Product details
Overview
LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T from Analog Devices is a precision 5.000 V, 0.5% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient shunt voltage reference in a 3-pin SC70 package. It operates over -40°C to +125°C with 60 µA to 15 mA shunt current capability and 80 µVRMS wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), enabling stable reference generation in automotive sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T datasheet, LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T pinout, LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T application, or LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed AEC-Q100 qualification, no external capacitor requirement, ultra-small SC70 footprint, and validated performance across full industrial temperature range without derating.
Technical Context
The LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T implements a laser-trimmed bandgap shunt architecture delivering fixed 5.000 V reverse breakdown voltage. Its internal pass transistor sinks load-dependent current to maintain regulation, eliminating need for series regulators or op-amp buffers.
It guarantees ±50 ppm/°C tempco over –40°C to +125°C, exhibits 1.1 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA, and tolerates any capacitive load without oscillation-enabling direct integration into ADC reference inputs, DAC bias networks, and battery-monitoring comparators.

| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% (±25 mV) at +25°C - enables single-point calibration in production test |
| Tempco | ±50 ppm/°C max - ensures ≤ ±5 mV drift over –40°C to +125°C ambient |
| Shunt Current Range | 60 µA to 15 mA - supports low-power sensor interfaces and high-current analog front-ends |

Pinout & Package
LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T uses a 3-pin SC70 surface-mount package (1.8 mm × 1.8 mm), 50% smaller than SOT23. Pin 3 is unconnected (N.C.) and must be left floating or tied to Pin 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (+) | Positive terminal (anode) | Connects to system ground or low-impedance return path; defines reference potential |
| Pin 2 (–) | Negative terminal (cathode) | Output node where regulated 5.000 V appears; connects to load and current-setting resistor |
| Pin 3 (N.C.) | No connection | Mechanical pad only; must remain unconnected or shorted to Pin 2 - no electrical function |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C50IDBZR | Same 5.0 V output, 0.5% accuracy, but ±100 ppm/°C tempco (vs. ±50 ppm/°C); SOT23-3 package | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; not rated for automotive under-hood environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs tempco and automotive qualification requirements |
| MAX6005EUR+T | 5.0 V output, 0.5% accuracy, ±75 ppm/°C tempco; SC70-3 package; 50 µA min current | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; higher 120 µVRMS noise limits use in high-resolution ADCs | Choose for non-automotive industrial designs where slightly larger noise budget is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T is +150°C. Its specified operating temperature range is –40°C to +125°C ambient, and thermal resistance θJA is 340.4°C/W on a four-layer board. At 15 mA shunt current and 5 V output, power dissipation reaches 75 mW, requiring careful thermal design to avoid exceeding the junction limit.
Does LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T does not require an external output capacitor. It is internally compensated and remains stable with any capacitive load - including 0 µF up to 10 µF - eliminating capacitor-related BOM cost, layout area, and aging concerns in the reference path.
Is LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1, –40°C to +125°C). The "/V" suffix explicitly denotes automotive qualification, confirmed in the official Analog Devices ordering information and datasheet revision history.
What is the minimum shunt current needed for LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T to regulate properly?
The minimum shunt current for LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T is 80 µA at +125°C and 54 µA at +25°C, per Electrical Characteristics table. To guarantee regulation across the full –40°C to +125°C range, design for ≥60 µA minimum shunt current - verified by worst-case resistor and supply voltage calculations.
How does the noise performance of LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T compare to other 5 V shunt references?
LM4050CEM3-5.0/V+T delivers 80 µVRMS wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz), which is lower than TL4050C50IDBZR (120 µVRMS) and comparable to MAX6005EUR+T (120 µVRMS). This enables direct use with 12-bit ADCs without added filtering, preserving signal integrity in precision measurement systems.
