Product details

Overview

LM4050CEM3-5.0+T from Analog Devices is a precision 5.000V, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 50ppm/°C max temperature coefficient shunt voltage reference in SC70-3 package. It operates from 60µA to 15mA shunt current, delivers 80µVRMS wideband noise (10Hz–10kHz), and is rated for -40°C to +125°C. It serves as a stable reference in high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing and battery-powered sensor signal chains.

For engineers reviewing the LM4050CEM3-5.0+T datasheet, LM4050CEM3-5.0+T pinout, LM4050CEM3-5.0+T application, or LM4050CEM3-5.0+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5.000V reverse breakdown tolerance (±25mV at +25°C), no-output-capacitor stability, ultra-small 1.8mm × 1.8mm footprint, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use cases.

Technical Context

The LM4050CEM3-5.0+T implements a laser-trimmed bandgap core with two-terminal shunt topology, functioning as a precision zener-like element requiring only external series resistance for regulation. Its dynamic impedance is ≤1.1Ω at 1mA, enabling stable output under varying load currents from 60µA to 15mA.

It guarantees ±0.5% initial accuracy and ≤50ppm/°C tempco over -40°C to +125°C, with long-term stability of 120ppm after 1000 hours. The device tolerates any capacitive load and requires no external stabilization capacitor - a key differentiator from older shunt references.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
Output Voltage5.000V nominal reverse breakdown voltage, ±25mV tolerance at +25°C (Grade C)
Initial Accuracy±0.5% (±25mV) at +25°C - enables direct use in 12-bit systems without calibration
Tempco≤50ppm/°C over -40°C to +125°C - ensures <±6mV drift across full industrial range
Shunt Current Range60µA to 15mA - supports micropower sensing and higher-current DAC reference buffering
Wideband Noise80µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz) - suitable for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without added filtering
Dynamic Impedance≤1.1Ω at 1mA - minimizes output voltage shift under load transients
Long-Term Stability120ppm after 1000h - predictable aging behavior for mission-critical instrumentation

Pinout & Package

LM4050CEM3-5.0+T uses the 3-pin SC70 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 1.8mm), 50% smaller than SOT23. Pin 3 is NC (no connection) and must be left unconnected or tied to Pin 2.

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
Pin 1 (+)Positive terminal (anode)Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path; defines reference potential
Pin 2 (–)Negative terminal (cathode)Connected to regulated output node; sinks shunt current to maintain 5.000V
Pin 3 (N.C.)No connectionMust remain floating or shorted to Pin 2; not internally bonded - avoids parasitic coupling

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
TLVH431ACDBVRAdjustable (2.5V–36V) 3-terminal shunt; 0.5% initial accuracy; 90ppm/°C tempco; SOT23-3Requires external resistors for 5V setting; higher tempco limits high-temp accuracyChoose when adjustable output or higher voltage capability is needed; not drop-in for fixed 5V
MAX6008AEUR+TFixed 5.000V shunt; 0.2% initial accuracy; 50ppm/°C tempco; SC70-3; 65µA–10mA rangeTighter initial accuracy but narrower current range; lower noise (50µVRMS)Prefer for higher-precision applications where 0.2% accuracy justifies cost premium; same footprint

Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR, LM4050CEM3-5.0+T offers true fixed 5.000V operation and superior thermal stability; compared with MAX6008AEUR+T, it trades 0.2% accuracy for wider 60µA–15mA operating range and broader automotive qualification scope.

FAQ

What is the guaranteed reverse breakdown voltage tolerance for LM4050CEM3-5.0+T at +25°C?

The LM4050CEM3-5.0+T has a guaranteed reverse breakdown voltage of 5.000V ±25mV (±0.5%) at +25°C, as specified in the Grade C electrical characteristics table. This tolerance expands to ±50mV over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range due to its 50ppm/°C max tempco.

Does LM4050CEM3-5.0+T require an external output capacitor for stability?

No, LM4050CEM3-5.0+T does not require an external output capacitor. Its internal compensation ensures stability with any capacitive load, including zero capacitance. This eliminates layout sensitivity and reduces BOM count - a key advantage over many legacy shunt references.

What is the minimum shunt current required for proper regulation of LM4050CEM3-5.0+T?

The LM4050CEM3-5.0+T requires a minimum shunt current of 60µA to maintain regulation across its full temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). Below this threshold, output voltage accuracy degrades significantly; design must ensure ISHUNT ≥ 60µA under worst-case conditions.

Is LM4050CEM3-5.0+T qualified for automotive applications?

LM4050CEM3-5.0+T itself is not explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified per the datasheet; however, the /V suffix variants (e.g., LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T) are AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, select the /V version - LM4050CEM3-5.0+T remains suitable for industrial and commercial applications with identical electrical specs.

What package type and dimensions does LM4050CEM3-5.0+T use?

LM4050CEM3-5.0+T uses the SC70-3 surface-mount package with outline number 21-0075, measuring 1.8mm × 1.8mm × 0.9mm. Its land pattern (90-0208) supports reflow soldering, and thermal resistance is θJA = 340.4°C/W on a four-layer board.
