Product details
Overview
LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/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 temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It supports 20 mA output current, features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode, and operates across −40°C to +125°C - ideal for automotive sensor signal conditioning and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade qualification, low dropout (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads, and absence of required external stabilization capacitor.
Technical Context
The LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference architecture optimized for low quiescent current and high PSRR. Its enable input controls a precision bias network that reduces supply current to ≤7 µA in shutdown while maintaining fast turn-on time (typically 33.2 µs into 1 µF).
It operates as a series reference with VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.448 V at 10 mA load), delivers stable output under load transients up to 20 mA, and maintains specified accuracy over full −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range without external compensation.
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 (≤±18.8 µV/°C drift over −40°C to +125°C) |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical (enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA-systems) |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA (EN = 0 V; enables ultra-low-power sleep modes) |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA (supports operation from single Li-ion or 3.3 V rail) |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA (≤±245 µV change over 0–20 mA load step) |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 190 µVPP (suitable for 16-bit ADC reference in precision DAQ) |
Pinout & Package
LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 1.27 mm pitch, rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and MSL Level-1 reflow profile.

|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AASA20+ | 2.048 V, ±0.06% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 0.9 µA IQ, but 8-pin SOIC package | Higher precision and lower drift, but larger footprint and no enable pin | Select when ultra-low tempco and long-term stability outweigh size and power-control needs |
| ADR3420ARJZ-R7 | 2.048 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5, no enable pin | Lower tempco than LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB but higher supply current and no shutdown mode | Select when tighter temperature drift is critical and system-level power gating replaces IC-level enable |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable regulation, VIN must be ≥2.448 V (VREF + 400 mV) across all load and temperature conditions. The device is not designed for input voltages exceeding 5.5 V, even momentarily.
Does LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. However, adding a 1–10 µF ceramic capacitor (COUT) between VREF and GND improves load transient response and reduces output noise - especially beneficial in ADC reference and fast-switching applications. COUT is optional but recommended for dynamic loads.
What does the 'Q' suffix in LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB signify?
The 'Q' in LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB indicates AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, meaning the device is manufactured on an automotive-grade flow and tested to operate reliably across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This includes stress testing for humidity, temperature cycling, and ESD per automotive standards - essential for under-hood and safety-critical applications.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The EN pin on LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is an active-high digital control input. When pulled ≥65% of VIN, the device operates normally; when held ≤35% of VIN, it enters shutdown mode drawing only 3–7 µA. The pin has an internal ~2 µA pull-up, so tying EN to VIN enables continuous operation. Floating EN is acceptable but not recommended for deterministic behavior.
Is LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB compatible with ceramic input capacitors?
Yes, LM4128AQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is explicitly designed for use with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R). A minimum 0.1 µF CIN is required between VIN and GND; larger values (4.7–22 µF) further reduce input noise and startup overshoot. TI confirms stability with ceramic dielectrics - no tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are needed or recommended.
