Product details
Overview
LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified precision shunt voltage reference delivering a stable 2.5 V output with ±0.1% initial tolerance (A grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 35 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It operates from 60 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to +125°C and requires no output capacitor-used in automotive sensor signal conditioning and high-accuracy ADC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade qualification, SOT-23-3 package compatibility, low dynamic impedance (0.8 Ω), thermal hysteresis (0.08%), and guaranteed stability with capacitive loads.
Technical Context
The LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB implements a trimmed Zener-based shunt architecture with bandgap temperature drift curvature correction, enabling tight voltage accuracy across extended temperature ranges. Its fuse-and-Zener-zap wafer-sort trimming ensures ±0.1% output tolerance at 25°C for A-grade units.
It functions as a two-terminal device: cathode accepts reverse current to regulate voltage at the anode node, with no ground reference required. The design tolerates arbitrary capacitive loading and eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors-simplifying layout in space-constrained automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal; fixed reverse breakdown voltage optimized for 12-bit+ ADC reference and sensor excitation. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.1% at 25°C (A grade); enables single-point calibration in production test without trimming. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C); ensures ≤±19 mV total drift over full automotive range. |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 35 μVrms; supports low-noise analog front-ends in field transmitters and data acquisition systems. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 15 mA; ultra-low minimum current allows operation in battery-backed or energy-harvesting circuits. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.8 Ω typical at 1 mA; maintains regulation under fast load transients in motor control feedback paths. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, supporting continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This rating is verified per automotive stress testing standards and applies to the full electrical specification-including ±0.1% initial tolerance and 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient-across the entire range.
Does the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load up to 10 μF, eliminating the need for external compensation and reducing bill-of-materials count in automotive and industrial designs.
What is the minimum operating current for the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB has a minimum operating current of 60 μA at 25°C, increasing to 65 μA over the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range. This ultra-low current enables use in always-on vehicle subsystems and battery-operated field instruments.
How is pin 3 (NC) used in the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB SOT-23 package?
In the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB SOT-23 package, pin 3 is a no-connect terminal. TI recommends leaving it floating or connecting it to the anode (pin 2) in high-EMI environments-such as near ignition coils or DC-DC converters-to reduce noise coupling into the reference node.
Is the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB compatible with standard SOT-23 footprints?
Yes, the LM4040QDEM3-2.5/NOPB uses the industry-standard DBZ (SOT-23-3) package with 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body dimensions and 0.95 mm lead pitch. It is mechanically and solder-reflow compatible with common SOT-23 land patterns defined in IPC-7351B.
