Product details
Overview
LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 2.048 V output with ±0.5% 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 instrumentation and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its grade-C initial accuracy, dropout voltage of 175–400 mV at 10 mA, stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB implements a band-gap-based series voltage reference architecture with internal enable control logic and no external stabilization capacitor required. Its design ensures stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors and tolerates input voltages from (VREF + 400 mV) to 5.5 V.
It delivers 2.048 V nominal output across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, with guaranteed long-term stability of ≤50 ppm over 1000 hours and thermal hysteresis of ≤75 ppm - enabling high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal; enables precise 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale calibration without trimming |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% (Grade C); ensures ≤10.24 mV absolute error at room temperature |
| Tempco | 100 ppm/°C max; limits drift to ≤209 µV over −40°C to +125°C span |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical; supports >1-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on sensing nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V; allows ultra-low-power duty-cycled measurement systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA; permits operation from single Li-ion or 3.3 V rail with margin |
| Load Drive | 20 mA max; sufficient to drive SAR ADC reference inputs and op-amp buffers directly |
Pinout & Package
LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package - 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; floating - not tied to GND or any other node |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current; requires low-impedance PCB connection to system AGND |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable input | Drives internal regulator when ≥65% of VIN; pulls down to disable (≤35% VIN) |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.448 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF by ≥400 mV for regulation |
| 5 - VREF | Precision output terminal | Delivers stable 2.048 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic CIN; COUT optional but improves transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3020AIDBZR | 2.048 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy (Grade A), 50 ppm/°C tempco, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 | Higher accuracy and lower tempco; lacks enable pin and AEC-Q100 qualification | Preferred where higher precision is critical and automotive qualification is not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The minimum input is VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.448 V at 10 mA load), ensuring regulation integrity across the full temperature range. Absolute maximum ratings specify −0.3 V to 6 V on any pin, but sustained operation beyond 5.5 V violates functional specifications.
Does LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB is stable without an external output capacitor and is certified to drive capacitive loads up to 10 µF. An output capacitor (COUT) is optional but recommended to improve load transient response - especially when switching between light and heavy loads. Input capacitor CIN (≥0.1 µF ceramic) is mandatory for stability.
What does the 'CQ' suffix indicate in LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB?
The 'CQ' in LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB denotes Grade C initial accuracy (±0.5%) and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. The 'Q' confirms automotive flow manufacturing; 'C' specifies the accuracy grade per the LM4128 family datasheet. This distinguishes it from LM4128AQ (±0.1%), LM4128BQ (±0.2%), and LM4128DQ (±1.0%).
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB?
The EN pin on LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB is active-high with VIH ≥65% of VIN and VIL ≤35% of VIN. When pulled high (≥65% VIN), the device regulates normally; when pulled low (≤35% VIN), it enters shutdown mode drawing only 3–7 µA. The pin has an internal ~2 µA pull-up, so tying EN to VIN enables continuous operation without external circuitry.
Is LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, LM4128CQ1MF2.0/NOPB is RoHS-compliant with matte tin (Sn) lead finish and rated MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life). It supports standard lead-free soldering profiles including vapor phase (60 sec at 215°C) and infrared (15 sec at 220°C), per TI's packaging documentation.
