Product details
Overview
LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 1.225V shunt voltage reference in SC70-5 package, rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), with ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max tempco, and 20 μVRMS 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 LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB pinout, LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB application, or LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.225V output, SC70-5 footprint compatibility, no-output-capacitor operation, reverse breakdown current range (60 μA–12 mA), and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification for automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB uses a bandgap-based Zener-zap trimmed shunt architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation. Its three-terminal SC70-5 configuration (Anode, Cathode, FB) supports both fixed-voltage and adjustable configurations via external resistor divider on the FB pin - though this specific variant is factory-set to 1.225 V.
It operates without an output capacitor and maintains stability across capacitive loads up to 10 nF. The device achieves 0.5% initial accuracy (C grade) and guarantees ≤100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over −40°C to +85°C, enabling high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in space-constrained portable systems.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB has a ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C (C grade), and its total tolerance over −40°C to +85°C is ±14 mV (±1.15%). This includes both initial error and temperature-induced drift calculated using its 100 ppm/°C max tempco and 65°C ΔT from 25°C. The LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB meets this spec across its full industrial operating range without derating.
Can LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB be used in adjustable mode?
Yes - the LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB includes a dedicated FB (feedback) pin (Pin 1) that allows reconfiguration as an adjustable reference using an external resistor divider. When Pin 1 is left floating or tied to Anode (Pin 2), it operates as a fixed 1.225 V shunt. The LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB datasheet provides resistor calculation formulas and stability guidelines for adjustable use cases.
Does LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB require an output capacitor?
No - the LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB is designed to operate stably without any output capacitor, reducing BOM count and PCB area. It also tolerates capacitive loads up to 10 nF, enabling direct connection to sampling capacitors in successive-approximation ADCs. This capability is verified across all operating currents (60 μA–12 mA) and temperatures for the LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB.
What is the maximum operating current for LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB?
The LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB supports a maximum operating (shunt) current of 12 mA. At this current, power dissipation in the SC70-5 package remains within safe limits (241 mW rating), assuming proper PCB thermal relief. Derating is recommended above 85°C ambient; the LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB's thermal resistance (RθJA = 265.3°C/W) allows ~7.5 mA max at 100°C junction temperature.
Is LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the LM4041DIM3X-1.2/NOPB is part of the LM4041-N-Q1 family and is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation. It undergoes stress testing including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22 standards. While not Grade 1 (125°C), its qualification makes it suitable for cabin electronics, body control modules, and non-engine-compartment automotive subsystems.
