Product details
Overview
LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, delivering a fixed 3.0 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.2% initial tolerance (Grade D), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35 μVRMS wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It operates from 62 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +125°C, enabling stable biasing in automotive sensor signal chains and industrial data acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB application, or LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its Grade D accuracy at extended temperature, no-output-capacitor requirement, capacitive-load tolerance, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.2% initial voltage accuracy at 25°C. Its bandgap-derived curvature-compensated Zener core ensures low thermal drift across −40°C to +125°C operation.
It functions as a two-terminal shunt reference: cathode accepts input current and delivers regulated 3.0 V at cathode-to-anode potential; anode is grounded. Dynamic impedance is 1.1 Ω at 1 mA, supporting stable regulation under varying load currents from 62 μA to 15 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, fixed and non-adjustable - sets precise bias point for ADC references or op-amp feedback networks. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (Grade D) - corresponds to ±6 mV absolute error, suitable for 12-bit system accuracy without calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤±30 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C span, critical for automotive under-hood stability. |
| Operating Current | 62 μA min to 15 mA max - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current analog stages with single-part flexibility. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz) - enables high-resolution data acquisition without added filtering overhead. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 1.1 Ω at 1 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under dynamic load transients in closed-loop systems. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Input/Output node | Accepts shunt current; regulated 3.0 V appears between Cathode and Anode - connects to supply rail or divider network input. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground | Must be connected to system ground; defines 0 V reference for output voltage - floating anode disables regulation. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB - tieing to Anode may reduce EMI susceptibility per TI recommendation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Stable operation without output bypass capacitor - reduces BOM count and board area in compact designs. |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Remains stable with any value of capacitive load - eliminates risk of oscillation when driving ADC sample capacitors or long traces. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for automotive applications from −40°C to +125°C ambient - meets reliability requirements for engine control and ADAS modules. |
| Low micropower operation | 62 μA minimum operating current - enables battery-powered field transmitters with multi-year runtime. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040CIM3-3.0/NOPB | ±0.5% initial tolerance (Grade C), same 3.0 V, SOT-23-3 package | Lower accuracy; suited for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 12-bit system accuracy suffices | Select when tighter tolerance is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over long-term stability. |
| TLVH431IDBVR | Adjustable 1.24–18 V output via resistor divider; 0.5% initial tolerance; 3-pin SOT-23 | Requires external resistors; higher quiescent current (80 μA min); not AEC-Q100 qualified | Choose for flexible voltage setting in non-automotive applications where design reuse across multiple reference voltages is needed. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature (AEC-Q100 Grade 1). This extended range is validated per automotive reliability standards and supports under-hood and industrial control cabinet deployments where thermal stress is significant. The device maintains specified electrical characteristics-including ±0.2% initial tolerance and ≤100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient-across this full span.
Does the LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal architecture is designed to remain stable with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces. This eliminates a common BOM item and simplifies layout-especially valuable in space-constrained applications like automotive ECUs and handheld test equipment.
What is the minimum operating current for the LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB at 3.0 V output?
The LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 62 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation at its nominal 3.0 V output. This value increases slightly over temperature, reaching 68 μA at −40°C to +125°C extremes. This micropower capability enables use in battery-operated field transmitters and low-power IoT sensor nodes where supply current budgets are tightly constrained.
Is the LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4040 variants in SOT-23-3?
Yes, the LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB shares identical SOT-23-3 (DBZ) pinout and mechanical footprint with all other LM4040-N and LM4040-N-Q1 variants offered in that package-including LM4040AIM3-3.0/NOPB, LM4040CIM3-3.0/NOPB, and LM4040QDEM3-3.0/NOPB. Pin 1 is Cathode, Pin 2 is Anode, and Pin 3 is NC. This allows drop-in replacement across accuracy grades without PCB redesign.
How does the LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB achieve its low temperature coefficient?
The LM4040DEM3-3.0/NOPB achieves ≤100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient through bandgap reference temperature drift curvature correction integrated into its Zener-zap trimmed shunt core. This compensation counteracts the inherent parabolic drift of Zener diodes, resulting in linearized voltage vs. temperature behavior across −40°C to +125°C. Measured thermal hysteresis is only 0.08%, further ensuring repeatability after thermal cycling.
