 mm pitch. Pin 1 = Anode (ground reference), Pin 2 = Cathode (shunt current/output node), Pin 3 = NC (no connect, must float or tie to anode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Reference ground node | Internally connected to substrate; must be tied to system ground for stable biasing and noise rejection. |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Shunt current sink / output voltage node | Delivers regulated 2.5 V when reverse-biased; connects to feedback node of op-amp or ADC reference input. |
| Pin 3 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; floating by default; TI recommends tying to anode in EMI-prone layouts to reduce noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables single-component reference design in space-constrained PCBs-eliminates footprint, BOM count, and capacitor aging risk. |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable with any output capacitance (including 10 nF–10 μF decoupling caps), simplifying layout for mixed-signal SoCs and isolated power rails. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures ±0.5% initial accuracy at wafer level-reduces need for post-assembly calibration in production test. |
| Low 35 μVrms noise | Supports high-resolution data acquisition without added low-noise LDO or RC filtering-directly interfaces 16-bit+ SAR ADCs. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Validated for −40°C to +85°C operation in automotive subsystems (e.g., battery monitoring, ADAS sensors) with full reliability testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C25IDBZR | Same 2.5 V output, ±0.5% tolerance, but SOT-23-3 package; higher 50 μVrms noise; 120 ppm/°C max TC. | Less suitable for ultra-low-noise 16-bit DAQ; acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial controls with relaxed drift specs. | Select TL4050C25IDBZR only if SC70 footprint is not required and 120 ppm/°C TC meets system budget. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | 2.5 V, ±0.2% initial tolerance (A grade), 75 ppm/°C TC, but 50 μA min current; SC70-3 package identical to LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB. | Better accuracy and lower drift, but higher minimum current limits use in ultra-low-power wake-up circuits. | Choose MAX6008AEUR+T when ±0.2% tolerance and 75 ppm/°C TC are mandatory, and 50 μA min current is acceptable. |
Compared with TL4050C25IDBZR and MAX6008AEUR+T, LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB offers the optimal balance of SC70-3 footprint, 35 μVrms noise, and AEC-Q100 qualification-making it preferred for space-constrained, noise-sensitive automotive and industrial measurement systems where ±0.5% tolerance is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. It is also AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, meaning it meets automotive reliability requirements within that same range. Extended temperature versions (Grade 1) exist for −40°C to +125°C, but LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB specifically is specified for the industrial range.
Does LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load-including bypass caps up to 10 μF-making it ideal for compact, low-component-count reference circuits where board space is constrained.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB to regulate at 2.5 V?
The LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB requires a minimum cathode current of 60 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation at its nominal 2.5 V output. This value increases slightly over temperature, reaching 65 μA across the full −40°C to +85°C range-critical for ultra-low-power sensor node designs.
How does the noise performance of LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB compare to other shunt references?
LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB delivers 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), among the lowest in its class. This is significantly better than TL4050C25IDBZR (50 μVrms) and comparable to higher-cost bandgap-based references-enabling direct interface with 16-bit ADCs without additional filtering.
Is LM4040CIM7X-2.5/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4040 variants in SC70-3?
Yes, all LM4040 variants in SC70-3 (e.g., LM4040AIM7X-2.5/NOPB, LM4040DIM7X-2.5/NOPB) share identical pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC. This allows drop-in replacement across tolerance grades without PCB changes-simplifying design reuse and test validation.
