Product details
Overview
LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, delivering a fixed 8.2 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±1% initial tolerance (Grade D), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 91 μA to 15 mA supply current. It serves as a compact, capacitor-free reference for analog-to-digital converters and sensor signal conditioning in industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8.2 V output accuracy over −40°C to +85°C, low 35 μVrms noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), no-output-capacitor requirement, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±1% initial voltage tolerance at 25°C and integrates bandgap-derived temperature drift curvature correction. Its low dynamic impedance (≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA) ensures minimal output voltage shift under varying load currents.
Designed as a two-terminal shunt device, it operates without an external stabilization capacitor and tolerates arbitrary capacitive loads-enabling direct connection to ADC reference inputs or op-amp feedback networks without stability concerns across its full 91 μA–15 mA operating range.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431CDBZR | Adjustable 2.495 V reference; requires two external resistors to set 8.2 V; higher 0.2% initial tolerance at 25°C | Not pin-compatible; needs redesign of feedback network; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification | Select when adjustable output or higher current drive (>100 mA) is required; avoid for space-constrained or automotive use |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage and tolerance of LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB provides a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 8.2 V with ±1% initial tolerance at 25°C (Grade D). Over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), total voltage error remains within ±8.2 V × 1.98% = ±162 mV, including both initial tolerance and temperature drift contributions.
Does LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability even with arbitrary capacitive loads-enabling direct connection to ADC reference pins or op-amp inputs without risk of oscillation or settling degradation.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 91 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation. This value increases slightly at temperature extremes, reaching up to 100 μA over the full −40°C to +85°C range, as specified in Section 5.3 of the TI datasheet.
Is LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified (−40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for non-critical automotive applications such as cabin electronics, body control modules, and sensor interfaces-not for safety-critical powertrain or ADAS functions requiring Grade 0 or 1.
What package type and pin configuration does LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB use?
The LM4040DIM3-8.2/NOPB uses the SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package with three terminals: Cathode (Pin 1), Anode (Pin 2), and NC (Pin 3). Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must either float or be tied to Pin 2 per TI's EMI mitigation recommendation.
