Product details
Overview
LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering a nominal 2.048 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, supports up to 20 mA load current, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for portable instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.048 V reference voltage, C-grade accuracy and tempco, dropout voltage of ≤400 mV at 10 mA, stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB is a band-gap-based series voltage reference with internal enable logic that pulls the output to high-impedance when EN is low. Its architecture eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability across 0–10 µF capacitive loads and 0–20 mA resistive loads.
It operates with VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.448 V at 10 mA), delivers 2.048 V with guaranteed line regulation ≤70 ppm/V and load regulation ≤120 ppm/mA, and exhibits 190 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise - optimized for high-resolution ADC biasing and precision regulator feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal; enables direct interface with 12-bit ADCs (e.g., 2.048 V = 1 LSB per mV) |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% (C grade); ensures ≤10.24 mV absolute error at 25°C without calibration |
| Tempco | ≤100 ppm/°C; limits drift to ≤25.6 µV/°C over −40°C to +125°C |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical; allows >1-year operation on a 220 mAh coin cell at 10 µA average system load |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V; reduces quiescent power by >90% during sleep cycles |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤400 mV at 10 mA; permits operation from 2.45 V sources (e.g., single LiFePO₄ cell) |
| Output Noise | 190 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz); contributes <0.1 LSB error in 16-bit 2.048 V full-scale systems |
Pinout & Package
LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package - compact footprint (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with SN lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; floating; no internal connection |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current and load current; requires low-impedance PCB tie to system AGND |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable input | Pulled up internally (~2 µA); drives output active when ≥65% of VIN; disables output when <35% of VIN |
| 4 - VIN | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.448 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF by ≥400 mV for specified load performance |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 2.048 V; stable into 10 µF capacitive loads; requires 0.1 µF minimum CIN |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to ≤7 µA, enabling low-power duty-cycled sensing architectures |
| No external capacitor required | Stable with zero output capacitance; eliminates BOM cost and layout area for COUT |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3020AIDBZR | 2.048 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy (A grade), 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 | No enable pin; fixed 3-pin configuration; lower noise (110 µVPP) but no shutdown capability | Select when highest accuracy and lowest noise are prioritized over power gating and design flexibility |
| ADR3420ARJZ-R7 | 2.048 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy (A grade), 30 ppm/°C max tempco, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 | Higher supply current; tighter tempco; same pinout but different enable threshold (VIH = 1.2 V min) | Select when ultra-low drift (<1 µV/°C) is critical and 60 µA vs. 120 µA IQ is acceptable |
Compared with REF3020AIDBZR and ADR3420ARJZ-R7, LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB offers unique trade-offs: moderate accuracy with integrated enable control and ultra-low shutdown current - making it optimal for intermittently powered systems where dynamic power management outweighs marginal improvements in static precision.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB is a C-grade device with ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C and a maximum temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C. Over the full −40°C to +125°C junction range, total output variation is bounded by ±0.5% plus drift ≤100 ppm/°C × 165°C = ±1.65%, resulting in worst-case tolerance of ±2.15% - verified per TI's SNVS475E datasheet Section 6.5.
Does LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes - LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) connected between VIN and GND. If an output capacitor (COUT) is used, CIN must be ≥ COUT. This is mandatory for stability and transient immunity, as confirmed in the "Component Selection" section of the SNVS475E datasheet.
What is the maximum load current supported by LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB?
LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB supports up to 20 mA output current, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables of the SNVS475E datasheet. At 20 mA, dropout remains ≤400 mV, and output voltage deviation stays within load regulation limits (≤120 ppm/mA).
Can LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB drive a 10 µF ceramic capacitor directly?
Yes - LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB is explicitly characterized for stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR X5R/X7R ceramics. No series resistance or isolation is required, unlike many older references; this is validated in Figure 20 and the "Stable with Low ESR Ceramic Capacitors" feature bullet.
What does the 'D' in LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB indicate?
The 'D' in LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB denotes the device grade: D-grade parts have ±1.0% initial accuracy and 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient. However, per TI's packaging addendum and SNVS475E datasheet Table 1, the 'D' suffix in this part number is inconsistent with standard LM4128 grading - LM4128DMFX-2.0/NOPB is in fact a C-grade device (±0.5%, 100 ppm/°C), as confirmed by its marking code R5BA and production status in TI's official DBV package documentation.
