Product details
Overview
LM4040DIX3-5.0 from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.000V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, featuring ±1.0% initial accuracy, ±15ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C, 54µA minimum operating current, and 80µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz). It delivers stable regulation for analog-to-digital converters and portable power monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIX3-5.0 datasheet, LM4040DIX3-5.0 pinout, LM4040DIX3-5.0 application, or LM4040DIX3-5.0 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, validated SC70-3 terminal mapping, confirmed shunt-current-dependent voltage stability behavior, and real-world design constraints for battery-powered instrumentation and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIX3-5.0 implements a bandgap-based shunt reference architecture with laser-trimmed resistors for factory-set 5.000V reverse breakdown voltage. Its BiCMOS process enables low dynamic impedance (0.5–1.5Ω) across 1mA–15mA shunt current while maintaining ±15ppm/°C tempco over full industrial temperature range.
No external capacitor is required for stability-its output remains regulated under any capacitive load due to inherent frequency compensation. The device operates as a two-terminal element: cathode (Pin 1) and anode (Pin 2), with Pin 3 designated N.C. and electrically isolated per datasheet.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V nominal reverse breakdown voltage at 100µA, with ±50mV (±1.0%) tolerance at +25°C |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.0% at +25°C - defines maximum absolute error before temperature or current variation |
| Tempco | ±15ppm/°C - ensures ≤±0.975mV drift over –40°C to +85°C (ΔT = 125°C) |
| Shunt Current Range | 54µA to 15mA - minimum current required for regulation; max current before thermal derating |

| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm after 1000 hours - quantifies aging-induced voltage drift in mission-critical systems |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DIX3-5.0 uses the SC70-3 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), 50% smaller than SOT23-3. Pin 3 is unconnected (N.C.) and must be left floating or tied to Pin 2 per datasheet directive.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | Adjustable 2.5V–36V shunt reference; 0.5% initial accuracy; requires external resistor divider for 5.0V output | Higher quiescent current (80µA min); less suitable for ultra-low-power battery designs | Choose when programmable output or higher voltage capability (>5.0V) is needed |
| REF3050AIDBZR | 5.0V series reference; 0.2% initial accuracy; 50ppm/°C tempco; requires input-to-output headroom | Series topology demands ≥100mV input margin; incompatible with direct shunt replacement | Choose when low-output-impedance sourcing is required and supply headroom permits series architecture |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and REF3050AIDBZR, LM4040DIX3-5.0 offers smallest footprint, lowest quiescent current, and true two-terminal simplicity-but lacks adjustability or series-source drive strength, making it optimal for fixed-voltage, space- and power-constrained shunt configurations.

FAQ
What is the minimum shunt current required for LM4040DIX3-5.0 to regulate properly?
The LM4040DIX3-5.0 requires a minimum shunt current of 54µA to maintain regulation at all temperatures within its –40°C to +85°C operating range. Below this threshold, output voltage deviates beyond specification limits. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for LM4040_I_3-5.0 under "Minimum Operating Current" with IRMIN = 54µA (min) for the D grade.
Can LM4040DIX3-5.0 be used with large output capacitance, such as 10µF ceramic decoupling caps?
Yes, LM4040DIX3-5.0 is explicitly designed to remain stable with any capacitive load-including 10µF ceramic capacitors-without requiring external series resistance or damping components. This is stated in both the General Description ("no output capacitors required") and Applications Information sections, and verified by stability testing across load capacitance ranges in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Is Pin 3 of LM4040DIX3-5.0 internally connected or should it be left floating?
Pin 3 of LM4040DIX3-5.0 is designated N.C. (No Connection) and is electrically isolated from the die. Per the Pin Description section and Top View diagram, it must be left floating or connected to Pin 2 (anode); it must never be connected to any other net, including ground or supply rails, as doing so may compromise regulation or reliability.
How does the temperature coefficient of LM4040DIX3-5.0 affect its output voltage across –40°C to +85°C?
LM4040DIX3-5.0 has a guaranteed temperature coefficient of ±15ppm/°C. Over the full –40°C to +85°C range (ΔT = 125°C), this results in a maximum voltage drift of ±1.875mV (±15ppm × 5.000V × 125). This drift is additive to the ±50mV initial tolerance, yielding a worst-case total error of ±51.875mV at temperature extremes.
What is the wideband noise specification for LM4040DIX3-5.0, and how is it measured?
LM4040DIX3-5.0 exhibits 80µVRMS wideband noise over the 10Hz to 10kHz frequency band, measured at 100µA shunt current. This value is specified in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-LM4040_I_3-5.0 table under "Wideband Noise (eN)" and directly impacts high-resolution ADC reference performance and low-level analog signal integrity.
