Product details
Overview
LM4132BMFX-2.5 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) series voltage reference IC delivering a stable 2.5 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy (B-grade), 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (0°C to 85°C), 60 µA quiescent current, and 20 mA output drive capability - used in high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing, portable instrumentation, and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132BMFX-2.5 datasheet, LM4132BMFX-2.5 pinout, LM4132BMFX-2.5 application, or LM4132BMFX-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (175 mV at 10 mA), enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), stability with ceramic capacitors, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4132BMFX-2.5 implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, enabling laser-trimmed-level precision without laser trimming. It operates as a series reference with internal error amplifier, pass transistor, and enable-controlled bias circuitry.
Its LDO architecture supports input voltages from (VREF + 400 mV) to 5.5 V, delivers regulated 2.5 V output without requiring an output capacitor, and features rail-to-rail enable logic thresholds (35% and 65% of VIN) for robust digital control in mixed-signal systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the LM4132BMFX-2.5?
The LM4132BMFX-2.5 supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V across its specified operating temperature range. Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device also requires a minimum input of VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.9 V) to maintain regulation at full load.
Does the LM4132BMFX-2.5 require an output capacitor to remain stable?
No, the LM4132BMFX-2.5 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. However, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor at the VREF pin is recommended to reduce high-frequency noise and improve transient response - especially in noisy environments or when driving capacitive loads.
What does the 'B' in LM4132BMFX-2.5 indicate?
The 'B' denotes the initial output voltage accuracy grade: ±0.1% at 25°C. This grade sits between the tighter A-grade (±0.05%) and looser C-grade (±0.2%), offering a balance of precision and cost for industrial and portable instrumentation applications where moderate calibration tolerance is acceptable.
Can the LM4132BMFX-2.5 be used in automotive applications?
The LM4132BMFX-2.5 is the commercial-grade version, rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature but not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4132-Q1 series (e.g., LM4132BQMF-2.5), which undergoes full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 stress testing and includes automotive-specific documentation and traceability.
How does the enable pin function on the LM4132BMFX-2.5?
The EN pin is active-high with built-in hysteresis: the device turns on when EN rises above 65% of VIN and shuts down when EN falls below 35% of VIN. In shutdown, supply current drops to 3 µA typical, and VREF enters high-impedance state - enabling precise power gating in multi-rail systems using the LM4132BMFX-2.5.
