Product details
Overview
LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 3.3 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 LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB application, or LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (175–400 mV at 10 mA), line regulation (85 ppm/V), load regulation (25–120 ppm/mA), 0.1–10 Hz noise (310 µVPP), and stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB uses a band-gap-derived reference core with internal trimming for high initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its enable-controlled architecture allows seamless transition between active (60 µA) and shutdown (3–7 µA) states, with VIH/VIL thresholds defined at 65%/35% of VIN.
Designed as a series reference, it eliminates need for external stabilizing capacitor while maintaining stability with COUT ≤ 10 µF and low-ESR ceramic capacitors. Dropout is specified at 175 mV (typ) to 400 mV (max) at 10 mA load, enabling operation from VIN ≥ 3.475 V.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3033AIDBZR | 3.3 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA supply current, SOT-23-3 package (no EN pin) | Fixed 3-pin configuration; lacks enable control and requires external bypass cap for stability | Select when board space is constrained and shutdown functionality is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB?
The LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable operation, VIN must also remain ≥ VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥3.475 V) across the full load and temperature range to maintain regulation. The device is not designed for reverse-voltage or overvoltage protection.
Does LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes, LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB requires an input capacitor (CIN). Per TI's Application Information, CIN must be ≥ COUT, and if no output capacitor is used, CIN must be at least 0.1 µF. A ceramic X5R/X7R capacitor is recommended. Omitting CIN may cause instability or degraded noise performance, especially under dynamic load or noisy supply conditions.
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB (Grade B) has a guaranteed maximum temperature coefficient of 75 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C. This translates to a worst-case output deviation of ±9.9 mV (±0.3%) relative to 3.3 V across the full junction temperature range, in addition to its ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C - resulting in a total tolerance envelope of ±0.5% under worst-case conditions.
Can LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load?
Yes, LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR ceramic types. This capability eliminates need for external series resistance or compensation networks. However, larger COUT values increase turn-on time (e.g., 78.8 µs to 90% for 10 µF vs 33.2 µs for 1 µF) and may affect transient response speed.
Is LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the LM4128AQ/BQ/CQ/DQ variants (e.g., LM4128BQMF-3.3/NOPB) carry AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and are manufactured on an automotive-grade flow. The "B" grade in LM4128BMFX-3.3/NOPB denotes initial accuracy (±0.2%), not automotive qualification. For under-hood or safety-critical automotive use, the Q-suffix variant must be selected.
