Product details
Overview
LM4041BIDBZR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, delivering a fixed 1.225 V output with ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 20 μVRMS wideband noise. It operates from 45 μA to 12 mA cathode current and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), making it ideal for high-accuracy analog sensing in portable power monitors.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041BIDBZR datasheet, LM4041BIDBZR pinout, LM4041BIDBZR application, or LM4041BIDBZR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and noise performance, and real-world design context for data-acquisition systems, battery-powered instrumentation, and precision supply monitoring circuits.
Technical Context
The LM4041BIDBZR implements a Zener-zap trimmed shunt reference architecture with low dynamic impedance (≤1.5 Ω at 1 mA) and stable operation across all capacitive loads-no output capacitor required. Its internal bandgap-derived core achieves tight output regulation without external components, enabling direct use in high-PSRR feedback paths.
As a fixed-output variant (1.225 V nominal), it omits the FB pin used in adjustable versions; its SOT-23-3 DBZ package uses Cathode (Pin 1), Anode (Pin 2), and NC (Pin 3), where Pin 3 must float or connect to Anode per EMI mitigation guidance. The device draws only 45 μA typical minimum cathode current, supporting ultra-low-power designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.225 V nominal; enables direct replacement of legacy 1.2 V references in ADC biasing and DAC reference chains. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B grade); ensures ≤2.46 mV absolute error in 12-bit system references without calibration. |
| Tempco | Max 100 ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C; contributes ≤12.25 mV drift across full industrial range. |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 20 μVRMS; supports <16-bit ENOB in precision SAR ADCs without external filtering. |
| Cathode Current Range | 45 μA (typ) to 12 mA; allows operation from nanoamp-level sensor biasing up to 10 mA load regulation. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.5 Ω at 1 mA; maintains <1.5 mV output shift under 1 mA transient load steps. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V; meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level robustness in industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.02 mm body, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU/SN lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current sink and output node | Connects to regulated voltage rail; carries total current (load + reference bias); reverse-biased during operation. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground reference | Must be connected to system ground; serves as return path for cathode current and defines output voltage relative to ground. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Must float or tie to Anode (Pin 2); prevents parasitic Schottky conduction in SOT-23 package and reduces EMI susceptibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBVR | Adjustable 2.495 V output; requires two external resistors; higher 500 μA min cathode current. | Not drop-in: needs redesign of feedback divider; unsuitable for fixed 1.225 V use cases or sub-100 μA systems. | Select when adjustable output >2.5 V and higher current budget exists; avoid for 1.225 V or micropower constraints. |
| MAX6008BAUT+T | Fixed 1.25 V output; ±0.2% tolerance; 75 ppm/°C max tempco; SC70-3 package; 60 μA min cathode current. | Same fixed-output role but 25 mV higher nominal voltage; tighter tempco but higher minimum current limits ultra-low-power use. | Prefer for 1.25 V systems needing lower drift; reject for 1.225 V matching or <60 μA operation. |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and MAX6008BAUT+T, LM4041BIDBZR uniquely delivers 1.225 V fixed output with 45 μA minimum current and guaranteed 100 ppm/°C drift-enabling direct integration into legacy 1.2 V reference designs while extending battery life beyond alternatives.

FAQ
What is the output voltage and tolerance of LM4041BIDBZR?
The LM4041BIDBZR provides a fixed 1.225 V nominal output voltage with ±0.2% initial tolerance at 25°C (B grade). This specification is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and the device maintains this accuracy without requiring external trimming or calibration. The LM4041BIDBZR datasheet confirms the tolerance applies specifically to the B-grade fixed-output variant in SOT-23-3 packaging.
Does LM4041BIDBZR require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4041BIDBZR does not require an output capacitor for stability. It is explicitly designed to remain stable with all capacitive loads-including zero capacitance-and no external capacitor is needed for proper operation. This feature simplifies PCB layout, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability in compact or high-reliability applications. The LM4041BIDBZR datasheet states this capability applies across its full operating current range (45 μA to 12 mA).
What is the minimum cathode current required for LM4041BIDBZR to regulate properly?
The LM4041BIDBZR requires a minimum cathode current of 45 μA (typical) to maintain regulation, with a maximum of 80 μA across the full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This ultra-low minimum current enables use in micropower applications such as battery-backed sensors and energy-harvesting systems. The LM4041BIDBZR electrical characteristics table specifies this value under "IZ,min" for the B-grade industrial-temperature version.
How is the LM4041BIDBZR pinout configured in the SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package?
In the SOT-23-3 DBZ package, LM4041BIDBZR has Cathode on Pin 1, Anode on Pin 2, and NC (no-connect) on Pin 3. Pin 3 must either float or be tied to Pin 2 (Anode) to prevent parasitic conduction and reduce EMI sensitivity. This pin configuration is distinct from adjustable versions and is confirmed in the LM4041BIDBZR mechanical drawings and pin-function tables in the official TI datasheet.
What is the temperature coefficient and noise performance of LM4041BIDBZR?
The LM4041BIDBZR has a maximum average temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C and delivers 20 μVRMS wideband noise (10 Hz to 10 kHz). These values are measured at 100 μA cathode current and 25°C, and both parameters are fully characterized and guaranteed for the B-grade fixed-output variant. The LM4041BIDBZR datasheet lists these figures in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 under "αVZ" and "eN", respectively.
