Product details
Overview
LM4132BMF-4.1 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) voltage reference IC delivering a stable 4.096 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy (B-grade), 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (0°C to 85°C), and 60 µA quiescent current - used in high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing, portable instrumentation, and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132BMF-4.1 datasheet, LM4132BMF-4.1 pinout, LM4132BMF-4.1 application, or LM4132BMF-4.1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (175 mV at 10 mA), enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), load regulation (25 ppm/mA), and SOT-23-5 compatibility with ceramic capacitors only.
Technical Context
The LM4132BMF-4.1 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS bandgap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level precision without laser trimming, correcting curvature, tempco, and accuracy at package level to overcome plastic-package assembly shifts. It operates as a series reference, eliminating idle current waste inherent in shunt types.
Its enable pin supports active-high logic control (VIH = 65% VIN), allowing fast transition between 60 µA operating mode and 3 µA shutdown. The device sustains 20 mA output current without requiring an output capacitor or buffer amplifier - a key differentiator among LDO references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096 V ±0.1% (B-grade, 25°C); enables direct interface with 12-bit ADCs using VREF = VDD/2 scaling |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.1% (B-grade); guarantees ≤4.1 mV absolute error at 25°C for calibration-critical systems |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C); contributes ≤0.34 mV drift over industrial range, supporting <0.01% system gain stability |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load; allows operation from 4.271 V input, compatible with single-cell Li-ion or 5 V rails with margin |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical; enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA sleep-mode systems with periodic wake-up sampling |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max; reduces standby power by 95% vs active mode, critical for always-on sensor nodes |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA; ensures ≤0.1 mV output shift across full 20 mA load range, preserving reference integrity under dynamic loads |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect | Must remain unconnected; floating; no internal connection or function |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and supply current; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| 3 - EN | Enable input | Active-high digital control: VIH ≥ 65% VIN enables output; VIL ≤ 35% VIN disables output |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 4.496 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 - VREF | Reference output | 4.096 V precision source; drives up to 20 mA; stable without COUT but benefits from 1–10 nF local decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-trimmed CMOS bandgap | Eliminates post-assembly accuracy degradation in plastic SOT-23 packages, achieving 0.1% initial tolerance without laser trimming |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current from 60 µA to 3 µA, enabling ultra-low-power duty-cycled operation in portable and remote sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3340AIDBVR | Fixed 4.096 V, 30 ppm/°C max tempco (–40°C to +125°C), 6 µA IQ, no enable pin, SOT-23-3 | Lacks enable control and has higher tempco; suited for always-on, ultra-low-power apps where shutdown is unnecessary | Select when minimizing quiescent current (<6 µA) is primary, and enable functionality is not required |
| ADR3440ARJZ-R7 | 4.096 V, 10 ppm/°C max tempco, 120 µA IQ, no enable, SOT-23-5, higher initial accuracy (±0.12%) but no shutdown mode | Higher supply current and no enable pin limit use in battery-powered cycling systems | Choose when long-term stability (15 ppm/1000 hrs) and lower noise (25 µVPP) outweigh need for shutdown capability |
Compared with REF3340AIDBVR and ADR3440ARJZ-R7, the LM4132BMF-4.1 uniquely balances ultra-low shutdown current (3 µA), precision tempco (10 ppm/°C), and integrated enable control in SOT-23-5 - making it optimal for portable, duty-cycled, and automotive-qualified systems demanding both accuracy and power agility.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM4132BMF-4.1 at 25°C?
The LM4132BMF-4.1 has a guaranteed initial output voltage tolerance of ±0.1% at 25°C (B-grade specification), meaning its 4.096 V output falls within 4.0919 V to 4.1001 V under nominal conditions. This tolerance is production-tested and applies before thermal or long-term drift effects.
Does the LM4132BMF-4.1 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132BMF-4.1 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor - a key advantage over many voltage references. A 1–10 nF ceramic capacitor may be added locally to reduce high-frequency noise, but it is not required for loop stability per TI's validated design guidelines.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM4132BMF-4.1 to maintain regulation?
The LM4132BMF-4.1 requires a minimum input voltage of VREF + 400 mV = 4.496 V to maintain regulation at full load (20 mA). At 10 mA load, its dropout voltage is 175 mV, so 4.271 V input suffices - verified across –40°C to +125°C per Electrical Characteristics Table 6.11.
How does the enable pin of the LM4132BMF-4.1 function?
The LM4132BMF-4.1 enable pin (Pin 3) is active-high: output is enabled when voltage exceeds 65% of VIN, and disabled when below 35% of VIN. In shutdown, supply current drops to ≤3 µA. No pull-up or pull-down is required - the pin is CMOS-compatible and internally biased.
Is the LM4132BMF-4.1 qualified for automotive applications?
The LM4132BMF-4.1 is the commercial-grade variant; however, it shares identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) packaging, electrical architecture, and thermal specifications with the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified LM4132QDBVR-4.1. Its design basis and process flow support automotive use, though formal qualification applies only to the -Q1 suffix part.
