Product details
Overview
LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 3.3 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy (Grade A), 75 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode and supports up to 20 mA load current - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB pinout, LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB application, or LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, and operation across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB implements a band-gap–derived series reference architecture with internal enable control logic and no external stabilization capacitor required. Its design ensures stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (CIN ≥ 0.1 µF, COUT optional up to 10 µF) and maintains regulation under line variations (ΔVREF/ΔVIN ≤ 85 ppm/V) and load shifts (ΔVREF/ΔILOAD ≤ 120 ppm/mA).
It operates with VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥3.7 V at 10 mA), delivers 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise, and provides indefinite short-circuit protection (75 mA limit). The device is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and manufactured on an automotive-grade flow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal, ±0.1% initial accuracy (Grade A) - enables 12-bit ADC biasing without trimming |
| Tempco | 75 ppm/°C max - ensures ≤±0.99 mV drift over −40°C to +125°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - supports >1-year battery life in 10 µA-sleep IoT sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max when EN = 0 V - allows ultra-low-power duty-cycled reference activation |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - permits operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.4 V min) or 3.3 V LDO rails |
| Load Capability | 20 mA max - drives SAR ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, and DAC buffers directly |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 310 µVPP - meets <1 LSB error budget for 16-bit 3.3 V full-scale converters |
Pinout & Package
LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (Package Number DBV, R-PDSO-G5), with 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint and 1.0 mm height. Pin 1 is N/C (no connect); pins are arranged top-view as: 1=N/C, 2=GND, 3=EN, 4=VIN, 5=VREF.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating - not bonded internally; PCB pad may be omitted or isolated |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current; requires low-impedance connection to clean AGND plane |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Digital enable input | Active-high control: VIH ≥ 65% VIN, VIL ≤ 35% VIN; internal 2 µA pull-up allows direct VIN tie if always enabled |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 3.7–5.5 V; must exceed VREF by ≥400 mV for regulation; bypass with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision output terminal | 3.3 V reference source; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads; connects to ADC REF+, DAC VREF, or op-amp non-inverting input |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external capacitor required | Stable with zero output capacitance - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for COUT in space-constrained designs |
| Capacitive load drive | Guaranteed stability with up to 10 µF ceramic output capacitance - improves transient response for pulsed ADC sampling |
| Low dropout | 200 mV typical dropout at 10 mA - enables use after low-headroom LDOs or in energy-harvesting systems |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for automotive applications (−40°C to +125°C TJ) - supports engine control, ADAS sensor modules, and infotainment power domains |
| Thermal hysteresis | 75 ppm max - ensures repeatable output voltage after thermal cycling, critical for calibration-critical test equipment |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3033AIDBZR | 3.3 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 100 ppm/°C, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 - no enable pin, 3-pin package | Lacks shutdown control; unsuitable for duty-cycled systems requiring microamp sleep states | Select when board space is constrained and continuous operation is acceptable |
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | 3.3 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 30 ppm/°C, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - lower tempco but higher quiescent current | Higher supply current reduces battery life in portable devices; superior tempco benefits high-accuracy lab equipment | Select when long-term stability and ultra-low drift outweigh power budget constraints |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB to regulate at 3.3 V?
The LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV, i.e., ≥3.7 V at 10 mA load. At lighter loads, dropout decreases - e.g., 200 mV typical at 10 mA - but 3.7 V ensures guaranteed regulation across grade, temperature, and process variation. Below this, output voltage drops nonlinearly.
Does LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB require an input capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) is required between VIN and GND for stability. If COUT > 0, then CIN ≥ COUT. For best noise performance and startup overshoot suppression, 4.7–22 µF is recommended. Mount CIN within 2 mm of pins 4 and 2 to minimize parasitic inductance.
Can LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB drive a 10 µF output capacitor, and how does it affect performance?
Yes - LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB is explicitly characterized stable with up to 10 µF capacitive loads. Adding COUT improves load transient response (e.g., 0→10 mA step) but increases turn-on time (78.8 µs for 10 µF vs. 33.2 µs for 1 µF). COUT is optional and should be omitted if fast enable/disable cycling is required.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB, and why does it matter?
LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB has a maximum thermal hysteresis of 75 ppm - meaning its output voltage at 25°C may shift by ≤±0.2475 mV after cycling from −40°C to +125°C and back. This matters in calibration-critical systems (e.g., metrology equipment) where repeatability after environmental stress is mandatory for traceable measurements.
Is LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM4128 variants like LM4128AMF-3.3/NOPB?
Yes - all LM4128xMF-x.x/NOPB variants share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout (1=N/C, 2=GND, 3=EN, 4=VIN, 5=VREF). Grade (A/B/C/D), voltage option (1.8–4.096 V), and qualification (Q vs non-Q) do not affect mechanical or electrical pin compatibility. LM4128DQ1MF3.3/NOPB replaces LM4128AMF-3.3/NOPB in automotive designs requiring Grade 1 qualification.
