Product details
Overview
LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower shunt voltage reference in SOT-23 package, delivering a fixed 8.192 V reverse breakdown voltage with ±0.1% initial tolerance (A-grade), 50 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 150 μVrms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It operates from 74 μA to 15 mA over −40°C to 125°C and requires no output capacitor-enabling stable regulation in battery-powered data-acquisition systems and high-resolution ADC references.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8.192 V output for 12-bit DAC/ADC LSB alignment, low thermal hysteresis (2.3 mV), micropower operation down to 74 μA, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB implements a curvature-corrected bandgap shunt reference architecture with Zener-zap trim at wafer sort, ensuring ±0.1% accuracy at 25°C. Its internal compensation eliminates external capacitor requirements while maintaining stability across capacitive loads.
It functions as a two-terminal device: cathode regulates voltage relative to anode (ground), with current-sourced operation requiring an external series resistor (RS). Minimum operating current is 74 μA (typical) at 25°C, rising to 100 μA over full −40°C to 125°C range; dynamic impedance is 0.6 Ω at 1 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - enables exact 2 mV/LSB scaling for 12-bit converters operating from ≥10 V supplies. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.1% at 25°C (A-grade) - supports high-accuracy calibration without trimming in production test. |
| Temp Coefficient | ≤50 ppm/°C over −40°C to 125°C - ensures ≤±0.492 V total drift across full industrial+extended range. |
| Noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) | 150 μVrms at 150 μA - limits added uncertainty to <0.02% of full-scale in precision measurement front-ends. |
| Operating Current | 74 μA to 15 mA - allows ultra-low-power sensor nodes (<100 μA standby) and robust regulation under heavy load transients. |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 2.3 mV after −40°C ↔ 125°C cycling - defines repeatability error in systems subject to thermal cycling. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω at 1 mA, 120 Hz - maintains tight regulation during fast load current steps in closed-loop feedback paths. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package, 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size, 3-pin surface-mount configuration. Pin 3 is NC (no internal connection) and must be left floating or tied to pin 2 per TI layout guidance for EMI-sensitive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / regulated voltage node | Connects to supply via RS; voltage referenced to anode; carries all load + reference current. |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Ground reference / common return | Must be connected to system ground; serves as voltage reference point for VOUT. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Leave unconnected or tie to pin 2 only in high-EMI environments; not used for regulation or biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output capacitor required | Internally compensated for stability with any capacitive load - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for bypass caps. |
| Fixed 8.192 V output | Enables exact 2 mV/LSB resolution for 12-bit converters on ≥10 V rails - avoids resistor-divider errors and drift. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Rated for −40°C to 125°C operation with automotive flow manufacturing - suitable for engine control, ADAS sensors. |
| Low micropower start-up | Regulates stably from 74 μA (typical) - supports energy harvesting and coin-cell-powered instrumentation. |
| Low thermal hysteresis | 2.3 mV post-cycle shift - preserves calibration integrity in field-deployed equipment undergoing ambient temperature swings. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040C82IDCKR | 8.192 V, ±0.5% initial tolerance, 100 ppm/°C max TC, SOT-23, no AEC-Q100 qualification | Lower accuracy and higher drift - suitable for non-critical industrial controls but not automotive or metrology | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy and qualification requirements; verify thermal drift impact on system error budget. |
| REF5082IDR | 8.2 V, ±0.05% initial tolerance, 3 ppm/°C max TC, SOIC-8, series topology, 10 mA max load | Higher accuracy, lower drift, but larger package and series architecture - requires different biasing and cannot sink current | Choose for lab-grade instrumentation where 0.05% tolerance and ultra-low TC justify SOIC footprint and design rework. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB at 25°C?
The LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB has a ±0.1% initial output voltage tolerance at 25°C (A-grade specification), corresponding to ±8.192 mV around the nominal 8.192 V reverse breakdown voltage. This tolerance is verified at wafer sort using fuse and Zener-zap trimming, and applies specifically to the LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB variant per TI's SNOS455H datasheet Section 5.9.
Does LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor due to internal compensation. It remains stable with any capacitive load-including ADC input capacitance or PCB trace capacitance-eliminating the need for a dedicated bypass capacitor. This is confirmed in the "Features" and "Description" sections of the official TI datasheet.
What is the minimum operating current for LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB requires a minimum operating current of 74 μA (typical) at 25°C, increasing to 100 μA maximum over the full −40°C to 125°C extended temperature range. This value is specified in Section 5.9 "Electrical Characteristics: 8.2V Option" of the TI datasheet and is critical for maintaining regulation under cold-start or low-power conditions.
Is LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to 125°C), manufactured on an automotive-grade flow, and explicitly designated as LM4050-N-Q1 in TI documentation. This qualification covers stress testing, reliability validation, and process controls required for safety-critical automotive subsystems such as engine management and ADAS sensors.
How does thermal hysteresis affect LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB performance?
LM4050QBEM3-8.2/NOPB exhibits 2.3 mV thermal hysteresis-the voltage shift measured at 25°C after cycling between −40°C and 125°C. This mechanical stress-induced offset impacts calibration repeatability in field-deployed equipment but is fully characterized and bounded in TI's datasheet Section 5.9, enabling system-level error budgeting.
