Product details
Overview
LM4050CEM3-8.2/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 ±41 mV (±0.5%) initial tolerance at 25°C, 50 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 150 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) at 150 μA operating current. It serves as a compact, capacitor-free reference for high-resolution ADCs and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its C-grade 8.192 V output accuracy, 74–100 μA minimum operating current across −40°C to +125°C, no-output-capacitor operation, and SOT-23 thermal performance (RθJA = 287°C/W).
Technical Context
The LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB uses bandgap-based Zener-zap trimmed shunt architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation. Its dynamic impedance remains ≤0.6 Ω at 1 mA, enabling stable regulation under varying load currents from 74 μA to 15 mA.
It operates without external capacitors and tolerates any capacitive load-critical for space-constrained battery-powered systems. The device achieves long-term stability of 120 ppm over 1000 hours and thermal hysteresis of 2.3 mV after cycling between −40°C and +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage at 150 μA test current |
| Initial Tolerance | ±41 mV (±0.5%) at 25°C - defines C-grade accuracy for cost-sensitive precision designs |

Pinout & Package
LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB is housed in a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package measuring 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm, with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 3 is NC (no internal connection); pins 1 and 2 are functional terminals only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / reference voltage node | Connects to regulated supply rail; sinks all current not drawn by load - determines output voltage via IR drop across external resistor |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Common reference return | Must be tied to system ground; forms the 0 V reference point for the 8.192 V cathode potential |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Left floating or omitted in layout; no electrical function - avoids accidental shorting or parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Enables direct integration into space-limited PCBs without stability-compromising external components |
| Tolerates capacitive loads | Supports direct connection to ADC input capacitors or filtering networks without oscillation risk |
| Fixed 8.192 V output | Matches binary-scaled reference needs for 13-bit systems (213 = 8192), simplifying ratio-metric design |
| Industrial & extended temp range | Rated for −40°C to +125°C operation - suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Low quiescent current | 74 μA typical minimum operating current enables multi-year battery life in remote sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB | Higher min current (100 μA vs 74 μA typ), same 8.192 V, ±0.5% tolerance, but higher 200 μVrms noise | Lacks extended temperature rating (−40°C to +85°C only); unsuitable for automotive under-hood use | Select when lower cost is critical and extended temp range or lower noise is not required |
| REF5082IDBZR | Series reference (not shunt); 8.2 V output, ±0.05% initial accuracy, 3.5 μVrms noise, requires output capacitor | Higher accuracy and lower noise, but larger solution size and mandatory external capacitor | Select when ultra-low noise (<5 μVrms) and <±0.1% accuracy justify added complexity and footprint |
Compared with LM4040CIM3-8.2/NOPB, LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB offers extended temperature support and lower noise; versus REF5082IDBZR, it trades absolute accuracy and noise for zero-capacitor simplicity and minimal board area in shunt-configured systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB across temperature?
The LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB has a typical minimum operating current of 74 μA at 25°C, rising to 100 μA maximum over the full −40°C to +125°C range. This ensures reliable regulation even at elevated temperatures where leakage increases, and defines the lowest bias current usable in battery-powered designs without risking dropout.
Does LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB does not require an output capacitor. Its internal design eliminates the need for external stabilization, and it tolerates any capacitive load - a key advantage for compact layouts where board space is constrained and parasitic capacitance cannot be fully controlled.
What is the reverse dynamic impedance of LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB?
The reverse dynamic impedance of LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB is 0.6 Ω (maximum) at 1 mA test current and 120 Hz. This low value ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load conditions - critical for maintaining ADC reference accuracy in systems with variable current draw.
How does the 8.192 V output of LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB benefit data conversion systems?
The 8.192 V output of LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB corresponds exactly to 213, enabling seamless ratio-metric scaling in 13-bit and higher-resolution ADCs. This simplifies firmware calibration, reduces quantization error in binary-aligned systems, and improves effective number of bits (ENOB) in metrology applications.
Is LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4050-N-Q1 variant (e.g., LM4050CQEM3-8.2/NOPB), which is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and manufactured on an automotive-grade flow - LM4050CEM3-8.2/NOPB is rated for industrial and extended temperature ranges only.
