Product details
Overview
LM4040DIM3X-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 ±10 mV (±0.5%) initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It operates from 60 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +85°C and requires no output capacitor.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade temperature range, low quiescent current stability, capacitive load tolerance, and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification for automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB implements a trimmed Zener-based shunt reference architecture with bandgap curvature correction for stable voltage accuracy across temperature and current. Its fuse-and-Zener-zap wafer-sort trim ensures ±0.5% initial tolerance (Grade C) and supports operation without external stabilization capacitance.
It maintains dynamic impedance of ≤0.9 Ω at 1 mA and exhibits thermal hysteresis of only 0.08%, enabling high-precision analog signal conditioning in data acquisition and field transmitter circuits where long-term drift and load regulation must be tightly controlled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - provides exact 12-bit DAC full-scale reference when paired with 2.048 V ADCs. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±10 mV (±0.5%) at 25°C - enables single-point calibration in industrial sensor front-ends without trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C - ensures <±1.3 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C, critical for unheated outdoor energy infrastructure nodes. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power wake-up circuits and high-current buffer stages without redesign. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - preserves SNR in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems without additional filtering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤0.9 Ω at 1 mA - minimizes load-induced voltage shift in varying-current analog input modules. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body, surface-mount, JEDEC MO-178 compatible. Thermal resistance RθJA = 291.9°C/W (board-mounted).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | I/O | Shunt current path and output voltage node - connects to regulated rail; sinks all excess current to ground via series resistor. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | O | Ground reference terminal - must be connected to system ground; defines cathode-to-anode potential. |
| NC (Pin 3) | - | No-connect - left floating or tied to anode per EMI mitigation guidance; not internally bonded in SOT-23 variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables space-constrained PCB layouts in SC70/SOT-23 footprints without stability compromises. |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable with any output capacitance - eliminates need for RC snubbing in noisy industrial environments. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Validated for −40°C to +85°C automotive subsystems including body control and ADAS sensors. |
| Fuse-and-Zener-zap trim | Ensures production-grade ±0.5% initial accuracy without post-package calibration labor. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040CIM3-2.0/NOPB | Same SOT-23-3 package, identical 2.048 V output and ±0.5% tolerance, but rated for industrial grade only (−40°C to +85°C), not AEC-Q100. | Lacks automotive qualification - suitable for non-automotive industrial DAQ but not for vehicle cabin modules. | Select when AEC-Q100 is not required and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| MAX6002EUR+T | 2.048 V shunt reference in SOT-23-3; ±0.5% initial accuracy; higher 50 μVrms noise and 150 ppm/°C max tempco. | Higher noise and drift limit use in 16-bit+ metrology; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Choose only if TI supply chain constraints exist and performance degradation is acceptable. |
Compared with LM4040CIM3-2.0/NOPB, the LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB adds AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification and tighter thermal hysteresis (0.08% vs typical 0.1%), while MAX6002EUR+T trades off noise and tempco for alternate sourcing - making LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB optimal for automotive-qualified, low-drift industrial sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA across its full temperature range. This allows it to drive moderate-output-buffer stages or multiple parallel loads while maintaining specified voltage accuracy and thermal stability within the SOT-23 package's 306 mW power dissipation limit at 25°C ambient.
Does LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC reference inputs or long PCB traces - eliminating layout sensitivity and reducing BOM count in compact designs.
What temperature range is LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB rated for?
The LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB is rated for the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. It is also AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, meaning it meets automotive reliability and stress-test requirements for that same temperature span, though it is not rated for extended automotive Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) operation.
How does the pin configuration of LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB differ from SC70 variants?
The LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB uses the SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package with Cathode on Pin 1, Anode on Pin 2, and NC on Pin 3. In contrast, SC70 variants (e.g., LM4040DIM7-2.0) use a 5-pin DCK package where Pins 4 and 5 are NC - making the SOT-23 version pin-compatible only with other DBZ-marked LM4040 variants, not SC70 or TO-92.
What is the wideband noise specification for LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM3X-2.0/NOPB delivers 35 μVrms wideband noise over the 10 Hz to 10 kHz frequency range, measured at 100 μA operating current. This low noise floor directly supports high-resolution (≥16-bit) data acquisition systems without requiring additional low-pass filtering or noise-reduction circuitry.
