Product details
Overview
LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 2.048 V output with ±1.0% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode, supports up to 20 mA load, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its grade-D accuracy tolerance, dropout voltage of 400 mV at 10 mA, stability with 10 µF capacitive loads, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB is a band-gap-based series voltage reference with internal enable logic and no external stabilization capacitor required. Its architecture ensures stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors up to 10 µF on the output and mandates ≥0.1 µF input capacitance.
It operates across VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V, delivers 2.048 V nominal output, and maintains regulation under load currents from 0 to 20 mA while exhibiting 25–120 ppm/mA load regulation and ≤100 ppm/V line regulation - critical for high-resolution ADC biasing and precision regulator feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AASA20+ | 2.048 V, ±0.06% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 75 µA IQ, SO-8 package | Higher precision and lower drift; requires larger PCB area and higher cost | Select when system-level accuracy demands <0.1% total error over temperature and time |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed initial accuracy of LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB over temperature?
The LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB is a Grade-D device with guaranteed ±1.0% initial accuracy at 25°C, and this tolerance applies across the full −40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature range per TI's SNVS475E datasheet. No additional derating is specified; the ±1.0% limit is ensured via production test and statistical correlation.
Does LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor to remain stable?
No - LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB is internally compensated and stable with or without an output capacitor. It remains stable driving capacitive loads up to 10 µF, though adding COUT (e.g., 1 µF ceramic) improves load transient response. An input capacitor (≥0.1 µF) is mandatory for stable operation.
What does the "Q" suffix in LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB indicate?
"Q" denotes AEC-Q100 qualification. LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB is manufactured on an automotive-grade flow and certified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards (−40°C to +125°C), including stress testing for reliability in automotive environments - distinct from commercial-grade LM4128xMF2.0/NOPB variants.
Can LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB be used with a 2.5 V input supply?
No - LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV = 2.448 V minimum for regulation. At 2.5 V input, it operates within specification and delivers full 20 mA load capability. Below 2.448 V, output regulation is not guaranteed and VREF drops nonlinearly.
What is the maximum continuous output current for LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB?
LM4128DQ1MF2.0/NOPB is rated for up to 20 mA continuous output current under all operating conditions (−40°C to +125°C, VIN ≤5.5 V). Short-circuit current is limited to 75 mA, enabling safe operation into fault conditions without damage.
