Product details
Overview
LM4040DECT-2.0 from STMicroelectronics is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference delivering a stable 2.048 V output with ±1% initial accuracy at 25 °C, 70 ppm/°C max. temperature coefficient, and ultra-low 10 µA operating current. It operates across –40 to +125 °C and is optimized for space-constrained, battery-powered data acquisition and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DECT-2.0 datasheet, LM4040DECT-2.0 pinout, LM4040DECT-2.0 application, or LM4040DECT-2.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include shunt reference stability under capacitive loads, low-frequency noise (10 µVp-p), thermal hysteresis (120 ppm), and SOT323-5L package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4040DECT-2.0 functions as a two-terminal shunt reference, regulating voltage by sinking adjustable cathode current (10 µA to 15 mA) while maintaining precise reverse breakdown behavior. Its bandgap-based core ensures monotonic temperature response and minimal drift over industrial temperature extremes.
It exhibits stable operation with capacitive loads up to 1 µF (per Figure 11), features low dynamic impedance (0.15–0.3 Ω), and delivers typ. 10 µVp-p low-frequency noise (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz) - critical for high-resolution ADC biasing and sensor signal conditioning circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal; ±1% tolerance (LM4040D grade) at 25 °C - enables direct interface with 12-bit ADCs requiring ≤5 mV absolute error. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1% (LM4040D); verified at 25 °C with 100% production test - eliminates need for post-assembly calibration in cost-sensitive systems. |
| Temp. Coefficient | ≤70 ppm/°C over –40 to +125 °C - ensures <±0.15% output shift across full industrial range, supporting unheated outdoor sensors. |
| Operating Current | 10 µA min., 15 mA max. - allows use in ultra-low-power wake-up circuits and energy-harvesting nodes with microamp-level budget. |
| Low-Freq Noise | 10 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz) - minimizes added uncertainty in precision weigh-scale or thermocouple amplifier front-ends. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 120 ppm - limits voltage shift after thermal cycling, improving repeatability in field-deployed test equipment. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.15–0.3 Ω - maintains regulation stability despite rapid load transients in DAC reference buffers. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DECT-2.0 is housed in a 5-pin SOT323-5L package (3 active terminals + 2 NC pins). The NC pins (pins 2 and 5) must remain unconnected or tied to anode per datasheet guidance. This compact 2.0 × 2.2 mm outline supports high-density routing and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Reference output node | Sinks regulated current; connects to feedback network of external series pass element or ADC reference input. |
| Anode (Pin 3) | Ground reference terminal | Provides return path; must be low-impedance to avoid ground bounce-induced error in mixed-signal systems. |
| NC (Pin 2) | No-connect terminal | Electrically isolated; leave floating or tie to anode - no routing required, simplifies layout and avoids parasitic coupling. |
| NC (Pin 5) | No-connect terminal | Same function as Pin 2; dual NC structure accommodates mechanical symmetry in SOT323-5L mold design. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with capacitive loads | Validated stable up to 1 µF (Figure 11); eliminates need for external isolation resistors in decoupled reference designs. |
| Ultra-low operating current | 10 µA minimum; enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors with periodic ADC sampling. |
| Low-frequency noise performance | 10 µVp-p (0.1–10 Hz); reduces effective number of bits (ENOB) degradation in 24-bit delta-sigma ADC applications. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40 to +125 °C operation; qualified for under-hood automotive modules and factory-floor PLC analog inputs. |
| High precision grading | D-grade (±1%) offers optimal balance of cost and performance for industrial control loop references where ±5 mV error is acceptable. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | Adjustable (2.5 V min.), ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C tempco, 80 µA typical IQ | Requires external resistor divider; higher current draw limits battery life in always-on sensing | Choose when adjustable output or tighter initial accuracy justifies higher power and BOM count. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 2.048 V, ±0.1% accuracy, 20 ppm/°C tempco, 35 µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Higher precision and lower tempco but 3.5× higher operating current and no NC pins for layout flexibility | Choose for metrology-grade instruments where 0.1% accuracy outweighs power and package constraints. |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and MAX6008AEUR+T, LM4040DECT-2.0 provides the optimal trade-off of ultra-low power (10 µA), industry-standard 2.048 V output, and SOT323-5L's dual-NC layout advantage - making it preferred for space- and energy-constrained industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LM4040DECT-2.0 can drive without oscillation?
Per Figure 11 in DS13886 Rev 4, LM4040DECT-2.0 remains stable with capacitive loads up to 1 µF when operating at 10–15 mA cathode current. Stability is confirmed across –40 to +125 °C; loads exceeding 1 µF require series isolation resistance per application note AN4432.
Can the NC pins on the SOT323-5L package be grounded?
No - pins 2 and 5 are designated "NC" (no connect) and must either remain unconnected or be tied to the anode (pin 3), as explicitly stated in the datasheet. Grounding them risks altering internal thermal distribution and may degrade long-term voltage stability or tempco performance.
How does the 10 µA minimum operating current affect circuit design?
The 10 µA minimum (at 25 °C, Vk < 2.5 V) defines the lowest usable cathode current before regulation collapses. Designers must ensure the current-limiting resistor and supply voltage maintain ≥10 µA across all temperature and voltage corners - e.g., at 2.2 V supply and –40 °C, Ikmin rises to 12 µA per Table 3.
Is LM4040DECT-2.0 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - LM4040DECT-2.0 is qualified for lead-free soldering with a maximum lead temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds (Table 1), compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D. The SOT323-5L package uses ECOPACK2-compliant materials meeting RoHS and REACH requirements.
