Product details
Overview
LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, delivering a fixed 4.096 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±1% initial tolerance (Grade D), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 68 μA minimum operating current. It operates across −40°C to +85°C and serves as a stable reference for analog-to-digital converters in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB pinout, LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB application, or LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its shunt topology, no-output-capacitor requirement, capacitive-load tolerance, low 35 μVrms noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), and compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts using through-hole TO-92 mounting.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve ±1% initial accuracy at 25°C and incorporates bandgap-derived curvature correction for stable voltage over temperature. Its shunt architecture requires an external series resistor to set operating current between 68 μA and 15 mA.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance (≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA), supports capacitive loads without oscillation, and maintains stability without an output capacitor-enabling direct integration into high-precision sensor signal chains and ADC bias networks where low quiescent current and minimal board area are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 4.096 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - sets precise bias point for 12-bit ADCs and sensor front-ends requiring binary-aligned references. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1% at 25°C (Grade D) - corresponds to ±41 mV absolute error, enabling calibration-free operation in mid-accuracy industrial measurement. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C - contributes ≤±8.2 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C, supporting stable performance in unregulated ambient environments. |
| Min Operating Current | 68 μA - allows ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems while maintaining regulation and noise performance. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - minimizes added uncertainty in high-resolution data acquisition paths without requiring additional filtering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA - ensures minimal load-induced voltage shift under varying sink current, critical for consistent ADC reference accuracy. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade I) - qualified for deployment in factory automation, energy metering, and process control equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB is housed in a 3-pin TO-92 package (body size 4.30 mm × 4.30 mm), with leads arranged bottom-view: Pin 1 = Cathode, Pin 2 = Anode, Pin 3 = NC (no connect, must float or tie to anode per TI recommendation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / reference output node | Connected to system ground via series resistor; voltage at this node is regulated at 4.096 V relative to anode. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground reference | Typically tied to system ground; defines the 0 V reference for the shunt output voltage. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected or bonded to anode to reduce EMI sensitivity in noisy industrial environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Enables direct connection to ADC reference inputs without stability-compromising bypass caps-reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Stable operation with up to 10 nF load capacitance eliminates need for isolation resistors in buffered reference designs. |
| Micropower operation | 68 μA minimum current enables use in always-on sensor nodes and energy-harvesting systems with sub-100 μA budget. |
| Low wideband noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) directly limits quantization uncertainty in 16-bit+ SAR ADC applications without post-filtering. |
| Zener-zap trimmed accuracy | Factory-trimmed at wafer level ensures ±1% initial tolerance without post-package calibration-reducing test time and 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040CIZ-4.1/NOPB | ±0.5% initial tolerance (Grade C), same 4.096 V, TO-92 package, identical min current (68 μA) | Suitable where tighter initial accuracy justifies higher cost; same thermal and noise specs | Select when system-level calibration is impractical and ±0.5% reference error is required at power-up. |
| TL4050C41IDBZR | 4.096 V, ±0.5% (Grade C), SOT-23 package, 75 μA min current, 40 μVrms noise | Surface-mount alternative with smaller footprint but higher min current and slightly higher noise | Choose for automated assembly and space-constrained PCBs where 0.5% tolerance suffices and TO-92 mounting is undesirable. |
Compared with LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB, LM4040CIZ-4.1/NOPB improves initial accuracy by 0.5% at equal cost and thermal behavior, while TL4050C41IDBZR trades through-hole robustness and lower min current for SMT compatibility and marginally higher noise-making each optimal for distinct layout and calibration strategies.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage and tolerance of LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB?
The LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB provides a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 4.096 V with ±1% initial tolerance at 25°C (Grade D). Over the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), its total tolerance remains within ±1.98% due to a maximum temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C. This specification is verified per TI's Electrical Characteristics table 5.15.
Does LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB does not require an output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load-including direct connection to ADC reference inputs-eliminating the need for external bypass capacitors. This is confirmed in the device description and "No output capacitor required" feature listing in the official datasheet.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB?
The LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 68 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation, as specified in Section 5.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Table 5.15 of the datasheet. This value increases slightly over temperature, reaching 70 μA at the extremes of the −40°C to +85°C range.
Which package type does LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB use?
LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB uses the TO-92 package (orderable suffix "Z"), a 3-pin through-hole plastic package with body dimensions of 4.30 mm × 4.30 mm. Pin configuration is bottom-view: Pin 1 = Cathode, Pin 2 = Anode, Pin 3 = NC (no connect), per Figure 4-2 and Table 4-1 in the datasheet.
Is LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB suitable for automotive applications?
LM4040DIZ-4.1/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the LM4040-N-Q1 variants (e.g., LM4040QDIZ-4.1/NOPB) carry AEC-Q100 Grade 1 or Grade 3 qualification. The "DIZ" suffix denotes the standard industrial-grade part; for automotive use, the Q1 variant must be selected to meet reliability and stress-test requirements.
