Product details
Overview
LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 2.048 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C 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 automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, low dropout (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and absence of required external stabilization capacitor.
Technical Context
The LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference core with active error correction to achieve tight initial accuracy and low thermal drift. Its enable-controlled bias network allows seamless transition between 60 µA active operation and 3–7 µA shutdown state without output perturbation.
Designed as a series reference, it eliminates idle current waste typical of shunt types and achieves stable regulation with input-to-output differential as low as 175 mV (typical) at 10 mA load - enabling use in low-headroom battery systems down to ~2.2 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% (B grade); ensures ≤±4.1 mV absolute error at 25°C without calibration |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max; contributes ≤±15.8 µV/°C drift over −40°C to +125°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical; enables >1-year runtime on a 220 mAh coin cell at 10 µA system sleep current |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA; supports operation from single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or two alkaline cells (2.4–3.2 V) |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤35% VIN, VIH ≥65% VIN; compatible with standard CMOS logic driving VIN directly |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 190 µVPP; suitable for 16-bit SAR ADCs requiring <1 LSB noise floor at 2.048 V reference |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and 1.0 mm height - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and portable equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; floating per datasheet - no routing or soldering allowed |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return path for reference core and output stage; requires dedicated ground plane tie |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable control | Pulled internally to VIN via ~2 µA current source; driven low (<35% VIN) to enter 3–7 µA shutdown |
| 4 - VIN | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.448 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF by ≥400 mV for full 20 mA load capability |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 2.048 V; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads; COUT optional but improves transient response |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB supports up to 20 mA output current while maintaining regulation within specified accuracy limits. At 10 mA load, dropout voltage remains ≤400 mV; performance degrades gradually beyond 20 mA due to internal current limiting, with short-circuit protection engaging at ~75 mA. This makes LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB suitable for driving ADC references, op-amp bias networks, and small sensor excitation circuits.
Does LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes - LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) for stable operation. The datasheet specifies CIN ≥ COUT when an output capacitor is used, and recommends X5R or X7R dielectrics mounted close to the device. Omitting CIN risks oscillation or degraded line regulation, especially under dynamic load conditions. LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB does not require an external stabilization capacitor, unlike many legacy references.
Is LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified device, manufactured on TI's automotive-grade flow and rated for junction temperatures from −40°C to +125°C. Its LM4128BQ suffix explicitly denotes automotive qualification, including enhanced process controls, lot traceability, and stress testing per AEC standards. This makes LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules.
What is the shutdown current of LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB?
LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB draws 3–7 µA in shutdown mode when the EN pin is held low (<35% of VIN). This ultra-low standby current is enabled by an internal current-source pull-up (~2 µA) on EN, allowing direct connection to VIN for always-on operation or simple GPIO control for power gating. The 3–7 µA specification is guaranteed over −40°C to +125°C, supporting energy harvesting and long-life battery applications.
Can LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load?
Yes - LM4128BQ1MF2.0/NOPB is explicitly characterized for stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR ceramic types. Adding COUT improves load transient response when switching between light and heavy loads, though it increases turn-on time (e.g., ~78.8 µs to 90% with 10 µF). No series resistance or isolation is needed, and COUT is optional - the device remains stable without it, unlike many older references requiring careful compensation.
