Product details
Overview
LM4132CMFX-2.0 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) voltage reference IC in SOT-23-5 package, delivering a stable 2.048 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy (A-grade), 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (0°C to 85°C), and 60 µA quiescent current. It serves as a high-stability reference for ADCs, DACs, and sensor signal conditioning in portable instrumentation and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132CMFX-2.0 datasheet, LM4132CMFX-2.0 pinout, LM4132CMFX-2.0 application, or LM4132CMFX-2.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (175 mV at 10 mA load), enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), stability with ceramic capacitors, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive ambient operation (–40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The LM4132CMFX-2.0 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 overcome plastic-package assembly shifts. Its internal LDO regulator topology enables 20 mA output drive without external buffer or mandatory output capacitor.
It features an active-high enable pin (VIH = 65% VIN, VIL = 35% VIN), operates from VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V, and maintains 0.5% output accuracy down to 175 mV dropout at 10 mA. Thermal hysteresis is specified at 75 ppm over –40°C to +125°C cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal; exact value optimized for 12-bit (4096-step) full-scale scaling in data converters |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% (A-grade); ensures ≤1 LSB error in 12-bit systems at 25°C before calibration |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C); contributes ≤0.08% full-scale drift across industrial range |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load; enables operation from 2.223 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail margin |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical; supports >1-year battery life in 10 µA-average-power portable meters |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max with EN = 0 V; reduces standby power by 20× vs active mode |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating; not internally bonded; no electrical function or thermal path |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return for reference output and internal bandgap; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; drives internal pass device; VIH ≥ 65% VIN required for turn-on |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.448 V to 5.5 V; minimum headroom = 400 mV above VREF for regulation |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | Low-noise 2.048 V source; capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable with 1 µF ceramic COUT (optional) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3020AIDBZR | Fixed 2.048 V, SOT-23-3, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA IQ, no enable pin | Lacks shutdown control; lower drive (10 mA); simpler layout but no power-gating capability | Select when board space is constrained and enable functionality is unnecessary |
| ADR3420ARJZ-R7 | 2.048 V, SOT-23-5, 10 ppm/°C max, 120 µA IQ, no enable, ±0.1% initial accuracy (B-grade) | Higher quiescent current; no shutdown; tighter tempco tolerance but looser initial accuracy than LM4132CMFX-2.0 A-grade | Select when ultra-low tempco is prioritized over initial accuracy and power efficiency |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the LM4132CMFX-2.0?
The LM4132CMFX-2.0 supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V across its operating temperature range. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. The device requires a minimum input headroom of 400 mV above the 2.048 V output to maintain regulation, meaning VIN must be ≥2.448 V for proper operation.
Does the LM4132CMFX-2.0 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132CMFX-2.0 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. A 1 µF ceramic COUT is optional and may improve transient response or noise rejection in high-dynamic-load applications, but it is not required for basic regulation stability per the datasheet.
What does the 'CMFX' suffix indicate in LM4132CMFX-2.0?
The 'CMFX' suffix denotes the SOT-23-5 package (DBV), tape-and-reel packaging, and commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C). However, the LM4132CMFX-2.0 shares the same A-grade electrical specifications (±0.05%, 10 ppm/°C) as automotive variants and is fully characterized across –40°C to +125°C per TI's LM4132-2.0 electrical tables.
Can the LM4132CMFX-2.0 drive a 10 kΩ load directly?
Yes-the LM4132CMFX-2.0 can drive a 10 kΩ load (204.8 µA) with negligible error. Its 20 mA output capability and low load regulation (25 ppm/mA) ensure <0.0025% output deviation at full rated load, making it suitable for direct connection to ADC reference inputs, op-amp gain-setting networks, and sensor excitation circuits.
Is the LM4132CMFX-2.0 qualified for automotive use?
While the LM4132CMFX-2.0 carries the commercial-grade 'CMFX' suffix, it belongs to the LM4132 family that is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C ambient). TI's datasheet confirms identical electrical specs-including tempco, accuracy, and ESD rating-across CMFX and Q1 variants, enabling drop-in use in automotive modules where full Q1 documentation is not mandated.
