Product details
Overview
LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23 package, delivering a fixed 2.048 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±20 mV (±0.98%) initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It operates from 65 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +125°C and requires no output capacitor-used for ADC/DAC biasing, sensor excitation, and automotive analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance, and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts for design-in decisions under extended temperature and low-noise constraints.
Technical Context
The LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB implements a Zener-zap trimmed bandgap-shunt architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation, enabling stable 2.048 V reference output across −40°C to +125°C without external capacitors. Its low dynamic impedance (≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA) and capacitive-load tolerance simplify layout in space-constrained industrial and automotive modules.
Designed for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, it supports extended-temperature operation with verified long-term stability (120 ppm after 1000 hrs) and thermal hysteresis of ≤0.08%-critical for field transmitters and energy infrastructure metering where calibration integrity must persist across thermal cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage-enables precise 12-bit ADC full-scale alignment with binary-friendly scaling (e.g., 2.048 V = 1 LSB × 212). |
| Initial Tolerance | ±20 mV (±0.98%) at 25°C-supports high-accuracy analog front-ends without post-manufacturing trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C max-limits voltage drift to ±10.2 mV over −40°C to +125°C ambient, ensuring <0.5% total error in extended-range systems. |
| Operating Current | 65 μA min to 15 mA max-allows ultra-low-power sensor nodes (<100 μA sleep mode) and robust current-sink capability for noisy power rails. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz)-preserves SNR in 16-bit data acquisition without additional filtering. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | ≤0.08%-ensures repeatable voltage output after thermal cycling between −40°C and +125°C, critical for field-deployed instrumentation. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs-guarantees minimal calibration drift in sealed automotive ECUs and smart grid sensors. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package: 3-pin surface-mount, 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size, JEDEC MO-178 compatible. Thermal resistance RθJA = 291.9°C/W (board-mounted).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Shunt current input / reference output node | Connects to regulated supply rail; sinks all load and error current-must be decoupled locally when driving ADC reference inputs. |
| 2 (Anode) | Ground reference terminal | Typically tied to system ground; provides return path for cathode current-floating anode invalidates regulation. |
| 3 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to pin 2 per TI layout guidance to suppress EMI-induced errors near transformers or SMPS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures ±20 mV initial accuracy without laser trimming-reduces manufacturing cost while maintaining AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance. |
| Capacitive-load tolerance | Stable operation with >1 μF ceramic output capacitance-eliminates need for series isolation resistor in noisy environments like motor drives. |
| No external capacitor required | Enables direct connection to SAR ADC reference pins without stability-compensation networks-reduces BOM count and PCB area in compact modules. |
| Extended temperature range | Full specification over −40°C to +125°C ambient-validated for under-hood automotive applications and outdoor energy infrastructure deployments. |
| Low quiescent current | 65 μA minimum operating current-supports battery-powered field transmitters with multi-year operational life on coin cells. |

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% initial tolerance (±10.2 mV), 75 ppm/°C max tempco, SOT-23 package. | Lower accuracy grade; not AEC-Q100 qualified-suitable for industrial but not automotive Grade 1 designs. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs Grade 1 qualification and ±0.5% tolerance suffices for 10-bit systems. |
| MAX6002EUR+T | 2.048 V, ±0.2% initial tolerance (±4.1 mV), 50 ppm/°C max tempco, SOT-23 package, 60 μA min current. | Higher initial accuracy and lower tempco-but rated only to +85°C ambient, not +125°C. | Choose for high-precision non-automotive applications requiring tighter tolerance and lower drift, with relaxed temperature range. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB is specified for operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. This extended range is validated across all electrical parameters-including reverse breakdown voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient, and long-term stability-making it suitable for under-hood automotive and outdoor industrial deployments where junction temperatures may exceed +105°C.
Does the LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor due to its internally compensated shunt architecture. It remains stable with any capacitive load up to at least 1 μF, eliminating the need for series isolation resistors or stability networks-simplifying layout in compact analog signal chains and reducing BOM count.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for regulation in the LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB requires a minimum cathode current of 65 μA at 25°C and 68 μA across the full −40°C to +125°C range to maintain regulation within specification. This low minimum current enables use in ultra-low-power applications such as battery-backed field transmitters and wireless sensor nodes.
How does the LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB achieve its 2.048 V output voltage?
The LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB achieves its precise 2.048 V output via Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort, combined with bandgap reference temperature drift curvature correction. This process ensures the device meets its ±20 mV initial tolerance and ≤100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient without post-package adjustment or external components.
Is the LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4040 variants in SOT-23?
Yes, all LM4040-N variants in the SOT-23 (DBZ) package-including LM4040DEM3-2.0/NOPB, LM4040AIM3-2.5/NOPB, and LM4040CIM3-5.0/NOPB-share identical pinout: Pin 1 = Cathode, Pin 2 = Anode, Pin 3 = NC. This allows drop-in replacement across voltage grades and tolerance grades within the same package footprint.
