Product details
Overview
LM4040DIM3-2.0/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 (±1.0%) 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 +85°C and requires no output capacitor.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-noise, space-efficient reference for analog signal conditioning, sensor excitation, and data acquisition systems where tight voltage accuracy and thermal stability are critical.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve its ±1.0% (Grade D) initial accuracy. Its bandgap-corrected temperature drift curvature ensures stable output across industrial temperature range without external compensation.
Designed as a two-terminal shunt reference, it sinks current through the cathode while maintaining precise reverse breakdown voltage at the anode–cathode junction. It tolerates capacitive loads and exhibits low dynamic impedance (≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA), enabling stable regulation even with varying load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - provides exact binary-scaled reference for 12-bit ADCs and DACs. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±20 mV (±1.0%) at 25°C - Grade D specification enables cost-optimized precision without A-grade premium. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C - ensures ≤±0.13% voltage shift over −40°C to +85°C, critical for field transmitter accuracy. |
| Operating Current | 65 μA to 15 mA - ultra-low minimum current supports battery-powered sensors; high max current allows driving heavier loads. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - low noise preserves SNR in precision analog front-ends and instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% - minimal voltage memory effect after thermal cycling improves long-term measurement repeatability. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package: 3-pin surface-mount, 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size, JEDEC MO-178AA compliant. Thermal resistance RθJA = 291.9°C/W (board mounted).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | I/O | Shunt current input and regulated output node - connects to supply rail via series resistor; voltage referenced to anode. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | O | Ground reference terminal - must be connected to system ground or low-impedance return path for stable regulation. |
| NC (Pin 3) | - | No-connect terminal - left floating or tied to anode per TI recommendation for EMI-sensitive layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Enables single-component reference design in space-constrained PCBs without stability risk. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps or filtering networks without oscillation. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures production-grade ±1.0% accuracy without post-package calibration or sorting. |
| Low dynamic impedance | ≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA - minimizes load-induced voltage droop in varying-current applications. |
| Wide operating current range | 65 μA min current enables micro-power operation; 15 mA max supports active circuit biasing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA. This rating applies across its full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and ensures stable regulation without thermal runaway when properly heatsinked on standard FR-4 PCBs. Exceeding 15 mA risks exceeding absolute maximum power dissipation limits in the SOT-23 package.
Does LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal design eliminates the need for stabilization capacitance while maintaining regulation integrity even with capacitive loads - a key advantage for compact, low-component-count designs like portable sensors and modular I/O systems.
What is the temperature coefficient specification for LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB has a maximum average temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C. This means its output voltage drift remains within ±0.13% across the full industrial temperature range, supporting accurate measurements in uncontrolled environments such as outdoor energy monitors or factory-floor transmitters.
Can LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB be used in automotive applications?
The LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive applications, TI offers the LM4040-N-Q1 series (e.g., LM4040QDIM3-2.0/NOPB), which meets AEC-Q100 Grade 3 requirements. Using LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB in automotive contexts requires full system-level qualification by the end customer.
What does the 'D' grade signify in LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB?
The 'D' in LM4040DIM3-2.0/NOPB denotes the initial reverse breakdown voltage tolerance grade: ±1.0% (±20 mV) at 25°C. This grade balances cost and precision for applications where moderate accuracy suffices - such as non-critical sensor interfaces or mid-tier industrial controls - without requiring the tighter ±0.5% (C-grade) or ±0.1% (A-grade) specifications.
