Product details
Overview
LM4128DMF-2.0/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 (C grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It supports 0–20 mA load current, features an enable pin for 3–7 µA shutdown mode, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for portable instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage tolerance at temperature extremes, dropout voltage under 10 mA load, stability with ceramic capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and compatibility with low-ESR bypassing for noise-sensitive ADC reference rails.
Technical Context
The LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB uses an internal band-gap-derived reference core with active error correction, enabling stable 2.048 V output without external compensation. Its enable input controls a high-impedance shutdown path that reduces quiescent current to ≤7 µA while maintaining fast 33–79 µs turn-on time depending on load capacitance.
Designed for series topology, it requires only a minimum 0.1 µF input capacitor (CIN ≥ COUT), supports VIN as low as VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.448 V at 10 mA), and maintains regulation across line (30 ppm/V), load (25–120 ppm/mA), and thermal (100 ppm/°C max) variations - all verified over −40°C to +125°C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal; ±0.5% initial accuracy (C grade) ensures ≤±10.24 mV absolute error at 25°C |
| Tempco | 100 ppm/°C max (C grade); ≤±25.6 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 60–100 µA typical; enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA-systems with intermittent wake-up |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V; reduces power by >90% vs active mode during idle periods |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA load; allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 3.3 V rail with margin |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 190 µVPP; suitable for 12-bit to 14-bit SAR ADCs without additional filtering |
| Load Current | Up to 20 mA output; drives ADC reference inputs, DAC buffers, and op-amp bias networks directly |
Pinout & Package
LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package - RoHS-compliant, lead-finished with matte tin, MSL Level-1, and marked "R5BA" on top. The package measures 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm and is optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no internal connection or function |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference core and enable circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB tie to system AGND |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable control | Pulled internally to VIN via ~2 µA source; driven low (<35% VIN) to enter shutdown |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.448 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF + 400 mV for full-load regulation |
| 5 - VREF | Precision output terminal | Delivers regulated 2.048 V; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads including low-ESR ceramics |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Stable with zero output capacitance; eliminates BOM cost and layout area for COUT |
| Capacitive load drive | Guaranteed stability with up to 10 µF ceramic load - improves transient response in multiplexed ADC systems |
| Low dropout operation | Operates down to VIN = VREF + 400 mV - enables use with low-voltage batteries and LDO-fed rails |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Current-limited to 75 mA during output fault - prevents damage during board-level test or miswiring |
| Thermal hysteresis | 75 ppm max over −40°C ↔ +125°C cycling - preserves calibration integrity in thermally cycled environments |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB (C grade) has a maximum temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C, resulting in ≤±25.6 mV total deviation from 2.048 V across its full operating range. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for LM4128-2.0 under TCVREF/°C limits and applies specifically to the DMF-2.0 variant.
Does LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB is stable without an output capacitor and does not require COUT for basic operation. However, adding a 0.1–10 µF ceramic capacitor between VREF and GND improves load transient response - especially when driving switching ADCs or multiplexed sensor channels. Input capacitor CIN (≥0.1 µF) remains mandatory.
What is the minimum input voltage needed for LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB to regulate at full 20 mA load?
LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV = 2.448 V to maintain regulation at 10 mA load; at 20 mA, dropout increases slightly but remains within 400 mV per datasheet. Therefore, 2.45 V is the practical minimum for full-load operation, verified in the Dropout Voltage specification for LM4128-2.0 under ILOAD = 10 mA conditions.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB?
The EN pin on LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB is active-high with internal ~2 µA pull-up to VIN. Driving EN <35% of VIN disables the reference and reduces supply current to 3–7 µA. Leaving EN unconnected or tying it to VIN enables normal operation. EN must never exceed VIN, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Enable Transfer Characteristics.
Is LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB suitable for driving ADC reference inputs directly?
Yes, LM4128DMF-2.0/NOPB delivers up to 20 mA output current and exhibits 190 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) noise - sufficient for direct connection to 12-bit to 14-bit SAR and sigma-delta ADC reference pins. Its low output impedance and capacitive load stability eliminate need for external buffer op-amps in most precision measurement designs.
