Product details
Overview
LM4130AIM5X-2.5 from Texas Instruments is a precision micropower low-dropout voltage reference IC delivering 2.500 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and ≤275 mV dropout at 10 mA-designed for high-stability analog signal chains in portable instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4130AIM5X-2.5 datasheet, LM4130AIM5X-2.5 pinout, LM4130AIM5X-2.5 application, or LM4130AIM5X-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed −40°C to +85°C full-accuracy operation, capacitive-load stability up to 100 µF without external buffer, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4130AIM5X-2.5 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS bandgap architecture to correct curvature, tempco, and initial accuracy at package level-enabling laser-trimmed performance without laser trimming. Its internal correction eliminates post-assembly drift compensation typically required in plastic-packaged references.
It operates as a series (shunt-independent) reference with no mandatory output capacitor, supports load currents up to 20 mA, and maintains <1 Ω output impedance across temperature and load-making it suitable for direct ADC reference, precision regulator feedback, and sensor excitation circuits without buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V ±0.05% (ensured over −40°C to +85°C; enables 16-bit ADC reference with <1 LSB error) |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C max (Box method; ensures <±200 µV drift over full industrial range) |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤275 mV @ 10 mA (allows operation from 2.775 V supply; critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems) |
| Supply Current | ≤75 μA (enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA sleep-mode systems) |
| Load Regulation | 25–60 ppm/mA (translates to <150 µV change per mA load shift; supports dynamic sensor biasing) |
| Output Noise | 150 μVPP (0.1 Hz–10 Hz; meets low-noise precision amplifier and sigma-delta ADC requirements) |
| Capacitive Load Stability | 0–100 µF (eliminates need for output buffer; simplifies layout and reduces BOM count) |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 surface-mount package (2.92 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm), tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly. Pin 1 and Pin 3 are internally terminated no-connects.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | 2.5 V, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 50 ppm/°C tempco, 50 μA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Lacks EEPROM trim; lower accuracy grade; no NC pins; smaller footprint but no VIN/VREF separation | Lower cost where ±0.2% accuracy suffices and board layout cannot accommodate SOT23-5 pin spacing |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 μA supply current, SOT23-5 package | Higher supply current; no guaranteed 125°C operation; different pinout (VOUT, GND, VIN, NC, NC) | Preferred when tighter long-term stability (<30 ppm/1000 hrs) is required and higher quiescent current is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM4130AIM5X-2.5?
The LM4130AIM5X-2.5 is fully specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C, with all key parameters-including output voltage accuracy, tempco, and dropout-guaranteed across this range. Extended operation to +125°C is possible but not characterized for full accuracy; design margins should be applied for such use cases. The LM4130AIM5X-2.5 datasheet confirms these limits in its Operating Range table.
Does LM4130AIM5X-2.5 require an output capacitor?
No, the LM4130AIM5X-2.5 does not require an output capacitor and remains stable with 0 µF to 100 µF capacitive loads. An optional output capacitor improves transient response during large load steps but increases turn-on time. This capacitor-free capability eliminates buffer amplifiers and reduces BOM count-key for compact, low-power designs using the LM4130AIM5X-2.5.
What is the meaning of the 'A' grade in LM4130AIM5X-2.5?
The 'A' in LM4130AIM5X-2.5 denotes the highest accuracy grade: ±0.05% initial output voltage tolerance and ≤10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over −40°C to +85°C. This grade is achieved via EEPROM trimming of curvature, tempco, and offset-distinguishing it from lower grades (B–E) with relaxed tolerances. The LM4130AIM5X-2.5 is the only variant in the family meeting this specification at 2.500 V.
Can LM4130AIM5X-2.5 drive a 20 mA load continuously?
Yes, the LM4130AIM5X-2.5 is rated for continuous 20 mA output current, with output voltage maintained within specification under that load. Dropout voltage remains ≤275 mV at 10 mA, and thermal limits (TJMAX = 125°C, θJ-A = 220°C/W) allow safe operation at 20 mA with adequate PCB copper. The LM4130AIM5X-2.5 datasheet specifies this in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 3 on LM4130AIM5X-2.5?
Pins 1 and 3 of the LM4130AIM5X-2.5 are No Connection (NC) terminals-internally terminated and electrically isolated from the die. They must remain unconnected on the PCB. These pins exist for mechanical symmetry and package standardization in the SOT23-5 outline; routing traces or placing vias to them may introduce noise coupling or parasitic capacitance. The LM4130AIM5X-2.5 pinout diagram explicitly labels both as NC.
