Product details
Overview
LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/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-grade data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance, and real-world design context for precision analog signal chains requiring stable, low-power reference voltage generation.
Technical Context
The LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference core with active output buffering, enabling stable operation without external stabilization capacitors while supporting capacitive loads up to 10 µF. Its enable input controls a high-impedance shutdown state that reduces quiescent current to 3–7 µA.
This device operates as a series reference with dropout voltage of 175–400 mV at 10 mA load, line regulation of 30 ppm/V, and load regulation of 25–120 ppm/mA - all specified across −40°C to +125°C. It is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and manufactured on an automotive-grade flow.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The minimum input is VREF + 400 mV (≥2.448 V) for proper regulation at 10 mA load. Input voltage must remain within these bounds across all operating temperatures and load conditions to ensure reliable performance of LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB.
Does LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. It remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including optional COUT for improved transient response. An input capacitor (CIN ≥ 0.1 µF) is mandatory; CIN must be ≥ COUT if both are used. This architecture simplifies design and reduces bill-of-materials cost for LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB implementations.
What does the 'CQ' suffix indicate in LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The 'CQ' suffix denotes AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and automotive-grade manufacturing flow. 'C' specifies ±0.5% initial accuracy (C grade), and 'Q' confirms automotive qualification. LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and undergoes additional stress testing per AEC-Q100 standards - distinguishing it from commercial-grade LM4128 variants and confirming its suitability for automotive applications.
How does the enable pin function on LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The enable pin (Pin 3) is active-high with VIH ≥ 65% of VIN and VIL ≤ 35% of VIN. When pulled high (≥65% VIN), LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB regulates normally; when pulled low (≤35% VIN), it enters shutdown with 3–7 µA supply current. An internal 2 µA pull-up allows direct connection to VIN for always-on operation. This EN functionality enables dynamic power gating in LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB-based sensor nodes.
Is LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB compatible with standard SOT-23 footprints?
Yes, LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB uses the industry-standard 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package per JEDEC MO-178AB, with 0.95 mm pin pitch and 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm body dimensions. It is compatible with standard SOT-23 reflow profiles (MSL Level-1, peak 260°C) and fits existing pick-and-place tooling and stencil apertures used for other DBV-packaged devices - ensuring seamless integration into LM4128CQ1MFX2.0/NOPB production lines.
