Product details
Overview
LM4041DADJFTA from Diodes Incorporated is an adjustable-precision shunt voltage reference IC with 1.24 V to 10 V output range, ±1% initial tolerance at 25°C, 20 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and operates from 60 µA to 12 mA. It uses a bandgap circuit in SOT23-3 package and serves as a stable reference in low-power analog signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041DADJFTA datasheet, LM4041DADJFTA pinout, LM4041DADJFTA application, or LM4041DADJFTA equivalent, key selection criteria include output adjustability, micro-power operation, capacitive-load stability, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The LM4041DADJFTA functions as a two-terminal shunt reference where cathode voltage is set by external resistor divider feedback. Its bandgap core delivers stable reverse breakdown voltage across -40°C to +125°C ambient, with dynamic impedance as low as 0.5 Ω at 1 mA and 120 Hz.
It requires no output capacitor for stability, tolerates wide capacitive loading, and maintains <20 µVRMS noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) while drawing only 60 µA minimum operating current - enabling use in battery-critical systems without compromising accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 1.24 V to 10 V - set externally via resistor divider; enables flexible system-level voltage scaling |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1% at 25°C - defines worst-case reference error before calibration or trimming |
| Temp Coefficient | ±20 ppm/°C (max −40°C to +125°C) - ensures ≤0.25% total drift over full industrial range |
| Operating Current | 60 µA to 12 mA - supports ultra-low-power standby and high-accuracy active modes |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 20 µVRMS - limits contribution to ADC quantization error in precision data acquisition |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.5 Ω at 1 mA / 120 Hz - minimizes load-induced voltage shift during transient current demand |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm (1000 hrs) - predicts minimal aging drift in mission-critical embedded references |
Pinout & Package
LM4041DADJFTA is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 surface-mount package with thermal pad omitted. Pin 1 is ANODE, Pin 2 is CATHODE, and Pin 3 is NC (no internal connection). Pin 3 must be left floating or tied to Pin 2 per layout guidance to avoid parasitic conduction paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | ANODE | Current sink terminal; connects to ground or low-impedance return path in shunt configuration |
| Pin 2 | CATHODE | Reference output node; voltage is regulated relative to ANODE; drives feedback divider |
| Pin 3 | N/C | No internal connection; must float or short to Pin 2 to prevent die attachment interference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output (1.24–10 V) | Enables single BOM item to support multiple system voltage rails without redesigning reference network |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates board space, cost, and reliability risk associated with external stabilization caps |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (−40°C to +125°C) and ESD robustness (4 kV HBM) |
| Low 60 µA minimum current | Permits operation from coin cells or energy-harvesting sources with sub-100 µA quiescent budgets |
| 20 µVRMS broadband noise | Preserves effective resolution in 16-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADCs without post-filtering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV431ACDBVR | Fixed 1.24 V reference; no external adjustment; 0.5% initial tolerance; higher 70 µA min current | Limited to fixed-voltage use cases; unsuitable for >1.24 V outputs | Select when absolute minimum cost and footprint are prioritized over output flexibility |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Adjustable 1.18–10 V; 0.2% initial tolerance; 10 ppm/°C tempco; requires 80 µA min current | Higher accuracy and lower drift, but tighter current compliance and higher cost | Select when long-term stability and temperature performance outweigh micro-power constraints |
Compared with TLV431ACDBVR and MAX6008AEUR+T, the LM4041DADJFTA uniquely balances adjustability, micro-power operation (60 µA), and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and portable designs needing configurable reference voltage without sacrificing reliability or battery life.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode-to-anode voltage required for regulation?
The LM4041DADJFTA begins regulating when cathode voltage exceeds 1.24 V above anode potential. Below this threshold, it behaves as a high-impedance open circuit. Regulation is guaranteed only within the 1.24–10 V output range defined by external resistor ratios and input voltage headroom.
Can Pin 3 be connected to ground or left unconnected?
Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must never be grounded. Per Diodes' layout guidance, it must either float or be tied directly to Pin 2 (CATHODE) to prevent unintended conduction through the die attach pad - grounding Pin 3 risks reference instability or device failure.
How does load regulation behave across the 60 µA–12 mA current range?
Load regulation error is specified as ≤10 mV over the full 60 µA–12 mA operating current range at −40°C to +125°C. This corresponds to <0.1% deviation for a 10 V output, achieved via low dynamic impedance (≤2 Ω) and stable bandgap core design.
Is the LM4041DADJFTA compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the device is explicitly designed for unconditional stability with capacitive loads up to 1 µF, including X7R and NP0 ceramics. No series resistance or damping is required, simplifying layout and improving transient response in noisy environments.
