Product details
Overview
LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T from Analog Devices is a precision 2.500 V, 0.2% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient shunt voltage reference in a 3-pin SC70 package. It operates over -40°C to +125°C with 60 µA to 15 mA shunt current capability, low 35 µVRMS noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), and no external capacitor requirement-ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T datasheet, LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T pinout, LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T application, or LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed AEC-Q100 qualification (/V suffix), SC70 thermal performance (θJA = 340.4°C/W), reverse breakdown voltage stability across load current (±2.5 mV max change from 60 µA to 15 mA), and compatibility with capacitive loads without oscillation.
Technical Context
The LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T implements a laser-trimmed bandgap core with two-terminal shunt topology, delivering fixed 2.500 V reverse breakdown voltage referenced to cathode (Pin 2). Its internal architecture eliminates need for series pass elements or external compensation, enabling stable regulation under varying load currents and capacitive loading conditions.
Guaranteed operation across -40°C to +125°C includes ±50 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient (tested at IR = 1 mA), 120 ppm long-term stability after 1000 hours, and dynamic impedance ≤0.8 Ω at 1 mA/120 Hz-ensuring minimal output voltage drift in automotive and industrial sensor signal chains where supply rails fluctuate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V nominal; ±5.0 mV (±0.2%) tolerance at +25°C ensures direct compatibility with 12-bit SAR ADC reference inputs requiring ≤0.5 LSB error. |
| Tempco | ≤50 ppm/°C over -40°C to +125°C; guarantees ≤±1.25 mV total drift across full range-critical for battery-powered medical sensors. |
| Shunt Current Range | 60 µA to 15 mA; supports ultra-low-power microcontroller wake-up circuits and high-current DAC reference buffering without external amplification. |
| Output Noise | 35 µVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz); enables <16-bit ENOB in precision data acquisition systems without additional filtering. |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤0.8 Ω at 1 mA/120 Hz; maintains voltage regulation within ±0.8 mV during 1 mA load transients-sufficient for 16-bit DAC settling. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 h; corresponds to <±0.3 mV drift over 1 year-acceptable for factory-calibrated test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T uses the 3-pin SC70 package (1.8 mm × 1.8 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. Pin 3 is NC and must be left unconnected or tied to Pin 2 per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+) | Anode / Positive Terminal | Connects to system ground or low-impedance return path; serves as reference potential node for shunt current sink. |
| 2 (-) | Cathode / Negative Terminal | Delivers regulated 2.500 V output; connects to load and current-setting resistor (RS)-voltage appears between Pins 1 and 2. |
| 3 (N.C.) | No Connection | Must remain floating or shorted to Pin 2; no internal connection-omitting this risks mechanical stress or ESD path disruption. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications per /V suffix; meets stress testing requirements for engine control and ADAS modules operating at 125°C ambient. |
| Capacitive Load Tolerance | Stable with any output capacitance (0–10 µF); eliminates need for layout-dependent RC snubbers in motor drive feedback paths. |
| Micropower Operation | 60 µA minimum shunt current enables >10-year battery life in IoT sensor nodes using coin-cell power sources. |
| Laser-Trimmed Accuracy | 0.2% initial tolerance achieved via on-die resistor trimming-reduces post-assembly calibration steps in production test. |
| Wide Temperature Range | Specified from -40°C to +125°C; supports deployment in under-hood automotive electronics and industrial PLC I/O modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | Adjustable 1.24–18 V output; 0.5% initial accuracy; 100 ppm/°C tempco; SOT-23 package. | Requires external resistors for 2.5 V setting; higher tempco increases drift in wide-temperature deployments. | Choose when design flexibility across multiple reference voltages is needed and AEC-Q100 is not required. |
| MAX6025AEUR+T | Fixed 2.5 V; 0.1% initial accuracy; 20 ppm/°C tempco; SOT-23 package; 10 µVRMS noise. | Lower noise and tighter tempco but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and has narrower 100 µA–10 mA current range. | Prefer for high-resolution lab equipment where ultra-low noise dominates over automotive reliability. |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and MAX6025AEUR+T, LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T uniquely balances AEC-Q100 qualification, 0.2% accuracy, and SC70 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs needing proven long-term stability without adjustable components.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T?
The LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C. Its specified operating temperature range is -40°C to +125°C ambient. When dissipating 75 mW at maximum load (15 mA × 5 V), self-heating must be calculated using θJA = 340.4°C/W to ensure junction temperature remains within limits-critical for under-hood automotive use cases where ambient exceeds 100°C.
Does LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal design ensures stability with any capacitive load from 0 to 10 µF, eliminating layout sensitivity and reducing BOM count. This feature is verified across all operating conditions including 60 µA to 15 mA shunt current and -40°C to +125°C temperature range-making LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T ideal for compact, high-reliability systems.
How does the /V suffix in LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T affect its qualification status?
The /V suffix in LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T indicates AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications. This means the device has passed stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias HAST, and package reliability per AEC-Q100 Rev G. LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C and supports automotive-grade traceability-distinguishing it from non-/V variants like LM4050BEM3-2.5+T which lack formal automotive qualification.
What is the minimum shunt current required for LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T to maintain regulation?
The LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T requires a minimum shunt current of 60 µA to maintain regulation across its full temperature range. Below this threshold, output voltage may deviate beyond specification-especially at temperature extremes. Designers must size the series resistor (RS) to ensure ≥60 µA flows through LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T even under worst-case conditions of minimum supply voltage and maximum load current.
Can LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T be used in forward-bias mode?
Yes, LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T can operate in forward-bias mode with up to 10 mA anode-to-cathode current, clamping to approximately one diode drop (~0.7 V) below ground. However, this mode is not intended for precision reference use and is typically reserved for overvoltage protection or level-shifting functions. For stable 2.500 V reference operation, reverse-bias (shunt) configuration is mandatory-verified in all LM4050BEM3-2.5/V+T electrical characteristics tables.
