Product details
Overview
LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, precision micropower series voltage reference in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 3.3 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 LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB pinout, LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB application, or LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade qualification, enable-controlled 3 µA shutdown mode, 175–400 mV dropout at 10 mA, stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB employs 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 across load currents from 0 to 20 mA and output capacitance up to 10 µF.
It operates over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, supports input voltages from (VREF + 400 mV) to 5.5 V, and features built-in indefinite short-circuit protection limiting output current to 75 mA. The enable pin accepts logic-level inputs referenced to VIN, with 35% V and 65% V thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal, ±0.1% initial accuracy (Grade A) - ensures ≤±3.3 mV absolute error at 25°C for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ≤±31.7 µV/°C over −40°C to +125°C, critical for automotive temperature cycling |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables multi-year operation from coin cells in portable instrumentation |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - allows deep power gating in duty-cycled sensor nodes |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - supports regulation from 3.475 V input, compatible with single-cell LiFePO₄ or regulated 3.6 V rails |
| Output Noise | 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - suitable for 16-bit+ SAR ADC references without additional filtering |
| Load Capability | 20 mA max - drives multiple op-amp bias networks or ADC reference inputs simultaneously |
Pinout & Package
LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect); pins must be routed per TI DBV mechanical drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no PCB trace or thermal pad connection |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current; requires low-impedance connection to clean analog ground plane |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls up internally (~2 µA); ties to VIN for always-on operation |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 3.7–5.5 V; minimum headroom = VREF + 400 mV for full-load regulation |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision output terminal | Delivers stable 3.3 V; requires ≥0.1 µF input capacitor (CIN ≥ COUT if COUT used) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications operating from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature |
| Capacitor-free stability | Stable with no output capacitor; supports optional COUT up to 10 µF for improved transient response |
| Low-noise band-gap core | 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) enables direct use in 16-bit precision measurement front-ends |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Self-limits output to 75 mA during fault, preventing damage during board-level testing or ESD events |
| Thermal hysteresis | 75 ppm max - minimizes calibration drift after thermal cycling in engine control or ADAS modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AUT33+T | 3.3 V, ±0.06% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 0.9 µA supply current - higher precision but lower output drive (10 mA) | Better suited for ultra-low-power, high-accuracy applications like portable gas analyzers where load current ≤5 mA | Select MAX6126AUT33+T when sub-10 ppm/°C drift and <1 µA IQ are mandatory; avoid if >10 mA load or automotive qualification required |
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | 3.3 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 µA supply current - superior tempco but higher IQ and no enable pin | Ideal for industrial control systems needing tighter thermal drift but tolerant of constant-on operation | Select ADR3433ARJZ-R7 when thermal stability dominates over power budget and enable functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB, MAX6126AUT33+T offers better accuracy and lower IQ but lacks automotive qualification and 20 mA drive; ADR3433ARJZ-R7 delivers 7× lower tempco but doubles supply current and omits shutdown control - making LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB optimal for cost-sensitive, AEC-Q100-compliant designs requiring balanced performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB?
The LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V across its specified operating temperature range. Input voltage must remain ≥ (VREF + 400 mV) = 3.7 V to maintain regulation at full 20 mA load. Exceeding 5.5 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes, LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) placed close to the VIN pin. If an output capacitor (COUT) is used, CIN must be ≥ COUT. This ensures stability, reduces power-supply noise coupling, and improves startup overshoot behavior - omission risks oscillation or degraded noise performance.
What is the function of Pin 1 (N/C) on LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB?
Pin 1 of LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB is a no-connect (N/C) terminal with no internal connection. It must remain unconnected - neither tied to ground, VIN, nor left floating on a PCB trace. Routing to any net or applying solder paste may cause mechanical stress or parasitic coupling that degrades reference accuracy.
How does the enable pin (EN) operate on LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB?
The EN pin on LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB is an active-high logic input with internal ~2 µA pull-up. It asserts output when voltage exceeds 65% of VIN and disables output when below 35% of VIN. Driving EN directly from a microcontroller GPIO (3.3 V or 5 V) is valid; leaving it open connects it to VIN via internal pull-up for always-on operation.
Is LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB suitable for driving 16-bit ADC references?
Yes, LM4128AQ1MF3.3/NOPB is suitable for driving 16-bit ADC references: its 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise contributes <0.5 LSB error in a 3.3 V full-scale 16-bit system (LSB = 50.5 µV), and its ±0.1% initial accuracy and 75 ppm/°C tempco ensure total error remains within ±1 LSB over temperature - provided layout follows TI's low-noise grounding recommendations.
