Product details
Overview
LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in TO-92 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 and field transmitters for ADC biasing and sensor excitation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, TO-92 terminal mapping, automotive-grade thermal stability data, and validated alternative parts for industrial and energy infrastructure designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C and integrates bandgap-derived temperature drift curvature correction. Its low dynamic impedance (0.3–0.9 Ω) and capacitive-load tolerance enable stable operation without external compensation.
Designed as a two-terminal shunt device, it functions with anode grounded and cathode supplying regulated voltage via series resistor. The TO-92 package supports through-hole mounting and provides 550 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with thermal resistance of 170°C/W (0.125″ lead length).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage at 100 μA - sets precise bias point for 12-bit+ ADCs and instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% (C grade) at 25°C - corresponds to ±12.5 mV absolute error, enabling single-point calibration in production test. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C - contributes ≤±13 mV drift across full industrial range, critical for field transmitter accuracy. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes (e.g., 4–20 mA loop) and high-current analog front-ends without redesign. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - ensures <0.0014% RMS noise contribution to 2.5 V reference, preserving ENOB in precision data acquisition. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.9 Ω at 1 mA - minimizes load-induced voltage shift (<1 mV at 1 mA load change), improving regulation in varying current conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB is supplied in TO-92 package (LP variant), with 3-pin through-hole configuration and body size 4.30 mm × 4.30 mm. Anode (pin 3) is grounded; cathode (pin 2) delivers regulated voltage; pin 1 is NC (no connect), recommended floating or tied to anode in EMI-sensitive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 3) | Ground reference node | Must be connected to system ground; establishes return path for shunt current and defines 0 V reference for output. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Shunt current sink / output voltage node | Delivers stable 2.5 V when biased with external series resistor; connects to load or ADC reference input. |
| No Connect (Pin 1) | Unused terminal | Leaving pin 1 floating is standard; TI recommends connecting to pin 3 (anode) only in high-EMI applications to reduce noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Enables space-constrained PCB layouts (e.g., DIN-rail transmitters) without stability-compensation components or layout tuning. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC sample-and-hold inputs or op-amp buffers with >1 nF capacitance-no isolation resistor needed. |
| Wide operating current range | 60 μA minimum enables battery-powered field devices; 15 mA maximum supports multi-channel analog front-ends without derating. |
| Low temperature coefficient | 100 ppm/°C max ensures <±13 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C-meets Class A accuracy requirements in industrial process control. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 3) | Validated for automotive applications up to +85°C ambient, supporting infotainment power supplies and body control module references. |

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 | 2.5 V, ±0.5%, SOT-23-3, 60 μA–15 mA, 50 μVrms noise, 150 ppm/°C TC | Higher noise and tempco; smaller surface-mount footprint | Select for space-constrained PCBs where 50 μVrms noise and 150 ppm/°C TC are acceptable. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V, ±0.2%, SOT-23-3, 50 μA–25 mA, 28 μVrms noise, 50 ppm/°C TC, series topology | Lower noise/tempco but requires input voltage >2.5 V; not a drop-in replacement | Choose when higher accuracy and lower noise justify redesigning bias network and adding headroom voltage. |
Compared with LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB, TL4050C25IDBZR offers identical tolerance and current range in SOT-23 but trades 15 ppm/°C higher tempco and 15 μVrms more noise; REF3025AIDBZR improves both specs but shifts from shunt to series architecture, requiring layout and supply voltage changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C (Grade I). It is not specified for extended −40°C to +125°C operation-only A- and B-grade variants in TO-92 (e.g., LM4040AIM3) support that range. This makes LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB ideal for indoor industrial controls and metering applications within the 85°C limit.
Does LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC reference inputs or op-amp buffers. This eliminates component count and layout sensitivity-confirmed in TI's datasheet Section 3 and Figure 8-1.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB to regulate properly?
The LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB requires a minimum cathode current of 60 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation within specification. At full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), the minimum increases to 65 μA. Below this, output voltage deviates beyond ±0.5%; proper biasing requires selecting a series resistor that guarantees ≥65 μA across worst-case VIN and temperature.
How does the noise performance of LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB impact high-resolution ADCs?
With 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB contributes <0.0014% RMS noise to its 2.5 V output-equivalent to ~0.8 LSB of noise in a 24-bit ADC with 2.5 V full-scale range. This preserves effective resolution in precision data acquisition systems without requiring additional filtering.
Is LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, LM4040CIZ-2.5/NOPB is AEC-Q100 qualified per Grade 3 (−40°C to +85°C), as confirmed in the "Features" section of the official TI datasheet (SNOS633N). This qualification validates its reliability for automotive body electronics, infotainment power rails, and non-safety-critical control modules-not for safety-critical ADAS or powertrain applications.
