Product details
Overview
LM4040DIM3-2.1+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 2.048V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in SOT23-3 package, featuring ±1.0% initial accuracy, ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 60μA–15mA operating current range, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C. It serves as a stable reference in portable battery-powered systems where space and low quiescent current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIM3-2.1+T datasheet, LM4040DIM3-2.1+T pinout, LM4040DIM3-2.1+T application, or LM4040DIM3-2.1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse breakdown voltage tolerance over temperature, dynamic impedance at 1mA, minimum operating current (70μA max), noise performance (28μVRMS), and compatibility with capacitive loads without external stabilization.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIM3-2.1+T implements a bandgap-based shunt reference architecture, functioning like a precision zener diode with cathode-anode reverse bias. Its output voltage is stabilized via internal laser-trimmed resistors and operates without requiring an external capacitor, even under varying capacitive load conditions.
It delivers fixed 2.048V reverse breakdown voltage with grade-D accuracy (±1.0% at +25°C) and extended temperature coefficient (±150ppm/°C at 1mA), supporting stable regulation across industrial ambient ranges while maintaining low dynamic impedance (≤1.1Ω at 1mA, 120Hz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048V nominal; ±20mV tolerance at +25°C ensures predictable ADC/DAC reference point in low-voltage systems. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.0% (Grade D); guarantees worst-case deviation ≤±20.5mV at room temperature for calibration-critical designs. |
| Temp Coefficient | ±150ppm/°C (max at 1mA); contributes ≤±9.8mV drift over –40°C to +85°C, enabling stable performance in uncontrolled environments. |
| Operating Current | 60μA to 15mA; supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes (e.g., 60μA sleep mode) and higher-current analog front-ends. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1Ω at 1mA, 120Hz; minimizes output voltage perturbation during load transients in precision feedback loops. |
| Output Noise | 28μVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); low enough for 12-bit+ data acquisition without additional filtering. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm (1000h); predicts <0.012% output drift over 1 year, reducing recalibration needs in field-deployed equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DIM3-2.1+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23 surface-mount package (2.92mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+) | Anode (positive terminal) | Connects to system ground or low-impedance return path; forms cathode-to-anode reverse bias path when used as shunt reference. |
| 2 (–) | Cathode (negative terminal) | Reference output node; sinks regulated current to maintain 2.048V across external load/resistor network. |
| 3 (N.C.) | No connection | Must remain unconnected or tied to pin 2; no internal functionality-leaving it floating avoids parasitic coupling or ESD risks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables direct integration into space-constrained layouts without stability-compromising bypass components. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps or LDO feedback networks without oscillation risk. |
| Wide shunt current range | 60μA–15mA operation allows use in both micropower IoT sensors and higher-current analog subsystems. |
| Laser-trimmed accuracy | Ensures consistent 2.048V output across production lots without post-assembly trimming. |
| Stable over –40°C to +85°C | Validated performance across commercial/industrial temperature range without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431IDBZR | Adjustable 1.24V–18V output; requires two external resistors; 2% initial accuracy; 90ppm/°C tempco. | Used where programmable reference voltage is needed; not drop-in for fixed 2.048V designs. | Select TLVH431IDBZR only if voltage adjustability and higher current drive (up to 100mA) outweigh fixed-voltage simplicity. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 2.048V; 0.2% initial accuracy; 50ppm/°C tempco; SC70-3 package; 100μA–20mA operating range. | Higher accuracy and lower tempco suit metrology-grade applications; smaller SC70 footprint increases layout density. | Choose MAX6008AEUR+T when ±0.2% accuracy and ±50ppm/°C stability are mandatory, and board area permits SC70 placement. |
Compared with LM4040DIM3-2.1+T, TLVH431IDBZR offers flexibility at the cost of accuracy and component count, while MAX6008AEUR+T provides superior precision and thermal stability in a smaller package-but at higher unit cost and reduced current headroom.

FAQ
What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage specification for LM4040DIM3-2.1+T?
The LM4040DIM3-2.1+T is specified for a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 2.048V at +25°C, with a Grade-D tolerance of ±20mV (±1.0%) at room temperature. Over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, total tolerance expands to ±1.98% due to temperature coefficient effects, yielding ±40.5mV worst-case deviation from nominal.
Does LM4040DIM3-2.1+T require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040DIM3-2.1+T does not require an external capacitor for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC input capacitors or LDO feedback nodes-eliminating layout constraints and bill-of-materials overhead.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040DIM3-2.1+T, and how does it vary with temperature?
The LM4040DIM3-2.1+T specifies a maximum minimum operating current (IRMIN) of 70μA across its –40°C to +85°C range. At +25°C, typical IRMIN is 45μA; this value increases slightly at temperature extremes but remains ≤70μA, ensuring reliable turn-on in low-power microcontroller wake-up circuits.
Can LM4040DIM3-2.1+T be used in automotive applications?
The LM4040DIM3-2.1+T is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive applications requiring qualification, select LM4040DEM3-2.1+T (–40°C to +125°C, AEC-Q100 Grade 1) or LM4040DEM3-2.1/V+T variants explicitly marked for automotive use.
What is the function of pin 3 on LM4040DIM3-2.1+T, and how should it be handled?
Pin 3 of the LM4040DIM3-2.1+T is designated N.C. (no connection) and must either be left unconnected or tied directly to pin 2 (cathode). It has no internal connection; connecting it elsewhere may introduce leakage paths or ESD susceptibility, compromising reference accuracy and long-term reliability.
