Product details
Overview
LM4040D50IDCKR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 5.0V 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, low-noise voltage reference in analog signal chains for industrial sensors and portable data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040D50IDCKR datasheet, LM4040D50IDCKR pinout, LM4040D50IDCKR application, or LM4040D50IDCKR equivalent, key selection considerations include its SC-70-5 package, –40°C to 85°C operating range, no-output-capacitor requirement, and compatibility with high-impedance or capacitive-load circuits.
Technical Context
The LM4040D50IDCKR operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current (IZ) to maintain a precise 5.0V reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals. Its Zener-zap trimmed silicon design achieves D-grade tolerance (±1.0% at 25°C) and supports stable regulation over 45μA–15mA IZ without external compensation.
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 industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and requires no output capacitor - enabling direct use in space-constrained, low-power analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V nominal; ±25mV (±1.0%) tolerance at 25°C ensures predictable ADC/DAC biasing in mid-range precision systems. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 150ppm/°C max; contributes ≤±0.75V drift over –40°C to 85°C ambient, suitable for non-critical industrial environments. |
| Cathode Current Range | 45μA to 15mA; enables ultra-low-power sensor biasing and robust operation across varying load conditions. |
| Wideband Noise | 35μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); minimizes added noise in high-resolution 16-bit+ data converters. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1Ω at 1mA; maintains tight regulation despite rapid load transients in feedback-controlled power supplies. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08%; limits repeatability error after thermal cycling - critical for calibration-critical instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040D50IDCKR is packaged in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) surface-mount package measuring 2.00mm × 1.25mm. Pin 1 is Anode (ground reference), Pin 2 is Cathode (voltage output), Pin 3 is NC (no internal connection), Pins 4 and 5 are NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Common terminal; must be connected to system ground or low-impedance return path for stable reference operation. |
| 2 | Cathode | Shunt output node; sinks current to regulate 5.0V across external load/resistor network. |
| 3, 4, 5 | No Connection (NC) | Unused pins; electrically isolated - may be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5.0V output | Eliminates external resistor networks and trimming, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in voltage-reference designs. |
| No output capacitor required | Enables direct integration into high-impedance nodes (e.g., op-amp inputs, ADC references) without stability concerns. |
| Stable with all capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to sampling capacitors or noisy digital domains without phase-margin degradation. |
| Low 35μVRMS noise | Preserves SNR in precision measurement paths - especially beneficial for 16-bit SAR and delta-sigma ADCs. |
| 45μA minimum operating current | Permits use in battery-powered field transmitters and IoT sensor nodes where quiescent current is tightly constrained. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Portable Data-Acquisition Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040C50IDCKR | 0.5% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C TC - tighter tolerance and lower drift than LM4040D50IDCKR. | Better suited for higher-accuracy industrial control loops where long-term stability is prioritized over cost. | Select when reference error budget demands <±0.3% total uncertainty over temperature and time. |
| TLVH431ACDBVR | Adjustable 1.24V–18V output, 0.5% accuracy, 90ppm/°C TC, 3-pin SOT-23 package. | Requires external resistors for 5V setting; offers flexibility but adds component count and layout sensitivity. | Choose if future designs require multiple reference voltages or programmable thresholds within same platform. |
Compared with LM4040C50IDCKR and TLVH431ACDBVR, the LM4040D50IDCKR trades tighter accuracy for lower cost and zero external components - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, fixed-5V applications where ±1.0% tolerance is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4040D50IDCKR?
The LM4040D50IDCKR is specified for industrial temperature range: –40°C to +85°C ambient. It is not rated for extended temperature operation (–40°C to +125°C), which applies only to Q-grade variants like LM4040D50QDCKR. This range supports deployment in most factory automation and consumer-grade portable equipment.
Does LM4040D50IDCKR require an output capacitor?
No, LM4040D50IDCKR does not require an output capacitor and remains stable with all capacitive loads - including direct connection to ADC reference inputs or sampling capacitors. This eliminates a common source of layout-induced drift and simplifies design for high-impedance analog nodes.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040D50IDCKR to regulate properly?
The LM4040D50IDCKR requires a minimum cathode current of 45μA (typical) at 25°C to maintain regulation. At full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), the guaranteed minimum is 80μA. Designers must ensure the external current-setting resistor delivers ≥80μA across worst-case VIN and temperature.
How does the noise performance of LM4040D50IDCKR impact ADC accuracy?
With 35μVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), LM4040D50IDCKR contributes <0.1 LSB error to a 5V-full-scale 16-bit ADC (LSB = 76.3μV). This enables effective resolution >15.5 bits in well-filtered systems - sufficient for most industrial and portable measurement applications.
Can LM4040D50IDCKR be used in place of LM4040C50IDCKR?
Yes, LM4040D50IDCKR is a functional drop-in replacement for LM4040C50IDCKR in the same SC-70-5 package, but with relaxed specifications: ±1.0% vs. ±0.5% initial accuracy and 150ppm/°C vs. 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. System-level validation is recommended if reference error budget is tight.
