Product details
Overview
LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 2.5 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy (A-grade), 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode and supports up to 20 mA load current - ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and operation across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB uses a band-gap–derived reference core optimized for low quiescent current and minimal thermal drift. Its enable-controlled architecture allows seamless integration into power-gated systems, with guaranteed turn-on time of ≤78.8 µs into 10 µF load.
It operates with input voltage as low as VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.9 V) up to 5.5 V, maintains stability without external output capacitor, and exhibits 275 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise - critical for 16-bit+ data acquisition systems requiring clean reference rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB supports up to 20 mA output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. At 10 mA load, dropout voltage remains ≤400 mV, and load regulation is bounded to 120 ppm/mA - ensuring reliable performance in active biasing and buffer-driving applications.
Does the LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB is internally compensated and stable with 0 µF output capacitance. An optional COUT (up to 10 µF) may be added to improve load transient response, but it is not required for stability - simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
What is the input voltage range for the LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB operates with input voltage from (VREF + 400 mV) = 2.9 V minimum up to 5.5 V maximum. This 2.9–5.5 V range supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion batteries, 3.3 V LDO outputs, and standard logic rails without additional regulation.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin is an active-high digital control: applying ≥65% of VIN enables the reference output; ≤35% of VIN places LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB in shutdown mode drawing ≤7 µA. Internal pull-up (~2 µA) allows direct tie to VIN if always-on operation is desired.
Is the LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
The LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified; only the LM4128AQ/BQ/CQ/DQ variants carry Grade 1 automotive qualification. For non-automotive industrial or consumer applications requiring −40°C to +125°C operation, LM4128AMFX-2.5/NOPB meets full temperature specification but lacks automotive process flow validation.
