Product details
Overview
LM4040D41ILPR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 4.096V nominal output, ±1.0% initial accuracy (D grade), 150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 35μVRMS wideband noise, and stable operation from 45μA to 15mA cathode current. It serves as a compact, capacitor-free reference in analog-to-digital converters and sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040D41ILPR datasheet, LM4040D41ILPR pinout, LM4040D41ILPR application, or LM4040D41ILPR equivalent, key selection criteria include its industrial-temperature-rated SOT-23-3 package, low minimum operating current, tight tolerance over –40°C to +85°C, and compatibility with all capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4040D41ILPR operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current to maintain a stable 4.096V reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals. Its Zener-zap trimmed silicon design achieves D-grade accuracy and supports operation from 45μA minimum current up to 15mA maximum cathode current.
It features low dynamic impedance (≤1.1Ω at 1mA), thermal hysteresis of 0.08%, and long-term stability of 120ppm after 1000 hours. The device is characterized for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation and requires no output capacitor, simplifying layout in space-constrained systems.

Pinout & Package
LM4040D41ILPR is packaged in a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) surface-mount package measuring 2.92mm × 1.30mm. Pin 1 is Cathode, Pin 2 is Anode, and Pin 3 is the NC (No Connect) terminal - which must float or be tied to Anode per TI recommendation in EMI-sensitive layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / voltage reference node | Connects to regulated supply rail; sinks current to maintain 4.096V across Anode–Cathode |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Common reference return / ground reference | Typically connected to system ground; forms reference potential for feedback networks |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Must remain unconnected or tied to Anode to reduce EMI susceptibility in noisy environments |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4040D41ILPR over its full operating temperature range?
The LM4040D41ILPR has a maximum initial accuracy of ±1.0% at 25°C and a temperature coefficient of 150ppm/°C. Over the full –40°C to +85°C range, its total output voltage tolerance is ±1.98% - calculated as ±1.0% ± (150ppm/°C × 65°C × 4.096V). This value is confirmed in Section 6.15 of the TI datasheet SLOS456Q.
Does LM4040D41ILPR require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040D41ILPR is inherently stable with all capacitive loads and does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability regardless of PCB trace capacitance or downstream filter caps - a key advantage over series references that mandate specific output capacitance values.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040D41ILPR to regulate properly?
The LM4040D41ILPR requires a minimum cathode current of 45μA (typical) to maintain regulation. At 25°C, the datasheet specifies 45μA to 75μA as the typical range; over the full –40°C to +85°C range, the guaranteed minimum is 80μA. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates from specification.
Which package type is used by LM4040D41ILPR, and what are its dimensions?
LM4040D41ILPR uses the SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package, a 3-pin surface-mount outline with nominal dimensions of 2.92mm × 1.30mm. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and modular industrial electronics where board space is at a premium.
How does the NC pin (Pin 3) on LM4040D41ILPR affect circuit performance?
The NC pin (Pin 3) on LM4040D41ILPR has no internal connection but must either float or be tied to the Anode (Pin 2) to minimize electromagnetic interference susceptibility. In high-noise environments - such as near switching power supplies or motor drives - connecting Pin 3 to Anode reduces voltage perturbation caused by EMI coupling into the reference node.
