Product details
Overview
LM4132CMF-1.8 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) series voltage reference IC delivering a stable 1.8 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy (C grade), 20 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C, 60 µA supply current, and 230 mV dropout at 10 mA load. It operates in SOT-23-5 package and serves as a high-stability reference for ADCs, DACs, and sensor signal chains in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132CMF-1.8 datasheet, LM4132CMF-1.8 pinout, LM4132CMF-1.8 application, or LM4132CMF-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, no requirement for output buffer, and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) - critical for battery-powered and industrial measurement systems.
Technical Context
The LM4132CMF-1.8 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS bandgap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level accuracy without laser trimming, correcting curvature, tempco, and initial offset at package level to mitigate assembly-induced shifts. Its internal LDO regulator topology enables precise 1.8 V output regulation independent of load current up to 20 mA.
It features an active-high enable pin (VIH = 65% VIN, VIL = 35% VIN), supports input voltages from (VREF + 400 mV) to 5.5 V, and maintains stability with only a required input capacitor (CIN); output capacitor (COUT) is optional. Thermal hysteresis is limited to 75 ppm after –40°C to +125°C cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy (C grade) - ensures ≤3.6 mV absolute error at 25°C for 12-bit+ data converters |
| Temperature Coefficient | 20 ppm/°C (–40°C to +125°C) - contributes ≤3.6 mV drift across full industrial range |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV at 10 mA load - allows operation from 2.03 V input, enabling single-cell LiFePO₄ or dual-cell alkaline supplies |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical, ≤100 µA over temperature - minimizes quiescent power in always-on sensing nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA at EN = 0 V - extends battery life in intermittent-measurement applications |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA (0–20 mA) - holds output within ±0.5 mV under full load step, supporting dynamic analog front-ends |
| Long-Term Stability | 50 ppm over 1000 hours - guarantees <0.09 mV drift in 6-month field deployment |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is NC (no connect), pin 2 is GND, pin 3 is EN (enable), pin 4 is VIN (input), and pin 5 is VREF (output).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating; no internal connection - avoids unintended parasitic paths or ESD coupling |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current and enable logic; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise injection |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Digital enable input | Active-high control: drives device into 3 µA shutdown when pulled low (<35% VIN); hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold |
| Pin 4 (VIN) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.2 V to 5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor (CIN) placed adjacent to pin |
| Pin 5 (VREF) | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 1.8 V; capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; optional COUT improves transient response but not required for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-trimmed CMOS bandgap | Enables post-assembly correction of tempco and initial accuracy - eliminates laser trimming cost while matching bipolar performance |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to 3 µA, enabling ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable data loggers and IoT edge sensors |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates need for external COUT, reducing BOM count and PCB area - critical for space-constrained SOT-23 designs |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation with HBM ESD rating of ±2000 V - suitable for under-hood automotive sensors |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics | Supports standard X5R/X7R MLCCs (≥1 µF) on VIN without phase-margin risk - simplifies layout and avoids tantalum dependency |
Applications
| Portable Data Acquisition | Automotive Sensor Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3018IDBVR | Fixed 1.8 V, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA IQ, no enable pin, SOT-23-3 | Lacks shutdown mode and has higher tempco; smaller footprint but no EN control | Select when board space is constrained and continuous operation suffices; not suitable for duty-cycled systems |
| ADR3418ARJZ-R7 | 1.8 V, 10 ppm/°C (A grade), 120 µA IQ, no enable, SOT-23-5, ±0.1% initial accuracy | Lower tempco but higher quiescent current and no shutdown - better stability, worse power efficiency | Prefer for metrology-grade instruments where long-term drift dominates power budget concerns |
Compared with REF3018IDBVR and ADR3418ARJZ-R7, the LM4132CMF-1.8 uniquely balances automotive qualification, enable-controlled ultra-low-power shutdown (3 µA), and 20 ppm/°C tempco in a standard SOT-23-5 - making it optimal for battery-operated industrial and automotive sensors requiring both reliability and energy efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4132CMF-1.8?
The LM4132CMF-1.8 delivers up to 20 mA of output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. This capability eliminates the need for an external buffer amplifier in most 12- to 16-bit data acquisition designs, directly driving ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks without degradation.
Does the LM4132CMF-1.8 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132CMF-1.8 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (COUT) may be added to improve transient response, but it is strictly optional - unlike many competitors, this device does not mandate COUT for phase margin or oscillation prevention.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM4132CMF-1.8 to regulate at 1.8 V?
The LM4132CMF-1.8 requires a minimum input voltage of VREF + 400 mV, i.e., 2.2 V, to maintain regulation. At 10 mA load, the typical dropout is 230 mV, allowing reliable operation down to 2.03 V input - enabling use with partially discharged single-cell LiFePO₄ batteries.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LM4132CMF-1.8?
The EN pin is active-high: applying ≥65% of VIN enables regulation; pulling below 35% of VIN places the LM4132CMF-1.8 into shutdown mode, reducing supply current to 3 µA. Input hysteresis prevents oscillation near the threshold, ensuring clean state transitions during power sequencing.
Is the LM4132CMF-1.8 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4132CMF-1.8 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, and tested to HBM ESD Level 2 (±2000 V). It meets automotive sensor and ECU requirements where precision, reliability, and thermal robustness are mandatory.
