Product details
Overview
LM4041BIDCKR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SC-70-5 package, delivering a fixed 1.225 V output with ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 20 μVRMS wideband noise, and stable operation from 45 μA to 12 mA cathode current. It serves as a low-drift, low-noise reference in high-resolution ADC biasing and portable power-supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041BIDCKR datasheet, LM4041BIDCKR pinout, LM4041BIDCKR application, or LM4041BIDCKR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SC-70 pin mapping, industrial-grade (–40°C to +85°C) performance data, and validated alternative options for precision analog design.
Technical Context
The LM4041BIDCKR implements a Zener-based shunt reference architecture trimmed via Zener-zap during wafer sort to achieve B-grade accuracy. Its feedback (FB) pin enables adjustable configurations, though LM4041BIDCKR is the fixed 1.225 V variant-pin 5 is NC and must float or connect to anode per TI guidance.
It operates without output capacitance, maintains low dynamic impedance (≤1.5 Ω at 1 mA), and delivers stable regulation across capacitive loads up to 1 μF. The SC-70 package supports space-constrained PCB layouts while sustaining full-spec performance over –40°C to +85°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.225 V nominal; ±0.2% (±2.4 mV) max tolerance at 25°C ensures accurate ADC reference scaling. |
| Tempco | ≤100 ppm/°C max over –40°C to +85°C; guarantees <±0.85 mV drift across full industrial range. |
| Noise | 20 μVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz); minimizes quantization error in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
| Cathode Current Range | 45 μA (typ.) to 12 mA; supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current precision regulators. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.5 Ω at 1 mA; maintains output stability under fast load transients in closed-loop feedback paths. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade); qualified for embedded control, metering, and automotive body electronics. |
| Package | SC-70-5 (DCK); 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm footprint with 0.65 mm pitch-ideal for dense analog signal chains. |
Pinout & Package
LM4041BIDCKR uses the 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package. Pin 5 is no-connect (NC) and must remain floating or tied to anode (Pin 2) per TI ESD and noise mitigation guidance. The device is a fixed-output shunt reference; FB functionality applies only to adjustable variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Ground reference node; connects to system GND; internal Zener cathode return path. |
| 2 | Cathode | Shunt current sink and output node; supplies regulated 1.225 V to external divider or load. |
| 3 | NC | No-connect; must float or tie to Pin 1 (Anode) to suppress EMI coupling in noisy environments. |
| 4 | NC | No-connect; electrically isolated; no internal connection-leave unconnected on PCB. |
| 5 | NC | No-connect; per TI documentation, must float or connect to Pin 1 (Anode) for ESD robustness. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.225 V output | Eliminates external resistor network; reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity in compact designs. |
| 0.2% initial tolerance (B grade) | Enables single-point calibration in production test; avoids trimming circuitry in cost-sensitive instrumentation. |
| No output capacitor required | Reduces component count and board area; simplifies layout for battery-powered devices with tight space constraints. |
| Stable with all capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input caps or LDO bypass networks without phase-margin risk. |
| Low 20 μVRMS noise | Preserves ENOB in 16-bit SAR ADCs; critical for precision weigh scales and medical front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4041C12IDCKR | ±0.5% initial tolerance, same SC-70-5 package and 1.225 V output | Lower accuracy; suitable where cost reduction outweighs calibration overhead | Select when BOM cost is prioritized over factory calibration time and test fixture complexity |
| REF3012AIDBZR | SOT-23-3, 1.2 V output, ±0.2% tolerance, but 50 μVRMS noise and 50 ppm/°C tempco | Higher noise and wider tempco limit use in high-resolution metrology | Choose only if SC-70 footprint is not required and board space allows SOT-23-3 placement |
Compared with LM4041C12IDCKR, LM4041BIDCKR improves initial accuracy by 0.3% and maintains identical noise and thermal performance; versus REF3012AIDBZR, it delivers 2.5× lower noise and tighter tempco in a smaller SC-70 footprint-critical for next-gen portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the output voltage and tolerance of LM4041BIDCKR?
The LM4041BIDCKR provides a fixed 1.225 V nominal output voltage with a maximum initial tolerance of ±0.2% (±2.4 mV) at 25°C, corresponding to its B-grade specification. This tolerance holds across the full industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, with guaranteed drift ≤100 ppm/°C. The LM4041BIDCKR does not support adjustable output-it is strictly a fixed-voltage shunt reference.
Does LM4041BIDCKR require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4041BIDCKR does not require an output capacitor for stability. It is explicitly designed to remain stable with all capacitive loads-including direct connection to ADC input capacitors or LDO bypass networks-without oscillation or phase-margin degradation. Adding a capacitor is optional and used only for additional noise filtering, not for loop compensation.
What are the SC-70 pin functions for LM4041BIDCKR?
LM4041BIDCKR uses the 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package: Pin 1 = Anode (ground), Pin 2 = Cathode (1.225 V output), Pins 3 and 4 = NC (no-connect), Pin 5 = NC (must float or connect to Pin 1 per TI ESD guidance). Unlike adjustable variants, LM4041BIDCKR has no functional FB pin-Pins 3–5 are unused and electrically isolated.
How does LM4041BIDCKR compare to LM4041AIDCKR in accuracy?
LM4041BIDCKR offers ±0.2% initial tolerance, while LM4041AIDCKR provides tighter ±0.1% tolerance. Both share identical SC-70-5 packaging, 1.225 V output, 100 ppm/°C max tempco, and 20 μVRMS noise. The A-grade version is selected when absolute reference accuracy is critical-e.g., metrology calibration standards-whereas B-grade balances cost and performance for general-purpose precision analog systems.
Is LM4041BIDCKR suitable for automotive applications?
LM4041BIDCKR is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and qualified for industrial use, but it is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For non-safety-critical automotive body electronics (e.g., interior lighting controls, seat position sensors), it is commonly deployed. However, for powertrain, ADAS, or safety-relevant subsystems, TI's automotive-grade LM4041Q variants (e.g., LM4041B12IDCKRQ) with –40°C to +125°C rating and AEC-Q200 compliance should be used instead of LM4041BIDCKR.
