Product details
Overview
LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 1.8 V output with ±1.0% initial accuracy (Grade D), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3–7 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 LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB pinout, LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB application, or LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal stability data, enable logic thresholds, dropout behavior at 10 mA, and real-world noise performance (170 µVPP, 0.1–10 Hz) critical for low-power precision ADC biasing and closed-loop regulator references.
Technical Context
The LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB uses a band-gap-derived architecture optimized for low quiescent current and high PSRR (≥60 dB at 1 kHz). Its internal enable circuit includes a 2 µA pull-up, requiring external drive below 35% of VIN for disable and above 65% for enable - compatible with standard CMOS logic levels when VIN ≥ 2.5 V.
It achieves stability without mandatory output capacitance but requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic CIN (X5R/X7R); it drives capacitive loads up to 10 µF while maintaining <100 µs turn-on time under typical conditions. Dropout is specified at 200–400 mV (10 mA load), enabling operation from single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rails with margin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V nominal, ±1.0% initial accuracy (Grade D) - ensures ≤±18 mV absolute error at 25°C for 12-bit ADC reference scaling |
| Tempco | 100 ppm/°C max (−40°C to +125°C) - contributes ≤±180 µV/°C drift, limiting total error to <±22 mV across full range |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical (active), 3–7 µA in shutdown - enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA average-current portable systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 200–400 mV at 10 mA load - allows operation from 2.0 V input (e.g., discharged LiFePO4) while maintaining regulation |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 170 µVPP - supports 16-bit SAR ADCs without additional filtering in precision data acquisition |
| Enable Thresholds | VIL ≤35% VIN, VIH ≥65% VIN - ensures robust interface with 1.8 V or 3.3 V GPIO without level shifters |
| Long-Term Stability | 50 ppm over 1000 hours - guarantees <±90 µV drift in field-deployed medical or industrial sensors |
Pinout & Package
LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package per JEDEC MO-178AB, with 0.95 mm pitch and 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. Pin 1 is NC (no connect), requiring floating connection; thermal pad is absent.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; no internal bond wire - floating prevents parasitic coupling or ESD path disruption |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return for reference output and enable logic; requires low-impedance PCB plane tie to minimize noise injection |
| 3 (EN) | Digital enable control | Active-high input with internal 2 µA pull-up; driven low (<0.63 V @ 3.3 V VIN) disables output and reduces current to ≤7 µA |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.2 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 5 (VREF) | Precision reference output | 1.8 V regulated source capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads; sensitive to trace inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Grade-D precision | ±1.0% initial accuracy and 100 ppm/°C tempco - balances cost and performance for non-critical industrial sensing |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to 3–7 µA - enables duty-cycled operation in wireless sensor nodes without external switches |
| Capacitor-flexible stability | Stable with 0–10 µF output capacitance and ≥0.1 µF input capacitance - eliminates need for custom compensation networks |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) - qualified for engine control, ADAS camera modules, and body electronics |
| Low-noise output | 170 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - meets noise floor requirements for 16-bit delta-sigma ADCs in portable test equipment |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AUT18+T | 0.06% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 65 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 | Higher precision and lower drift - suited for metrology-grade instruments where LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB's ±1% error is insufficient | Select MAX6126AUT18+T when 14-bit+ system accuracy demands sub-100 ppm total error budget; verify layout compatibility with tighter noise immunity requirements |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is 6 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 5.5 V per the Electrical Characteristics table. Exceeding 5.5 V risks violating the Absolute Maximum Ratings and may cause permanent damage or parametric shift. The device functions correctly within VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.2 V) up to 5.5 V at 10 mA load.
Does LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is stable without an external output capacitor and is rated for capacitive loads up to 10 µF. An output capacitor (COUT) is optional but improves load transient response when switching between light and heavy loads. If used, low-ESR ceramic types (X5R/X7R) are recommended and must be placed close to the VREF and GND pins.
What is the function of Pin 1 (NC) on LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB?
Pin 1 on LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is a no-connect terminal with no internal connection. It must remain electrically floating - neither tied to GND nor routed - to avoid introducing parasitic coupling paths or compromising ESD protection integrity. This pin has no role in thermal dissipation or signal routing.
How does the enable pin (Pin 3) behave in LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB?
The enable pin (Pin 3) on LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is active-high with an internal 2 µA pull-up. When pulled below 35% of VIN, the device enters shutdown mode (IQ ≤7 µA); when driven above 65% of VIN, it enables the reference output. It is not 5 V tolerant if VIN < 5 V, and must never exceed VIN to prevent malfunction.
Is LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4128DQ1MFX1.8/NOPB is LM4128DQ-grade and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C), manufactured on an automotive-grade flow. It is explicitly listed in TI's documentation for automotive and industrial electronics, with validated performance across temperature cycling, thermal hysteresis (75 ppm), and long-term stability - making it appropriate for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics.
