Product details
Overview
LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 3.0 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 LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB application, or LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, low dropout (175–400 mV), stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and absence of required external output capacitor.
Technical Context
The LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB employs a band-gap-derived reference core optimized for micropower operation and thermal stability across −40°C to +125°C. Its enable input uses an internal 2 µA pull-up, allowing direct connection to VIN or external logic control without external biasing.
It operates with input voltage as low as VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥3.4 V at 10 mA load), maintains regulation under 0–20 mA load variation, and exhibits ≤75 ppm/°C tempco over full temperature range-ensured for B-grade devices per SNVS475E Rev E.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy (B-grade) - ensures 6 mV absolute tolerance at 25°C for 12-bit ADC reference scaling |
| Temperature Coefficient | 75 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±9.0 mV over −40°C to +125°C, critical for automotive sensor signal conditioning |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors drawing <10 µA average system current |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - reduces standby power by >90% versus active mode, supporting duty-cycled measurement systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - allows operation from single Li-ion cell (3.0–4.2 V) down to 3.175 V before regulation loss |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - contributes ≤2.4 mV error across full 20 mA load range, suitable for precision DAC buffer applications |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 285 µVPP - supports 16-bit resolution in low-frequency data acquisition without additional filtering |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (package number R-PDSO-G5), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin (Sn) lead finish. Thermal resistance θJ-A = 220°C/W enables operation at full rated load within industrial temperature limits when mounted on standard FR-4 PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no internal connection - avoids unintended parasitic coupling or ESD path |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference core and enable circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to clean analog ground plane |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; VIH ≥65% VIN, VIL ≤35% VIN - compatible with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V microcontroller GPIOs |
| 4 - VIN | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.4 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF + 400 mV for regulation - enables direct use with LDO outputs or battery rails |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | Low-impedance 3.0 V source capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads including ceramic X5R/X7R |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) - qualified for engine control modules, ADAS sensors, and body electronics |
| Capacitor-free stability | No mandatory COUT; stable with 0–10 µF loads - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for output bypass in space-constrained modules |
| Low-noise architecture | 285 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - meets noise floor requirements for 16-bit SAR ADCs without post-regulation filtering |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | 75 mA current limit - prevents damage during board test, connector mating, or transient faults without latch-off |
| Input capacitor requirement | CIN ≥ 0.1 µF ceramic (X5R/X7R); CIN ≥ COUT if used - ensures startup stability and PSRR >60 dB at 1 kHz |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126ASA30+ | 3.0 V, 0.06% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 0.9 mA supply current, SO-8 package | Higher precision and lower drift, but 15× higher quiescent current and larger footprint - suited for lab-grade instruments, not portable devices | Select MAX6126ASA30+ only when ultra-low tempco and tighter initial tolerance outweigh battery life and board space constraints. |
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | 3.0 V, 0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 µA supply current, SOT-23-5 package | Lower tempco and better accuracy than LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB, but higher supply current and no enable pin - lacks shutdown capability | Choose ADR3430ARJZ-R7 when continuous operation and superior drift performance are prioritized over power gating and automotive qualification. |
Compared with MAX6126ASA30+ and ADR3430ARJZ-R7, LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB uniquely balances AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, micropower operation (60 µA), integrated enable control, and SOT-23 footprint-making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, battery-operated automotive and industrial edge sensors where moderate accuracy suffices.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB is a B-grade device with guaranteed ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C and specified performance over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its maximum temperature coefficient is 75 ppm/°C, contributing ≤±9.0 mV drift across the full range - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics tables for LM4128B-3.0 in SNVS475E Rev E.
Does LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB is stable without an external output capacitor and supports capacitive loads up to 10 µF. An optional COUT improves load transient response but is not required for stability - a key differentiator from older references that mandate minimum COUT. This is explicitly stated in the "APPLICATION INFORMATION" section of the datasheet.
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB to maintain regulation at 10 mA load?
LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV for regulation at 10 mA, i.e., ≥3.4 V. Dropout voltage is specified as 175–400 mV over temperature and load - verified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table for LM4128-3.0, ensuring reliable operation from single-cell lithium or regulated 3.3 V rails with margin.
Is LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB is LM4128Q-series and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C), manufactured on an automotive-grade flow. The "Q" suffix and explicit listing in the "FEATURES" section confirm its suitability for engine control units, ADAS subsystems, and body electronics per TI's production data.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB?
The EN pin on LM4128BQ1MF3.0/NOPB is active-high with VIH ≥65% VIN and VIL ≤35% VIN. When pulled low, it reduces supply current to 3–7 µA; when high or left floating (due to internal 2 µA pull-up), the device operates normally. This behavior is documented in the PIN DESCRIPTIONS and Electrical Characteristics sections of SNVS475E.
