Product details
Overview
LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, precision micropower series voltage reference in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 2.5 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It enables stable 2.5 V biasing for high-resolution ADCs in automotive sensor modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB application, or LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, automotive-grade thermal performance (−40°C to +125°C), enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), and dropout behavior (175–400 mV) critical for battery-supplied ADAS subsystems.
Technical Context
The LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB uses a band-gap-derived reference core with internal enable logic and low-dropout series architecture. Its design eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads - enabling compact layout in space-constrained automotive ECUs.
It operates across VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V at load currents up to 20 mA, with guaranteed line regulation (50 ppm/V) and load regulation (25–120 ppm/mA) over full temperature range. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 75 ppm, supporting repeatable calibration in cyclic thermal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal, ±0.1% initial accuracy (Grade A) - ensures ≤2.5 mV absolute error at 25°C for 12-bit+ system calibration. |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±9.4 mV over −40°C to +125°C, suitable for engine bay temperature sensing. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in always-on vehicle telematics nodes drawing <10 µA average. |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - allows deep-sleep mode in CAN wake-up circuits without reference leakage. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - supports operation down to 2.675 V input, compatible with single-cell LiFePO₄ or degraded 12 V rail. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 275 µVPP - meets SNR requirements for 16-bit SAR ADCs in automotive current sensing. |
| Junction Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, validated for under-hood ECU deployment. |
Pinout & Package
LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 1.27 mm pitch, optimized for reflow assembly and thermal reliability in automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (N/C) | No-connect | Must remain unconnected and floating; no internal connection - avoids unintended parasitic paths. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return path for reference core; requires dedicated ground plane tie to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: VIH ≥65% VIN, VIL ≤35% VIN - interfaces directly with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO. |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.9 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF by ≥400 mV - enables use with post-regulated 3.3 V domains. |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision output | 2.5 V buffered reference source; drives up to 20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF ceramic COUT - simplifies ADC reference buffering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications requiring −40°C to +125°C operation and robustness against thermal cycling and vibration. |
| Enable pin with 3 µA shutdown | Reduces system standby power by >95% vs active mode - essential for ISO 16750-compliant sleep current budgets. |
| No external capacitor required | Stable with zero COUT; eliminates BOM cost and board area for decoupling - accelerates layout in tight ECU modules. |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Current-limited to 75 mA during output fault - prevents thermal runaway and preserves downstream ADC integrity. |
| Low 0.1–10 Hz noise (275 µVPP) | Enables <1 LSB error in 16-bit systems sampling at ≤10 kSPS - critical for high-fidelity battery cell monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AASA25+ | 2.5 V, ±0.02% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 0.9 µA IQ - higher precision but 5× cost and no enable pin. | Used in lab-grade test equipment where 0.02% accuracy justifies cost; not automotive-qualified. | Select when sub-10 ppm total error budget is mandatory and AEC-Q100 is not required. |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 µA IQ, no enable - superior tempco but higher supply current. | Favored in industrial data loggers needing ultra-low drift but tolerating higher power draw. | Choose if thermal stability dominates over quiescent current in fixed-power applications. |
Compared with MAX6126AASA25+ and ADR3425ARJZ-R7, LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB uniquely balances AEC-Q100 qualification, enable-controlled ultra-low shutdown current (3 µA), and SOT-23 footprint - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained automotive electronics where 0.1% accuracy suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB supports up to 20 mA output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. This enables direct driving of ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, or small DACs without external buffers - verified across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 testing.
Does LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB require an external input capacitor?
Yes - a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) is required on the VIN pin (CIN) for stable operation. The LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB datasheet specifies CIN ≥ COUT, and CIN must be placed close to the device. Larger values (4.7–22 µF) further reduce startup overshoot and supply noise coupling into the 2.5 V reference output.
What is the enable pin behavior of LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin of LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB is active-high with VIH ≥65% VIN and VIL ≤35% VIN. When pulled low, it reduces supply current to 3–7 µA. The internal pull-up (~2 µA) allows direct connection to VIN for always-on operation. EN must never exceed VIN to avoid malfunction - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics tables and Application Information section.
Is LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive use?
Yes - LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB is explicitly AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C), manufactured on an automotive-grade flow, and marked "LM4128AQ" in TI's packaging addendum. Its qualification covers thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress tests required for under-hood and cabin ECU deployment.
How does LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB handle short-circuit conditions?
LM4128AQ1MF2.5/NOPB features indefinite short-circuit protection, limiting output current to 75 mA when VREF is shorted to GND. This prevents thermal damage and maintains safe junction temperature during fault conditions - verified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure 14).
