Product details
Overview
LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 1.225 V shunt voltage reference in TO-92 package, rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), with ±0.2% initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max tempco, and 20 μVRMS wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It delivers stable reference voltage for ADC biasing in portable energy metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB pinout, LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB application, or LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse breakdown voltage accuracy over temperature, low operating current (60 μA min), capacitive load stability, and TO-92 mechanical compatibility in space-constrained instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB implements a bandgap-based shunt reference architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation. Its Zener-zap trimmed die ensures ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C and maintains ≤±10.4 mV total error across −40°C to +85°C.
It operates as a two-terminal device: cathode sinks current to establish regulated 1.225 V across external load/resistor, while anode connects to system ground. No output capacitor is required, and it remains stable with any capacitive load up to 10 nF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.225 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - sets precise bias point for analog front-ends |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (±2.4 mV) - enables high-resolution 16-bit ADC reference without trimming |
| Tempco | ≤100 ppm/°C - limits drift to ±8.5 mV over full industrial range (−40°C to +85°C) |
| Operating Current | 60 μA to 12 mA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current DAC references |
| Output Noise | 20 μVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz) - avoids quantization noise floor degradation in precision measurement |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.5–1.5 Ω at 1 mA - ensures minimal load regulation error (<1 mV) under varying sink current |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs - guarantees calibration retention in field-deployed test equipment |
Pinout & Package
LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB uses the 3-pin TO-92 through-hole package (4.30 mm × 4.30 mm body), with leads arranged bottom-view per Figure 4-3. Pin 1 is NC (no connect), Pin 2 is Cathode (I/O), Pin 3 is Anode (O, normally grounded).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Must be left unconnected or tied to anode; no internal connection - prevents EMI coupling in noisy environments |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Shunt current input / output node | Sinks current to develop 1.225 V across external resistor; serves as regulated voltage output node |
| Pin 3 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Connected to system ground; forms return path for shunt current and defines voltage reference plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Eliminates BOM cost and PCB area for stabilization cap - simplifies layout in compact meters |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable with ≥10 nF load - allows direct buffering with op-amps or driving long traces in data-acquisition boards |
| Low minimum operating current | 60 μA operation - enables use in battery-powered handheld calibrators with multi-year shelf life |
| Reverse breakdown voltage options | Fixed 1.225 V output - avoids external resistor network errors in single-voltage reference applications |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified | Qualified for industrial temp range (−40°C to +85°C) - supports deployment in factory automation controllers |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB over its full operating temperature range?
The LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB has a total reverse breakdown voltage tolerance of ±10.4 mV (±0.85%) across −40°C to +85°C. This combines its ±0.2% initial error at 25°C and ±100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient applied over the 125°C ΔT span, verified per TI's Electrical Characteristics Table 5.5. The value is guaranteed for the B-grade device in TO-92 packaging.
Can LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB drive a 10 nF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes, LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB is explicitly characterized for stability with any capacitive load, including ≥10 nF, per the "Tolerates capacitive loads" feature in the datasheet. Its internal design eliminates need for external compensation, making it suitable for direct connection to ADC reference inputs or op-amp buffers with long PCB traces.
What is the minimum operating current required for LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB to maintain regulation?
The LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 60 μA at 25°C to maintain specified reverse breakdown voltage accuracy. At temperature extremes (−40°C or +85°C), this increases to 65 μA. Below this threshold, regulation degrades - critical for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits where bias current must be carefully budgeted.
Is LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB is not automotive-qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and carries AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4041-N-Q1 series (e.g., LM4041QBIM3), which is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C) and marked with Q1 suffix.
How does the TO-92 package of LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB affect thermal performance compared to SOT-23?
The TO-92 package of LM4041BIZ-1.2/NOPB provides lower junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (161.5°C/W) than SOT-23 (291.9°C/W), improving power dissipation capability. At 12 mA sink current and 1.225 V drop, power dissipation is ~14.7 mW - well within the 550 mW TO-92 rating, allowing reliable operation without heatsinking in enclosed enclosures.
