Product details
Overview
LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 4.096 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy (B grade), 75 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It supports 20 mA output load, features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB pinout, LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB application, or LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.096 V nominal output matching common 12-bit DAC full-scale references, low dropout (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads, and AEC-Q100–compatible automotive-grade variants.
Technical Context
The LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB uses a band-gap–based series reference architecture with internal enable control logic and rail-to-rail input compliance down to VREF + 400 mV. Its design eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability with ceramic output capacitance up to 10 µF.
It integrates indefinite short-circuit protection (75 mA limit), exhibits 350 µVPP low-frequency (0.1–10 Hz) noise at 4.096 V output, and achieves ≤75 ppm/°C tempco across −40°C to +125°C for B-grade devices - verified via box-method measurement per SNVS475E.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096 V ±0.2% (B grade) - matches standard 12-bit DAC full-scale reference and enables direct interface without scaling. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% at 25°C - ensures ≤8.2 mV absolute error in 4.096 V output, critical for <12-bit system accuracy. |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C) - contributes ≤0.375 mV drift over full range, supporting precision sensor signal chains. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring systems drawing <100 µA total. |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - allows dynamic power gating in duty-cycled data loggers without external switches. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA load - permits operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or regulated 4.5 V rails with margin. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 350 µVPP - limits RMS noise contribution to <120 nV/√Hz, preserving ENOB in 16-bit SAR ADCs. |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm), RoHS-compliant, with Sn lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect); pins are arranged top-view as: Pin 1=N/C, Pin 2=GND, Pin 3=EN, Pin 4=VIN, Pin 5=VREF.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no PCB trace or pad required - avoids parasitic coupling paths. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current and load current; requires low-impedance connection to clean analog ground plane. |
| 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 4.496 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); supplies internal band-gap core and output buffer. |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision reference output | 4.096 V source capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF ceramic capacitive loads (X5R/X7R). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces quiescent current to ≤7 µA, enabling firmware-managed power cycling in IoT edge nodes without hardware redesign. |
| Capacitor-free stability | Operates stably with no output capacitor - simplifies layout in space-constrained medical wearables where board area is premium. |
| Low 0.1–10 Hz noise | 350 µVPP output noise ensures <0.0085% peak-to-peak error in 4.096 V reference, meeting Class I precision instrument requirements. |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Self-limits output current to 75 mA during fault conditions - prevents thermal runaway and enables robust field-deployed test equipment. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified performance from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature - supports under-hood automotive sensors and industrial motor drives. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB delivers 4.096 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C and a maximum temperature coefficient of 75 ppm/°C across −40°C to +125°C. This results in a worst-case total error of ±0.2% + (75 ppm/°C × 165°C) ≈ ±0.324%, or ±13.3 mV, which is fully specified and tested per SNVS475E.
Does LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes, LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) connected between VIN and GND. Per TI's SNVS475E datasheet, CIN must be ≥ COUT if an output capacitor is used; omitting CIN risks instability and degraded noise performance, especially under transient load conditions.
Can LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load?
Yes, LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR ceramic types (X5R/X7R). This capability eliminates need for external isolation resistors and simplifies design of low-noise, fast-settling reference buffers in high-resolution data acquisition systems.
What is the shutdown current of LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB?
The LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB draws 3–7 µA supply current when the EN pin is driven low (0 V), placing it in shutdown mode. This specification is tested and guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C, enabling reliable ultra-low-power sleep states in battery-powered edge devices without external power switches.
Is LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, the LM4128Q series (e.g., LM4128BQMF-4.1/NOPB) is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and manufactured on an automotive-grade flow. For automotive use, specify the Q-suffix variant - LM4128BMF-4.1/NOPB is intended for industrial and commercial applications only.
