Product details
Overview
LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 3.3 V output with ±1.0% initial accuracy, 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, and operates from −40°C to +125°C - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB pinout, LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB application, or LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤400 mV at 10 mA), line regulation (85 ppm/V), load regulation (25–120 ppm/mA), and stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB is a band-gap-based series voltage reference optimized for low-power, high-accuracy applications. Its internal architecture eliminates need for external stabilization capacitors while maintaining stability with output capacitance up to 10 µF and enabling operation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors only.
It integrates an enable input (EN) referenced to VIN, with VIH ≥65% VIN and VIL ≤35% VIN, allowing direct microcontroller GPIO control. The device achieves 75–100 ppm/°C tempco depending on grade (D-grade = 100 ppm/°C), and exhibits 310 µVPP integrated noise (0.1–10 Hz) at 3.3 V output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal, ±1.0% initial accuracy (D-grade) - ensures stable ADC reference or DAC bias within 33 mV tolerance at room temperature. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 100 ppm/°C max over −40°C to +125°C - contributes ≤±33 mV drift across full operating range. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical, ≤100 µA max - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes drawing <100 µA quiescent current. |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - reduces system standby power by >90% vs active mode. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA load - allows operation from 3.475 V input, compatible with single-cell LiFePO₄ or regulated 3.6 V rails. |
| Load Regulation | 25–120 ppm/mA - maintains output stability under dynamic load changes typical in multiplexed data acquisition systems. |
| Line Regulation | 85 ppm/V over VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V - rejects ripple and variation in upstream LDO or DC-DC converter outputs. |
Pinout & Package
LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB uses the 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 N/C (no connect); pins are arranged top-view as: Pin 1 (N/C), Pin 2 (GND), Pin 3 (EN), Pin 4 (VIN), Pin 5 (VREF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no PCB trace or pad connection required. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal bias; requires low-impedance connection to clean analog ground plane. |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls up internally (~2 µA); drives into shutdown when pulled ≤35% VIN. |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 3.7 V to 5.5 V; must exceed VREF + 400 mV for regulation; bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision reference output | 3.3 V source capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with 0–10 µF capacitive loads; low-noise node requiring short, shielded routing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB is 6 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. For reliable regulation, VIN must be ≥3.7 V (VREF + 400 mV) and ≤5.5 V per the Electrical Characteristics table in the SNVS475E datasheet.
Does LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB require an input capacitor?
Yes, LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) connected between VIN and GND. This capacitor is mandatory for stability and noise suppression. If an output capacitor (COUT) is used, CIN must be ≥ COUT. Larger values (e.g., 4.7–22 µF) further reduce startup overshoot and supply noise coupling.
What is the function of Pin 1 (N/C) on LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB?
Pin 1 on LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB is a no-connect (N/C) terminal and must remain unconnected and electrically floating. It has no internal connection and serves only as a mechanical placeholder in the SOT-23 (DBV) package. PCB layout must omit any trace, pad, or solder mask opening for Pin 1 to avoid unintended coupling or stress-induced parametric shift.
Can LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB drive a 10 µF capacitive load?
Yes, LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, including low-ESR ceramic types. Unlike many references, it does not require series resistance or external compensation. This capability simplifies design in applications like precision DAC buffers or fast-settling ADC references where large output capacitance improves transient response.
Is LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4128DQ1MFX3.3/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C junction temperature), manufactured on an automotive-grade flow, and marked as LM4128DQ-series. Its datasheet specifies automotive-grade testing, packaging, and reliability metrics - making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems such as cabin sensors, body control modules, and infotainment power management.
