Product details
Overview
LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, delivering a fixed 5.0 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±1.0% initial tolerance (Grade D), 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 in analog signal chains for data acquisition and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 datasheet, LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 pinout, LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 application, or LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-92 mechanical compatibility, no-output-capacitor requirement, low 35 μVrms noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), and verified performance across industrial temperature range without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 implements a trimmed Zener-based shunt architecture with fuse-and-Zener-zap voltage calibration at wafer sort, achieving Grade D (±1.0%) accuracy at 25°C. Its bandgap-derived temperature drift curvature correction enables stable 5.0 V output across −40°C to +85°C.
Designed for direct replacement of legacy references, it tolerates capacitive loads and requires no output capacitor-unlike series references-while maintaining dynamic impedance below 1.1 Ω at 1 mA and wide operating current range (74 μA–15 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, fixed and factory-trimmed |
| Initial Tolerance | ±25 mV (±1.0%) at 25°C - defines baseline accuracy before thermal drift |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C - ensures ≤±5.2 mV total drift over −40°C to +85°C |
| Operating Current | 74 μA min to 15 mA max - supports ultra-low-power and high-current biasing |
| Output Noise | 35 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz) - critical for high-resolution ADC reference stability |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA - minimizes load-induced voltage variation |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 0.08% - limits voltage shift after thermal cycling between −40°C and +125°C |
Pinout & Package
LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 uses the 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) | I/O | Shunt current path and output voltage node; connects to regulated rail via series resistor |
| Anode (Pin 2) | O | Reference ground node; must be connected to system ground or low-impedance return |
| NC (Pin 3) | - | No internal connection; leave floating or tie to Anode (Pin 2) for EMI mitigation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Enables space-constrained PCB layouts and eliminates capacitor aging/reliability concerns |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Stable under >100 nF load capacitance - simplifies filtering without oscillation risk |
| Micropower operation | 74 μA minimum operating current allows use in battery-powered field transmitters |
| Zener-zap voltage trim | Ensures ±1.0% initial accuracy without post-package trimming or calibration |
| Industrial temp range | Guaranteed 5.0 V operation from −40°C to +85°C - suitable for uncontrolled environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1?
The LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per its Grade D specification and applies across all electrical parameters in the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table. It does not support extended −40°C to +125°C operation, which is reserved for LM4040-N-Q1 automotive variants.
Does LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 require an output capacitor?
No, the LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 does not require an output capacitor. Its internal design provides inherent stability with capacitive loads up to at least 100 nF, eliminating the need for external stabilization-unlike many series references. This reduces BOM count and improves reliability in space-constrained designs.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 to regulate at 5.0 V?
The LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 requires a minimum cathode current of 74 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation at its nominal 5.0 V output. This value increases slightly over temperature, reaching 70 μA at the full −40°C to +85°C range per Electrical Characteristics Table 5.9.
How is the pinout configured on LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1?
The LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 uses a 3-pin TO-92 package with bottom-view orientation: Pin 1 is Cathode (output node), Pin 2 is Anode (ground reference), and Pin 3 is NC (no connect). Per TI's guidance, Pin 3 must either float or be tied to Pin 2 to reduce EMI susceptibility in noisy environments.
Is LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 AEC-Q200 qualified?
No, LM4040DIZ-5.0/LFT1 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It belongs to the LM4040-N industrial-grade family. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification, TI offers the LM4040-N-Q1 series (e.g., LM4040DQ50IDBZR), which includes extended temperature grade (−40°C to +125°C) and stress-tested reliability.
