Product details
Overview
LM4050BIM3-8.2/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 supply current and supports industrial (−40°C to +85°C) and extended (−40°C to +125°C) temperature ranges - ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-output-capacitor-required operation, capacitive-load tolerance, low dynamic impedance (0.6 Ω at 1 mA), thermal hysteresis of 2.3 mV, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use cases where long-term stability (120 ppm after 1000 hrs) and minimal layout dependency are critical.
Technical Context
The LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB uses bandgap-derived Zener-zap trimmed shunt architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation. Its reverse breakdown voltage is set during wafer sort via fuse and Zener-zap trimming to ensure ±0.2% accuracy at 25°C across the B-grade population.
It functions as a two-terminal shunt regulator: cathode accepts input current and sets output voltage via reverse conduction; anode connects to system ground; pin 3 is NC. Stability is maintained without external capacitance and remains robust under capacitive loads up to 10 nF due to low dynamic impedance and optimized internal compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage at 150 μA test current - defines precise reference point for analog signal conditioning and data converter calibration. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.2% at 25°C (B-grade) - enables single-point calibration in production without trimming for mid-precision applications. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤50 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C - ensures ≤±4.2 mV total drift across full range, critical for temperature-varying measurement systems. |
| Operating Current | 74 μA min to 15 mA max - supports ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-current reference buffering without external series resistor redesign. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω at 1 mA, 120 Hz - minimizes load-induced voltage variation, enabling stable reference for multiplexed ADC inputs. |
| Wideband Noise | 150 μVrms, 10 Hz–10 kHz - limits quantization uncertainty in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems requiring clean DC bias. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hours - reduces recalibration frequency in field-deployed test equipment and energy metering platforms. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package, 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size, 3-pin surface-mount configuration with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 = Cathode (input/reference node), Pin 2 = Anode (ground return), Pin 3 = No Connection (NC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input and voltage reference node | Connects to regulated voltage rail; sinks all current not drawn by load - determines output voltage via reverse conduction characteristics. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Ground reference terminal | Must be connected to system ground; establishes common return path for shunt current and defines 0 V reference for output voltage. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Must remain unconnected or floating; soldering to PCB pad has no electrical effect but may impact thermal performance if used as heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Internal compensation eliminates need for external stabilization cap - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs like wearables. |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Stable with ≥10 nF load capacitance - enables direct driving of SAR ADC sample-and-hold inputs without isolation resistors. |
| Fixed 8.192 V output | Binary-aligned voltage matches 13-bit full-scale (213 = 8192) - simplifies gain scaling in digital multimeters and programmable logic controller analog I/O modules. |
| Low quiescent current | 74 μA minimum operating current - extends battery life in portable calibrators and handheld test instruments operating >100 hrs on coin cells. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Rated for −40°C to +125°C ambient with automotive reliability testing - supports engine control unit (ECU) sensor reference and ADAS power management subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040BIM3-8.2/NOPB | Higher 100 μA minimum operating current; 75 ppm/°C tempco; 100 μVrms noise - less stable over temperature and higher power. | Limited to lower-precision industrial controls where cost outweighs long-term drift budget. | Select when BOM cost reduction is prioritized over metrology-grade stability and low-noise performance. |
| REF5040AIDBZR | Series reference (not shunt); 4.096 V output; 3 ppm/°C tempco; 4.8 μVpp noise - superior accuracy but requires external pass transistor for >10 mA loads. | Suitable for high-precision lab equipment and calibration standards where layout complexity is acceptable. | Choose only when absolute lowest drift and noise are mandatory and system can accommodate series topology and larger footprint. |
Compared with LM4040BIM3-8.2/NOPB, the LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB delivers tighter initial tolerance and lower tempco at identical price point; versus REF5040AIDBZR, it offers simpler two-terminal integration and lower quiescent current but trades off ultimate precision for ease of use in embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB at 25°C?
The LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 74 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation within specification. This value increases slightly to 95 μA over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and reaches 100 μA in the extended range (−40°C to +125°C), as confirmed in Section 6.9 of the SNOS455G datasheet.
Does LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal design ensures unconditional stability with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC sample-and-hold inputs or op-amp feedback networks - a key advantage over older shunt references like the TL431.
Is LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB is part of the LM4050-N-Q1 family and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for automotive cabin sensors, body control modules, and non-safety-critical ADAS subsystems where precision voltage referencing is needed under harsh thermal conditions.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB exhibits 2.3 mV thermal hysteresis over a −40°C to +125°C temperature cycle, defined as the voltage difference measured at 25°C after cycling to both extremes. This value is specified in Table 6.9 of the SNOS455G datasheet and directly impacts repeatability in field-repairable test equipment.
How does the wideband noise of LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB affect 16-bit ADC performance?
With 150 μVrms noise over 10 Hz–10 kHz, the LM4050BIM3-8.2/NOPB contributes ≈0.3 LSB of noise to a 16-bit ADC using an 8.192 V reference (LSB = 125 μV). This meets typical ENOB requirements for industrial data loggers and ensures effective resolution remains ≥15.5 bits without additional filtering.
