Product details
Overview
LM4128DMF-2.5/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 (C grade), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It supports up to 20 mA load current, features an enable pin for 3–7 µA shutdown mode, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and portable data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5 V fixed output, dropout voltage of ≤400 mV at 10 mA, stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads, no external stabilizing capacitor requirement, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB is a band-gap-based series voltage reference with internal enable logic and rail-to-rail input capability down to VREF + 400 mV. Its architecture eliminates need for external stabilization while maintaining stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF and enabling fast turn-on (≤78.8 µs with 10 µF load).
It features indefinite short-circuit protection (75 mA current limit), thermal hysteresis of 75 ppm over −40°C to +125°C, and long-term stability of 50 ppm over 1000 hours - all specified for the C-grade variant matching the LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB part number.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal, ±0.5% initial accuracy (C grade) - ensures stable ADC/DAC reference within 12.5 mV tolerance at 25°C |
| Temperature Coefficient | 100 ppm/°C max - limits drift to ±0.3125 mV/°C across −40°C to +125°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in low-power sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - reduces quiescent power by >90% during system sleep modes |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤400 mV at 10 mA load - allows operation from 2.9 V supply, compatible with single Li-ion or 3.3 V LDO rails |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains output stability under dynamic load changes up to 20 mA |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 275 µVPP - suitable for 16-bit+ precision measurement systems without additional filtering |
Pinout & Package
LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (package code DBV, R-PDSO-G5), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect), pin 2 is GND, pin 3 is EN, pin 4 is VIN, and pin 5 is VREF - confirmed per TI SNVS475E datasheet Figure 2 and PIN DESCRIPTIONS table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating; not internally bonded - no routing or grounding required |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current; requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Digital enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥65% of VIN enables output; ≤35% of VIN disables output into 3–7 µA shutdown |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.9 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision 2.5 V output | Delivers regulated 2.5 V to ADC references, DAC bias, or comparator thresholds; stable with 0–10 µF load capacitance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to 3–7 µA, enabling ultra-low-power duty-cycled operation in portable systems |
| No external stabilization capacitor | Eliminates BOM cost and board space for compensation components while ensuring stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads |
| Low dropout voltage | 400 mV max at 10 mA allows direct use from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or 3.3 V system rails without pre-regulation |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics | Supports X5R/X7R MLCCs as input/output bypass - avoids instability risks associated with tantalum or electrolytic capacitors |
| Indefinite short-circuit protection | Limits output current to 75 mA during fault conditions, preventing device damage and enabling robust field deployment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V, 0.2% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 - no enable pin, 3-pin footprint | Requires external enable circuitry if shutdown needed; lower tempco but no integrated EN logic | Select when board space is constrained and shutdown is managed externally; verify layout compatibility with 3-pin vs 5-pin footprint |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, 0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - higher precision, higher IQ, same pinout | Better stability for metrology-grade systems; higher supply current reduces battery life in portable designs | Choose when 10 ppm/°C tempco and 0.1% accuracy justify 100% IQ increase; confirm thermal design handles extra dissipation |

FAQ
What is the initial accuracy specification for LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB is a C-grade device with ±0.5% initial output voltage accuracy at 25°C, meaning its 2.5 V output falls between 2.4875 V and 2.5125 V under nominal conditions. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for LM4128-2.5 in TI SNVS475E, where LM4128C-2.5 specifies −0.5% to +0.5% limits. The 'D' in the part number denotes the C grade per TI's ordering nomenclature.
Does LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes, LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB requires an input capacitor (CIN) for stable operation. Per TI SNVS475E Section "Component Selection", CIN must be ≥0.1 µF when no output capacitor is used, and CIN ≥ COUT when an output capacitor is present. A ceramic X5R or X7R capacitor placed close to the VIN and GND pins is mandatory to prevent oscillation and ensure transient response integrity.
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB?
LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB supports up to 20 mA of continuous output current, as specified in both the FEATURES list and Operating Ratings section of the TI SNVS475E datasheet. Load regulation remains within 25–120 ppm/mA across this range, and the device includes indefinite short-circuit protection limiting output current to 75 mA during fault conditions.
Can LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB operate from a 3.0 V supply?
Yes, LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB can operate from a 3.0 V supply. Its minimum input voltage is VREF + 400 mV = 2.9 V at 10 mA load, per the Electrical Characteristics table. At 3.0 V input, it delivers full 2.5 V output with specified line regulation (50 ppm/V) and maintains stability - making it compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and regulated 3.3 V rails.
Is LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB AEC-Q100 qualified?
No, LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the LM4128AQ/BQ/CQ/DQ variants are explicitly stated as AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified in the datasheet FEATURES section. LM4128DMF-2.5/NOPB is a commercial-grade part rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature but lacks automotive qualification documentation or flow certification.
