Product details
Overview
LM4132CMFX-2.5 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout series voltage reference IC delivering a stable 2.5 V output with 0.05% initial accuracy (A-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 LM4132CMFX-2.5 datasheet, LM4132CMFX-2.5 pinout, LM4132CMFX-2.5 application, or LM4132CMFX-2.5 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 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4132CMFX-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 pass element, requiring only an input capacitor (CIN) and optionally an output capacitor (COUT) for stability.
Its enable pin supports active-high logic control (VIH ≥ 65% VIN), allowing seamless integration into power-managed systems. The device maintains regulation across –40°C to +125°C ambient, with thermal hysteresis limited to 75 ppm and long-term stability of 50 ppm over 1000 hours.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.05% (A-grade) - ensures <1.25 mV absolute error at 25°C for 16-bit+ data converters |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C) - contributes ≤0.21 mV drift over industrial temperature range |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load - enables operation from 2.675 V supply, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail derivation |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA - supports >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes drawing <10 µA average |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA - reduces system standby power by >95% when EN = 0 V |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA - holds output within ±0.0625 mV across 0–20 mA load variation |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 240 µVPP - meets SNR requirements for 18-bit SAR ADCs without external filtering |
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 terminal - must remain unconnected and floating per datasheet |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to clean system ground plane |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable input - drives internal regulator; VIH ≥ 65% VIN required for turn-on |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply - accepts 2.9 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); bypass with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 | VREF | Precision output - delivers regulated 2.5 V; stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (COUT optional) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-trimmed curvature compensation | Eliminates need for laser trimming, achieving 0.05% accuracy while maintaining plastic-package cost structure |
| Enable-controlled shutdown mode | Reduces supply current to 3 µA, enabling rapid power cycling in duty-cycled measurement systems |
| 20 mA output drive capability | Directly sources ADC reference inputs, DAC bias networks, or op-amp references without buffer amplifiers |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors | Supports compact, high-reliability designs using X7R/X5R MLCCs instead of bulkier tantalum or electrolytic types |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | Fixed 2.5 V, 50 ppm/°C max tempco (–40°C to +125°C), 50 µA IQ, no enable pin | Lacks shutdown control; lower drive strength (25 mA) but tighter tempco spec over full range | Choose REF3025AIDBZR when enable functionality is unnecessary and full-temperature-range tempco is prioritized over ultra-low IQ |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 70°C), 120 µA IQ, no enable, SOT-23-5 | Higher quiescent current; tempco spec applies only to commercial range, not extended industrial | Choose ADR3425ARJZ-R7 where board space matches and higher IQ is acceptable for improved PSRR (−80 dB @ 1 kHz) |
Compared with REF3025AIDBZR and ADR3425ARJZ-R7, the LM4132CMFX-2.5 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 3 µA shutdown, and 10 ppm/°C tempco over 0°C–85°C - making it optimal for automotive and battery-sensitive industrial designs requiring both precision and power control.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4132CMFX-2.5 to maintain regulation?
The LM4132CMFX-2.5 requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV, i.e., ≥2.9 V, to sustain regulation at full load. At 10 mA load, the typical dropout is 175 mV, meaning 2.675 V input suffices - but 2.9 V is the guaranteed minimum across temperature and process variation per datasheet Section 6.3.
Does LM4132CMFX-2.5 require an output capacitor for stability?
No - the LM4132CMFX-2.5 is internally compensated and stable with or without an output capacitor. A 0.1 µF ceramic COUT may be added to reduce high-frequency noise, but it is optional per datasheet Figure 26 and Section 8.2.
What grade does the 'C' in LM4132CMFX-2.5 indicate?
The 'C' denotes the C-grade variant: ±0.2% initial accuracy and 20 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C. This differs from the A-grade (±0.05%, 10 ppm/°C) and is confirmed in Table 6.7 of the SNVS372G datasheet.
Can LM4132CMFX-2.5 drive a 20 kΩ load directly?
Yes - with a 2.5 V output and maximum 20 mA output current, the LM4132CMFX-2.5 can drive loads down to 125 Ω (2.5 V / 20 mA). A 20 kΩ load draws only 125 µA, well within specification and causing negligible error (<0.003 mV) due to its 25 ppm/mA load regulation.
Is LM4132CMFX-2.5 qualified for automotive use?
Yes - the LM4132CMFX-2.5 is part of the LM4132-Q1 family and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with HBM ESD rating of ±2 kV, as stated in Section 1 of the SNVS372G datasheet.
