Product details
Overview
LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 2.048 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It operates from VIN ≥ 2.448 V (VREF + 400 mV) up to 5.5 V, supports 20 mA output current, and features an enable pin for 3–7 µA shutdown mode-ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include initial accuracy grade (B = ±0.2%), dropout voltage at 10 mA (175–400 mV), load regulation (25–120 ppm/mA), 0.1–10 Hz noise (190 µVPP), and compatibility with ceramic capacitive loads up to 10 µF without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference core with active error correction to achieve low drift and high stability. Its enable architecture incorporates a 2 µA internal pull-up, allowing direct connection to VIN or external logic control, with VIH ≥ 65% VIN and VIL ≤ 35% VIN thresholds.
It eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and achieves thermal hysteresis of 75 ppm over −40°C to +125°C. The device is specified for operation across the full automotive-grade junction temperature range and exhibits indefinite short-circuit protection limiting output current to 75 mA.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V across its operating temperature range. Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage, as absolute maximum rating is 6 V. Input voltage must also remain ≥2.448 V (VREF + 400 mV) to maintain regulation at 10 mA load, per datasheet Section 6.3.
Does LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes, LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) connected between VIN and GND. This capacitor is mandatory for stability and noise suppression; omitting it may cause oscillation or degraded transient response. CIN must be ≥ COUT if an output capacitor is used.
What is the output noise specification for LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB?
LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB delivers 190 µVPP (peak-to-peak) output noise over the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz bandwidth, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for LM4128-2.0 devices. This low noise supports high-resolution ADCs without additional filtering stages.
Can LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load?
Yes, LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, per datasheet Section 1.2 and Figure 13. No external series resistor or compensation network is required-this is a key differentiator from many competing references.
What does the 'B' grade signify in LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB?
The 'B' in LM4128BMF-2.0/NOPB denotes Grade B initial accuracy: ±0.2% at 25°C. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables for LM4128-2.0, where LM4128B-2.0 shows −0.2% to +0.2% limits. Grade B balances cost and performance for applications needing better than Grade C (±0.5%) but not Grade A (±0.1%).
