Product details
Overview
LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, precision micropower series voltage reference in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 2.048 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It enables low-power, high-stability analog signal conditioning in automotive sensor interfaces and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade qualification, enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), 400 mV dropout at 10 mA, stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB employs a band-gap–based series reference architecture with internal enable logic, supporting operation from VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V. Its design eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability across load currents up to 20 mA and capacitive loads up to 10 µF.
It features rail-to-rail enable functionality (VIH = 65% VIN, VIL = 35% VIN), indefinite short-circuit protection (75 mA limit), and thermal hysteresis of ≤75 ppm over −40°C to +125°C. The device meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements and is manufactured on an automotive-grade flow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V ±0.1% (A-grade initial accuracy ensures <±2.05 mV error at 25°C) |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max (≤±0.19 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C) |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical (enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA-sleep systems) |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA (EN = 0 V; reduces system standby power by >95% vs active mode) |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA (supports operation from 2.223 V input in low-voltage systems) |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA (≤±0.25 mV shift from 0 to 20 mA load) |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 190 µVPP (suitable for 16-bit ADC reference without external filtering) |
Pinout & Package
LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package - compact, surface-mount, thermally enhanced for automotive environments. Pin 1 is NC (no connect); pins are arranged top-view with standard DBV pinout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no internal connection or function |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal bias; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls up internally (~2 µA); drives device into 3–7 µA shutdown when low |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.448 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); powers internal band-gap and output stage |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision reference output | 2.048 V regulated output; capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128AQ1MF2.0/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 may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, VIN must also remain ≥ VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.448 V at 25°C) to maintain regulation.
Does LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes - LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) connected between VIN and GND. Per TI's application guidance, CIN must be ≥ COUT if an output capacitor is used. Omitting CIN risks instability, startup overshoot, and degraded noise performance. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for stable ESR across temperature.
Is LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4128 variants?
Yes - all LM4128xMF-x.x/NOPB variants (including LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB) share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout: Pin 1 (NC), Pin 2 (GND), Pin 3 (EN), Pin 4 (VIN), Pin 5 (VREF). Voltage option (e.g., 2.048 V vs 2.5 V) and grade (A/B/C/D) do not affect mechanical or electrical pin compatibility.
What is the typical turn-on time for LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB?
The typical turn-on time for LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB is 33.2 µs when driving a 1 µF capacitive load, and 78.8 µs with a 10 µF load - measured from EN rising to 90% of final 2.048 V output. Under cold-start or brown-out conditions (−40°C, low VIN), turn-on may extend up to 10 ms due to internal bias settling delays.
Can LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB drive a 10 kΩ load continuously?
Yes - LM4128AQ1MF2.0/NOPB can continuously source up to 20 mA, corresponding to a minimum resistive load of 102.4 Ω at 2.048 V. A 10 kΩ load draws only 204.8 µA, well within specification. Output voltage deviation under this load remains ≤±0.025 mV (25 ppm/mA × 0.2048 mA), per load regulation specs.
