Product details
Overview
LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower low-dropout voltage reference IC delivering a stable 2.048 V output with ±0.5% 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 LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT-23-5 package, ±5 mA source/sink capability, 160 µA typical supply current, and guaranteed performance across −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB implements a bandgap-based reference core with internal trimming for fixed 2.048 V output, supporting both sourcing and sinking up to ±5 mA without external components. Its low 120 mV dropout enables operation from as low as 2.0 V input while maintaining regulation.
It features active power-down mode drawing <2 µA, thermal hysteresis of 0.5 mV/V over −40°C to +125°C, and output noise of 20 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) and 36 µVPP (10 Hz–10 kHz), making it suitable for 12-bit to 14-bit ADC/DAC biasing where stability and low noise are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal; enables precise 12-bit ADC full-scale alignment (e.g., 2.048 V = 4096 × 0.5 mV LSB). |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% (standard grade); ensures ≤10.24 mV absolute error at 25°C before calibration. |
| Tempco | 50 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C); contributes ≤10.24 mV drift over full industrial range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typ @ 1 mA; allows regulation from 2.17 V input-critical for single-cell Li-ion or 2.5 V rail operation. |
| Supply Current | 160 µA typ; supports >1-year battery life in 10 µA average-power IoT sensor nodes. |
| Output Drive | ±5 mA source/sink; directly drives ADC reference inputs, op-amp feedback networks, or DAC bias circuits. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and field instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (Package Drawing DBV), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm profile, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (1000 pcs/reel), moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Enable (EN) | Active-high digital control: pulls output to high-impedance and reduces supply current to <2 µA when low. |
| Pin 2 | Ground (GND) | Reference return path; connects to system ground plane to minimize noise coupling into output. |
| Pin 3 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| Pin 4 | Input (VIN) | Positive supply input; accepts 2.0 V to 6.0 V; requires ≥0.022 µF ceramic bypass capacitor for stability. |
| Pin 5 | Output (VOUT) | Stable 2.048 V reference; drives capacitive loads up to 1 µF (tantalum) or resistive loads down to 400 Ω. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 160 µA typical supply current enables multi-year operation from coin-cell batteries in portable meters. |
| Low Dropout | 120 mV typical dropout at 1 mA allows use with ultra-low-voltage rails (e.g., 2.2 V LDO outputs). |
| Power-Down Mode | EN pin reduces quiescent current to <2 µA-ideal for duty-cycled sensor front-ends and sleep-state power savings. |
| Source/Sink Capability | ±5 mA output drive eliminates need for external buffer op-amps in precision DAC/ADC reference paths. |
| Low Noise Performance | 20 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) and 36 µVPP (10 Hz–10 kHz) supports high-resolution 16-bit SAR and delta-sigma converters. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB has a guaranteed initial accuracy of ±0.5% at 25°C and a temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C. Over the industrial range (−40°C to +85°C), total output variation-including initial error and thermal drift-is typically within ±0.75% (±15.36 mV) relative to 2.048 V, verified by TI's SQC testing methodology.
Does LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB support sinking current, and how much?
Yes, LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB supports bidirectional output current: it can source or sink up to ±5 mA. This capability allows direct interfacing with op-amp inputs, DAC reference pins, or current-sinking LED indicators without external buffers-verified in Electrical Characteristics tables for both sourcing and sinking conditions.
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stable operation of LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB requires a minimum 0.022 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability, as specified in the APPLICATION HINTS section. Capacitance values up to 0.047 µF may use ceramic; larger values (up to 1 µF) require tantalum with an additional 50 pF capacitor between VOUT and REF pins per TI's Figure 19 guidance.
Can LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB operate from a 2.0 V supply?
Yes-LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB operates with input voltages as low as 2.0 V, enabled by its 120 mV typical dropout voltage at 1 mA. At 2.0 V input and 1 mA load, the output remains regulated at 2.048 V minus dropout (≤1.88 V min), satisfying the 2.0 V lower limit specified in Operating Range and Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Is LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other members of the LM4125 family?
Yes-LM4125IM5-2.0/NOPB shares identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, pinout, and footprint with LM4125IM5-2.5/NOPB and LM4125AIM5-2.5/NOPB. All variants use Pin 1 (EN), Pin 2 (GND), Pin 3 (NC), Pin 4 (VIN), and Pin 5 (VOUT), enabling drop-in replacement across voltage options and grade variants without PCB changes.
