Product details
Overview
LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 3.3 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 and supports up to 20 mA load current - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB pinout, LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB application, or LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), 0.1–10 Hz noise (310 µVPP), thermal hysteresis (75 ppm), long-term stability (50 ppm/1000 hrs), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB uses a band-gap–derived reference core with internal trimming for grade-C accuracy. Its enable input controls a low-leakage pass element, allowing transition between 60 µA active operation and 3–7 µA shutdown state without external circuitry.
Designed for capacitive-load stability, it operates reliably with COUT up to 10 µF and requires only a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic CIN. The 5-pin SOT-23 layout isolates the no-connect pin (Pin 1) to minimize parasitic coupling, while GND (Pin 2), EN (Pin 3), VIN (Pin 4), and VREF (Pin 5) define its minimal external interface.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal, ±0.5% initial tolerance (Grade C) - ensures ADC/DAC reference accuracy within 16.5 mV at room temperature |
| Tempco | 100 ppm/°C max over −40°C to +125°C - limits drift to ±330 µV across full automotive temperature range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical active, 3–7 µA in shutdown - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA load - allows operation from 3.475 V input, compatible with single-cell LiFePO₄ or regulated 3.6 V rails |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 310 µVPP - supports 16-bit+ data acquisition where <1 LSB error requires <100 µVPP noise floor |
| Load Current | Up to 20 mA - sufficient to drive SAR ADC references, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs directly |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤35% VIN, VIH ≥65% VIN - compatible with standard CMOS logic levels across full input range |
Pinout & Package
LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package - 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm body, 0.95 mm pitch, gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is no-connect and must remain floating; all other pins are electrically active.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (N/C) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating - avoids unintended coupling or ESD path |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for reference core and output stage; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high digital input; pulls up internally (~2 µA); drives into shutdown when ≤35% VIN |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply | Power input requiring VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV; accepts up to 5.5 V; bypassed by CIN ≥0.1 µF |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision output | Stable 3.3 V reference source; capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with COUT ≤10 µF |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Grade-C AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C junction), manufactured on automotive flow - suitable for engine control, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power domains |
| Capacitor-free stability | No external compensation required; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads - reduces BOM count and board area in space-constrained modules |
| Low-noise architecture | 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) and 85 ppm/V line regulation - maintains reference integrity in noisy automotive or industrial power environments |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Current-limited to 75 mA during output fault - prevents thermal runaway and enables safe operation in unattended systems |
| Minimal input capacitance | Requires only 0.1 µF CIN (no COUT needed) - simplifies layout and eliminates capacitor mismatch risks in high-reliability designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AUT33+ | 3.3 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 12 µA IQ - higher precision but 2× cost and no enable pin | Suitable for metrology-grade lab equipment; not optimized for battery shutdown or automotive temp range | Select when ultra-low drift (<10 ppm total) outweighs cost and power savings |
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | 3.3 V, ±0.1% accuracy, 10 ppm/°C, 120 µA IQ, no enable - superior tempco but higher supply current and no shutdown mode | Better for fixed-power industrial systems needing lowest possible drift; lacks automotive qualification | Prefer for mains-powered test gear where 120 µA IQ is acceptable and AEC-Q100 is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6126AUT33+ and ADR3433ARJZ-R7, LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB uniquely balances AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, 3 µA shutdown, and 100 ppm/°C tempco at mid-tier cost - making it optimal for automotive and portable industrial devices where power, qualification, and price intersect.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB is 6 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 5.5 V per the Electrical Characteristics table. Exceeding 5.5 V may cause parametric degradation or reliability risk, especially at elevated temperatures. For reliable operation, maintain VIN ≤5.5 V and ≥3.7 V (VREF + 400 mV) across the full load and temperature range.
Does LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB is designed to operate stably without an external output capacitor. It remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and adding COUT is optional - typically used to improve load transient response. The only mandatory capacitor is CIN (≥0.1 µF ceramic), placed between VIN and GND.
Is LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB is LM4128CQ grade and explicitly AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C junction temperature), manufactured on TI's automotive-grade flow. This makes it suitable for engine control units, ADAS sensors, body electronics, and other under-hood or cabin applications requiring automotive reliability certification.
What is the typical turn-on time for LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB?
The typical turn-on time for LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB is 33.2 µs when driving a 1 µF load and 78.8 µs with a 10 µF load, defined as time to reach 90% of 3.3 V output. Under brown-out conditions or at −40°C, turn-on time may extend up to 10 ms. Enable pin assertion must precede VIN ramp for predictable startup behavior.
How does the enable pin function on LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB?
The enable pin (Pin 3) on LM4128CQ1MF3.3/NOPB is active-high with internal ~2 µA pull-up. It enters shutdown (3–7 µA IQ) when pulled ≤35% of VIN and activates fully when ≥65% of VIN. It can be driven directly from MCU GPIO or left open (pulled up internally), eliminating need for external resistors in most designs.
