Product details
Overview
LM4040D25IDCKR from Texas Instruments is a precision 2.5V shunt voltage reference in SC-70-5 package, rated for –40°C to 85°C operation, with ±1.0% initial accuracy, 150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 35μVRMS noise, and stable operation down to 45μA cathode current. It serves as a compact, low-power voltage基准 in analog-to-digital converters and sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040D25IDCKR datasheet, LM4040D25IDCKR pinout, LM4040D25IDCKR application, or LM4040D25IDCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2.5V output tolerance over temperature, minimal required cathode current, dynamic impedance under varying load, noise performance in high-resolution measurement paths, and compatibility with capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4040D25IDCKR operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current (IZ) to maintain a stable 2.5V reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals. Its Zener-based architecture uses wafer-level fuse and Zener-zap trimming to achieve D-grade accuracy (±1.0% at 25°C) and specified thermal drift (150ppm/°C).
It delivers stable regulation across a wide cathode current range (45μA to 15mA), exhibits low dynamic impedance (≤1.1Ω at 1mA), and maintains low wideband noise (35μVRMS, 10Hz–10kHz) - enabling use in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems where reference stability directly limits effective resolution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5V nominal; tight tolerance enables direct interface with 2.5V ADC references and op-amp bias networks. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.0% max at 25°C; defines worst-case offset in calibration-critical sensor front-ends. |
| Temp Coefficient | 150ppm/°C max; contributes ≤±0.25% error over –40°C to 85°C industrial range. |
| Min Cathode Current | 45μA typical; allows ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered IoT sensor nodes. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1Ω at 1mA; ensures <1mV output shift under 1mA load transients. |
| Output Noise | 35μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); supports ≥18-bit ENOB in precision SAR ADC applications. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial control and automotive cabin electronics. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040D25IDCKR is packaged in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) outline measuring 2.00mm × 1.25mm. The package includes two no-connect (NC) pins to support pin-compatible variants and improve layout flexibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Shunt current input / voltage reference node | Connected to supply rail; sinks current to regulate voltage at this node to 2.5V. |
| Anode (Pin 1) | Common return / ground reference | Typically tied to system ground; forms the reference potential for output voltage. |
| NC (Pins 4, 5) | No internal connection | Must be left unconnected or grounded per layout best practices; no electrical function. |
| Pin 2* | Internal Zener anode tie point | Must float or connect to anode; improves EMI immunity in noisy environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with all capacitive loads | Eliminates need for output capacitor - simplifies BOM and PCB layout in space-constrained modules. |
| Low 35μVRMS noise | Enables high-fidelity signal chains in 16-bit+ data acquisition without additional filtering. |
| 45μA minimum operating current | Supports micropower designs including energy-harvesting sensors and always-on monitoring nodes. |
| 150ppm/°C tempco (D grade) | Provides predictable, bounded drift for factory-calibrated instruments operating across temperature gradients. |
| SC-70-5 package | 0.65mm pitch, 2.0×1.25mm footprint - ideal for portable medical devices and modular I/O 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C25IDBZR | 2.5V, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 75ppm/°C, SOT-23-3, 60μA min current | Higher accuracy and lower tempco; requires higher minimum current and lacks NC pins | Select when tighter drift and accuracy are prioritized over ultra-low current consumption. |
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C, SOT-23-3, 50μA min current, series topology | Series reference with higher output drive capability but requires input headroom and external capacitor | Select when sourcing >1mA load current or needing better PSRR than shunt topology permits. |
Compared with TL4050C25IDBZR and REF3025AIDBZR, the LM4040D25IDCKR offers lowest quiescent current and simplest 2-pin implementation, making it optimal for passive, space-limited, or loop-powered designs where absolute accuracy is secondary to power and layout simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for LM4040D25IDCKR?
The absolute maximum cathode current for LM4040D25IDCKR is 25mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating range is 45μA to 15mA. Exceeding 15mA may increase self-heating and degrade long-term stability; sustained operation above 25mA risks permanent damage. Designers should verify thermal dissipation using RθJA = 252°C/W for the SC-70 package.
Does LM4040D25IDCKR require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040D25IDCKR does not require an output capacitor for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability with all capacitive loads, including direct connection to ADC reference inputs or op-amp feedback nodes. This eliminates capacitor-related aging, leakage, and board space concerns - a key advantage over many series references.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4040D25IDCKR?
The thermal hysteresis of LM4040D25IDCKR is 0.08%, defined as the voltage difference measured at 25°C after cycling between –40°C and 125°C. This low hysteresis ensures repeatable reference voltage behavior during thermal cycling in field-deployed equipment such as outdoor energy monitors or industrial controllers subject to diurnal temperature swings.
Can LM4040D25IDCKR be used in automotive under-hood applications?
LM4040D25IDCKR is characterized for –40°C to +85°C operation (industrial grade), not extended automotive temperature range. For under-hood applications requiring operation up to 125°C ambient, TI offers the Q-grade variant LM4040D25QDBZR (–40°C to +125°C). Using LM4040D25IDCKR beyond 85°C ambient violates its qualified operating conditions and may result in uncharacterized drift or reliability risk.
How does the 150ppm/°C temperature coefficient impact system accuracy over temperature?
With a 2.5V nominal output and 150ppm/°C coefficient, LM4040D25IDCKR contributes up to ±0.25% output variation over its full –40°C to +85°C range (ΔT = 125°C). That equates to ±6.25mV total drift. In a 16-bit system with 2.5V full scale, this corresponds to ~4 LSB of error - acceptable for many industrial sensing applications but requiring calibration compensation in metrology-grade designs.
