Product details
Overview
LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 2.5 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy (Grade B), 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode, supports up to 20 mA load, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), line regulation (50 ppm/V), load regulation (25–120 ppm/mA), and stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference core with active error correction, enabling high initial accuracy and low thermal drift across its full operating temperature range. Its enable-controlled architecture allows seamless integration into power-gated systems while maintaining fast turn-on time (typically 33.2 µs with 1 µF load).
Designed as a series reference, it eliminates idle current waste typical of shunt types and achieves low dropout (175–400 mV) by optimizing pass-element drive and feedback loop stability. The device remains stable with ceramic output capacitors up to 10 µF and requires only a minimum 0.1 µF input capacitor (CIN ≥ COUT).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy (Grade B) - ensures ≤±5 mV absolute error at 25°C for 12-bit ADC biasing |
| Temperature Coefficient | 75 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ≤18.75 ppm over 0–25°C ambient, critical for precision sensor signal chains |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA-sleep IoT nodes when paired with enable control |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - reduces system standby power by >90% vs active mode |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - supports operation from 2.675 V input, compatible with single-cell LiFePO₄ or dual-cell alkaline |
| Output Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 275 µVPP - meets <1 LSB noise requirement for 16-bit 2.5 V full-scale SAR ADCs |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains ≤0.3 mV shift from 0 to 20 mA load, suitable for driving DAC buffers and op-amp references |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 0.95 mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect); pin assignments are verified per TI SNVS475E datasheet Figure 2 and PIN DESCRIPTIONS table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating; no internal connection - avoids unintended parasitic coupling or ESD path |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return for reference core and enable logic; requires dedicated ground plane tie |
| 3 (EN) | Active-high enable input | Accepts 0 V (shutdown) or ≥65% of VIN (active); internal 2 µA pull-up allows direct VIN tie if unused |
| 4 (VIN) | Unregulated input supply | Operates from VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision 2.5 V output | Delivers stable reference to downstream converters, ADCs, or comparators; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces quiescent current to ≤7 µA, enabling ultra-low-power duty-cycled sensing in portable equipment |
| No external stabilization capacitor required | Eliminates BOM cost and layout area for compensation cap while ensuring stability with 10 µF output capacitance |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors | Supports X5R/X7R MLCCs without oscillation risk - simplifies filtering and improves transient response |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Limits output current to 75 mA during fault, preventing thermal runaway and enabling robust field deployment |
| −40°C to +125°C junction operation | Validated performance across automotive under-hood and industrial control environments without derating |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB supports up to 20 mA output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. At 10 mA load, dropout voltage is guaranteed ≤400 mV; output voltage deviation remains within ±120 ppm/mA load regulation limits across the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range. Exceeding 20 mA may trigger short-circuit limiting at 75 mA.
Does LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No - LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB is stable without an external output capacitor and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF. An optional COUT improves load transient response but extends turn-on time; CIN ≥ COUT is required, with minimum CIN = 0.1 µF when COUT = 0. LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB's internal compensation eliminates need for external stabilization networks.
What is the enable pin logic threshold for LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB enable pin has a guaranteed VIH ≥65% of VIN and VIL ≤35% of VIN. With VIN = 3.3 V, EN must exceed 2.15 V to activate; below 1.16 V, the device enters 3–7 µA shutdown mode. Internal 2 µA pull-up allows direct connection to VIN if enable control is unused - no external resistor needed.
How does LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB perform under low-temperature conditions?
LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB is fully specified from −40°C to +125°C. At −40°C, dropout voltage remains ≤400 mV (10 mA), startup time extends to ≤10 ms under brown-out, and output noise increases marginally to ≤290 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz). Thermal hysteresis is limited to 75 ppm, ensuring repeatable 2.5 V output after thermal cycling.
Is LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB AEC-Q100 qualified?
No - LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive-grade versions, TI offers the LM4128Q series (e.g., LM4128BQMF-2.5/NOPB), which are AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and manufactured on an automotive flow. LM4128BMF-2.5/NOPB is intended for industrial and commercial applications with extended temperature requirements but without automotive qualification mandates.
