Product details
Overview
LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 1.8 V output with ±0.5% initial accuracy (C grade), 100 ppm/°C max 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 portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB pinout, LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB application, or LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), line regulation (70 ppm/V), load regulation (25–120 ppm/mA), and stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference core with active error correction to achieve low drift and high initial accuracy. Its enable-controlled architecture allows seamless integration into power-gated subsystems, with guaranteed operation from VIN = VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.2 V) up to 5.5 V.
Designed for direct replacement of shunt references in space-constrained layouts, it eliminates the need for an external stabilizing capacitor while maintaining stability with ceramic COUT up to 10 µF. The device exhibits 170 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise and indefinite short-circuit protection limiting output current to 75 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V nominal, ±0.5% initial accuracy (C grade) - ensures ≤9 mV absolute error at 25°C for 12-bit ADC biasing |
| Tempco | 100 ppm/°C max - contributes ≤180 µV drift over −40°C to +125°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA average-power IoT sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - supports ultra-low-power sleep modes without external switches |
| Dropout Voltage | 200–400 mV at 10 mA - permits operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V) |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains <±216 µV output shift across full 20 mA load range |
| Line Regulation | 70 ppm/V - limits output variation to <±126 µV when input rises from 2.2 V to 5.5 V |

| Pin 3 (EN) | Digital enable control | Active-high logic input; VIH ≥65% VIN, VIL ≤35% VIN - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.2 V to 5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (CIN ≥ COUT) |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision output terminal | Delivers regulated 1.8 V; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads; drives resistive loads up to 20 mA |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB?
The LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V across its specified operating temperature range. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage, as confirmed by Absolute Maximum Ratings in the official SNVS475E datasheet. Input voltage must also remain ≥2.2 V (VREF + 400 mV) to maintain regulation at 10 mA load.
Does LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes - LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN). Per TI's APPLICATION INFORMATION section, CIN must satisfy CIN ≥ COUT, and if no output capacitor is used, CIN must be ≥0.1 µF. Omission risks instability and degraded noise performance.
What is the output voltage accuracy grade of LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB?
LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB is a C-grade device, with guaranteed initial output voltage accuracy of ±0.5% at 25°C. This is explicitly defined in the Electrical Characteristics table for LM4128-1.8 under "LM4128C-1.8" row, and confirmed by TI's packaging addendum marking code "R5CA" for C-grade 1.8 V variants.
Can LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load?
Yes - LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB is explicitly characterized for stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, as stated in the FEATURES section and verified in Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure 13). No external series resistance or isolation is required, unlike many older references.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB?
LM4128DMF-1.8/NOPB has a thermal hysteresis of 75 ppm over −40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for LM4128-1.8. This equates to ≤135 µV change in 1.8 V output after thermal cycling - critical for repeatable calibration in field-deployed equipment.
