Product details
Overview
LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 1.225 V shunt voltage reference in SOT-23 package, rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), with ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 20 μVRMS wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It serves as a stable reference in low-power analog signal chains for battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB pinout, LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB application, or LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.225 V output, no-output-capacitor requirement, 60 μA minimum operating current, and compatibility with capacitive loads in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB implements a bandgap-based shunt reference architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation, enabling stable reverse breakdown voltage across −40°C to +85°C. Its dynamic impedance is ≤1.5 Ω at 1 mA, supporting high-accuracy feedback in ADC references and sensor excitation circuits.
It operates as a two-terminal device: cathode supplies shunt current and delivers regulated voltage, while anode connects to system ground. The design eliminates external stabilization capacitors and tolerates arbitrary capacitive loading-critical for portable and automotive subsystems where layout area and EMI resilience are constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.225 V nominal; fixed value enables direct use in 1.2 V–1.25 V reference applications without resistor dividers. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% at 25°C (C-grade); corresponds to ±6.1 mV absolute error, suitable for 12-bit ADC biasing. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C; contributes ≤±8.5 mV drift across full range, preserving accuracy in unregulated environments. |
| Operating Current | 60 μA min to 12 mA max; ultra-low IQ supports microamp-level systems like gas sensors and wearables. |
| Output Noise | 20 μVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz); low enough for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without additional filtering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.5 Ω at 1 mA; ensures minimal load regulation error (<1.5 mV per mA load change) in varying-current applications. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs; predictable aging behavior supports calibration interval planning in test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package: 3-pin surface-mount, 1.30 mm × 2.92 mm body size, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode | Shunt current input / output node | Regulated 1.225 V appears here; sinks all current not drawn by load; connects to VREF net. |
| Anode | Reference ground terminal | Must be connected to system ground; forms return path for shunt current; defines voltage reference point. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must float or tie to anode per TI recommendation in high-noise environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040DIM3-1.2/NOPB | Same 1.225 V output and SOT-23 package, but uses buried Zener topology; higher 100 μA min current; 35 μVRMS noise. | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; not recommended for automotive Grade 3 environments. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and ultra-low-noise requirements. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | 1.25 V output, ±0.2% initial tolerance, 75 ppm/°C TC, 25 μVRMS noise, 80 μA min current; SC70-3 package. | Higher accuracy but larger tempco drift and higher noise; SC70 footprint differs from SOT-23. | Choose for tighter initial tolerance where board rework for SC70 is acceptable and 1.25 V output aligns with system design. |
Compared with LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB, LM4040DIM3-1.2/NOPB trades automotive qualification and lower noise for higher minimum current, while MAX6008AEUR+T offers superior initial accuracy but requires footprint change and accepts higher thermal drift and noise-making LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB optimal for automotive-qualified, low-noise, low-IQ 1.225 V reference needs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB has ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C, and its total tolerance over −40°C to +85°C is ±1.15%, calculated as ±0.5% ± (100 ppm/°C × 65°C × 1.225 V). This results in a worst-case deviation of ±14.1 mV, verified per TI's Electrical Characteristics Table 5.6.
Does LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
No, LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design provides inherent stability with any capacitive load, including >100 nF ceramic bypass caps-eliminating layout constraints and reducing BOM count in compact designs.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB?
The LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 60 μA at 25°C, rising to 65 μA across the full −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. This ultra-low IQ enables direct use with high-impedance sources such as thermistor networks or photodiode amps.
Is LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified for automotive use, with validated operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. It meets stress testing requirements for temperature cycling, HBM ESD (±2 kV), and long-term reliability in non-safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
How does the noise performance of LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB compare to similar references?
LM4041DIM3-1.2/NOPB delivers 20 μVRMS wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), matching top-tier shunt references like the LM4041AIM3. This is 40% lower than LM4040DIM3-1.2/NOPB (35 μVRMS) and sufficient for 16-bit ADC applications without added filtering.
