Product details
Overview
LM4040DIX3-5.0+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.000V two-terminal shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, featuring 1.0% initial accuracy, ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +85°C, 60μA–15mA operating current range, and 0.5–1.5Ω dynamic impedance. It serves as a stable reference in battery-powered instrumentation and low-power analog signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIX3-5.0+T datasheet, LM4040DIX3-5.0+T pinout, LM4040DIX3-5.0+T application, or LM4040DIX3-5.0+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reverse breakdown voltage tolerance (±50mV at +25°C), no-output-capacitor stability, ultra-small SC70 footprint, and compatibility with capacitive loads in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIX3-5.0+T uses bandgap-based shunt regulation to maintain a precise 5.000V reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode-anode terminals. Its internal laser-trimmed resistor network ensures factory-set accuracy without external calibration.
It operates as a two-terminal device requiring only a series source resistor to regulate against varying supply voltages and load currents. Stability is maintained across 10Hz–10kHz bandwidth with 80µVRMS wideband noise and tolerates any output capacitance without oscillation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, ±50mV tolerance at +25°C (1.0% grade) |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.0% over temperature, enabling use in cost-sensitive systems where tight voltage references are required but highest precision is not critical |
| Temp Coefficient | ±150ppm/°C max over –40°C to +85°C, defining worst-case drift of ±12.5mV across full range |
| Operating Current | 60μA minimum to 15mA maximum shunt current, supporting micropower standby and moderate-load regulation |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.5Ω min / 1.5Ω max at 1mA, ensuring <15mV output variation under 10mA load transients |
| Wideband Noise | 80µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz), suitable for ADC reference and low-noise sensor biasing |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm after 1000 hours, indicating predictable aging behavior for field-deployed equipment |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DIX3-5.0+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SC70 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), 50% smaller than SOT23 equivalents. Pin 3 is unconnected (N.C.) and must remain floating or tied to pin 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+) | Cathode | Reverse-bias input terminal; connects to higher-potential node (e.g., VIN via RS) |
| 2 (–) | Anode | Reference ground terminal; output voltage appears between pins 1 and 2 |
| 3 (N.C.) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or shorted to pin 2 per datasheet directive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70-3 package | 1.8mm × 1.8mm footprint enables placement in dense portable PCB layouts where board area is constrained |
| No output capacitor required | Guaranteed stability with any capacitive load eliminates BOM cost and layout risk associated with external compensation |
| Wide shunt current range | 60μA–15mA operation supports both micropower sleep modes and active regulation without redesign |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable under all output capacitance values, simplifying design for systems with variable decoupling or long traces |
| –40°C to +85°C operation | Industrial-grade temperature range ensures reliability in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and automotive cabin modules |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed reverse breakdown voltage tolerance for LM4040DIX3-5.0+T at +25°C?
The LM4040DIX3-5.0+T has a guaranteed reverse breakdown voltage tolerance of ±50mV at +25°C, corresponding to its 1.0% initial accuracy grade. This means the actual measured voltage will fall within 4.950V to 5.050V under standard test conditions, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 5.000V variant.
Does LM4040DIX3-5.0+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040DIX3-5.0+T does not require an external output capacitor. The device is designed to remain stable with any capacitive load, including zero capacitance, eliminating the need for external compensation components and reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB area.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040DIX3-5.0+T, and why is it important?
The minimum operating current for LM4040DIX3-5.0+T is 60μA, below which the device cannot maintain regulation. This value defines the lowest shunt current needed to sustain 5.000V output accuracy; maintaining ≥60μA ensures stable reference performance across temperature and load variations in low-power designs.
Can LM4040DIX3-5.0+T be used in automotive applications?
LM4040DIX3-5.0+T is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and is RoHS-compliant, making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive cabin electronics such as infotainment interfaces and HVAC controls. For under-hood or AEC-Q100 qualified applications, the /V suffix variants (e.g., LM4040DIX3-5.0/V+T) must be selected instead.
What is the function of Pin 3 on LM4040DIX3-5.0+T, and how should it be handled?
Pin 3 on LM4040DIX3-5.0+T is marked N.C. (No Connection) and is internally unconnected. Per the datasheet, it must be left floating or tied directly to Pin 2 (anode); connecting it to any other net may compromise device functionality or reliability.
