Product details
Overview
LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23 package, delivering a stable 8.192 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.2% initial tolerance (B grade), 50 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 150 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It operates from 74 μA to 15 mA, supports capacitive loads without external compensation, and targets high-accuracy analog signal conditioning in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8.192 V nominal output, B-grade accuracy, industrial/extended temperature range support (−40°C to +125°C), no-output-capacitor operation, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB uses bandgap-based Zener-zap trimmed shunt regulation with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation, enabling stable 8.192 V reference across −40°C to +125°C. Its dynamic impedance remains ≤0.6 Ω at 1 mA, ensuring minimal load-induced voltage shift.
It requires no external capacitor for stability and tolerates unlimited capacitive loading-unlike series references-making it ideal for low-noise ADC biasing and DAC reference buffering where layout simplicity and supply rejection matter.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, fixed and factory-trimmed |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B grade), enabling <±16.4 mV absolute error before temp drift |

FAQ
What is the exact nominal output voltage of the LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB has a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 8.192 V, confirmed in Section 6.9 of the official TI datasheet (SNOS455G). This value is fixed and factory-trimmed using Zener-zap technology, and applies specifically to the "8.2" variant designation in the part number.
Does the LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No-the LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB is explicitly designed to operate stably without any external output capacitor, as stated in the Features section and validated in the Functional Description. It tolerates unlimited capacitive loading, eliminating capacitor-related BOM cost, footprint, and reliability concerns.
What is the minimum operating current for the LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB at 25°C?
Per Section 6.9 of the TI datasheet, the LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 74 μA at 25°C. This value increases slightly over temperature, reaching 95 μA in the industrial range and 100 μA in the extended −40°C to +125°C range.
Is the LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No-the LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB is part of the LM4050-N industrial-grade family. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4050-N-Q1 series (e.g., LM4050BEM3-8.2Q1), which is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. The /NOPB suffix confirms commercial-industrial qualification only.
What does the 'B' grade signify in LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB?
The 'B' in LM4050BEM3-8.2/NOPB denotes ±0.2% initial reverse breakdown voltage tolerance at 25°C, as defined in the Electrical Characteristics tables. This is tighter than the C grade (±0.5%) and looser than the A grade (±0.1%), balancing accuracy and cost for mid-tier precision applications.
