Product details
Overview
LM4040DIM7-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SC70-5 package, delivering a stable 5.0 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±1.0% initial tolerance (Grade D) at 25°C, 74 μA minimum operating current, and 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient - used for ADC/DAC biasing, sensor excitation, and portable instrumentation power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIM7-5.0 datasheet, LM4040DIM7-5.0 pinout, LM4040DIM7-5.0 application, or LM4040DIM7-5.0 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, validated SC70-5 terminal mapping, confirmed industrial-grade (−40°C to +85°C) operation, and two production-ready alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIM7-5.0 implements a Zener-based shunt reference architecture with bandgap temperature drift curvature correction and fuse/Zener-zap trimming at wafer sort to achieve ±1.0% initial accuracy. It operates across 74 μA–15 mA reverse current without requiring output capacitance.
Its low dynamic impedance (≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA/120 Hz), 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), and thermal hysteresis of 0.08% enable high-precision analog signal chains in battery-powered and space-constrained systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - sets precise bias point for analog front-ends and data converters. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1.0% at 25°C (Grade D) - ensures ≤±50 mV absolute error before temperature or load effects. |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C - contributes ≤±6.5 mV drift across full industrial range. |
| Min Operating Current | 74 μA - enables ultra-low-power operation in energy-harvesting and sleep-mode circuits. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA - maintains voltage stability under fast load transients in precision measurement paths. |
| Wideband Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - supports 16-bit+ resolution in low-noise data acquisition systems. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs - guarantees <0.06% output drift over first year of operation. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DIM7-5.0 is housed in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. Pin 1 is Anode (ground reference), Pin 3 is Cathode (shunt current/output node), Pins 2, 4, and 5 are no-connect terminals per TI datasheet SNOS633K Rev K.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Ground reference terminal; must be connected to system ground for proper shunt regulation. |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Shunt current input and regulated 5.0 V output node; connects to feedback resistor and load. |
| Pins 2, 4, 5 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to ground per TI layout guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Enables direct integration into compact, low-BOM-count designs without stability compensation. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Stable operation with >1 μF bypass caps - simplifies noise filtering in mixed-signal systems. |
| SC70-5 package | 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm footprint - saves >60% board area vs. TO-92 and supports fine-pitch routing. |
| Industrial temperature range | −40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for factory automation, test equipment, and outdoor sensors. |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures Grade D (±1.0%) accuracy at wafer level - eliminates post-package calibration cost. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040CIM7-5.0 | ±0.5% initial tolerance (Grade C), same SC70-5 package and 5.0 V output. | Better accuracy for metrology-grade systems; higher cost and tighter supply chain constraints. | Select when <±25 mV absolute error is required at 25°C and long-term drift budget allows Grade C's 100 ppm/°C spec. |
| TL4050C50IDBZR | ±0.5% tolerance, 5.0 V, SOT-23-3 package; lower 50 μA min current but higher 200 ppm/°C tempco. | Smaller 3-pin footprint but reduced thermal stability - suitable for cost-sensitive consumer IoT nodes. | Choose for space-constrained designs where 50 μA sleep current outweighs need for <100 ppm/°C performance. |
Compared with LM4040DIM7-5.0, LM4040CIM7-5.0 improves initial accuracy by 0.5% at the expense of tighter procurement controls, while TL4050C50IDBZR reduces board area and quiescent current but sacrifices thermal stability - making LM4040DIM7-5.0 optimal for industrial applications balancing accuracy, size, and temperature robustness.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4040DIM7-5.0?
The LM4040DIM7-5.0 is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This range is fully specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (Section 6.16 of SNOS633K Rev K) and applies to all Grade D variants in SC70 packaging. The device maintains its ±1.0% initial tolerance and 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient across this full range.
Does LM4040DIM7-5.0 require an external capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040DIM7-5.0 does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load, including >1 μF bypass capacitors commonly used in precision analog circuits. This eliminates the need for additional components and layout area while maintaining regulation integrity under transient conditions.
What are the no-connect pins on LM4040DIM7-5.0 and how should they be handled?
LM4040DIM7-5.0 has three no-connect pins: Pin 2, Pin 4, and Pin 5 in the SC70-5 (DCK) package. Per TI datasheet SNOS633K Rev K, these pins are internally unconnected and must remain floating or be tied to ground - never driven or connected to active circuitry. Grounding them improves ESD robustness without affecting regulation.
How does the minimum operating current of LM4040DIM7-5.0 compare to other 5-V shunt references?
LM4040DIM7-5.0 specifies a minimum operating current of 74 μA at 25°C, which is optimized for ultra-low-power applications. This is higher than TL4050C50IDBZR (50 μA) but lower than many discrete Zener solutions (>200 μA). The 74 μA value ensures stable regulation while supporting battery-operated devices with multi-year runtime requirements.
Is LM4040DIM7-5.0 compliant with AEC-Q100 for automotive use?
LM4040DIM7-5.0 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the LM4040-N-Q1 family (e.g., LM4040QAIM3-5.0) carries AEC-Q100 Grade 1 or Grade 3 certification. LM4040DIM7-5.0 is rated for industrial temperature range only and lacks the automotive qualification testing, traceability, and failure rate reporting required for under-hood or safety-critical vehicle systems.
