Product details
Overview
LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade precision low-dropout voltage reference IC delivering a stable 2.5 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (0°C to 85°C), and 60 µA quiescent current. It features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode and supports up to 20 mA load current in SOT-23-5 packaging - ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in automotive instrumentation and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 datasheet, LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 pinout, LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 application, or LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of specifications, validated pin functions, automotive-qualified operating limits, and confirmed alternative options for precision voltage reference selection.
Technical Context
The LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, enabling laser-trimmed-level performance without laser trimming. Its internal LDO structure delivers regulated 2.5 V output with dropout as low as 175 mV at 10 mA load and no mandatory output capacitor requirement.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, and integrates an enable input with 35% VIN low threshold and 65% VIN high threshold - supporting controlled power sequencing in automotive ECUs and industrial sensors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.05% (A-grade initial accuracy) - ensures ≤1.25 mV absolute error at 25°C for 16-bit ADC reference stability |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C) - contributes ≤0.21 mV drift over industrial temperature range, critical for precision sensor signal chains |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA-systems with periodic wake-up sampling |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max at EN = 0 V - reduces standby power by 95% vs active mode, essential for always-on automotive modules |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load - allows operation from 2.675 V supply, compatible with single-cell LiFePO₄ or boosted coin cells |
| Line Regulation | 50 ppm/V (2.9 V to 5.5 V input) - maintains <125 µV output shift across full input range, minimizing supply-induced errors |
| Output Noise | 240 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - supports 18-bit effective resolution in low-frequency data acquisition systems |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is NC (no connect); pin 2 is GND; pin 3 is EN; pin 4 is VIN; pin 5 is VREF.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Must remain floating - no PCB trace or thermal pad connection; internal die bond wire stub only |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal band-gap core; requires dedicated low-impedance plane |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Digital enable input | Active-high logic control: drives internal pass device; VIH ≥ 65% VIN ensures robust noise margin in noisy automotive environments |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.9 V to 5.5 V; minimum headroom = VREF + 400 mV - defines lowest usable battery voltage before regulation loss |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision output terminal | Delivers 2.5 V ±0.05%; capable of sourcing 20 mA - eliminates need for external buffer in moderate-load applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation in automotive ECUs, including thermal cycling and HBM ±2 kV ESD robustness |
| EEPROM-trimmed curvature compensation | Eliminates need for external calibration; achieves 10 ppm/°C tempco without laser trimming or post-assembly adjustment |
| Capacitor-free stability | Operates reliably with only 1 µF ceramic CIN; removes COUT dependency - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained modules |
| Low dropout with high output current | 175 mV dropout at 10 mA enables use with low-voltage rails while sustaining 20 mA drive - suitable for powering SAR ADC references and op-amp bias networks |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces IQ to 3 µA, cutting system standby power by orders of magnitude - critical for ISO 16750-compliant sleep-mode compliance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AASA25+ | 2.5 V, ±0.02% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 1.2 mA quiescent current, SO-8 package | Higher accuracy and lower tempco but 20× higher IQ - unsuitable for battery operation; requires output capacitor | Select when ultimate long-term stability and ultra-low drift outweigh power and board space constraints |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, ±0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5, non-automotive grade | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and enable pin; same footprint but no shutdown capability | Select for cost-sensitive industrial applications where automotive qualification and low-power shutdown are not required |
Compared with MAX6126AASA25+ and ADR3425ARJZ-R7, the LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 uniquely balances automotive qualification, sub-100 µA operation, integrated enable control, and SOT-23-5 footprint - making it the only option meeting all three requirements simultaneously in space- and power-constrained automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM4132AQ1MFR2.5?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 is 6 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V may degrade long-term reliability or trigger internal protection circuits. The device requires a minimum input of VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.9 V) to maintain regulation at full load, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
Does LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. The datasheet explicitly states COUT is optional, and typical applications use only the required 1 µF ceramic CIN on VIN. Adding COUT may improve PSRR at high frequencies but is not necessary for basic regulation stability or transient response.
What does the 'Q1' suffix indicate in LM4132AQ1MFR2.5?
The 'Q1' suffix denotes AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications, specifically Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient). This includes stress testing for temperature cycling, HBM ESD (±2 kV), and other automotive reliability requirements - distinguishing it from commercial-grade LM4132 variants like LM4132AMF2.5.
Can LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 drive a 10 kΩ load directly?
Yes. With a 2.5 V output and maximum 20 mA output current, LM4132AQ1MFR2.5 can directly drive a 10 kΩ load (drawing 250 µA) while maintaining regulation within specification. Load regulation is specified at ≤25 ppm/mA, so 250 µA load introduces <6.25 ppm (0.156 µV) error - well within its ±0.05% accuracy window.
Is the NC pin (Pin 1) safe to connect to ground or leave unconnected?
Pin 1 is a true no-connect (NC) terminal and must be left floating - neither grounded nor tied to any net. TI's datasheet specifies "No connect pin, leave floating", and internal characterization confirms no electrical connection to die. Connecting it risks unintended current paths or parasitic coupling that could affect reference accuracy or noise performance.
