Product details
Overview
LM4041DADJQFTA from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade adjustable shunt voltage reference delivering 1.24V to 10V output with ±1% initial tolerance at +25°C, 20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 60µA to 12mA supply current in SOT23 package. It serves as a precision voltage setting element in feedback loops of isolated DC-DC converters and battery monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041DADJQFTA datasheet, LM4041DADJQFTA pinout, LM4041DADJQFTA application, or LM4041DADJQFTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, no-output-capacitor stability, low 20µVRMS noise (10Hz–10kHz), and cathode-voltage-dependent reference drift of –4.0mV/V over –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The LM4041DADJQFTA operates as a 3-terminal shunt reference: anode, cathode, and adjust (REF) pins enable external resistor-divider programming of output voltage between 1.24V and 10V using VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1). Its bandgap core maintains regulation across 60µA–12mA cathode current.
It features inherent capacitive-load immunity, dynamic impedance as low as 0.5Ω at 1mA, and long-term stability of 120ppm over 1000 hours. The device is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with absolute maximum cathode voltage of 15V and ESD ratings of 4kV HBM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 1.24V to 10V - programmable via external resistive divider; sets precise feedback threshold in isolated power supplies. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1% at +25°C - ensures accurate voltage setpoint without calibration in automotive sensor signal conditioning. |
| Temp Coefficient | 20ppm/°C max (–40°C to +125°C) - enables stable reference performance across full automotive temperature range. |
| Operating Current | 60µA to 12mA - supports ultra-low-power battery monitoring and high-current industrial power supervision. |
| Noise (10Hz–10kHz) | 20µVRMS - minimizes voltage error in precision ADC reference and analog front-end biasing. |
| Cathode Voltage Drift | –4.0mV/V max - quantifies reference shift per volt change in cathode potential, critical for high-side sensing designs. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm (1000 hrs) - guarantees minimal reference drift during vehicle lifetime deployment. |
Pinout & Package
LM4041DADJQFTA is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), with thermal resistance θJA = 380°C/W and 330mW max power dissipation at +25°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: ANODE | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground; internal bandgap circuit return path; must be at lowest potential in shunt configuration. |
| Pin 2: CATHODE | Output terminal | Delivers regulated voltage; sinks current from external supply through series resistor; voltage set by REF-to-CATHODE divider. |
| Pin 3: REF (ADJUST) | Feedback input | Connects to voltage divider midpoint; senses fraction of cathode voltage to regulate output; floating or tied to Pin 2 only in fixed-voltage variants. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Stable under all load capacitance conditions up to 1µF - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for decoupling in space-constrained modules. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.5Ω at 1mA - reduces output voltage perturbation during transient load steps in closed-loop power control. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C operation with PPAP support - meets OEM requirements for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 60µA minimum operating current - enables direct connection to Li-ion battery cells for multi-year voltage monitoring without significant self-discharge. |
| Green packaging | Lead-free, halogen-free, antimony-free SOT23 - satisfies EU RoHS 2 and automotive ELV directive compliance without derating. |
Applications
| Automotive Battery Monitoring | Isolated DC-DC Feedback |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431AQDBVRQ1 | Higher 2% initial tolerance; 50ppm/°C max TC; requires ≥100µA cathode current | Less suitable for high-accuracy battery voltage monitoring below 100µA load | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and ultra-low-current operation |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 2.048V output only; 0.5% tolerance; 25ppm/°C TC; SOT23-3 pinout differs (REF not exposed) | Not usable for adjustable-voltage applications; incompatible pin mapping for REF feedback | Choose only for fixed 2.048V needs where higher initial accuracy justifies loss of adjustability |
Compared with TLVH431AQDBVRQ1 and MAX6008AEUR+T, LM4041DADJQFTA uniquely combines ±1% tolerance, 20ppm/°C TC, 60µA minimum current, and true 3-pin adjustability in standard SOT23 - making it optimal for automotive power management requiring both precision and design flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode voltage rating for LM4041DADJQFTA?
The absolute maximum cathode voltage is 15V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage. In normal operation, cathode voltage is set by the external resistor divider and must remain within 1.24V to 10V per the recommended output range; operation above 10V is not characterized and may degrade long-term stability.
Can LM4041DADJQFTA be used without an external capacitor?
Yes - the device is explicitly designed for unconditional stability with no output capacitor required, even with up to 1µF of capacitive load. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "No Output Capacitor Required" feature and validated in Typical Characteristics plots showing stable impedance vs. frequency with and without 1µF tantalum.
How does the REF pin function in the adjustable configuration?
The REF pin (Pin 3) is the feedback input that senses the voltage divider ratio between cathode and anode. Regulation occurs when the voltage at REF equals the internal 1.233V bandgap reference. Output voltage is calculated as VOUT = 1.233V × (1 + R2/R1), where R1 connects REF to ANODE and R2 connects CATHODE to REF.
Is LM4041DADJQFTA compatible with standard SOT23 PCB footprints?
Yes - it uses the JEDEC-standard SOT23-3 (TO-236AB) package with documented dimensions: 2.90mm × 1.30mm × 1.03mm (L × W × H). Pad layout matches Diodes' official SOT23 outline (Package Code F), including 0.975mm pitch between Pins 1 and 2, and is fully compatible with IPC-7351B generic SOT23 land patterns.
