Product details
Overview
LM4040DEM3-2.0 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with 2.048 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, ±20 mV (±0.98%) initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 65–73 μA min operating current over −40°C to +125°C, and 15 mA max operating current - used for accurate ADC/DAC biasing and sensor excitation in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DEM3-2.0 datasheet, LM4040DEM3-2.0 pinout, LM4040DEM3-2.0 application, or LM4040DEM3-2.0 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT-23 package details, thermal hysteresis (0.08%), low-noise operation (35 μVrms), and direct alternative part comparisons for high-reliability embedded and automotive designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040DEM3-2.0 implements a bandgap-based Zener-zap trimmed shunt reference architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation. It operates as a two-terminal device where cathode regulates voltage against anode ground reference, requiring no output capacitor and tolerating capacitive loads up to 10 nF.
Its dynamic impedance is ≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA/120 Hz, enabling stable regulation under varying load currents (65 μA to 15 mA) across −40°C to +125°C. Long-term stability is 120 ppm after 1000 hours at 25°C, and thermal hysteresis is limited to 0.08% over −40°C ↔ 125°C cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - precise enough for 12-bit ADC reference without trimming. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±20 mV (±0.98%) at 25°C - supports grade-D accuracy for cost-sensitive industrial applications. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C (max) - ensures <±1.3 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C industrial range. |
| Min Operating Current | 65 μA at 25°C, 73 μA over −40°C to +125°C - enables ultra-low-power battery operation. |
| Max Operating Current | 15 mA - supports driving moderate loads like op-amp bias networks or small DACs. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA/120 Hz - maintains tight regulation during fast load transients. |
| Wideband Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - suitable for precision analog signal chains without added filtering. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body, 3-pin surface-mount, JEDEC MO-178AA compliant. Anode grounded, cathode supplies regulated voltage, third pin (NC) must float or connect to anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / regulated output node | Connects to supply rail via series resistor; sinks current to maintain 2.048 V at this node. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground terminal | Must be connected to system ground; defines zero-reference point for output voltage. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to Pin 2 (anode) per datasheet guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables single-component voltage reference design with guaranteed stability into capacitive loads ≤10 nF. |
| Extended temperature range | Rated for −40°C to +125°C operation - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| Low dynamic impedance | ≤1.1 Ω ensures minimal output voltage shift (<11 mV) under 10 mA load step, critical for precision feedback loops. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Fuse-based wafer-sort trimming achieves ±20 mV initial accuracy without post-package calibration. |
| ESD robustness | ±2000 V HBM rating - withstands handling in standard manufacturing without special ESD controls. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C20IDBZR | 2.048 V, ±0.5% (±10.2 mV) initial tolerance, 75 ppm/°C max tempco, SOT-23 package. | Higher initial accuracy but wider tempco; requires tighter thermal layout for same drift performance. | Select when tighter room-temp accuracy is prioritized over extended-temperature drift control. |
| MAX6002EUR+T | 2.048 V, ±0.2% (±4.1 mV) initial tolerance, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, SOT-23 package. | Superior tempco and tighter initial spec, but higher 80 μA min operating current limits ultra-low-power use. | Select when system thermal management allows higher bias current and sub-50 ppm/°C drift is mandatory. |
Compared with TL4050C20IDBZR and MAX6002EUR+T, the LM4040DEM3-2.0 trades initial accuracy for lower minimum current and broader temperature qualification, making it optimal for cost-constrained, wide-temperature, battery-operated systems where ±0.98% tolerance is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040DEM3-2.0?
The LM4040DEM3-2.0 supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA across its full temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). This limit ensures safe power dissipation within the SOT-23 package's 306 mW rating at 25°C ambient, with appropriate derating applied at elevated temperatures per its 291.9°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Does LM4040DEM3-2.0 require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040DEM3-2.0 does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design guarantees stability with any capacitive load up to 10 nF, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count in space-constrained applications such as handheld test equipment and sensor nodes.
What is the temperature coefficient specification for LM4040DEM3-2.0?
The LM4040DEM3-2.0 has a maximum average temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C. This translates to a worst-case voltage drift of ±2.05 mV across the full extended temperature range, enabling predictable performance in automotive and industrial environments.
How is the LM4040DEM3-2.0 pinout configured in the SOT-23 package?
In the SOT-23 (DBZ) package, LM4040DEM3-2.0 has Cathode on Pin 1, Anode on Pin 2, and NC (no-connect) on Pin 3. Pin 3 must either float or be tied to Pin 2 (anode); it is not internally connected and serves no functional role in regulation.
What is the long-term stability of LM4040DEM3-2.0 after 1000 hours?
The LM4040DEM3-2.0 exhibits 120 ppm reverse breakdown voltage drift after 1000 hours of operation at 25°C and 100 μA bias current. This value reflects typical parametric shift under accelerated life testing and supports reliable calibration intervals in field-deployed instrumentation and metering systems.
