Product details
Overview
LM4040CIX3-5.0+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.000V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, featuring ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 60μA to 15mA shunt current. It delivers low 80µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz) and supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040CIX3-5.0+T datasheet, LM4040CIX3-5.0+T pinout, LM4040CIX3-5.0+T application, or LM4040CIX3-5.0+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reverse breakdown voltage tolerance over full temperature range, no-output-capacitor stability, ultra-small SC70 footprint, and AEC-Q100 qualification suitability for automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The LM4040CIX3-5.0+T implements a laser-trimmed bandgap core with dynamic impedance as low as 0.5Ω at 1mA, enabling stable regulation across wide current (60μA–15mA) and temperature (−40°C to +125°C) ranges. Its two-terminal architecture eliminates need for external capacitors while tolerating arbitrary capacitive loads.
Unlike series references, it operates as a shunt device-sinking variable current through an external series resistor to maintain precise 5.000V across its terminals. The NC pin (Pin 3) must be left unconnected or tied to cathode (Pin 2), preserving SC70-3 mechanical compatibility without functional impact.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V nominal; ±25mV (±0.5%) initial tolerance at +25°C ensures accurate system-level calibration without post-manufacture trimming. |
| Temperature Coefficient | ≤100ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C; guarantees ≤±0.5% total voltage drift across full operating range for robust sensor signal conditioning. |
| Shunt Current Range | 60μA to 15mA; enables use with high-impedance sources (e.g., battery monitors) and high-current analog front-ends without external buffering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.5Ω typical at 1mA; minimizes output voltage variation under load transients, critical for precision data acquisition systems. |
| Wideband Noise | 80µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); low enough to avoid degrading 16-bit+ ADC effective resolution in metrology-grade designs. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm after 1000h; supports >10-year field reliability in industrial control and medical equipment without recalibration. |
| Package | SC70-3 (1.8mm × 1.8mm); 50% smaller than SOT23, enabling dense PCB layouts in space-constrained portable electronics. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-3 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), RoHS-compliant, rated for −40°C to +125°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA = 340.4°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (+) | Anode (positive terminal) | Connected to system ground or low-side reference node; forms cathode-to-anode reverse-bias path for regulation. |
| Pin 2 (–) | Cathode (negative terminal) | Output node where stable 5.000V appears relative to Pin 1; sinks all shunt current required for regulation. |
| Pin 3 (N.C.) | No connection | Must be left floating or tied to Pin 2; no internal connection-ensures mechanical compatibility without electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70-3 footprint | 1.8mm × 1.8mm area saves >50% board space vs. SOT23, critical for wearable sensors and miniaturized IoT nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C50IDBZR | 5.0V, ±0.5%, SC70-3, 100ppm/°C, but requires ≥75μA min operating current and exhibits higher 120µVRMS noise. | Less suitable for ultra-low-power (<75μA) or low-noise (<100µVRMS) applications like battery-backed RTCs or 18-bit ADCs. | Select TL4050C50IDBZR only if legacy TI supply chain alignment is required; verify noise margin in high-resolution systems. |
| ADR3450ARJZ-R7 | 5.0V, ±0.1%, SOT23-3, 30ppm/°C, but larger footprint and 100μA min current; not SC70-compatible. | Better for metrology-grade systems needing <0.1% accuracy, but incompatible with space-constrained SC70 layouts. | Choose ADR3450ARJZ-R7 when absolute accuracy outweighs size constraints-requires PCB redesign due to SOT23-3 pad layout. |
Compared with TL4050C50IDBZR and ADR3450ARJZ-R7, LM4040CIX3-5.0+T uniquely balances SC70-3 miniaturization, 60μA minimum current, and 80µVRMS noise-making it optimal for next-generation portable and automotive modules where board area and power efficiency are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LM4040CIX3-5.0+T?
The LM4040CIX3-5.0+T is specified and guaranteed over −40°C to +125°C. This extended industrial temperature range is validated per the LM4040E grade, making LM4040CIX3-5.0+T suitable for under-hood automotive and factory-floor industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed +85°C.
Can LM4040CIX3-5.0+T operate without an external output capacitor?
Yes, LM4040CIX3-5.0+T does not require an external output capacitor and remains stable with any capacitive load-from 0pF to several µF. This eliminates capacitor-related BOM cost, layout sensitivity, and aging concerns, simplifying design for high-reliability applications such as medical sensors and aerospace telemetry.
What is the minimum shunt current required for LM4040CIX3-5.0+T to regulate properly?
The LM4040CIX3-5.0+T requires a minimum shunt current of 60μA to maintain regulation within specification. Below this threshold, output voltage may deviate beyond the ±0.5% initial accuracy band. Designers must size the series resistor to ensure ≥60μA flows through LM4040CIX3-5.0+T even at lowest input voltage and highest load current.
How does the NC pin (Pin 3) affect LM4040CIX3-5.0+T functionality?
Pin 3 of LM4040CIX3-5.0+T is a no-connect terminal with no internal connection. It must be left unconnected or tied to Pin 2 (cathode); doing so has zero effect on electrical performance but maintains mechanical compatibility with SC70-3 footprint standards used across the LM4040 family.
Is LM4040CIX3-5.0+T qualified for automotive applications?
LM4040CIX3-5.0+T belongs to the AEC-Q100-qualified LM4040 family. While the specific part number LM4040CIX3-5.0+T is not individually marked "/V", its SC70-3 packaging, −40°C to +125°C rating, and qualification pedigree make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems such as infotainment power supplies and body electronics-subject to customer qualification.
