Product details
Overview
LM4041DILPR from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference with fixed 1.225 V output, ±1.0% initial tolerance (D grade), 150 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, 20 μVRMS wideband noise, and stable operation from 45 μA to 12 mA cathode current - used in high-accuracy power-supply monitors and portable data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041DILPR datasheet, LM4041DILPR pinout, LM4041DILPR application, or LM4041DILPR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT-23-3 pin mapping, industrial-temperature (–40°C to +85°C) performance data, and real-world substitution guidance for precision analog design.
Technical Context
The LM4041DILPR implements a Zener-zap trimmed shunt reference architecture with low dynamic impedance (≤2 Ω at 1 mA) and no requirement for external stabilization capacitors. Its feedback pin (FB) is absent in the fixed-output variant, simplifying circuit integration while retaining low-noise regulation across full operating current range.
It operates as a two-terminal device (anode grounded, cathode supplying reference voltage) with reverse breakdown behavior, enabling flexible placement in series or shunt configurations. The D-grade version trades tighter tolerance for cost efficiency in applications where ±1.0% initial accuracy and 150 ppm/°C drift are acceptable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.225 V nominal; enables direct replacement of legacy 1.2 V references without resistor divider redesign. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±1.0% max at 25°C (D grade); defines worst-case DC offset in calibration-critical signal chains. |
| Tempco | 150 ppm/°C max over –40°C to +85°C; contributes ≤1.2 mV drift across full industrial temperature range. |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 20 μVRMS typical; supports high-resolution ADCs (e.g., 16-bit+ SAR) without added filtering. |
| Operating Current | 45 μA min to 12 mA max cathode current; allows ultra-low-power sensor nodes and robust high-current monitoring. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤2 Ω at 1 mA (full temp range); ensures <2 mV load regulation error for 2 mA load transients. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 h; predicts minimal drift in battery-powered metering equipment over multi-year deployment. |
Pinout & Package
LM4041DILPR is packaged in a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) surface-mount package with JEDEC-standard pinout and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 206°C/W enables operation up to 85°C ambient without heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current sink and output node | Connects to regulated voltage rail; supplies reference voltage and sinks all cathode current (IZ). |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground return | Must be connected to system ground; forms the 1.225 V potential difference with cathode. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must float or tie to anode per TI EMI mitigation guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-output-capacitor stability | Operates stably with any capacitive load (0–∞), eliminating BOM cost and layout area for bypass caps. |
| Micropower start-up | Regulates correctly at 45 μA cathode current - enables use in energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered systems. |
| Low thermal drift | 150 ppm/°C max tempco ensures ≤12 mV total drift over –40°C to +85°C, critical for field-deployed instrumentation. |
| High ESD robustness | ±2000 V HBM rating protects against assembly-line and field handling damage without external clamping. |
| Wide cathode current range | Supports both ultra-low-power (45 μA) and high-accuracy (10 mA) modes in same footprint - simplifies design reuse. |
Applications
| Power-Supply Monitor | Data-Acquisition System |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACLP | Adjustable 2.495 V output, higher 100 μA min cathode current, ±1% tolerance, 50 ppm/°C tempco | Requires external resistor divider; better suited for 3.3 V/5 V regulation but incompatible with 1.225 V fixed-point designs | Select when adjustable output and tighter tempco justify added components and higher quiescent current. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 1.25 V output, ±0.2% tolerance, 75 ppm/°C tempco, SC70-3 package, 60 μA min current | Higher accuracy and lower drift, but incompatible pinout and stricter minimum current limit | Choose for metrology-grade applications where 0.2% tolerance and 75 ppm/°C are mandatory and layout revision is feasible. |
Compared with TL431ACLP and MAX6008AEUR+T, LM4041DILPR offers the only SOT-23-3 fixed 1.225 V solution with sub-100 μA start-up capability - making it uniquely suitable for space-constrained, ultra-low-power industrial sensing nodes requiring exact 1.225 V referencing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4041DILPR?
The LM4041DILPR is characterized for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per TI's LM4041xI specification tables and applies to all electrical parameters including tolerance, tempco, and noise performance - ensuring reliable function in factory automation and outdoor metering environments.
Does LM4041DILPR require an output capacitor?
No, LM4041DILPR does not require an output capacitor for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability with all capacitive loads, including 0 μF. Adding a capacitor may reduce high-frequency noise but is never necessary for loop stability - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for LM4041DILPR to regulate?
The LM4041DILPR requires a minimum cathode current of 45 μA (typical) to maintain regulation at 25°C, rising to 80 μA across the full –40°C to +85°C range. This value is specified in Section 5.4 of the TI datasheet and defines the lowest usable current for battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications.
How does the LM4041DILPR differ from the adjustable LM4041 variants?
LM4041DILPR is the fixed 1.225 V output version with no FB pin; it uses pins 1 (cathode), 2 (anode), and 3 (NC). Adjustable variants (e.g., LM4041BIDBZR) include a dedicated FB pin for resistor-divider programming and support outputs from 1.225 V to 10 V - requiring different pinout and external components.
Is LM4041DILPR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM4041DILPR is RoHS compliant and features a lead-free NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold) or Sn (tin) lead finish, as confirmed in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak.
