Product details
Overview
LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/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 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 LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB application, or LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include initial accuracy grade (B), dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference architecture optimized for low quiescent current and high PSRR. Its enable-controlled operation allows seamless integration into power-gated systems, while the absence of required external stabilization capacitor simplifies layout.
It maintains output regulation across input voltages from 3.4 V (3.0 V + 400 mV) to 5.5 V and sustains 0.5% accuracy over load currents from 0 to 20 mA. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 75 ppm, and long-term stability is 50 ppm over 1000 hours - critical for precision ADC biasing and closed-loop calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy (B-grade) ensures ≤±6 mV absolute error at 25°C |
| Temperature Coefficient | 75 ppm/°C max over −40°C to +125°C → ≤22.5 mV drift across full range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max when EN = 0 V - reduces system standby power by >95% |
| Dropout Voltage | 400 mV max at 10 mA load - supports operation from single Li-ion or 3.3 V rail |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains <±0.24 mV shift from 0 to 20 mA load step |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 285 µVPP - suitable for 16-bit SAR ADC reference without additional filtering |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package per JEDEC MO-178AB, with 0.95 mm pitch and 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. The no-connect (N/C) pin is electrically isolated and must remain floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (N/C) | No connect | Must be left unconnected; no internal bond wire or circuit connection |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal bias; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥65% of VIN enables device; ≤35% disables into 3 µA shutdown |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 3.4 V to 5.5 V; minimum headroom defined by dropout spec |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision reference output | 3.0 V regulated output capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with COUT ≤10 µF |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications operating from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AUT30+T | 3.0 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 12 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 | Higher precision and lower drift, but no enable pin and not AEC-Q100 qualified | Select for lab-grade test equipment where ultra-low drift outweighs automotive compliance needs |
| ADR3430ARJZ-R7 | 3.0 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 | Higher supply current and no shutdown mode; industrial temp range only (−40°C to +125°C) | Choose when lowest noise (12 µVPP) is critical and continuous operation is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB?
The LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V across its specified operating temperature range. Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage, as absolute maximum rating is 6 V. For reliable operation, VIN must also stay ≥3.4 V (3.0 V + 400 mV dropout) to maintain output regulation at full load. This makes LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V rails while ensuring headroom for transient suppression.
Does LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB is designed to operate stably without an external output capacitor and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF. An output capacitor (COUT) is optional and improves load transient response - especially during rapid 0–20 mA steps - but adds turn-on delay and is unnecessary for static reference applications. The mandatory input capacitor (CIN ≥0.1 µF) must still be placed close to the VIN pin.
What does the 'B' grade signify in LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB?
The 'B' in LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB denotes the initial accuracy grade: ±0.2% over temperature. This means the 3.0 V output will deviate no more than ±6 mV at 25°C before calibration, tighter than C-grade (±0.5%) and D-grade (±1.0%), but less stringent than A-grade (±0.1%). All B-grade units also meet the 75 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification required for automotive use.
How does the enable pin function on LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB?
The enable pin (EN, Pin 3) on LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB is active-high with TTL-compatible thresholds: VIH ≥65% of VIN enables normal operation, while VIL ≤35% of VIN forces shutdown with 3–7 µA supply current. The internal pull-up (~2 µA) allows direct connection to VIN for always-on use. EN must never exceed VIN; applying EN > VIN violates absolute maximum ratings and may damage the device.
Is LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB suitable for driving ADC reference inputs?
Yes, LM4128BQ1MFX3.0/NOPB is well-suited for driving precision ADC reference inputs, including 16-bit SAR and sigma-delta converters. With 285 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) noise, ±0.2% initial accuracy, and 75 ppm/°C tempco, it supports effective resolution beyond 15 bits. Its ability to source 20 mA ensures adequate drive strength for reference buffers and decoupling networks - provided layout follows TI's recommendations for ground isolation and capacitor placement near the VREF pin.
