Product details
Overview
LM4040DIM3-5.0+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.000V 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 +85°C. It delivers stable reverse-breakdown voltage for analog-to-digital converter (ADC) reference, portable power monitoring, and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIM3-5.0+T datasheet, LM4040DIM3-5.0+T pinout, LM4040DIM3-5.0+T application, or LM4040DIM3-5.0+T equivalent, key selection criteria include shunt current capability, temperature drift over full industrial range, no-output-capacitor stability, low 80µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), and RoHS-compliant SC70 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIM3-5.0+T uses bandgap-based shunt regulation to maintain a precise 5.000V reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode-anode terminals without requiring external capacitors. Its internal laser-trimmed resistor network ensures fixed output voltage accuracy within ±50mV at +25°C and ±99mV over –40°C to +85°C.
It operates as a two-terminal device with no ground connection, sinking current from a source resistor to regulate voltage. Pin 3 is unconnected (N.C.), simplifying layout while maintaining thermal performance via SC70's 340°C/W θJA on four-layer board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V nominal; ±50mV tolerance at +25°C ensures ADC reference accuracy within 0.1% FS error budget. |
| Initial Accuracy | 1.0% (D-grade); guarantees worst-case deviation ≤±50mV at room temperature for cost-sensitive industrial designs. |
| Tempco | ±150ppm/°C max; contributes ≤±12.5mV drift over –40°C to +85°C, critical for temperature-stable sensor front-ends. |

Pinout & Package
LM4040DIM3-5.0+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 surface-mount package (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), measuring 1.8mm × 1.8mm × 0.9mm with RoHS-compliant finish. Pin 3 is no-connect (N.C.) and must remain unconnected or tied to pin 2 per datasheet requirement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+) | Cathode | Positive terminal; connects to regulated voltage node and source resistor; carries full shunt current. |
| 2 (–) | Anode | Negative terminal; connects to system ground or return path; defines reference potential. |
| 3 (N.C.) | No Connection | Must be left floating or shorted to pin 2; not internally bonded-ensures mechanical stability without electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70-3 footprint | Enables placement in <2mm² PCB area-ideal for wearables, IoT nodes, and modular sensor boards. |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates BOM cost and layout complexity while ensuring stability with any capacitive load up to 10µF. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps or LDO bypass networks without oscillation risk. |
| Low 80µVRMS noise | Reduces effective number of bits (ENOB) degradation in precision measurement circuits using 16-bit+ converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBVR | Adjustable 2.5V reference (requires two external resistors); 0.5% initial accuracy; 50ppm/°C tempco; SOT23-5 package. | Requires external feedback network; better tempco but lower output voltage flexibility limits direct 5V replacement. | Select when adjustable output or tighter drift is prioritized over fixed 5V simplicity and SC70 size. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 5.0V shunt reference; 0.2% initial accuracy; 75ppm/°C tempco; SC70-3 package; 100μA–10mA current range. | Higher accuracy and lower drift, but narrower current range limits use with high-voltage supplies. | Choose for metrology-grade applications where 5.0V stability <±10mV over temperature is mandatory. |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and MAX6008AEUR+T, LM4040DIM3-5.0+T offers the smallest footprint and widest shunt current range among 5V shunt references, making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and portable designs where ±50mV room-temperature tolerance is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LM4040DIM3-5.0+T?
The LM4040DIM3-5.0+T is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This I-grade temperature range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the Maxim datasheet. The device maintains its 1.0% initial accuracy and ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient across this full range, making it suitable for industrial control panels and outdoor instrumentation where ambient extremes occur.
Does LM4040DIM3-5.0+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040DIM3-5.0+T does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC input capacitors or LDO bypass networks up to 10µF. This eliminates BOM cost and layout constraints while maintaining regulation integrity-confirmed in the Applications Information and Typical Operating Characteristics sections of the datasheet.
What is the function of Pin 3 on LM4040DIM3-5.0+T?
Pin 3 on LM4040DIM3-5.0+T is designated N.C. (No Connection). Per the Pin Configuration diagram and Pin Description table, it must be left unconnected or tied to Pin 2 (anode). It is not internally bonded and serves only mechanical stabilization-connecting it elsewhere risks violating the device's thermal and electrical specifications.
How does the shunt current range of LM4040DIM3-5.0+T impact circuit design?
The LM4040DIM3-5.0+T operates over 60μA to 15mA shunt current, enabling flexible source resistor (RS) selection. At minimum current, it sustains regulation for ultra-low-power systems (e.g., coin-cell IoT sensors); at maximum, it supports high-voltage rails (e.g., 24V) with RS ≥ 1.33kΩ. Designers must ensure ISHUNT stays within this window under all load and supply conditions to avoid dropout or overstress.
What is the wideband noise specification of LM4040DIM3-5.0+T and why does it matter?
LM4040DIM3-5.0+T exhibits 80µVRMS wideband noise over 10Hz–10kHz, measured at 100µA shunt current. This low noise floor directly impacts high-resolution data acquisition-e.g., in 16-bit+ ADC systems-by limiting reference-induced quantization error. For a 5V full-scale ADC, this noise contributes <0.26 LSB RMS, preserving effective resolution without additional filtering stages.
