Product details
Overview
LM4050BEM3-4.1+T from Analog Devices is a precision 4.096V, 0.2% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C temperature coefficient shunt voltage reference in a 3-pin SC70 package. It operates over -40°C to +125°C with 73µA minimum shunt current and 28µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), enabling high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050BEM3-4.1+T datasheet, LM4050BEM3-4.1+T pinout, LM4050BEM3-4.1+T application, or LM4050BEM3-4.1+T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The LM4050BEM3-4.1+T implements a laser-trimmed bandgap core delivering stable reverse breakdown at precisely 4.096V across 73µA–15mA shunt current. Its internal architecture eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability under any capacitive load - a key advantage over series references in space-constrained systems.
Guaranteed 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over -40°C to +125°C and ±8.2mV total tolerance (0.2% grade) ensure predictable drift in industrial sensor front-ends and battery-powered data loggers where long-term calibration integrity is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096V nominal at +25°C; ±8.2mV (0.2%) tolerance over full temperature range ensures reliable 12-bit DAC reference accuracy. |
| Initial Accuracy | 0.2% (B grade); enables single-point calibration in portable medical devices without trimming circuitry. |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max; limits output drift to ±5.12mV over -40°C to +125°C, supporting automotive cabin temperature sensing. |
| Shunt Current Range | 73µA to 15mA; supports low-power microcontroller wake-up circuits and high-current analog monitoring paths. |
| Wideband Noise | 64µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz); meets SNR requirements for 16-bit SAR ADCs in precision data acquisition. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.5–1.0Ω at 1mA; maintains <1mV regulation error during 1mA load transients in closed-loop power supplies. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm after 1000h; guarantees <0.012% output shift over 5-year field deployment in industrial controllers. |
Pinout & Package
LM4050BEM3-4.1+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), 50% smaller than SOT23, optimized for ultra-dense PCB layouts in handheld test equipment and wearables.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+) | Positive terminal (anode) | Connects to regulated output node; sinks current when reverse-biased above 4.096V. |
| 2 (–) | Negative terminal (cathode) | Reference ground return path; must be tied to system ground for accurate voltage regulation. |
| 3 (N.C.) | No connection | Must remain unconnected or shorted to Pin 2; floating Pin 3 causes parametric shift and instability. |
