Product details
Overview
LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SC70-5 package, delivering a stable 2.5V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance (Grade 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-used in analog input modules, field transmitters, and energy infrastructure for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SC70-5 terminal mapping, automotive-grade thermal hysteresis (0.08%), and two validated alternative parts for industrial and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C and incorporates bandgap-derived curvature correction for low drift across temperature. Its low dynamic impedance (0.3–0.9 Ω) and capacitive-load tolerance enable stable operation without external compensation.
Designed as a two-terminal shunt device, it functions by sinking current through its cathode to maintain 2.5V across an external load/resistor network. The SC70-5 package includes two NC pins (4 and 5) that must float or connect to anode for EMI mitigation-critical in noisy industrial or automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage at 100 μA - sets precise bias point for ADC references and sensor signal chains. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% (Grade C) at 25°C - enables single-point calibration in cost-sensitive industrial systems without trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C (max) over −40°C to +85°C - ensures ≤±1.3 mV drift across full industrial range, critical for long-term measurement stability. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current analog front-ends without redesign. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - minimizes added uncertainty in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% - guarantees repeatable voltage after thermal cycling between −40°C and +125°C, essential for field-deployed equipment. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3–0.9 Ω at 1 mA - maintains regulation under fast load transients in closed-loop power monitoring circuits. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB is packaged in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) case measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm. Pins 4 and 5 are no-connect (NC); pin 1 is Anode (ground reference), pin 3 is Cathode (shunt current/output node), and pin 2 is tied internally to Anode per TI's recommended floating-or-connected configuration for EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Ground reference node; must be connected to system ground or low-impedance return path. |
| Pin 2 | NC (Anode Tie) | Internally connected to Anode; leave floating or tie to Pin 1 to reduce EMI susceptibility in noisy environments. |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Shunt current sink and output voltage node; connects to resistor divider or load requiring regulated 2.5V reference. |
| Pins 4 & 5 | No Connect | Unbonded; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables direct integration into space-constrained PCB layouts without stability-compensation components. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input capacitors or filtering networks up to 10 nF without oscillation. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures ±0.5% initial accuracy at wafer level, eliminating post-package trimming and reducing BOM cost. |
| Bandgap temperature curvature correction | Reduces parabolic drift error, achieving flat 100 ppm/°C max TC across −40°C to +85°C. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Validated for automotive applications operating from −40°C to +85°C ambient, including body control modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C25IDBZR | Same 2.5V output and ±0.5% grade; higher 150 ppm/°C max TC; SC70-3 package (no NC pins). | Lacks NC pins for EMI mitigation; not AEC-Q100 qualified; suited for non-automotive industrial use only. | Select when board space is tighter and EMI is minimal; verify thermal drift meets system spec. |
| MAX6008BAUT25+T | 2.5V output, ±0.2% initial tolerance (Grade A); 75 ppm/°C max TC; SOT-23-3 package; 20 μVrms noise. | Higher accuracy and lower noise, but rated only for −40°C to +85°C (non-automotive); no AEC-Q100 certification. | Choose for high-resolution data loggers where 0.2% tolerance and ultra-low noise outweigh automotive compliance needs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB is specified for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C (Grade I). It is also AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, meaning it has been tested and validated for automotive use within that same ambient range. Extended temperature versions exist for −40°C to +125°C, but LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB itself is rated to +85°C maximum ambient.
Does LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability across its full operating current range (60 μA to 15 mA) and with any capacitive load-enabling direct connection to ADC inputs or RC filters without risk of oscillation.
What is the purpose of pins 4 and 5 on the LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB SC70-5 package?
Pins 4 and 5 on the LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB are no-connect (NC) terminals. They are unbonded and must remain unconnected on the PCB. TI explicitly states these pins serve no electrical function and connecting them may introduce parasitic coupling or compromise EMI performance.
How does the LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB achieve its low thermal hysteresis of 0.08%?
The LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB achieves 0.08% thermal hysteresis through proprietary die-level process control and Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort, combined with bandgap-derived curvature correction. This minimizes voltage shift after thermal cycling between −40°C and +125°C-verified per JEDEC JESD22-A104 test conditions.
Is LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4040 variants in SC70?
Yes, all LM4040 SC70 variants-including LM4040AIM7-2.5/NOPB (Grade A), LM4040CIM7-2.5/NOPB (Grade C), and LM4040DIM7-2.5/NOPB (Grade D)-share identical SC70-5 (DCK) pinout and footprint. Only the initial tolerance, temperature coefficient, and qualification grade differ; no PCB layout change is needed when upgrading or downgrading grades.
