Product details

Overview

LM4040DIX3-2.1+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 2.048V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, featuring 1.0% initial accuracy, ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 60μA–15mA operating current range, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C. It serves as a stable reference in space-constrained battery-powered systems requiring low quiescent current and no external capacitor.

For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIX3-2.1+T datasheet, LM4040DIX3-2.1+T pinout, LM4040DIX3-2.1+T application, or LM4040DIX3-2.1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse breakdown voltage tolerance over temperature, dynamic impedance at 1mA, wideband noise (28µVRMS), minimum operating current (70µA max), and SC70 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.

Technical Context

The LM4040DIX3-2.1+T implements a laser-trimmed bandgap reference core with fixed 2.048V reverse breakdown voltage. Its two-terminal architecture eliminates need for external biasing components, and it maintains regulation without output capacitance across any load capacitance.

It operates as a shunt device-sinking current through its cathode-to-anode path to hold a precise voltage across external load. The N.C. pin (Pin 3) must be left unconnected or tied to cathode (Pin 2), confirming strict two-terminal functional behavior despite three-pin SC70 packaging.

FAQ

What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage specification for LM4040DIX3-2.1+T at +25°C?

The LM4040DIX3-2.1+T has a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 2.048V at +25°C, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±20mV (±1.0%). Per the datasheet Electrical Characteristics table for the D-grade 2.048V version, the min/max values are 2.028V and 2.068V respectively under standard test conditions.

Can LM4040DIX3-2.1+T operate without an external output capacitor?

Yes, the LM4040DIX3-2.1+T is explicitly designed to be stable without any external output capacitor and tolerates any capacitive load. This eliminates the need for stability-compensating components and simplifies layout in compact designs where board space is constrained.

What is the minimum shunt current required for LM4040DIX3-2.1+T to maintain regulation?

The LM4040DIX3-2.1+T requires a minimum shunt current of 60μA to maintain regulation across its specified temperature range. The D-grade variant guarantees this down to 70μA maximum at worst-case conditions, ensuring reliable startup and regulation in ultra-low-power applications.

Is Pin 3 of LM4040DIX3-2.1+T functional or should it be left unconnected?

Pin 3 of the LM4040DIX3-2.1+T is marked N.C. (No Connection) and has no internal connection. It must be left unconnected or tied directly to Pin 2 (anode). Connecting Pin 3 to any other net may compromise device performance or reliability.

What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal derating for LM4040DIX3-2.1+T in SC70-3 package?

The LM4040DIX3-2.1+T has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C. In the SC70-3 package, it features a thermal resistance θJA of 340.4°C/W on a four-layer board. Power dissipation must be limited to 235mW at +70°C ambient, derating by 2.90mW/°C above that temperature to prevent exceeding the junction limit.
