Product details
Overview
LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 2.048 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy (A-grade), 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It operates from VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV up to 5.5 V and supports up to 20 mA load current - ideal for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, enable-controlled shutdown behavior, and real-world stability metrics across −40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference core with active error correction, enabling stable 2.048 V output without external compensation capacitors. Its enable pin controls a low-leakage internal switch that reduces quiescent current to 3–7 µA in shutdown mode while preserving output integrity during transitions.
Designed for capacitive loads up to 10 µF, it maintains stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors and exhibits 190 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise. Dropout voltage is specified at 175–400 mV (ILOAD = 10 mA), supporting operation from single Li-ion or dual alkaline cells.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV, i.e., ≥2.448 V, to maintain output regulation within specifications at 10 mA load. Below this, dropout behavior occurs - output voltage drops linearly with input. At lighter loads, operation down to 2.25 V may be possible but is not guaranteed per datasheet limits.
Does LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor for stability?
No - LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB is internally compensated and stable with or without COUT. An optional 0.1–10 µF ceramic capacitor on VREF improves load transient response but is not needed for basic stability. Input capacitor CIN ≥ 0.1 µF is mandatory.
What is the actual output voltage tolerance of LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB over temperature?
LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB (A-grade) guarantees ±0.1% initial accuracy at 25°C and 75 ppm/°C max tempco over −40°C to +125°C. Total worst-case deviation is ±0.1% + (75 ppm × 165°C) ≈ ±0.224%, or ±4.6 mV around 2.048 V - confirmed by TI's "Box method" characterization.
How does the enable pin (EN) behave when left unconnected on LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB?
LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB features an internal ~2 µA pull-up current source on EN. When left floating, EN rises to VIN level, enabling the device. For guaranteed disable, EN must be actively driven below 35% VIN (e.g., to GND). Do not rely on open-circuit disable behavior.
Can LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes - LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB is characterized stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR ceramic types. This capability eliminates need for series isolation resistors and simplifies filtering in high-precision signal chains using the LM4128AMF-2.0/NOPB reference.
