Product details
Overview
LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/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 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 automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance, and real-world design implications for high-accuracy analog subsystems.
Technical Context
The LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB implements a band-gap–based series reference architecture with internal enable logic and no external capacitor requirement for stability. Its 400 mV dropout voltage enables operation from low headroom supplies such as 2.5 V rails while maintaining 2.048 V output regulation across 0–20 mA loads.
Designed for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, it guarantees −40°C to +125°C junction operation with 75 ppm/°C tempco (B grade), 50 ppm long-term stability over 1000 hours, and 190 µV thermal hysteresis - critical for automotive ADAS sensor calibration and industrial process control loops where drift must be bounded.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy - matches 12-bit DAC full-scale reference points without trimming. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 75 ppm/°C max (B grade) - ensures ≤±156 ppm total drift over −40°C to +125°C, equivalent to ±0.32 mV error. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in portable data loggers drawing <100 µA average system current. |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - allows microcontroller-gated power cycling in wake-on-event sensor nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - supports direct regulation from single-cell LiFePO₄ (3.2 V) or dual-cell alkaline (3.0 V) supplies. |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains ≤±240 µV output shift across full 20 mA load range, suitable for driving ADC reference inputs. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 190 µVPP - low enough for 16-bit SAR ADCs without additional filtering in precision measurement front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package per JEDEC MO-178AB, with 0.95 mm pitch and 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin 3 (EN) is active-high with 35% VIN low threshold and 65% VIN high threshold.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating - not bonded internally; routing to ground or VIN violates specification. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return path for reference current; requires dedicated ground plane connection near device to minimize noise coupling. |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high digital input; pulls up internally with ~2 µA; drives into shutdown when pulled below 35% VIN. |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.448 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (X5R/X7R) for stability. |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision output terminal | 2.048 V regulated source; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads; output impedance <1 Ω below 10 kHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Grade-B automotive qualification | LM4128BQ variant qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), enabling use in engine control modules and ABS sensors. |
| No external stabilization capacitor | Internally compensated to remain stable without COUT, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained modules. |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Self-limits output current to 75 mA during fault, preventing damage during board-level ESD or wiring shorts. |
| Low ESR ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with X5R/X7R dielectrics - avoids aging and bias-voltage derating issues common with tantalum or electrolytic types. |
| Programmable turn-on time | 33.2 µs (1 µF load) to 78.8 µs (10 µF load) - enables deterministic power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3020AIDBZR | 2.048 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 - no enable pin, lower tempco, but no shutdown mode. | Lacks EN pin; unsuitable for power-gated systems requiring µA-level standby current. | Select when lowest possible drift is prioritized over shutdown capability and board space is constrained (3-pin vs 5-pin). |
| MAX6029BASA20+ | 2.048 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C, 65 µA IQ, SO-8 - includes trim pin for post-package calibration. | SO-8 package occupies >3× PCB area; trim capability adds cost and test complexity. | Select when field calibration or production-line trimming is required to meet tighter system-level tolerance budgets. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is specified as a B-grade device with ±0.2% initial accuracy at 25°C, and its temperature coefficient is guaranteed ≤75 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C. This means total output deviation remains within ±0.2% plus drift contribution - e.g., at 125°C, worst-case error is ±0.2% + (85°C × 75 ppm/°C) = ±0.2% + 6375 ppm ≈ ±0.264%, fully documented in TI's SNVS475E datasheet.
Does LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is internally compensated and stable with or without an output capacitor, supporting capacitive loads up to 10 µF. An optional COUT improves load transient response but is not required for stability - unlike many older references that mandate minimum COUT values. Input capacitor CIN ≥0.1 µF is mandatory.
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB supports up to 20 mA of continuous output current while maintaining regulation within specifications. At 20 mA load, dropout voltage remains ≤400 mV, and load regulation is specified at 25–120 ppm/mA - meaning output shifts ≤±240 µV across full load range, verified per Electrical Characteristics table in SNVS475E.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
Pin 3 (EN) is an active-high enable input with internal ~2 µA pull-up. It enters shutdown mode (IQ = 3–7 µA) when pulled below 35% of VIN, and enables normal operation when driven above 65% of VIN. The pin may be tied directly to VIN for always-on use, or driven by a microcontroller GPIO - no external pull-up resistor needed.
Is LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4128BQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is part of the LM4128Q family and explicitly qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), manufactured on an automotive-grade flow. Its datasheet lists "LM4128AQ/BQ/CQ/DQ are AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualified" and confirms automotive qualification in Package Option Addendum and Features sections.
