Product details
Overview
LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 1.8 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy (A-grade), 75 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It supports 20 mA output current, features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB pinout, LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB application, or LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include initial accuracy at 1.8 V, low dropout (200–400 mV), stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB employs a band-gap-derived reference core optimized for micropower operation and low thermal drift. Its internal architecture eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF - enabled by low-output-impedance design and integrated enable control logic.
It operates as a series reference with VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV (min 2.2 V at 10 mA load), delivers regulated 1.8 V output across full −40°C to +125°C junction range, and includes indefinite short-circuit protection limiting output current to 75 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V nominal, ±0.1% initial accuracy (A-grade) - ensures ≤1.8 mV absolute error at 25°C for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 75 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ≤16.2 µV/°C over operating range, critical for precision sensor signal chains. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable equipment with minimal quiescent power burden. |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - allows deep-sleep modes without external disconnect circuitry. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200–400 mV at 10 mA - supports operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or 2.5 V system rails with margin. |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains <±0.22 mV output shift across 0–20 mA load, suitable for driving op-amp references or ADC inputs. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 170 µVPP - low enough for 16-bit+ data converters without additional filtering. |
Pinout & Package
LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect); pins must be routed per TI's DBV mechanical drawing to ensure thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating - no routing or soldering allowed. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current; requires low-impedance connection to clean system ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; VIH ≥65% VIN, VIL ≤35% VIN - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level shifting. |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.2 V to 5.5 V; minimum headroom of 400 mV above VREF required for regulation. |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision output | 1.8 V reference source; stable with 0–10 µF ceramic capacitive loads; CIN ≥0.1 µF required on VIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 0.1% Initial Accuracy (A-grade) | Guaranteed at shipment - eliminates post-manufacturing trimming for cost-sensitive production calibration. |
| Stable Without Output Capacitor | Operates robustly with COUT = 0 µF - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| Low ESR Ceramic Capacitor Support | Validated with X5R/X7R types - avoids costly tantalum or polymer caps while ensuring transient response. |
| Indefinite Short-Circuit Protection | Limits output to 75 mA during fault - prevents device destruction and enables safe recovery without external fusing. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualified | Rated for −40°C to +125°C operation - meets automotive electronics reliability requirements without derating. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB?
The LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V across its full operating temperature range. This limit is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies regardless of load or enable state. Exceeding 5.5 V risks permanent damage to the internal band-gap circuitry and ESD protection structures. Always maintain VIN within 2.2 V to 5.5 V for reliable regulation.
Does LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes, LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) connected between VIN and GND. The datasheet explicitly states CIN is mandatory for stable operation and specifies CIN ≥ COUT when an output capacitor is used. Omitting CIN may cause oscillation or startup failure, especially under varying load or input conditions.
What is the function of Pin 1 (N/C) on LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB?
Pin 1 on LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB is designated N/C (No Connect) and must remain electrically floating - no trace, pad, or solder connection should be made. TI's datasheet confirms this pin has no internal bond wire or circuit connection. Routing or grounding Pin 1 may introduce parasitic coupling or mechanical stress that degrades reference accuracy or long-term stability.
Can LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load?
Yes, LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR ceramic types. This capability is confirmed in the "Features" section and validated in typical performance curves (e.g., Figure 13 Load Transient Response). No external compensation is needed, simplifying design for fast-load-switching applications like multiplexed ADC references.
Is LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4128AMFX-1.8/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C junction temperature), as documented in TI's official packaging addendum and datasheet Features section. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and lifetime reliability - confirming suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive electronics without additional qualification effort.
