Product details
Overview
LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, delivering 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage with ±20 mV (±0.25%) initial tolerance at 25°C, 91 μA minimum operating current, and 150 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient across −40°C to +125°C. It serves as a stable voltage reference in portable data acquisition and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial/extended temperature operation, low dynamic impedance (≤1.1 Ω), wide 91 μA–15 mA operating current range, no external capacitor requirement, and compatibility with capacitive loads.
Technical Context
The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB uses Zener-zap trimming during wafer sort to achieve tight initial accuracy and incorporates bandgap-derived curvature correction for improved temperature stability. Its two-terminal shunt architecture operates by sinking current through the cathode to maintain a precise reverse breakdown voltage at the anode–cathode junction.
It functions without output capacitance and remains stable under capacitive loading up to 10 nF, enabling direct integration into ADC reference inputs, DAC bias networks, and overvoltage monitor thresholds where low quiescent current and minimal board space are critical.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Nominal Voltage | 8.192 V - precisely matches binary-scaled 213 mV for 13-bit system calibration |
| Initial Tolerance | ±20 mV (±0.25%) at 25°C - enables high-accuracy analog front-end design without post-calibration trimming |
| Temp Coefficient | 150 ppm/°C max - ensures ≤±12.3 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C ambient range |
| Operating Current | 91 μA to 15 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current reference buffering |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1 Ω at 1 mA - minimizes load-induced voltage error in precision feedback loops |

Pinout & Package
LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB uses the 3-pin TO-92 package (LP), with body size 4.30 mm × 4.30 mm. Pin 1 is Anode (grounded), Pin 2 is Cathode (shunt current input/output node), and Pin 3 is NC (must be left floating or connected to Pin 1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground; establishes voltage reference point for cathode output |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Shunt current terminal | Sinks variable current to regulate 8.192 V across anode–cathode; serves as precision voltage output node |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected or tied to Pin 1; no internal connection or function |

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage of the LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB provides a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 8.192 V, selected to align with binary-scaled voltage standards for 13-bit digital systems. This value is specified at 100 μA test current and is trimmed during wafer sort to ensure ±20 mV (±0.25%) initial accuracy at 25°C. The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB maintains this voltage across its full 91 μA–15 mA operating current range and −40°C to +125°C temperature span.
Does the LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal design eliminates the need for stabilization components while remaining stable with capacitive loads up to 10 nF. This simplifies layout in compact systems like handheld meters and sensor nodes. The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB achieves this via advanced Zener-zap trimming and dynamic impedance optimization, making it ideal for direct connection to ADC reference inputs without added passive components.
What is the minimum operating current for the LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB has a minimum operating current of 91 μA at 25°C, increasing slightly over temperature to maintain regulation. This low start-up current enables use in ultra-low-power applications such as battery-backed memory supervisors and wake-on-event sensor interfaces. The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB remains functional across its full 91 μA–15 mA range, supporting both micropower standby modes and higher-current reference buffering without performance degradation.
Is the LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C and is manufactured in TI's qualified automotive-grade process. While not AEC-Q100 certified itself (the Q1 variant is), its extended temperature specification, TO-92 mechanical robustness, and 120 ppm long-term stability make it widely deployed in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems such as cabin climate controllers, battery monitoring modules, and infotainment power management. The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB meets the thermal and reliability demands of under-dash and engine-bay-adjacent placements.
How does the LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB compare to the LM4040CIZ-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB (D-grade) offers ±20 mV (±0.25%) initial tolerance at 25°C and 150 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, whereas the C-grade LM4040CIZ-8.2/NOPB provides ±10 mV (±0.12%) tolerance but same 150 ppm/°C tempco. Both share identical TO-92 packaging, 91 μA min current, and 35 μVrms noise. The LM4040DIZ-8.2/NOPB trades tighter initial accuracy for broader availability and lower unit cost-making it preferred for applications where system-level calibration compensates for initial offset, such as programmable logic controller analog I/O modules.
