Product details
Overview
LM4040D82ILP from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 8.192V 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 reference in analog input modules and field transmitters requiring high stability over –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040D82ILP datasheet, LM4040D82ILP pinout, LM4040D82ILP application, or LM4040D82ILP equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to SOT-23-3 (LP), real-world use scenarios, and two validated alternative parts for industrial-grade voltage reference selection.
Technical Context
The LM4040D82ILP operates as a two-terminal shunt reference, sinking cathode current (IZ) to maintain a precise 8.192V reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals. Its Zener-zap trimmed silicon design achieves D-grade tolerance without external components, and it remains stable with any capacitive load - eliminating need for output capacitance.
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 uses fuse-based trimming for production consistency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 8.192V nominal at IZ = 100μA; enables exact binary-scaled ADC reference in 13-bit+ systems |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.0% max at 25°C (D grade); supports cost-sensitive industrial sensing without calibration |
| Temp Coefficient | 150ppm/°C max; contributes ≤±0.78% drift over –40°C to +85°C ambient range |
| Operating Current | 45μA min to 15mA max; allows ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current buffer stages |
| Output Noise | 35μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); preserves SNR in precision 16-bit data acquisition front-ends |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1Ω at 1mA; minimizes load-induced voltage shift in varying-current applications |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% over –40°C ↔ 125°C cycling; ensures repeatable reference value after thermal stress |
Pinout & Package
LM4040D82ILP is packaged in a 3-pin TO-92 (LP) through-hole package measuring 4.83mm × 3.68mm. Pin 1 is Cathode, Pin 2 is Anode (ground), and Pin 3 is NC (No Internal Connection) - must float or connect to anode per TI EMI guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / voltage sense node | Sinks all cathode current (IZ); connects to regulated supply rail via series resistor |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Common reference ground | Must be connected to system ground; defines 0V reference for output voltage |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Leads to open circuit; TI recommends connecting to anode in high-EMI environments |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-output-capacitor operation | Stable with all capacitive loads - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for decoupling caps |
| Micropower startup | 45μA minimum cathode current enables battery-powered operation for >10 years in 10μA systems |
| Wide current range | Operates reliably from 45μA to 15mA - supports both ultra-low-power sensors and high-drive buffers |
| Extended temp range | Specified from –40°C to +85°C - suitable for industrial control cabinets and outdoor field equipment |
| Low noise performance | 35μVRMS noise floor maintains ≥98dB SNR in 16-bit SAR ADC reference paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040C82ILP | 0.5% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C TC (C grade) vs. LM4040D82ILP's 1.0%/150ppm | Better stability over temperature; suited for higher-accuracy industrial DAQ where cost premium is acceptable | Select when tighter TC and initial tolerance justify ~15% BOM cost increase |
| TLVH431ACDBZR | Adjustable 1.24V–18V shunt reference; 0.5% accuracy; 3-pin SOT-23; requires two external resistors | Offers programmability but adds resistor matching error and layout complexity vs. fixed 8.192V | Choose only if system requires multiple reference voltages or future voltage flexibility |
Compared with LM4040C82ILP, the LM4040D82ILP trades 0.5% accuracy and lower TC for lower cost and simpler qualification; versus TLVH431ACDBZR, it eliminates resistor network errors and saves board space but fixes the output at 8.192V.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for LM4040D82ILP?
The absolute maximum cathode current for LM4040D82ILP is 25mA per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating range is 45μA to 15mA - exceeding 15mA risks thermal overload in TO-92 packaging unless heatsinking is applied. Continuous operation above 15mA requires verification of junction temperature rise using RθJA = 206°C/W.
Does LM4040D82ILP require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040D82ILP is inherently stable with all capacitive loads and does not require an output capacitor. This is confirmed in the device description and "Stable with all capacitive loads; no output capacitor required" feature bullet. Adding capacitance may even degrade transient response but will not cause oscillation.
What is the meaning of the 'LP' suffix in LM4040D82ILP?
The 'LP' suffix denotes the TO-92 package variant of the LM4040D82ILP. Per TI's packaging documentation, LP corresponds to the 3-pin through-hole TO-92 outline (4.83mm × 3.68mm), distinct from DBZ (SOT-23) or DCK (SC-70) variants. Pin 1 = Cathode, Pin 2 = Anode, Pin 3 = NC.
How does the 8.192V output of LM4040D82ILP benefit data acquisition systems?
The 8.192V output equals 213 mV, enabling direct 13-bit binary scaling in ADC reference designs - e.g., a 16-bit ADC with 8.192V reference yields exactly 0.5mV/LSB. This eliminates gain calibration and simplifies firmware, especially in portable DAQ systems where LM4040D82ILP's 45μA min current extends battery life.
Can LM4040D82ILP be used in automotive applications?
LM4040D82ILP is specified for –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade), not the full AEC-Q100 automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). While it may function in under-hood environments, TI does not qualify or guarantee performance beyond 85°C ambient. For automotive use, LM4040D82IQ (Q-grade, –40°C to +125°C) is the qualified variant.
