Product details
Overview
LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower low-dropout voltage reference IC delivering a stable 2.048 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 120 mV typical dropout at 1 mA load-designed for high-accuracy analog signal chains in portable instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), ±5 mA source/sink capability, 160 µA typical supply current, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB uses a bandgap-based architecture with internal trimming to achieve tight initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its low dropout voltage enables operation with input as low as 2.0 V while maintaining regulation-critical for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems.
It supports bidirectional current flow (±5 mA), allowing use as both a reference and a precision bias source. Power-down mode reduces quiescent current to under 2 µA, making it suitable for intermittent-sampling applications where standby power must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V ±0.2% (A-grade; enables 12-bit ADC full-scale alignment without calibration) |
| Tempco | 50 ppm/°C (ensures ≤0.1% output drift over −40°C to +85°C ambient) |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typ @ 1 mA (allows regulation from 2.17 V input-ideal for low-voltage microcontroller rails) |
| Supply Current | 160 µA typ (supports >1-year battery life in 10 µA-average-power IoT sensor nodes) |
| Load Drive | ±5 mA (sinks/sources sufficient current to drive ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks) |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 20 µVPP (low enough for 16-bit SAR ADCs without external filtering) |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C (qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and test equipment) |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm body height, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (1000 pcs/reel), moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3020AIDBZR | 2.048 V output, ±0.2% accuracy, but higher 50 µA supply current and no enable pin | Lacks power-down mode-unsuitable for duty-cycled battery systems | Select when ultra-low quiescent current is not required and board space allows larger SOT-23-3 footprint |
| ADR3420ARJZ-R7 | 2.048 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30 ppm/°C tempco, but 180 µA supply current and no sink capability | Cannot sink current-limits use in active bias or current-source configurations | Choose for highest accuracy in fixed-supply industrial PLC modules where bidirectional drive is unnecessary |
Compared with REF3020AIDBZR and ADR3420ARJZ-R7, the LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB uniquely combines micropower operation (160 µA), true bidirectional ±5 mA drive, and integrated enable-making it the only option among the three that supports low-duty-cycle, high-precision sensor front-ends with active signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage on the IN pin of LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB is 8 V. However, the recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 6.0 V per the datasheet. Exceeding 6 V may increase power dissipation beyond safe limits and degrade long-term stability. The device includes an internal parasitic diode between IN and OUT, so reverse voltage conditions must be avoided.
Does LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor, and if so, what value is recommended?
Yes, LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB requires a minimum 0.022 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability, as confirmed in the "Application Hints" section of the datasheet. Values up to 0.1 µF ceramic are fully supported; larger values (up to 1 µF) require tantalum construction and additional 50 pF compensation. Omitting the capacitor risks oscillation and degraded noise performance in LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB circuits.
Can LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB sink current, and how much is guaranteed?
Yes, LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB is specified to sink up to −5 mA while maintaining output voltage regulation within ±0.17%/mA load regulation. This bidirectional capability is explicitly documented in the "Features" and "Electrical Characteristics" tables, enabling its use in active bias networks, current-source topologies, and op-amp level-shifting circuits where sinking is required.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB, and how does it affect system calibration?
LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB has a thermal hysteresis of 0.5 mV/V, measured as the output voltage shift at +25°C before and after cycling between −40°C and +125°C. For the 2.048 V output, this translates to ~1 mV max hysteresis-equivalent to ~0.05% full-scale error. In high-accuracy calibration workflows, this effect must be accounted for during temperature soak-and-measure procedures.
Is LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other members of the LM4125 family, such as the 2.5 V or 4.096 V variants?
Yes, all LM4125 variants-including LM4125AIM5-2.0/NOPB, LM4125AIM5-2.5/NOPB, and LM4125AIM5-4.096/NOPB-share identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) packaging and pinout. The only differences are output voltage and corresponding device marking (R80A for 2.048 V). No PCB layout changes are needed when substituting between fixed-voltage options within the same grade (A or standard).
