Product details
Overview
LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, delivering a stable 10.0 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance (C grade), 100 μA minimum operating current, and 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient across −40°C to +85°C industrial range. It enables high-accuracy analog-to-digital conversion in field transmitters and energy infrastructure monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB application, or LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 10.0 V output, no-output-capacitor requirement, capacitive-load tolerance, low 35 μVrms noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), and compatibility with space-constrained industrial and automotive signal conditioning circuits.
Technical Context
The LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking current through its cathode to maintain precise 10.0 V across external load/resistor networks. Its Zener-zap trimmed bandgap architecture provides curvature-corrected temperature drift and low dynamic impedance (≤0.9 Ω at 1 mA), ensuring stable regulation under varying load and temperature conditions.
Unlike series references, it requires no input supply rail-only a current-limiting resistor-and tolerates unlimited capacitive loading without oscillation. Its fuse-trimmed wafer-sort process guarantees ≤±0.5% output tolerance at 25°C and ≤±29 mV total tolerance over −40°C to +85°C for the C-grade variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 10.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage; sets precise reference point for ADCs, DACs, and comparators. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% (C grade) at 25°C = ±50 mV; enables single-supply 12-bit system accuracy without trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C; contributes ≤±8.5 mV drift across full industrial range. |
| Min Operating Current | 100 μA at 25°C; allows ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed sensor nodes. |
| Max Operating Current | 15 mA; supports high-current biasing while maintaining regulation and thermal stability. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz); minimizes quantization error in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.9 Ω at 1 mA; ensures <1 mV load regulation shift per 1 mA current change. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB uses a 3-pin TO-92 (LP) package with 4.30 mm × 4.30 mm body size. Pin 1 is Anode (grounded), Pin 2 is Cathode (shunt current/output node), and Pin 3 is NC (no connect, must float or tie to anode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Internally connected to substrate; must be tied to system ground for proper shunt operation. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Shunt current sink / output terminal | Carries all reference current; voltage at this pin is regulated 10.0 V relative to Anode. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Electrically isolated; leave floating or connect to Anode to reduce EMI sensitivity in noisy environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables direct integration into compact PCB layouts without stability-compensation components. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Stable with any value of output capacitance-eliminates need for isolation resistors in filter stages. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures ≤±0.5% initial accuracy via wafer-level laser trimming, reducing post-assembly calibration. |
| Bandgap temperature drift correction | Delivers flat output vs. temperature curve, minimizing system-level gain error in wide-temp applications. |
| Low 35 μVrms noise | Preserves SNR in precision measurement paths, supporting ≥16-bit effective resolution in DAQ systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C10IDBZR | 10.0 V, ±0.5%, SOT-23-3, 60 μA min current, 75 ppm/°C max TC | Lower min current enables lower-power biasing; smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance (326°C/W vs. TO-92's 170°C/W) | Select TL4050C10IDBZR when board space is constrained and power dissipation <100 mW; LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB preferred for higher ambient temp or higher power margin. |
| REF3010AIDBZR | 10.0 V, ±0.2%, SOT-23-3, 50 μA min current, 50 ppm/°C max TC, series topology | Series architecture eliminates need for current-limiting resistor but requires ≥10.3 V input; not drop-in compatible | Choose REF3010AIDBZR only if input rail >10.3 V is available and tighter initial accuracy (±0.2%) justifies redesign; LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB retains simplicity and TO-92 thermal performance. |
Compared with TL4050C10IDBZR and REF3010AIDBZR, LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB offers superior thermal management in TO-92, no-input-rail flexibility, and proven robustness in high-EMI industrial environments-making it optimal for legacy-compatible, high-reliability shunt reference deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB?
The LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA. This limit ensures stable regulation and stays within the device's 550 mW power dissipation rating for the TO-92 package at 25°C ambient. Exceeding 15 mA risks thermal overload and output voltage deviation. Always verify junction temperature using RθJA = 170°C/W (0.125″ lead length) in your layout.
Does LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB does not require an external capacitor for stability. Its internal design eliminates the need for output capacitance, and it remains stable even with unlimited capacitive loading-unlike many older shunt references. This simplifies layout and avoids phase-margin concerns in sensitive analog signal chains.
What is the temperature range supported by LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB?
LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB is rated for the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C (Temperature Grade I). It is not qualified for extended automotive Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C); for that, the LM4040CQIZ-10.0/NOPB variant must be used. The C-grade tolerance and 100 ppm/°C TC are specified across this full −40°C to +85°C range.
How does the NC pin (Pin 3) function on LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB?
The NC pin (Pin 3) on LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB is electrically isolated and must either be left floating or connected to the Anode (Pin 1). TI recommends tying it to Anode in high-EMI environments (e.g., near transformers or switching regulators) to reduce noise susceptibility-this does not affect regulation but improves immunity to high-frequency interference.
What is the typical output noise of LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB?
The LM4040CIZ-10.0/NOPB delivers 35 μVrms wideband noise over the 10 Hz to 10 kHz bandwidth. This low-noise performance is measured at 100 μA operating current and directly impacts system SNR-enabling accurate 16-bit+ data acquisition without additional filtering or averaging in precision sensor interfaces.
