Product details
Overview
LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/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 automotive-grade data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB application, or LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, dropout voltage of 175–400 mV at 10 mA, stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and guaranteed performance across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference core with active error correction to achieve low drift and high initial accuracy. Its enable input controls a high-impedance shutdown path that reduces quiescent current to 3–7 µA while maintaining fast wake-up response.
This device operates as a series reference requiring VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.9 V at 10 mA), eliminates need for external stabilization capacitor, and remains stable driving ceramic loads from 0 to 10 µF - enabling compact, low-noise analog front-end designs in space-constrained automotive and industrial modules.
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 12-bit ADC biasing |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ≤±225 µV over −40°C to +125°C range, critical for precision sensor signal chains |
| 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 - allows deep-sleep power management in automotive ECUs without external switches |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - supports operation from single Li-ion or 3.3 V rail with margin for aging and ripple |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 275 µVPP - meets SNR requirements for 16-bit SAR ADCs in medical and process control applications |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains <±0.3 mV output shift from 0 to 20 mA, suitable for driving DAC reference inputs |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm), qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use. Pin 1 is no-connect (N/C); pins are arranged top-view with standard DBV pinout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating - no PCB trace or thermal pad required |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference core and output stage; requires low-impedance connection to clean AGND plane |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input (VIH ≥65% VIN); pulls up internally with ~2 µA - compatible with microcontroller GPIO |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.9 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF + 400 mV under load to maintain regulation |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision output | 2.5 V reference source capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF ceramic capacitive loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Guarantees operation from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature in automotive powertrain and ADAS modules |
| No external stabilization capacitor needed | Reduces BOM count and board area vs shunt references; simplifies layout for high-reliability embedded systems |
| Stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads | Enables direct interface to ADC/DAC reference inputs and op-amp feedback networks without phase-margin tuning |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Limits output current to 75 mA during fault conditions - prevents damage during ESD events or miswiring |
| Low thermal hysteresis (75 ppm) | Minimizes calibration drift after thermal cycling in field-deployed test equipment and industrial controllers |

|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V, ±0.2% accuracy, 100 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - lacks enable pin and AEC-Q100 qualification | Targeted at commercial-grade portable instruments; not rated for automotive temperature or reliability stress | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and shutdown capability |
| MAX6025AEUR+T | 2.5 V, ±0.15% accuracy, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 35 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - no enable pin, no AEC-Q100 rating | Suitable for high-precision lab equipment where ultra-low drift dominates over power management | Prefer when long-term stability (30 ppm/1k hrs) and lower tempco justify absence of enable control |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 and operates across a junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This specification is validated through accelerated stress testing and applies to all electrical parameters in the datasheet's boldface limits, ensuring reliable performance in under-hood automotive and industrial environments where thermal extremes occur.
Does LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes, LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB requires an input capacitor (CIN) for stable operation. The datasheet specifies CIN ≥ COUT, with a minimum of 0.1 µF when no output capacitor is used. A 0.1–1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the VIN and GND pins is recommended to suppress supply noise and prevent startup overshoot - especially critical in battery-powered systems with high-impedance sources.
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB supports up to 20 mA of continuous output current while maintaining regulation within specified accuracy limits. At 10 mA load, dropout voltage is 175–400 mV; output voltage deviation remains ≤±120 ppm/mA under full load. Exceeding 20 mA triggers internal current limiting, protecting the device but degrading reference accuracy.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin on LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB is an active-high digital control input with VIH ≥65% VIN and VIL ≤35% VIN. When pulled high (≥2.9 V at VIN = 4.5 V), the device operates normally; when pulled low or grounded, it enters shutdown mode drawing only 3–7 µA. An internal ~2 µA pull-up allows direct connection to VIN if always-on operation is acceptable.
Is LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB stable without an output capacitor?
Yes, LM4128BQ1MFX2.5/NOPB is explicitly designed to be stable with zero output capacitance (COUT = 0). It remains stable driving capacitive loads from 0 to 10 µF, including ceramic, tantalum, and electrolytic types. While COUT is optional, adding 1–10 µF improves load transient response - particularly beneficial in multiplexed ADC systems switching between reference-heavy channels.
