Product details
Overview
LM4050QBIM3-8.2/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 and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB application, or LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 8.192 V output matched to 12-bit ADC LSB scaling, low 74 μA minimum operating current, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4050QBIM3-8.2/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 up to 10 nF.
It functions as a two-terminal device: cathode regulates voltage relative to anode (ground), with dynamic impedance of 0.6 Ω at 1 mA and thermal hysteresis of 2.3 mV after −40°C/125°C cycling. The "Q" suffix confirms AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive applications.
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 ADCs operating from ≥10 V supplies. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.1% at 25°C (A-grade)-guarantees ≤±8.2 mV absolute error before temperature or aging effects. |
| Temp. Coefficient | ≤50 ppm/°C over −40°C to 125°C-limits drift to ≤±410 μV across full range, critical for metering accuracy. |
| Min Operating Current | 74 μA typical at 25°C-supports ultra-low-power operation in wake-on-event sensor nodes. |
| Max Operating Current | 15 mA-sets upper bound for series resistor sizing and power dissipation (max 280 mW at 25°C). |
| Wideband Noise | 150 μVrms (10 Hz–10 kHz)-directly impacts effective resolution in high-precision 16+ bit SAR ADC references. |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs-quantifies baseline voltage shift under continuous bias, relevant for calibration interval planning. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package, 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size, 3-pin surface-mount configuration with gull-wing leads. Pin 3 is NC (no internal connection) and must be left floating or tied to pin 2 per TI layout guidance for EMI-sensitive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / regulated voltage node | Connects to supply rail via series resistor; voltage referenced to anode; carries total current (IQ + IL). |
| Anode (Pin 2) | Reference ground / common return | Must be connected to system ground; serves as voltage reference point for all measurements and feedback paths. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Unused terminal; leave unconnected or tie to pin 2 only in high-EMI environments to reduce coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 8.192 V output | Eliminates external resistor divider; enables direct interface with 12-bit ADCs requiring 2 mV/LSB full-scale. |
| No output capacitor required | Reduces BOM count and board area; maintains stability with any capacitive load up to 10 nF. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (−40°C to 125°C) and lifetime reliability in safety-critical ECUs. |
| Low 74 μA min operating current | Supports energy harvesting and coin-cell operation in portable instrumentation and wireless sensors. |
| 50 ppm/°C max tempco | Ensures <±0.5% output variation over full industrial range-critical for precision analog front-ends in test equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4040QBIM3-8.2/NOPB | Higher 100 μA min operating current; 100 ppm/°C max tempco; same 8.192 V output and SOT-23 package. | Less suitable for ultra-low-power wake-on-event systems; acceptable for cost-sensitive automotive modules where 0.1% tolerance is not mandatory. | Select when lower precision (±0.5%) and relaxed tempco are acceptable, and supply current margin exceeds 100 μA. |
| REF5082IDBZR | Series reference (not shunt); 8.2 V output; ±0.05% initial accuracy; 3 ppm/°C tempco; SOIC-8 package. | Requires external bypass capacitor and higher quiescent current (1.1 mA); incompatible with shunt topology constraints. | Choose only if system architecture permits series configuration and demands sub-10 ppm/°C stability for metrology-grade applications. |
Compared with LM4040QBIM3-8.2/NOPB, the LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB delivers tighter initial tolerance and lower tempco at identical package size and voltage, while REF5082IDBZR offers superior stability but mandates redesign for series topology and larger footprint-making LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB optimal for space- and power-constrained shunt-based designs requiring AEC-Q100 compliance.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB?
The LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB is rated for −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. This extended range ensures reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial control cabinets where thermal stress is significant. The device maintains its ±0.1% initial tolerance and ≤50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient across this full range, as verified in TI's production testing.
Does LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB is internally compensated and does not require an external output capacitor for stability. It remains stable with any capacitive load up to 10 nF, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. While a bypass capacitor may be added for additional noise filtering, it is not necessary for basic regulation-unlike many older shunt references that demand strict capacitor selection.
How does the 8.192 V output of LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB benefit ADC applications?
The 8.192 V output of LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB provides exactly 2 mV per LSB for 12-bit analog-to-digital converters operating with ≥10 V supplies. This eliminates scaling errors and simplifies firmware calibration, directly supporting precision measurement in energy meters, data loggers, and test equipment where LSB-level accuracy is critical to system specification.
What is the minimum cathode current required for LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB regulation?
The LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB requires a minimum cathode current of 74 μA (typical) at 25°C to maintain regulation, increasing to 100 μA at −40°C to +125°C. This ultra-low threshold enables use in energy-harvesting systems and always-on sensor nodes powered by microampere-level sources, while still supporting up to 15 mA maximum current for higher-load applications.
Is LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4050 variants?
Yes, all LM4050xIM3 variants-including LM4050QBIM3-8.2/NOPB-share identical SOT-23 (DBZ) pinout and mechanical footprint. Pin 1 is cathode, Pin 2 is anode (ground), and Pin 3 is NC. This allows drop-in replacement across voltage options (2.048 V, 2.5 V, 4.096 V, 5 V, 8.192 V, 10 V) and grade variants (A/B/C, industrial/automotive) without PCB redesign.
