Product details
Overview
LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 2.5 V output with ±0.5% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3–7 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 LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB application, or LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), line regulation (50 ppm/V), load regulation (25–120 ppm/mA), 0.1–10 Hz noise (275 µVPP), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB is a band-gap-based series voltage reference with internal enable logic and no external capacitor requirement for stability. Its architecture ensures monotonic turn-on behavior and indefinite short-circuit protection (75 mA limit), while maintaining low thermal hysteresis (75 ppm) and long-term stability (50 ppm over 1000 hrs).
It operates with input voltage as low as VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.9 V) up to 5.5 V, accepts capacitive loads ≤10 µF, and remains stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors. The enable pin has VIH ≥65% VIN and VIL ≤35% VIN thresholds, and the N/C pin (Pin 1) must remain unconnected.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal, ±0.5% initial accuracy (C-grade) - ensures ADC/DAC reference error ≤12.5 mV at room temperature |
| Tempco | 100 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤0.25 V drift over −40°C to +125°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA-systems with duty-cycled operation |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA - reduces power loss during sleep modes without external switch |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 3.3 V rails with margin |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 275 µVPP - supports 16-bit SAR ADCs without additional filtering |
| Load Drive | 20 mA max - sufficient to drive op-amp bias networks, DAC references, and small analog front-ends |
Pinout & Package
LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package per JEDEC MO-178AB, with 0.95 mm pitch and 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect); pins are arranged top-view counterclockwise starting from the mark dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | N/C | No-connect terminal - must be left floating; not internally bonded |
| Pin 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane |
| Pin 3 | EN | Active-high enable input - pulls up internally (~2 µA); drives high to activate reference output |
| Pin 4 | VIN | Input supply - must exceed VREF + 400 mV; bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| Pin 5 | VREF | Precision 2.5 V output - capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with COUT ≤10 µF |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Grade-C precision | ±0.5% initial accuracy and 100 ppm/°C tempco - meets mid-tier industrial calibration requirements without trimming |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces quiescent current to 3–7 µA - enables dynamic power gating in portable data loggers |
| Capacitor-free stability | No mandatory output capacitor required - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in space-constrained designs |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for −40°C to +125°C junction operation - suitable for under-hood automotive modules and ADAS sensors |
| Low-noise output | 275 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - avoids post-regulation filtering in precision 16-bit measurement systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy (A-grade), 50 ppm/°C, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - tighter accuracy/tempco but higher cost | Preferred where 16-bit+ ADC absolute accuracy dominates BOM cost; less suited for cost-sensitive automotive Grade 1 deployments | Select REF3025AIDBZR when initial accuracy <±0.2% is mandatory and AEC-Q100 is not required |
| MAX6029BASA25+ | 2.5 V, ±0.5% initial accuracy, 75 ppm/°C, 35 µA IQ, SO-8 - lower IQ but larger package and no enable pin | Suitable for board-space-flexible industrial PLCs; lacks shutdown control for ultra-low-power wake-up architectures | Select MAX6029BASA25+ when lowest quiescent current is critical and enable functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with REF3025AIDBZR and MAX6029BASA25+, LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB uniquely balances AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, enable-controlled shutdown, and SOT-23 footprint - making it optimal for automotive and portable industrial sensors where reliability, power gating, and size are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. For reliable performance, VIN must also stay ≥2.9 V (VREF + 400 mV) at 10 mA load to maintain regulation. The device includes built-in overvoltage protection on all pins up to 6 V, but sustained operation beyond 5.5 V is not guaranteed.
Does LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB require an output capacitor?
No, LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB does not require an output capacitor for stability - it is internally compensated and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF. An optional COUT improves load transient response, especially when switching between light and heavy loads, but adds turn-on delay. If used, low-ESR ceramic (X5R/X7R) is recommended and must be placed close to the VREF pin.
What does the 'CQ' in LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB indicate?
The 'CQ' suffix in LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB denotes two attributes: 'C' specifies the C-grade initial accuracy (±0.5%) and 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient; 'Q' indicates AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive applications (−40°C to +125°C junction temperature). The '1MF' denotes SOT-23-5 (DBV) package with tape-and-reel packaging (1000 units/reel).
How does the enable pin function on LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin (Pin 3) on LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB is an active-high digital control input with internal ~2 µA pull-up. When pulled ≥65% of VIN, the reference activates; when ≤35% of VIN, it enters shutdown with 3–7 µA supply current. Leaving EN floating defaults to enabled state due to internal pull-up. Driving EN directly from a microcontroller GPIO is safe and eliminates need for external pull-up resistors.
Is LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, LM4128CQ1MF2.5/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and rated for lead-free reflow with MSL Level-1 (260°C peak, unlimited floor life). Its SN (matte tin) lead finish and SOT-23 (DBV) package meet IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity requirements. Standard reflow profiles for SnPb or Pb-free solder may be used, provided peak temperature does not exceed 260°C for more than 10 seconds.
