Product details
Overview
LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 2.5 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode and supports up to 20 mA load current - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB application, or LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade 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 LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB implements a band-gap-derived series reference architecture with internal enable control logic and thermal compensation. Its design eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability across 0–10 µF capacitive loads and −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
It operates with VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.9 V at 10 mA load), delivers 2.5 V output with 275 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) noise, and provides indefinite short-circuit protection limiting output current to 75 mA. The enable pin accepts 35–65% of VIN as valid logic thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy (B grade) - ensures ≤±5 mV absolute error at 25°C for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ≤±18.75 mV over −40°C to +125°C span, critical for industrial sensor calibration |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable test equipment |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - reduces standby power by >90% vs active mode for duty-cycled systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - allows operation from single Li-ion cell (3.0–4.2 V) with margin for aging and discharge |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains ≤±0.3 mV output shift across full 0–20 mA load range, suitable for precision current sources |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 275 µVPP - supports 16-bit+ resolution in low-frequency measurement front-ends without additional filtering |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (Package Number DBV, R-PDSO-G5), with 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint and 1.1 mm height. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect); pins are arranged top-view counterclockwise from mark dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating - no PCB trace or pad connection permitted |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal bias; requires low-impedance connection to clean analog ground plane |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls up internally (~2 µA); drives device into 3–7 µA shutdown when <35% VIN |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.9–5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (CIN) per layout guidelines |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision reference output | 2.5 V regulated output capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with COUT up to 10 µF; requires no mandatory output capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for automotive applications with guaranteed operation from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature |
| No external stabilization capacitor required | Reduces BOM count and PCB area vs legacy references; simplifies layout and improves reliability |
| Stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads | Enables direct driving of ADC sample capacitors, op-amp inputs, and DAC reference pins without phase-margin risk |
| Low ESR ceramic capacitor compatible | Supports X5R/X7R MLCCs for cost-effective, space-efficient decoupling without tantalum or electrolytic parts |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Withstands continuous output-to-ground fault without damage or parameter shift - critical for field-repairable systems |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 - no enable pin, 3-pin package | Lacks shutdown control; unsuitable where power cycling or ultra-low standby current is required | Select when board space is constrained and enable functionality is unnecessary |
| MAX6025BEUR+T | 2.5 V, ±0.15% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 35 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - includes enable, but not AEC-Q100 qualified | Superior accuracy/tempco, but lacks automotive qualification; limited to commercial/industrial use | Select for higher-precision non-automotive designs where TI's Grade B tolerance is insufficient |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB is rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, meaning it meets automotive reliability standards for operation across this full range. This specification is validated per TI's production testing and applies to all electrical parameters unless otherwise noted in the datasheet. LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB maintains its ±0.2% initial accuracy and 75 ppm/°C tempco across this span.
Does LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB is stable without an output capacitor and does not require one for basic operation. However, adding a 0.1–10 µF ceramic capacitor (COUT) between VREF and GND improves load transient response - especially during rapid current steps - and reduces output noise. The datasheet confirms stability with up to 10 µF COUT, and CIN ≥ COUT is recommended if COUT is used. LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB remains stable even with no COUT installed.
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB to regulate at 2.5 V?
The minimum input voltage for LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB is VREF + 400 mV = 2.9 V at 10 mA load, per the dropout specification. At lighter loads (e.g., 1 mA), dropout drops to ~200 mV, allowing regulation down to ~2.7 V. Input voltage must not exceed 5.5 V. Operation below 2.9 V at full load causes output voltage to fall out of regulation; LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB will not latch or fail but simply track VIN minus dropout.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin on LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB is an active-high digital control input with internal ~2 µA pull-up. When EN ≥65% of VIN, the device operates normally; when EN ≤35% of VIN, it enters shutdown mode drawing only 3–7 µA. EN may be tied directly to VIN for always-on operation or driven by a microcontroller GPIO. Floating EN is acceptable due to internal pull-up, but not recommended for noise-sensitive designs. LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB does not operate correctly if EN exceeds VIN.
Is LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4128 variants?
Yes, all LM4128 and LM4128Q variants - including LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB - share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout (N/C, GND, EN, VIN, VREF). Voltage options (1.8 V to 4.096 V) and grade options (A/B/C/D) do not affect mechanical or electrical pin compatibility. Layouts designed for any LM4128Q part can accommodate LM4128BQ1MF2.5/NOPB without modification, though system-level validation of reference accuracy and noise performance is still required.
