Product details
Overview
LM4040D30QDBZRG4 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a fixed 3.0V output with ±1.0% initial accuracy (D grade), 150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 35μVRMS wideband noise, and stable operation from –40°C to 125°C. It requires only 45μA minimum cathode current and supports data-acquisition systems where low drift and high thermal stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040D30QDBZRG4 datasheet, LM4040D30QDBZRG4 pinout, LM4040D30QDBZRG4 application, or LM4040D30QDBZRG4 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOT-23-3 pin mapping, thermal hysteresis (0.08%), dynamic impedance (≤1.2Ω), and validated alternatives for industrial and automotive voltage reference design.
Technical Context
The LM4040D30QDBZRG4 operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current (IZ) to maintain a stable 3.0V reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its Zener-zap trimmed silicon die achieves D-grade tolerance via wafer-sort fuse programming, with no external capacitor required for stability-even under full capacitive loading.
It features low dynamic impedance (≤1.2Ω at 1mA), low thermal hysteresis (0.08%), and long-term stability of 120ppm over 1000 hours. Designed for extended temperature operation (–40°C to 125°C), it maintains specified performance without derating across its full operating current range (45μA to 15mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0V nominal; enables direct interface with 3V ADC references and analog front-ends without scaling. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.0% max at 25°C; defines worst-case DC offset in precision sensor signal chains. |
| Temp Coefficient | 150ppm/°C max; contributes ≤±0.3% error over –40°C to 125°C ambient range. |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 35μVRMS typical; minimizes added uncertainty in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
| Min Cathode Current | 45μA typical; allows ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed monitoring circuits. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.2Ω at 1mA; ensures <1mV output shift under 1mA load transients. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% max; limits repeatability error after thermal cycling in field-deployed equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040D30QDBZRG4 is packaged in a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) surface-mount package measuring 2.92mm × 1.30mm. The device uses a two-terminal shunt topology with an optional third terminal for EMI mitigation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / voltage sense node | Connected to regulated supply rail; sinks all excess current to maintain 3.0V across anode-cathode. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Common reference return | Typically tied to system ground; forms the 3.0V reference potential relative to this node. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Must float or be connected to anode per TI recommendation in high-EMI environments (e.g., near switching regulators). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with all capacitive loads | Eliminates need for output capacitor-reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained modules. |
| Extended temperature range | –40°C to 125°C operation enables use in under-hood automotive and industrial motor control applications. |
| Low micropower consumption | 45μA minimum cathode current supports >10-year battery life in wireless sensor nodes. |
| Low wideband noise | 35μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz) preserves SNR in high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion paths. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures tight 3.0V output matching across production lots without post-package calibration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C30IDBZR | 3.0V, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C, SOT-23-3, 60μA min current | Better accuracy & tempco but higher min current; less suitable for ultra-low-power designs | Select when tighter DC specs outweigh micropower requirements. |
| MAX6003EUR+T | 3.0V, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 75ppm/°C, SOT-23-3, 65μA min current, 25μVRMS noise | Lower noise and tempco, but not qualified for 125°C operation; limited automotive qualification | Prefer for commercial-temp, low-noise instrumentation where extended temp range is unnecessary. |
Compared with TL4050C30IDBZR and MAX6003EUR+T, the LM4040D30QDBZRG4 trades initial accuracy and noise for guaranteed operation up to 125°C and lower minimum cathode current-making it optimal for thermally demanding, battery-sensitive industrial field devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for LM4040D30QDBZRG4?
The LM4040D30QDBZRG4 is characterized for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting extended temperature requirements for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications. Its electrical specifications-including 3.0V output, ±1.0% accuracy, and 150ppm/°C tempco-are guaranteed across this full range per TI's LM4040D30QDBZRG4 datasheet Section 6.13.
Does LM4040D30QDBZRG4 require an output capacitor?
No, the LM4040D30QDBZRG4 is inherently stable with all capacitive loads and does not require an external output capacitor for proper operation. This is confirmed in the official TI datasheet Section 3 ("Description") and Section 8.2 ("Typical Applications"), enabling simplified layout and reduced component count in compact designs.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040D30QDBZRG4 to regulate properly?
The LM4040D30QDBZRG4 requires a minimum cathode current of 45μA (typical) to maintain regulation at 3.0V. At 25°C, the datasheet specifies 45μA to 77μA depending on unit variation; full-range specification is 82μA max. This ultra-low requirement supports micropower applications such as battery-operated sensors and energy-harvesting systems.
How does the NC pin (Pin 3) function on LM4040D30QDBZRG4?
Pin 3 of the LM4040D30QDBZRG4 is a no-connect (NC) terminal with no internal connection. TI recommends leaving it floating or connecting it directly to the anode (Pin 2) in high-EMI environments-such as near switching power supplies or motor drivers-to reduce noise coupling into the reference node, as stated in datasheet Figure 5-1 and Table 5-1.
Is LM4040D30QDBZRG4 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM4040D30QDBZRG4 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "G4" suffix in the part number denotes TI's green packaging standard, confirming compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-001 ESD requirements. Full material declarations and compliance documentation are available via TI's Quality & Environmental Information portal.
