Product details
Overview
LM4050BIM3-3.0 from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3.000V shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, featuring ±6.0mV initial accuracy (0.2% grade), 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 60µA to 15mA shunt current. It serves as a compact, low-noise reference in battery-powered analog signal chains and ADC/DAC biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050BIM3-3.0 datasheet, LM4050BIM3-3.0 pinout, LM4050BIM3-3.0 application, or LM4050BIM3-3.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed -40°C to +125°C operation, no external capacitor requirement, ultra-low 45µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), and compatibility with capacitive loads in space-constrained portable systems.
Technical Context
The LM4050BIM3-3.0 uses a laser-trimmed bandgap core to deliver fixed 3.000V reverse breakdown voltage with ±15ppm/°C typical tempco and <1.0mV reverse dynamic impedance at 1mA. Its two-terminal shunt architecture eliminates need for external stabilization while maintaining regulation across 60µA–15mA operating current range.
Designed for high-reliability industrial and portable applications, it guarantees performance over full -40°C to +125°C ambient range without output capacitance, tolerates any capacitive load, and exhibits only 120ppm long-term stability after 1000 hours of operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.000V ±6.0mV at +25°C - ensures precise 3V reference for 12-bit+ ADCs and sensor excitation |
| Initial Accuracy | 0.2% grade - supports tight tolerance designs without post-calibration |
| Tempco | 50ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±6mV over full -40°C to +125°C range |
| Operating Current | 60µA to 15mA - enables micropower sleep modes and robust regulation under load transients |
| Output Noise | 45µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz) - minimizes noise contribution in precision measurement front-ends |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.3Ω to 0.8Ω at 1mA - maintains voltage stability during rapid current changes |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm @ 1000h - ensures reference integrity in deployed industrial equipment |
Pinout & Package
LM4050BIM3-3.0 is housed in a 3-pin SC70 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), 50% smaller than SOT23. Pin 3 is NC and must be left floating or tied to Pin 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (+) | Anode / Cathode Input | Positive terminal of shunt reference; connects to supply rail via series resistor |
| Pin 2 (−) | Cathode / Anode Output | Negative terminal; provides stable 3.000V reference node to load |
| Pin 3 (N.C.) | No Connection | Must remain unconnected or shorted to Pin 2 - no internal function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70-3 package | 1.8mm × 1.8mm footprint - saves PCB area in handheld and wearable devices |
| No output capacitor required | Internally compensated - eliminates BOM cost and layout risk from external caps |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable with any output capacitance - simplifies filtering and bypassing design |
| Wide shunt current range | 60µA min ensures operation in ultra-low-power sleep states |
| Low wideband noise | 45µVRMS enables use in high-resolution data acquisition without added filtering |

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 (2.5V setpoint), 0.5% initial accuracy, 90ppm/°C tempco, SOT23-3 | Requires external resistors to set 3.0V; higher tempco increases drift in wide-temp environments | Select when adjustable output or cost sensitivity outweighs precision and tempco requirements |
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | Fixed 3.0V, 0.1% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C max tempco, SOT23-5 | Higher accuracy and lower tempco but larger 5-pin package and higher quiescent current (120µA min) | Select when highest stability is critical and board space allows SOT23-5 footprint |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and ADR3430ARJZ-R7, the LM4050BIM3-3.0 offers optimal balance of SC70-3 size, 0.2% accuracy, 50ppm/°C tempco, and 60µA minimum current-making it ideal for space- and power-constrained industrial and portable systems where moderate precision suffices.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LM4050BIM3-3.0?
The LM4050BIM3-3.0 is fully specified and guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. All electrical parameters-including output voltage, tempco, and dynamic impedance-are tested and warranted across this full industrial temperature range per Maxim's datasheet revision 3.
Does LM4050BIM3-3.0 require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4050BIM3-3.0 does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal compensation ensures stability with any capacitive load, eliminating the need for external components and reducing BOM cost and layout complexity in designs such as portable instrumentation and sensor nodes.
What is the minimum shunt current needed for LM4050BIM3-3.0 to maintain regulation?
The LM4050BIM3-3.0 requires a minimum shunt current of 60µA to maintain regulation at 3.000V output. This value is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range and enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications.
How does the LM4050BIM3-3.0 compare to the LM4050AIM3-3.0 in terms of accuracy?
The LM4050BIM3-3.0 has 0.2% initial accuracy (±6.0mV), while the LM4050AIM3-3.0 offers tighter 0.1% accuracy (±3.0mV). Both share identical SC70-3 packaging, tempco (50ppm/°C max), and operating current range. Choose LM4050BIM3-3.0 when cost and performance trade-offs favor moderate precision with proven field reliability.
Can Pin 3 of LM4050BIM3-3.0 be left unconnected or must it be grounded?
Pin 3 of the LM4050BIM3-3.0 is marked N.C. (No Connection) and must either be left floating or connected directly to Pin 2 (−). It has no internal connection and grounding it separately may introduce noise or unintended paths; tying it to Pin 2 is electrically safe and commonly used in layout best practices.
