Product details
Overview
LM4050QBIM3X8.2/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, supports capacitive loads without external compensation, and targets high-accuracy analog signal chains in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB datasheet, LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB pinout, LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB application, or LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8.192 V output stability over −40°C to 125°C, no-output-capacitor operation, low dynamic impedance (0.6 Ω at 1 mA), thermal hysteresis of 2.3 mV, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB uses bandgap-based Zener-zap trimmed shunt architecture with curvature-corrected temperature drift compensation. Its reverse breakdown voltage is set during wafer sort via fuse and Zener-zap trimming to achieve ±0.1% accuracy at 25°C.
It functions as a two-terminal device requiring only an external current-limiting resistor, draws as little as 74 μA minimum operating current, tolerates unlimited capacitive loading, and maintains stability across 60 μA–15 mA operating range and −40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 8.192 V nominal reverse breakdown voltage - sets precise bias/reference point for ADCs, DACs, and sensor signal conditioning |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.1% at 25°C (A-grade) - enables single-point calibration in high-accuracy systems without trimming |
| Temp Coefficient | 50 ppm/°C max over −40°C to 125°C - ensures <±0.53 mV drift across full industrial+auto range |
| Min Operating Current | 74 μA (typical) at 25°C - allows ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed monitoring circuits |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.6 Ω at 1 mA, 120 Hz - minimizes load-induced voltage variation in dynamic current-sink applications |
| Wideband Noise | 150 μVRMS, 10 Hz–10 kHz - limits added noise in precision 16-bit+ data acquisition front-ends |
| Thermal Hysteresis | 2.3 mV over −40°C ↔ 125°C cycle - ensures repeatable reference voltage after thermal cycling in automotive ECUs |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package, 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size, 3-pin surface-mount configuration with exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL4050C82IDBZR | Same 8.2 V nominal output, ±0.5% initial tolerance (C-grade), higher 100 ppm/°C tempco, 100 μVRMS noise | Lower-cost option for non-critical industrial controls where ±0.5% tolerance is acceptable | Select when budget constraints outweigh need for A-grade accuracy and automotive qualification |

FAQ
What is the minimum operating current for LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB at 25°C?
The LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB has a typical minimum operating current of 74 μA at 25°C, with a maximum of 95 μA over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C) and 100 μA over the extended range (−40°C to 125°C). This low current enables use in battery-powered devices where quiescent power must be minimized. The LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB remains functional down to this threshold while maintaining regulation within specified tolerance.
Does LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB does not require an external output capacitor for stability. Its internal design eliminates the need for stabilization capacitance while remaining immune to oscillation with any capacitive load - a key advantage over older shunt references. This simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. The LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB achieves this through optimized die-level compensation and low dynamic impedance (0.6 Ω).
Is LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, and manufactured on an automotive-grade flow. It meets stringent reliability, ESD (±2000 V HBM), and long-term stability requirements for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body electronics. The LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB is explicitly designated as the Q1 variant in TI's documentation.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB?
The LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB exhibits 2.3 mV thermal hysteresis over a −40°C to +125°C temperature cycle, defined as the voltage difference measured at 25°C after exposure to −40°C versus after exposure to +125°C. This low hysteresis ensures repeatable reference performance in automotive and industrial applications subject to repeated thermal cycling. The LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB maintains this value across all grades and voltage options in the family.
Can LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB be used with capacitive loads exceeding 1 µF?
Yes, the LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB is explicitly characterized to tolerate unlimited capacitive loads - including ceramic, tantalum, and electrolytic types - without requiring series resistance or external compensation. This capability stems from its internal phase-margin optimization and low output impedance. Unlike many shunt references, the LM4050QBIM3X8.2/NOPB remains stable even when driving large ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces with significant parasitic capacitance.
