Product details
Overview
LM4040DEM3X-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, delivering a fixed 2.048 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±20 mV (±0.98%) initial tolerance at 25°C, 65 μA minimum operating current, and 150 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over −40°C to +125°C. It enables accurate ADC/DAC biasing and sensor excitation in space-constrained industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DEM3X-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DEM3X-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040DEM3X-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4040DEM3X-2.0/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, SOT-23 terminal mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for design-in and supply continuity planning.
Technical Context
The LM4040DEM3X-2.0/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimmed bandgap architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation, achieving stable 2.048 V output across wide current (65 μA–15 mA) and temperature (−40°C to +125°C) ranges. Its low 0.9 Ω dynamic impedance and 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) noise support high-resolution data acquisition without external capacitors.
Designed for shunt-mode operation, it requires only an anode-to-ground connection and cathode-to-load resistor configuration. The device tolerates capacitive loads and exhibits 0.08% thermal hysteresis after −40°C/125°C cycling-critical for repeatable calibration in test equipment and energy metering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage; enables precise 12-bit ADC full-scale reference with <±20 mV error at 25°C. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±20 mV (±0.98%) at 25°C for Grade D; ensures ≤±30 mV total error over industrial range without trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 150 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C; contributes ≤±15.6 mV drift across full range, supporting automotive under-hood use. |
| Min Operating Current | 65 μA at full temperature range; allows ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed sensors and IoT nodes. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.9 Ω typical at 1 mA; maintains <1 mV load regulation shift from 100 μA to 10 mA, simplifying current-source design. |
| Wideband Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz); avoids signal corruption in 16-bit SAR ADC front-ends and precision instrumentation. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hours; supports >10-year calibration validity in medical and industrial monitoring devices. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body, 1.0 mm height, gull-wing leads; rated for JEDEC J-STD-020D 260°C peak reflow (30 sec).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / output voltage node | Connects to load resistor and regulated output; sinks all current above minimum; defines reference voltage at this node. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground return | Must be connected to system ground; forms the reference potential for cathode voltage; floating violates operation. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to Pin 2 (anode) per TI specification-no signal routing allowed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Enables direct integration into compact PCB layouts without stability-compensation components or layout iterations. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps or long traces up to 10 nF without oscillation or settling degradation. |
| Fixed 2.048 V output | Matches standard 12-bit full-scale binary (212 = 4096) scaling; eliminates need for external resistor dividers in digital systems. |
| Extended temperature range | Rated for −40°C to +125°C operation; qualified for automotive engine control modules and industrial motor drives. |
| Low 35 μVrms noise | Preserves ENOB in 16-bit data converters; avoids post-processing filtering that adds latency and component count. |

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, 75 ppm/°C max TC, SOT-23-3; higher min current (75 μA) and lower noise (20 μVrms). | Better accuracy and noise for metrology; not qualified for extended temp range (−40°C to +125°C). | Select when tighter initial tolerance and lower noise outweigh extended temperature needs. |
| MAX6002EUR+T | 2.048 V, ±0.2% initial tolerance, 100 ppm/°C max TC, SOT-23-3; 60 μA min current, but only rated to +85°C. | Superior grade D tolerance match with lower power; lacks automotive/extended-temp qualification. | Choose for industrial control boards operating strictly within −40°C to +85°C ambient. |
