Product details
Overview
LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) series voltage reference delivering a stable 2.5 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy (C-grade), 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (0°C to 85°C), and 60 µA quiescent current. It operates from VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V, supports up to 20 mA load current, and features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode-ideal for high-accuracy ADC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 10 mA (175 mV typ), 0.1–10 Hz noise (240 µVPP), line regulation (50 ppm/V), thermal hysteresis (75 ppm), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS bandgap architecture to correct curvature, tempco, and accuracy at package level-overcoming assembly-induced shifts that limit laser-trimmed bipolar references. Its internal LDO regulator eliminates need for output buffer or mandatory COUT, enabling direct drive of ADC reference inputs and DAC bias networks.
Unlike shunt references, it draws only 60 µA under no-load conditions and maintains regulation down to 400 mV input-to-output differential. The EN pin controls full rail-to-rail enable/disable transition with VIH = 65% VIN and VIL = 35% VIN, supporting seamless integration into power-managed systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB delivers up to 20 mA of output current while maintaining regulation and specified accuracy. This capability allows direct driving of multiple ADC reference inputs or op-amp bias networks without external buffers-reducing component count and board area in compact designs where the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB serves as the primary precision reference.
Does the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB is internally compensated and stable with only the required 1 µF input capacitor (CIN). An output capacitor (COUT) is optional and not needed for stability-unlike many competing references. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM cost, and avoids potential phase-margin issues associated with COUT selection in the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB design.
What is the dropout voltage specification for the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB at 10 mA load?
The dropout voltage for the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB is 175 mV (typical) at 10 mA load and 25°C. Over the full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), it remains ≤400 mV. This low dropout enables reliable operation from supplies as low as 2.675 V, making the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB especially suitable for single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline battery-powered systems.
How does the enable pin function on the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin on the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB is an active-high digital control input with VIH = 65% VIN and VIL = 35% VIN. When pulled high, the device operates normally; when pulled low, it enters 3 µA shutdown mode. No external pull-up is required, and the pin tolerates full VIN range-enabling direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs in the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB's host system.
Is the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
The LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB is not the automotive-grade variant; it is the commercial-grade part. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4132QCMF-2.5/NOPB (AEC-Q100 Grade 1, –40°C to +125°C). While the LM4132CMF-2.5/NOPB shares identical electrical specs, it is characterized and screened for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and lacks automotive qualification documentation required for vehicle ECUs.
