Product details
Overview
LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 4.096 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 high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in automotive sensor modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB datasheet, LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB pinout, LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB application, or LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with 10 µF capacitive loads, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB uses a band-gap–derived reference core with internal enable logic and low-dropout series architecture. Its design eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability with output capacitance up to 10 µF and ESR down to zero.
It operates across VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V, delivers 4.096 V nominal output, and achieves 75 ppm/°C tempco (Grade B) via trimmed curvature compensation - enabling stable performance across automotive thermal cycles without external calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096 V ±0.2% (Grade B) - matches 12-bit DAC full-scale reference and enables 1 LSB accuracy without trimming |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.2% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures single-point calibration suffices for production test |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ≤±0.42 mV over full automotive temperature range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on vehicle telematics sensors |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-event architectures |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - allows operation from 4.5 V rail with 400 mV headroom margin |
| Load Capability | 20 mA max - drives multiple SAR ADC references or op-amp bias networks directly |
Pinout & Package
LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/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. Thermal resistance θJ-A = 220°C/W enables operation at full rated load in compact automotive PCB layouts without heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no internal connection or function |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current; requires low-impedance PCB plane tie |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥65% of VIN enables device; ≤35% disables into 3 µA shutdown |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 4.496 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF by ≥400 mV for regulation |
| 5 - VREF | Precision output | 4.096 V source with 25–120 ppm/mA load regulation; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for −40°C to +125°C junction operation in automotive ECUs and ADAS sensors |
| Stable with 10 µF capacitive loads | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count |
| Low-noise 0.1–10 Hz output | 350 µVPP - meets noise floor requirements for 16-bit precision data acquisition systems |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Limits output current to 75 mA - prevents damage during board-level fault conditions |
| Thermal hysteresis ≤75 ppm | Ensures repeatable output after thermal cycling - critical for factory calibration repeatability |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB is a Grade B device with guaranteed ±0.2% initial accuracy over the full −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. This specification is production-tested and applies to all units shipped under this part number, ensuring consistent performance in automotive under-hood environments without post-installation trimming.
Does LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB require an input capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB requires an input capacitor (CIN). The datasheet mandates CIN ≥ COUT, with a minimum of 0.1 µF when no output capacitor is used. For optimal noise suppression and startup behavior, TI recommends 4.7 µF to 22 µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) placed close to the VIN and GND pins - a requirement confirmed in the APPLICATION INFORMATION section.
Is LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4128 variants?
Yes, LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB shares identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) pinout and package dimensions with all LM4128x and LM4128Qx variants, including LM4128AMF-4.1/NOPB and LM4128CMF-4.1/NOPB. Pin functions (N/C, GND, EN, VIN, VREF) and mechanical footprint are fully interchangeable - enabling drop-in replacement across accuracy grades.
What is the maximum capacitive load LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB can drive while remaining stable?
LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB is specified to remain stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, regardless of ESR - including zero-ESR ceramic types. This capability is explicitly verified in the datasheet's "Stable with Low ESR Ceramic Capacitors" feature and "Typical Application Circuit" notes, eliminating need for series resistance or external compensation.
How does the enable functionality of LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB behave during power-up?
LM4128BQ1MFX4.1/NOPB features an internal ~2 µA pull-up on the EN pin. When left floating or tied to VIN, the device powers up enabled. To guarantee controlled startup, drive EN ≥65% of VIN to enable or ≤35% of VIN to enter 3–7 µA shutdown. The enable threshold is rail-ratio based, not fixed voltage - ensuring robust operation across varying input rails.
