Product details
Overview
LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/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 (Grade D), 100 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient, and 60 µA supply current. It features an enable pin for 3–7 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 LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB application, or LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, low 0.1–10 Hz noise (190 µVPP), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB uses a band-gap-derived reference core optimized for micropower operation and low thermal hysteresis (75 ppm). Its enable-controlled architecture allows seamless transition between active (60 µA) and shutdown (3–7 µA) states without external circuitry.
Designed as a series reference, it eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability with COUT ≤10 µF and requires only CIN ≥0.1 µF. Input voltage range is VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V, supporting operation from single Li-ion cells and low-dropout regulators.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB supports up to 20 mA output current while maintaining specified load regulation (≤120 ppm/mA). This capability allows direct driving of op-amp bias networks, ADC reference inputs, and small-signal DACs without external buffering. Exceeding 20 mA may cause output voltage deviation beyond datasheet limits and trigger internal current limiting.
Does the LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB require an external output capacitor?
No, the LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. An optional COUT (up to 10 µF) improves load transient response but is not required for stability. The mandatory CIN (≥0.1 µF ceramic) must be placed close to the VIN and GND pins to ensure proper startup and noise immunity.
What does the 'DQ' suffix indicate in LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The 'DQ' denotes Grade D (±1.0% initial accuracy) and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. '1MF' specifies the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 'X2.0' indicates the 2.048 V output voltage, and '/NOPB' confirms lead-free (RoHS-compliant) matte tin finish. This full ordering code uniquely identifies the automotive-qualified, 2.048 V, Grade D variant.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB?
The EN pin is active-high: applying ≥65% of VIN enables the reference output (VREF), while ≤35% of VIN places LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB in shutdown mode drawing only 3–7 µA. The internal pull-up (~2 µA) allows direct connection to VIN for always-on operation. Driving EN externally enables synchronized power gating in multi-rail systems.
Is the LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB compatible with ceramic capacitors having low ESR?
Yes, the LM4128DQ1MFX2.0/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R types). Using such capacitors on VIN and optionally on VREF minimizes high-frequency noise coupling and improves transient response. High-ESR capacitors (e.g., aluminum electrolytic) are not recommended and may compromise stability.
