Product details
Overview
LM4041BIX3-1.2+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision two-terminal shunt voltage reference with 1.225V fixed reverse breakdown voltage, 0.2% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60µA–12mA operating current range. It serves as a stable voltage reference in space-constrained portable power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041BIX3-1.2+T datasheet, LM4041BIX3-1.2+T pinout, LM4041BIX3-1.2+T application, or LM4041BIX3-1.2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, SC70-3 package footprint, no output capacitor requirement, and low 20µVRMS noise (10Hz–10kHz).
Technical Context
The LM4041BIX3-1.2+T implements a bandgap-based shunt reference architecture, maintaining a precise 1.225V across its terminals when reverse-biased between 60µA and 12mA. Its internal BiCMOS process enables stable regulation without external capacitance and tolerates any capacitive load.
It operates over -40°C to +85°C with ±2.4mV reverse voltage tolerance at +25°C and ±10.4mV overtemperature tolerance (max ΔT = +65°C). Dynamic impedance is ≤1.5Ω at 1mA/120Hz, ensuring minimal voltage shift under load transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.225V fixed reverse breakdown voltage - sets precise reference level for ADCs, DACs, and comparators. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% (±2.4mV at +25°C) - enables high-resolution measurement without calibration. |
| Temp Coefficient | 100ppm/°C max - ensures ≤±0.85% total voltage drift over -40°C to +85°C. |
| Operating Current | 60µA to 12mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current analog front-ends. |
| Output Noise | 20µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz) - minimizes added noise in precision signal chains. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.5Ω at 1mA - maintains stable voltage under fast load transients. |
| Package | SC70-3 (1.8mm × 1.8mm) - reduces PCB area by 50% vs. SOT23-3 equivalents. |
Pinout & Package
LM4041BIX3-1.2+T uses the 3-pin SC70 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 3 is unconnected (N.C.) and must be left floating or tied to Pin 2 per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+) | Positive terminal (anode) | Reference output node - connects to load or feedback network. |
| 2 (−) | Negative terminal (cathode) | Current sink path - ties to ground or current-setting resistor. |
| 3 (N.C.) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected or shorted to Pin 2 - not used in circuit function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70-3 footprint | 1.8mm × 1.8mm package - saves >50% board area vs. SOT23-3 alternatives. |
| No output capacitor required | Stable with any capacitive load - eliminates BOM cost and layout constraints. |
| Laser-trimmed precision | 0.2% initial accuracy achieved via on-die laser trimming - avoids post-assembly calibration. |
| Low wideband noise | 20µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz) - preserves SNR in high-resolution data acquisition systems. |
| Wide shunt current range | 60µA–12mA operation - supports both micropower sensors and higher-current analog stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | 2.5V adjustable output (via resistors); 0.5% initial accuracy; 100ppm/°C tempco; SOT23-3 package. | Requires external resistors to set reference voltage; not pin-compatible; larger minimum cathode current (80µA). | Select when 2.5V or adjustable output is needed and board space allows SOT23-3. |
| MAX6008BAUT12+T | 1.2V fixed output; 0.2% initial accuracy; 75ppm/°C tempco; SOT23-3 package; 50µA–20mA current range. | Lower tempco and wider current range; same accuracy grade but different output voltage (1.2V vs. 1.225V). | Select when tighter thermal drift is critical and 1.2V output suffices for system tolerance budget. |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage of the LM4041BIX3-1.2+T?
The LM4041BIX3-1.2+T provides a fixed reverse breakdown voltage of 1.225V at +25°C, with a tolerance of ±2.4mV (±0.2%) at room temperature and ±10.4mV over its full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This value is laser-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does the LM4041BIX3-1.2+T require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4041BIX3-1.2+T does not require an external output capacitor for stability. It is designed to remain stable with any capacitive load, including zero capacitance. This eliminates BOM cost and simplifies layout - a key advantage confirmed in the General Description and Applications Information sections.
What is the operating temperature range for the LM4041BIX3-1.2+T?
The LM4041BIX3-1.2+T is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C. This is explicitly defined in the Ordering Information table, where the "I" suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade. The device is fully specified and guaranteed across this range per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics.
What package type does the LM4041BIX3-1.2+T use?
The LM4041BIX3-1.2+T uses the 3-pin SC70 package (SC70-3), measuring 1.8mm × 1.8mm. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Package Information section, with "X3" in the part number denoting the SC70-3 variant and "+T" indicating lead(Pb)-free/RoHS compliance.
How many pins does the LM4041BIX3-1.2+T have, and what is the function of Pin 3?
The LM4041BIX3-1.2+T has three terminals: Pin 1 (+), Pin 2 (−), and Pin 3 (N.C.). Per the Pin Description table, Pin 3 is designated "No-connect" and must be left floating or connected to Pin 2 - it serves no active circuit function and is not internally bonded.
