Product details
Overview
LM4040DEM3-3.0-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3.000V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, featuring 1.0% initial accuracy, ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 60μA to 15mA operating current range, and guaranteed operation from −40°C to +125°C. It delivers stable reverse-breakdown voltage for analog-to-digital converter (ADC) reference, portable battery-powered instrumentation, and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DEM3-3.0-T datasheet, LM4040DEM3-3.0-T pinout, LM4040DEM3-3.0-T application, or LM4040DEM3-3.0-T equivalent, key selection criteria include shunt current capability, temperature coefficient over extended range, no-output-capacitor stability, low noise (45µVRMS), and SC70 footprint compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040DEM3-3.0-T uses bandgap-based shunt regulation to maintain a precise 3.000V reverse breakdown voltage across its terminals when biased with 60μA–15mA cathode-to-anode current. Its internal laser-trimmed resistor network ensures factory-set accuracy without external calibration.
It operates without an output capacitor and remains stable under any capacitive load, eliminating layout sensitivity. The device's dynamic impedance is ≤1.1Ω at 1mA, enabling tight regulation despite load or supply transients within its −40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Breakdown Voltage | 3.000V ±30mV at +25°C (D-grade tolerance); supports 12-bit ADC reference with <0.3% full-scale error |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.0% (D grade); enables single-point calibration elimination in cost-sensitive industrial sensors |
| Temperature Coefficient | ±150ppm/°C max over −40°C to +125°C; contributes ≤±18.5mV drift across full range |
| Operating Current Range | 60μA to 15mA; allows use with high-value source resistors in ultra-low-power IoT nodes |
| Wideband Noise | 45µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); suitable for 16-bit SAR ADCs requiring sub-LSB reference stability |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1Ω at 1mA; maintains <1mV output shift during 1mA load steps |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm after 1000h; ensures <0.36mV drift over 1 year in sealed industrial enclosures |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DEM3-3.0-T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), 50% smaller than SOT23 equivalents. Pin 3 is unconnected (N.C.) and must remain floating or tied to pin 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+) | Cathode | Reverse-bias input terminal; connects to higher-potential node (e.g., VDD via source resistor) |
| 2 (−) | Anode | Reference ground terminal; ties to system ground or ADC reference low |
| 3 (N.C.) | No Connection | Must be left unconnected or shorted to pin 2; no internal bond wire or function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70-3 footprint | 1.8mm × 1.8mm area saves >50% PCB real estate vs. SOT23 in wearables and medical patches |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates BOM cost and layout risk from capacitor ESR/aging; stable with 0–10µF loads |
| Extended temperature range | −40°C to +125°C operation enables deployment in automotive engine control modules and outdoor industrial PLCs |
| Low 45µVRMS noise | Supports high-resolution data acquisition without external filtering, reducing component count |
| Shunt current scalability | 60μA minimum current allows microamp-level standby operation in battery-backed systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C30IDBZR | 3.0V, ±0.5% initial accuracy, ±50ppm/°C tempco, SOT23-3, 60μA–15mA range | Better accuracy/tempco but limited to −40°C to +125°C only in C-grade; no SC70 option | Select for tighter tolerance where SC70 size is not mandatory and budget allows premium grade |
| REF3030AIDBZR | 3.0V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, ±50ppm/°C tempco, SOT23-3, 25μA–25mA range, 22µVRMS noise | Lower noise and wider current range but requires 1µF output capacitor for stability | Choose when ultra-low noise is critical and board space permits capacitor placement |
Compared with TL4050C30IDBZR and REF3030AIDBZR, the LM4040DEM3-3.0-T trades initial accuracy and tempco for ultra-compact SC70 packaging and capacitor-free operation-ideal for miniaturized, cost-optimized industrial and portable systems where ±1.0% tolerance is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LM4040DEM3-3.0-T?
The LM4040DEM3-3.0-T is specified and guaranteed over −40°C to +125°C. This extended range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 13) and Absolute Maximum Ratings section, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications where ambient temperatures exceed +85°C.
Does LM4040DEM3-3.0-T require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4040DEM3-3.0-T does not require an external output capacitor and remains stable with any capacitive load, including 0–10µF. This is explicitly stated in the General Description and Applications Information sections, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count compared to series references like REF3030.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040DEM3-3.0-T?
The minimum operating current for LM4040DEM3-3.0-T is 60μA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 3.000V version (page 4). This value ensures stable regulation and is critical for designing low-quiescent-current source resistor networks in battery-powered devices.
How does the pin configuration of LM4040DEM3-3.0-T differ from standard three-terminal references?
The LM4040DEM3-3.0-T has a two-terminal functional configuration: pin 1 is cathode (+), pin 2 is anode (−), and pin 3 is N.C. (no connection). Unlike three-terminal series references, it functions as a shunt device-current flows through it to ground-and pin 3 must remain unconnected or tied to pin 2 per the Pin Configuration diagram (page 11).
What is the wideband noise specification for LM4040DEM3-3.0-T?
The wideband noise of LM4040DEM3-3.0-T is 45µVRMS measured from 10Hz to 10kHz at 100µA operating current, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 3.000V version (page 4). This performance supports 16-bit ADC applications without additional filtering.
