Product details
Overview
LM4050BIX3-5.0 from Maxim Integrated is a precision 5.000V shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package, featuring 0.2% initial accuracy, ±15ppm/°C temperature coefficient (max), and 60µA–15mA operating current range. It delivers stable reverse breakdown voltage for ADC/DAC biasing, sensor excitation, and portable power monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050BIX3-5.0 datasheet, LM4050BIX3-5.0 pinout, LM4050BIX3-5.0 application, or LM4050BIX3-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed -40°C to +125°C operation, no external capacitor requirement, low 80µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), and SC70 footprint compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The LM4050BIX3-5.0 uses bandgap-based shunt regulation to maintain a fixed 5.000V output across its terminals when reverse-biased with 60µA–15mA current. Its internal laser-trimmed resistors ensure 0.2% initial tolerance at +25°C, and dynamic impedance remains ≤1.1Ω at 1mA/120Hz.
Temperature performance is specified over -40°C to +125°C with ±15ppm/°C typical TC and guaranteed 50ppm/°C max over full range. The device tolerates any capacitive load and requires no output capacitor for stability, simplifying layout in high-density systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±10mV at +25°C - precise reference for 12-bit+ data converters |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% (B grade) - enables single-point calibration in production test |
| Temp Coefficient | ±15ppm/°C typical, 50ppm/°C max - supports industrial-grade temperature stability |
| Operating Current | 60µA to 15mA - accommodates micropower sensors and higher-load analog front-ends |
| Output Noise | 80µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz) - low enough for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without filtering |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤1.1Ω at 1mA/120Hz - minimizes load-induced voltage droop during transient currents |
| Long-Term Stability | 120ppm after 1000h - predictable aging behavior for 10-year system lifetime estimates |
Pinout & Package
LM4050BIX3-5.0 is housed in a 3-pin SC70 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), 50% smaller than SOT23-3. Pin 3 is NC and must be left floating or tied to Pin 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (+) | Anode / Positive Terminal | Connects to regulated output node; sinks current into reference cathode |
| Pin 2 (−) | Cathode / Negative Terminal | Reference ground return; forms shunt path with external series resistor |
| Pin 3 (N.C.) | No Connection | Must remain unconnected or shorted to Pin 2 - not used for signal or thermal relief |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70-3 package | 1.8mm × 1.8mm footprint saves >50% board area vs. SOT23-3 in wearables and IoT nodes |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates BOM cost and layout risk while maintaining stability with any capacitive load |
| Wide 60µA–15mA shunt current range | Supports both ultra-low-power sensor interfaces and higher-current analog subsystems |
| Low 80µVRMS wideband noise | Enables direct use as reference for precision 16-bit ADCs without additional filtering |
| Guaranteed -40°C to +125°C operation | Validated for automotive under-hood, industrial PLC, and outdoor equipment deployments |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LM4050BIX3-5.0?
The LM4050BIX3-5.0 is fully specified and guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C. All electrical parameters-including 5.000V output voltage, 0.2% initial accuracy, and ±15ppm/°C temperature coefficient-are validated across this full industrial temperature range per Maxim's production test protocol.
Does LM4050BIX3-5.0 require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4050BIX3-5.0 does not require an external output capacitor for stability. It is designed to remain stable with any capacitive load, including direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces. This eliminates capacitor-related BOM cost, footprint, and reliability concerns in compact designs.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4050BIX3-5.0?
The minimum operating current for LM4050BIX3-5.0 is 60µA at +25°C, with 80µA maximum at +125°C. Maintaining ≥60µA shunt current ensures proper regulation and specified accuracy; below this threshold, output voltage may deviate outside guaranteed limits.
How does the pin configuration of LM4050BIX3-5.0 differ from standard zener diodes?
LM4050BIX3-5.0 uses a 3-pin SC70 package with Pin 1 (+) as anode, Pin 2 (−) as cathode, and Pin 3 (N.C.) unused. Unlike 2-terminal zeners, this 3-pin structure isolates the NC terminal to prevent parasitic coupling and allows unambiguous PCB layout-critical for low-noise precision references.
Can LM4050BIX3-5.0 be used in place of LM4050BEM3-5.0?
LM4050BIX3-5.0 and LM4050BEM3-5.0 share identical electrical specifications (5.000V, 0.2% accuracy, 50ppm/°C TC), but differ in package: SC70-3 vs. SOT23-3. They are functionally interchangeable where board layout permits, though SC70 reduces footprint by 50%. No circuit redesign is needed beyond pad adaptation.
