Product details
Overview
LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, precision micropower series voltage reference in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 1.8 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It enables battery-powered instrumentation requiring stable low-drift references with shutdown capability.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB pinout, LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB application, or LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, automotive-grade thermal performance, enable-controlled power management, and real-world load regulation behavior across −40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived architecture optimized for low quiescent current and minimal dropout (200–400 mV at 10 mA). Its enable pin controls a 3–7 µA shutdown mode without requiring external circuitry, and it operates stably with capacitive loads up to 10 µF while eliminating need for output stabilization capacitors.
Designed for automotive and industrial environments, it features guaranteed −40°C to +125°C junction temperature operation, 50 ppm long-term stability over 1000 hours, and thermal hysteresis of ≤75 ppm - all validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements on an automotive-grade manufacturing flow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V nominal, ±0.1% initial accuracy ensures <±1.8 mV absolute error at 25°C for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max (A grade) limits drift to <±13.5 mV over −40°C to +125°C ambient range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical active current enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA-sleep systems with periodic wake-up |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA when EN = 0 V, reducing standby power by >90% vs active mode |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV min / 400 mV max at 10 mA load allows operation from 2.0 V input - compatible with single-cell LiFePO₄ or dual-cell alkaline supplies |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA ensures <±0.22 mV output shift across full 0–20 mA load range |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 170 µVPP supports 16-bit+ data acquisition without added filtering |
Pinout & Package
LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 220°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | 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 plane |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; VIH ≥65% VIN, VIL ≤35% VIN; drives internal regulator into 3–7 µA shutdown state when low |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.2 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | 1.8 V regulated output capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB?
The LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB supports up to 20 mA output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. At 10 mA load, dropout voltage is guaranteed ≤400 mV, and load regulation is bounded at 25–120 ppm/mA - ensuring predictable performance in active biasing and DAC reference roles.
Does LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is internally compensated and stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads, eliminating mandatory output capacitance. An optional COUT improves load transient response but extends turn-on time; CIN ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor remains mandatory for input stability.
What does the "Q" suffix in LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB signify?
The "Q" denotes AEC-Q100 qualification, and "AQ" confirms Grade 1 rating (−40°C to +125°C operation). LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is manufactured on an automotive-grade flow with enhanced process controls, lot traceability, and reliability testing per AEC-Q100 Rev H requirements.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB?
The EN pin is active-high: applying ≥65% of VIN enables normal operation (60 µA supply current); pulling ≤35% of VIN disables the reference, reducing supply current to 3–7 µA. Internal pull-up (~2 µA) allows direct connection to VIN for always-on use, or microcontroller GPIO for controlled power gating.
Is LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB compatible with standard SOT-23 PCB footprints?
Yes, LM4128AQ1MFX1.8/NOPB uses the industry-standard 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 0.95 mm pitch and 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm body size. It matches JEDEC MO-178AB and TI's DBV package drawing, supporting automated placement and reflow using MSL Level-1 profile (260°C peak).
