Product details
Overview
LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 2.048 V output with ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100 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 data acquisition systems requiring stable low-power reference.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include initial accuracy grade (C = ±0.5%), dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and compatibility with ceramic bypass capacitors without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived architecture optimized for low quiescent current and high PSRR. Its enable input controls a high-impedance shutdown state, reducing supply current to 3–7 µA while maintaining fast wake-up response.
It achieves stable regulation across input voltages from (VREF + 400 mV) to 5.5 V, supports load currents up to 20 mA, and maintains output accuracy under line regulation (≤70 ppm/V) and load regulation (≤120 ppm/mA) per the C-grade specification at −40°C to +125°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AASA20+ | 2.048 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy (A-grade), 3 ppm/°C tempco, 35 µA IQ, SO-8 package | Higher accuracy and lower drift; requires larger footprint and external decoupling | Select when system-level accuracy demands <±0.05% total error over temperature and time |
| ADR3420ARJZ-R7 | 2.048 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package | Lower tempco but higher supply current; same pinout but different enable behavior (active-low) | Prefer when thermal stability dominates power budget, and board layout accommodates revised EN logic |
Compared with LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB, MAX6126AASA20+ offers superior accuracy and drift but increases PCB area and cost; ADR3420ARJZ-R7 matches the SOT-23-5 footprint and voltage but trades 60 µA IQ for 10 ppm/°C drift - making it suitable for thermally aggressive environments where power is less constrained.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB is specified as a C-grade device with ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C, and this tolerance is maintained across the full −40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature range per TI's production test limits. The part does not degrade beyond ±0.5% solely due to temperature shift - drift is governed separately by the 100 ppm/°C tempco specification.
Does LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor to remain stable?
No - the LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB is internally compensated and remains stable without any output capacitor. An optional COUT (up to 10 µF) may be added to improve load transient response, but it is never required for stability. Input capacitor CIN (≥0.1 µF ceramic) is mandatory for proper operation.
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB to regulate at full 20 mA load?
For 20 mA load, LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + dropout voltage. At 10 mA, dropout is specified as 175–400 mV; extrapolating conservatively, VIN ≥ 2.048 V + 0.4 V = 2.448 V is required. TI confirms operation down to VREF + 400 mV across all load conditions up to 20 mA.
Can LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB drive a 10 µF ceramic capacitor directly at its output?
Yes - the LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR X5R/X7R ceramics. This capability eliminates need for series isolation resistors or external compensation networks typically required by older reference architectures.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB, and what logic levels activate it?
The EN pin on LM4128CMF-2.0/NOPB is active-high with VIH ≥65% of VIN and VIL ≤35% of VIN. When EN is pulled low (≤35% VIN), the device enters shutdown mode drawing only 3–7 µA. Leaving EN open or tying it to VIN enables normal operation. Driving EN above VIN is prohibited and may damage the part.
