Product details
Overview
LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 4.096 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy (Grade B), 75 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It supports 20 mA output current, features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB pinout, LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB application, or LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), load regulation (≤120 ppm/mA), 0.1–10 Hz noise (350 µVPP), and stability with up to 10 µF capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB uses a band-gap-derived reference core optimized for low quiescent current and minimal thermal drift. Its enable input controls internal biasing via a 2 µA pull-up, allowing clean transition between 60 µA active and 3–7 µA shutdown states without output oscillation.
It achieves stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF while requiring only a minimum 0.1 µF input capacitor (CIN ≥ COUT). The device maintains 0.5% output accuracy down to VIN = VREF + 400 mV and delivers 75 mA short-circuit current limiting with indefinite fault tolerance.

| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return path for reference core and output stage; requires dedicated ground plane tie |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Digital enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls up internally to ~2 µA; drives into 3 µA shutdown when pulled ≤35% VIN |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 4.496 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); supplies both reference core and output buffer |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision output terminal | Delivers regulated 4.096 V; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass if COUT = 0 |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB?
The LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB supports up to 20 mA output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. At 20 mA load, dropout remains within 400 mV, and load regulation is bounded at 120 ppm/mA - ensuring predictable performance in precision regulator and DAC reference applications. Exceeding 20 mA may trigger current limiting or degrade output stability.
Does LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB is designed to operate stably without an external output capacitor. However, adding a 1–10 µF ceramic capacitor (COUT) improves load transient response and reduces output noise. When used, CIN must be ≥ COUT; if COUT = 0, a minimum 0.1 µF CIN is mandatory per TI's application guidance.
What is the shutdown current of LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB?
When the EN pin is pulled low (≤35% of VIN), LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB enters shutdown mode with supply current reduced to 3–7 µA. This low-quiescent state preserves battery energy in intermittent-sampling systems. The device resumes full operation within microseconds after EN rises above 65% VIN, with typical turn-on time of 33.2 µs into 1 µF load.
Can LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load?
Yes, LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF - a key differentiator versus many competing references. This eliminates need for isolation resistors or damping networks, simplifying layout and improving transient response in high-capacitance filter or regulation stages.
What grade (A/B/C/D) does LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB correspond to?
LM4128DMF-4.1/NOPB is a Grade B device: it guarantees ±0.2% initial output voltage accuracy and 75 ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient over −40°C to +125°C. The "D" in the part number denotes the grade - consistent with TI's LM4128 family nomenclature where D = Grade B for 4.096 V variants per official packaging and datasheet documentation.
