Product details
Overview
LM4041DIM7X-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower adjustable shunt voltage reference in SC70-5 package, delivering 1.233 V nominal reference voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C, 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 60 μA to 12 mA load current - used in high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing and portable energy metering circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4041DIM7X-ADJ datasheet, LM4041DIM7X-ADJ pinout, LM4041DIM7X-ADJ application, or LM4041DIM7X-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable output (1.24 V to 10 V), no-output-capacitor requirement, low 20 μVrms noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), thermal hysteresis of 0.08%, and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100 Grade 1).
Technical Context
The LM4041DIM7X-ADJ uses a bandgap-based shunt architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation and Zener-zap trimming at wafer sort to achieve ±0.5% initial accuracy. Its feedback (FB) pin enables precise external resistor-divider programming of output voltage across the full 1.24–10 V range.
It operates without an output capacitor and remains stable with any capacitive load up to 10 nF. The SC70-5 package integrates cathode, anode, FB, and two NC terminals - with FB pin requiring high-impedance connection to maintain reference accuracy and low 150 nA typical input current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.233 V nominal at 100 μA, programmable to 10 V via external resistors - sets precision bias point for analog signal chains. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% at 25°C (C grade) - ensures ≤6.2 mV absolute error at 5 V output, critical for 12-bit+ data acquisition. |
| Temp Coefficient | Max 100 ppm/°C (industrial range) - contributes ≤±6.5 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C at 5 V output. |
| Operating Current | 60–12,000 μA - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes (60 μA sleep mode) and high-current DAC references (12 mA). |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 20 μVrms - avoids quantization noise floor degradation in 16-bit SAR ADCs and precision instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3 Ω at 1 mA - maintains tight regulation under fast load transients, e.g., during ADC sampling bursts. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm (1000 hrs) - guarantees <0.012% output drift over 1 year, suitable for uncalibrated field-deployed meters. |
Pinout & Package
LM4041DIM7X-ADJ is packaged in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) case measuring 1.25 mm × 2.00 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 2) | Ground reference node | Internally connected to substrate; must be tied to system ground - floating anode causes regulation failure. |
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Shunt current sink / output terminal | Carries total load + reference current; connects to VOUT node and external series resistor in adjustable configuration. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; draws only 150 nA typical - enables high-R divider networks without loading error. |
| NC (Pin 1 & 4) | No-connect terminals | Must remain unconnected or tied to anode; routing traces to these pins risks parasitic coupling and instability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output range | 1.24 V to 10 V via two-resistor divider - eliminates need for multiple fixed-reference SKUs in multi-voltage systems. |
| No output capacitor required | Stable with 0–10 nF capacitive load - simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and avoids capacitor aging-induced drift. |
| Low quiescent current | 60 μA minimum operating current - extends battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors beyond 5 years. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Rated for −40°C to +125°C ambient - validated for engine control units, ADAS power supplies, and under-hood telemetry. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 0.08% - ensures repeatable voltage after thermal cycling, essential for calibration-critical test equipment. |
Applications
| Portable Energy Meters | Automotive Battery Monitoring |

Use Value: SC70-5 footprint saves board area; 20 μVrms noise prevents ECG waveform distortion below 1 μV amplitude. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431IDBVR | Fixed 1.24 V reference; no adjustability; higher 100 μA min current; 2% initial tolerance. | Limited to single-voltage systems; unsuitable where 5 V or 10 V reference needed. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy and flexibility needs; verify stability with target load capacitance. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 2.048 V output; 0.1% initial tolerance; 30 ppm/°C TC; SC70-3 package (no FB pin). | Requires external op-amp for adjustable outputs; better TC but narrower voltage range. | Prefer for ultra-stable 2.048 V references in 12-bit systems; not drop-in for LM4041DIM7X-ADJ's adjustable topology. |
Compared with TLVH431IDBVR and MAX6008AEUR+T, LM4041DIM7X-ADJ uniquely combines programmable output, sub-100 ppm/°C drift, and SC70-5 integration - enabling one-part support for multi-rail calibration without redesigning feedback networks or sacrificing accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by LM4041DIM7X-ADJ?
The LM4041DIM7X-ADJ supports an adjustable output voltage range from 1.24 V to 10 V, set by external resistive dividers connected to the FB pin. Its absolute maximum cathode-to-anode voltage is 15 V per datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings - exceeding this risks permanent damage. Operation above 10 V requires verification of power dissipation and thermal limits in the target SC70-5 layout.
Does LM4041DIM7X-ADJ require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4041DIM7X-ADJ does not require an output capacitor and is explicitly designed to remain stable with any capacitive load from 0 to 10 nF. This eliminates capacitor-related drift, aging, and board space - a key advantage over many series references. However, large (>100 nF) bulk capacitors near the cathode may introduce startup overshoot and should be evaluated per application.
How does the FB pin function in LM4041DIM7X-ADJ?
The FB (feedback) pin on LM4041DIM7X-ADJ senses the divided output voltage and regulates the cathode current to maintain 1.233 V between FB and anode. It draws only 150 nA typical current, enabling high-value resistor dividers (e.g., 1 MΩ/249 kΩ for 5 V) without significant loading error. The FB pin must never be left floating - it must connect directly to the divider junction or tie to anode if unused (though unused configuration disables adjustability).
Is LM4041DIM7X-ADJ qualified for automotive use?
Yes, LM4041DIM7X-ADJ is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, rated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation and validated for automotive applications including battery monitoring, engine control, and ADAS power domains. Its 0.08% thermal hysteresis and 120 ppm long-term stability meet stringent automotive reliability requirements without field recalibration.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4041DIM7X-ADJ?
The LM4041DIM7X-ADJ has a minimum operating current of 60 μA at 25°C, increasing to 65 μA across the full −40°C to +85°C industrial range. Below this threshold, regulation degrades and output voltage collapses. Designers must ensure the sum of load current and reference current (via cathode) stays ≥60 μA - critical for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits and energy-harvesting systems.
