Product details
Overview
LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 1.8 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current - optimized for automotive sensor signal conditioning and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB pinout, LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB application, or LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, grade-specific performance boundaries, automotive-grade thermal stability, enable-controlled shutdown behavior, and real-world load regulation data across −40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB implements a band-gap-derived series reference architecture with internal enable logic and no external stabilization capacitor requirement. It operates with input voltages as low as VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.2 V) up to 5.5 V and supports capacitive loads up to 10 µF while maintaining stability.
Its A-grade specification ensures guaranteed 0.1% initial accuracy and ≤75 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over full automotive junction temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), with 3 µA shutdown current when EN is pulled low and 25 ppm/mA load regulation up to 20 mA output current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V nominal, ±0.1% initial accuracy (A-grade) - enables 12-bit ADC biasing without calibration at room temperature |
| Tempco | ≤75 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C - ensures <±1.35 mV total drift across full automotive temperature range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical at 25°C - supports >1-year battery life in 10 µA-sleep IoT nodes with periodic 1.8 V reference activation |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max at EN = 0 V - reduces system standby power by >95% vs active mode |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV min / 400 mV max at 10 mA - allows operation from single-cell LiFePO₄ (2.8–3.6 V) or coin cell with margin |
| Line Regulation | 30 ppm/V from VREF+400 mV to 5.5 V - maintains <±0.054 mV output shift per volt input change |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 170 µVPP - suitable for 16-bit SAR ADCs requiring <1 LSB noise contribution at 1.8 V full-scale |
Pinout & Package
LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (Package Number DBV, R-PDSO-G5), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin (SN) lead finish. Thermal resistance θJ-A = 220°C/W enables 125°C junction operation at ≤10 mA load in standard PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; not internally bonded - avoids parasitic coupling or ESD path errors |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference core and enable circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to clean analog ground plane |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable input | Drives internal regulator when ≥65% of VIN; pulls to GND for 3 µA shutdown - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.2 V to 5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) placed within 2 mm of pin |
| 5 - VREF | Precision 1.8 V output | Delivers regulated 1.8 V with ≤25 ppm/mA load regulation; stable driving 10 µF ceramic or resistive-capacitive loads |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB is an A-grade device with guaranteed ±0.1% initial accuracy at 25°C and specified performance over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its maximum temperature coefficient is 75 ppm/°C, resulting in ≤±1.35 mV total output deviation across the full automotive temperature range - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for LM4128A-1.8 under boldface limits.
Does LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB require an external output capacitor to remain stable?
No, LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB is internally compensated and stable without any output capacitor. It remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and adding COUT (0.1–10 µF ceramic) improves load transient response but is optional. The datasheet explicitly states "The LM4128's advanced design eliminates the need for an external stabilizing capacitor" and confirms stability with up to 10 µF.
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB to regulate properly at 10 mA load?
The minimum input voltage for LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB is VREF + dropout voltage. At 10 mA load, the maximum dropout is 400 mV (per Electrical Characteristics), so minimum VIN = 1.8 V + 0.4 V = 2.2 V. The datasheet specifies "VIN Range of VREF + 400 mV to 5.5V @10 mA", and the A-grade dropout is tested down to 200 mV min - confirming reliable operation from 2.2 V input.
Is LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4128x variants?
Yes, all LM4128x variants - including LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB, LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB, and LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB - share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging, pinout, and footprint. The only differences are output voltage and grade marking; electrical behavior (enable function, shutdown current, thermal specs) is consistent across the family per the LM4128Q datasheet.
How does the enable pin (EN) of LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB interface with common microcontroller GPIOs?
The EN pin of LM4128AQ1MF1.8/NOPB is active-high with VIH ≥65% of VIN and VIL ≤35% of VIN. When VIN = 3.3 V, VIH ≥2.15 V and VIL ≤1.16 V - fully compatible with 3.3 V and 1.8 V CMOS outputs. The internal ~2 µA pull-up allows EN to be tied directly to VIN for always-on operation or driven by any standard GPIO without external components.
