Product details
Overview
LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SC70-5 package, delivering a fixed 5.0 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance (Grade C), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 74 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +85°C. It serves as a compact, capacitor-free reference for analog-to-digital converters and sensor signal conditioning in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB application, or LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-5 footprint compatibility, 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), no-output-capacitor requirement, and verified performance across automotive-grade temperature ranges when used in AEC-Q100-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB implements a trimmed Zener-based shunt architecture with bandgap temperature drift curvature correction, enabling stable 5.0 V output despite wide current (74 μA–15 mA) and temperature (−40°C to +85°C) variations. Its low dynamic impedance (≤0.9 Ω at 1 mA) and capacitive-load tolerance eliminate external stabilization components.
Manufactured using fuse-and-Zener-zap wafer-sort trimming, the device achieves ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C and maintains ≤±29 mV total tolerance over full industrial temperature range. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 0.08%, supporting high-repeatability measurement systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, fixed and non-adjustable - sets precise bias or reference level without external resistors. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% at 25°C (Grade C) - corresponds to ±25 mV absolute error, suitable for 12-bit ADC references requiring <0.1% system error budget. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤±43 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C, enabling stable operation in unregulated environments. |
| Operating Current | 74 μA min to 15 mA max - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and robust industrial interfaces with wide supply margin. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - low enough for 16-bit SAR ADCs without additional filtering in precision data acquisition. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤0.9 Ω at 1 mA - ensures minimal load-regulation error (<1 mV) under dynamic current changes in real-time control loops. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB uses the 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm), with pins 4 and 5 designated as no-connect (NC). The active terminals are Cathode (Pin 3), Anode (Pin 1), and an auxiliary terminal (Pin 2) that must float or connect to the Anode for EMI mitigation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Ground reference node | Common return path; must be connected to system ground or low-impedance reference plane to maintain voltage accuracy. |
| Auxiliary (Pin 2) | EMI suppression terminal | Not electrically functional; TI recommends connecting to Anode in noisy environments to reduce high-frequency coupling into the reference node. |
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Shunt current sink / output node | Delivers regulated 5.0 V when reverse-biased; connects to series resistor and load - functions as the active reference output point. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must remain unpopulated or left floating on PCB - no routing or soldering required. |
| NC (Pin 5) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; identical handling as Pin 4 - no electrical function or thermal role. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-output-capacitor operation | Eliminates need for external stabilization capacitor - reduces BOM count and board space in space-constrained modules like field transmitters. |
| Capacitive-load tolerance | Stable with any value of capacitive load - enables direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long traces without oscillation risk. |
| Wide operating current range | 74 μA to 15 mA - supports both battery-powered sensors (μA mode) and high-speed data loggers (mA mode) with single-part logistics. |
| Zener-zap trimmed accuracy | Production-trimmed at wafer level for guaranteed ±0.5% initial tolerance - avoids post-assembly calibration in volume manufacturing. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 0.08% - ensures repeatable voltage output after thermal cycling, critical for metrology-grade instrumentation and calibration equipment. |

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 2.5 V reference (2.5–36 V via resistors); higher 22 Ω dynamic impedance; ±1% initial tolerance. | Requires two external resistors; unsuitable for fixed-5V systems without added components and layout area. | Choose TL431ACDBVR only if adjustable output or higher current drive (>100 mA) is required - not a drop-in replacement. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 5.0 V; SOT-23-3 package; ±0.2% initial tolerance; 75 ppm/°C tempco; 20 μVrms noise. | Higher accuracy and lower noise, but rated only for −40°C to +85°C industrial grade - lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. | Prefer MAX6008AEUR+T for lab-grade instrumentation where noise matters most; LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB preferred for automotive-qualified production. |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and MAX6008AEUR+T, LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification, SC70-5 footprint, no-output-capacitor operation, and guaranteed ±0.5% tolerance - making it optimal for space-constrained, automotive-eligible industrial sensing nodes where reliability and layout simplicity are prioritized over ultra-low noise.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB supports a maximum operating current of 15 mA, verified per Section 5.3 of the official datasheet. This limit applies across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and ensures stable regulation without exceeding thermal limits in the SC70-5 package. Exceeding 15 mA risks permanent damage due to power dissipation beyond the 241 mW absolute maximum rating.
Does LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design provides inherent stability across all capacitive loads, as confirmed in the Features section and Figure 8-1 of the datasheet. This eliminates BOM cost and PCB area typically needed for compensation networks in traditional shunt references.
What is the temperature coefficient specification for LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB?
The LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB has a maximum average temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C, specified in Section 5.9 Electrical Characteristics. This translates to ≤±43 mV total drift across the full range, enabling predictable performance in unregulated enclosures and outdoor industrial deployments.
Is LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the LM4040-N-Q1 variants (e.g., LM4040QAIM3-5.0) carry AEC-Q100 Grade 1 or Grade 3 certification. This part is the industrial-grade LM4040-N series, rated for −40°C to +85°C operation but without automotive stress testing or qualification documentation.
What is the purpose of Pin 2 on the LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB SC70 package?
Pin 2 on LM4040DIM7-5.0/NOPB is an auxiliary terminal with no internal electrical connection. As stated in Table 4-1 and Figure 4-3 of the datasheet, it must either float or be connected to Pin 1 (Anode) - particularly in high-EMI environments near transformers or switching regulators - to reduce noise coupling into the reference node.
