Product details
Overview
LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower series voltage reference in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering 4.096 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 LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB datasheet, LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB pinout, LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB application, or LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance, and real-world design context for precision analog subsystems requiring stable 4.096 V reference rails.
Technical Context
The LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB implements a band-gap-based series voltage reference architecture with internal enable control logic and low-dropout regulation. Its output remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF and requires only a minimum 0.1 µF input capacitor (CIN ≥ COUT).
It operates across VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V at 10 mA load, delivers 4.096 V nominal output with guaranteed 1.0% initial tolerance (Grade D), and maintains ≤100 ppm/°C tempco over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range - meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for automotive electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096 V nominal - matches standard 12-bit DAC full-scale reference and enables direct interface with 4.096 V ADC reference inputs. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1.0% (Grade D) - ensures worst-case output deviation ≤ ±41 mV at 25°C, sufficient for 8-bit system calibration. |
| Tempco | ≤100 ppm/°C - contributes ≤±410 µV/°C drift, limiting total error to < ±49 mV across −40°C to +125°C. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Shutdown Current | 3–7 µA with EN = 0 V - reduces quiescent power by >90% during sleep cycles without external circuitry. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175–400 mV at 10 mA - allows operation from 4.5 V supply while maintaining regulation, compatible with 5 V rail systems. |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 350 µVPP - supports 14-bit effective resolution in low-frequency measurement applications. |
Pinout & Package
LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package per TI package code DBV (R-PDSO-G5), with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no PCB trace or via allowed. |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal bias; requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: VIH ≥ 65% VIN enables output; VIL ≤ 35% VIN forces shutdown (IQ ≤ 7 µA). |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 4.496 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 4.096 V ±1.0%; drives capacitive loads up to 10 µF and resistive loads down to 205 Ω (20 mA). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Grade D automotive qualification | LM4128DQ variant qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), manufactured on automotive flow with traceable lot control. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance and temperature coefficient of LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB?
The LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB has a nominal output voltage of 4.096 V with ±1.0% initial accuracy (Grade D) and a maximum temperature coefficient of 100 ppm/°C over −40°C to +125°C. These values are fully specified and production-tested per the SNVS475E datasheet, ensuring predictable performance in automotive and industrial environments where thermal stability is critical. The LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements with these parameters guaranteed across its full operating range.
Does LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB require an external output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB is internally compensated and stable without an external output capacitor. It remains stable with capacitive loads up to 10 µF, allowing optional COUT placement to improve load transient response. However, a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) is mandatory - and must satisfy CIN ≥ COUT if an output capacitor is used. This design eliminates dependency on external components for basic functionality, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count for the LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB.
What is the shutdown current and enable logic behavior of LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB?
The LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB draws 3–7 µA in shutdown mode when the EN pin is driven low (VIL ≤ 35% VIN). The enable pin is active-high with VIH ≥ 65% VIN required to activate regulation. An internal ~2 µA pull-up allows EN to be left floating or tied directly to VIN for always-on operation. This behavior is explicitly characterized in the Electrical Characteristics table of the LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB datasheet and applies across the full temperature range.
Is LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified device, manufactured on an automotive-grade process flow and tested across −40°C to +125°C. The "Q" suffix denotes automotive qualification, and the part marking "DQ" confirms Grade D accuracy with Grade 1 thermal rating. TI's packaging documentation explicitly lists LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB under automotive status, making it suitable for ECU, body control, and ADAS sensor interface applications without additional qualification.
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB to maintain regulation at 10 mA load?
The LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV to maintain regulation at 10 mA load, resulting in a minimum input voltage of 4.496 V. This dropout specification is guaranteed across temperature and load conditions, with typical dropout as low as 175 mV at 10 mA and 25°C. The device ceases regulation if VIN falls below this threshold, and recovery occurs within microseconds once VIN rises above the limit - a behavior confirmed in the SNVS475E datasheet's Dropout Voltage and Line Regulation sections for the LM4128DQ1MFX4.1/NOPB.
