Product details
Overview
LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 1.8 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy (B grade), 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode and supports up to 20 mA load current - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB pinout, LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB application, or LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (200–400 mV at 10 mA), line regulation (30 ppm/V), load regulation (25–120 ppm/mA), and stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB uses a band-gap-derived reference core optimized for low quiescent current and high PSRR. Its enable-controlled architecture allows seamless integration into power-gated subsystems, with guaranteed operation from VIN = VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.2 V) up to 5.5 V.
Designed for direct replacement of shunt references in space-constrained layouts, it eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability with ceramic COUT up to 10 µF. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 75 ppm over −40°C to +125°C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy (B grade) - ensures ≤±3.6 mV absolute error at 25°C for 12-bit ADC biasing |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤±13.5 mV drift across −40°C to +125°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year runtime on a 200 mAh coin cell in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - reduces standby power by >95% vs active mode |
| Dropout Voltage | 200–400 mV at 10 mA load - supports operation from single Li-ion cell (3.0–4.2 V) or 2xAA alkaline (2.4–3.2 V) |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains ≤±0.22 mV output shift when sourcing 0–20 mA |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 170 µVPP - suitable for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without additional filtering |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 0.95 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-178 compliant, and RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect); pin 2 is GND; pin 3 is EN; pin 4 is VIN; pin 5 is VREF.

| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference core and enable circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system AGND |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Digital enable input | Active-high control: VIH ≥65% VIN, VIL ≤35% VIN; internal 2 µA pull-up allows direct tie-to-VIN for always-on operation |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.2 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF by ≥400 mV at full load to maintain regulation |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision output | 1.8 V reference source capable of sourcing/sinking up to ±20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF ceramic capacitive loads |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3018AIDBZR | Fixed 1.8 V, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 - no enable pin, lower quiescent current but no shutdown mode | Lacks enable control; unsuitable for duty-cycled systems requiring deep sleep states | Select when minimal IQ is critical and enable functionality is unnecessary |
| ADR3418ARTZ-R7 | 1.8 V, 10 ppm/°C max tempco, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - higher accuracy and stability, but 2× higher supply current | Better for metrology-grade instruments where long-term drift dominates power budget | Select when ±0.05% initial accuracy and <10 ppm/°C tempco justify increased IQ and cost |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB to regulate properly?
The LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV, i.e., ≥2.2 V at 10 mA load. At lighter loads, dropout decreases - e.g., 200 mV typical at 10 mA - but design margin should retain the 400 mV minimum to ensure regulation across temperature and process variation. Below this threshold, output voltage collapses nonlinearly.
Does LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB require an input capacitor, and if so, what value is recommended?
Yes - LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (X5R/X7R) per TI SNVS475E. When using an output capacitor (COUT), CIN must satisfy CIN ≥ COUT. For best noise performance and startup overshoot suppression, 4.7–22 µF input capacitance is recommended, placed close to the VIN and GND pins.
Can LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB drive a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor without instability?
Yes - LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR ceramic types. This eliminates need for series resistance or external compensation, distinguishing it from many older references that require careful COUT selection or damping networks.
What is the maximum load current LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB can source while maintaining specification?
LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB is specified to source up to 20 mA while maintaining output voltage accuracy within its load regulation spec (25–120 ppm/mA). Beyond 20 mA, short-circuit protection limits output current to ~75 mA, but regulation is not guaranteed - design must limit steady-state load to ≤20 mA for full parameter compliance.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB, and what logic levels activate it?
The EN pin on LM4128BMF-1.8/NOPB is active-high with internal ~2 µA pull-up. It activates (enables output) when voltage exceeds 65% of VIN (VIH), and disables (enters 3–7 µA shutdown) when pulled below 35% of VIN (VIL). Leaving EN unconnected defaults to enabled state via internal pull-up - no external resistor needed for always-on use.
