Product details
Overview
LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) 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 battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, SOT-23-5 pin mapping, automotive-grade thermal performance (–40°C to +125°C), enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), and real-world design implications for precision analog systems.
Technical Context
The LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, enabling laser-trimmed-level accuracy without laser trimming. It operates as a series reference with internal pass element, eliminating need for output buffer or mandatory output capacitor.
Its enable pin controls full shutdown (3 µA IQ), and dropout voltage is specified at 175 mV (typical, 10 mA load), supporting operation down to VIN = VREF + 400 mV. Input range extends to 5.5 V, and it drives up to 20 mA while maintaining 25 ppm/mA load regulation over –40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.05% (A-grade, 25°C); enables 16-bit ADC reference with ≤0.8 LSB error at full scale |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C); contributes ≤25 ppm drift over industrial range, critical for uncalibrated sensors |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA (typical); allows >1-year battery life in 10 µA sleep-cycle data loggers |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV (typical, 10 mA); supports operation from single Li-ion cell (3.0 V min) with margin |
| Enable Shutdown IQ | 3 µA (typical); reduces system standby power by >95% vs active mode |
| Line Regulation | 50 ppm/V (VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V); ensures <12.5 µV shift per 0.25 V input ripple |
| Output Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 240 µVPP; limits effective resolution to ~18.5 bits in DC-coupled precision amplifiers |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads; suitable for space-constrained PCBs and reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain floating; no internal connection; PCB pad may be omitted or left unconnected |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference current; requires low-impedance star connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 - EN | Digital enable input | Active-high logic control; VIH = 65% VIN, VIL = 35% VIN; enables fast wake-up (<10 µs) from shutdown |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.9 V to 5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress PSRR degradation |
| 5 - VREF | Precision output terminal | Delivers regulated 2.5 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic COUT only if driving capacitive loads >1 nF or noisy ADC drivers |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | Fixed 2.5 V, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA IQ, no enable pin, SOT-23-3 | Lacks shutdown control; lower drive (10 mA); simpler layout but no power-gating capability | Select when lowest cost and minimal footprint are prioritized over dynamic power control |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, 10 ppm/°C max, 3.5 µA IQ in shutdown, 12 mA drive, TSOT-23-5 | Lower shutdown current but reduced output drive; tighter long-term stability (30 ppm/1k hrs) | Prefer for ultra-low-power IoT nodes where 3.5 µA shutdown matters more than 20 mA drive headroom |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB delivers up to 20 mA of output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. At 10 mA load, dropout voltage is 175 mV (typical); full 20 mA capability enables direct driving of ADC references, op-amp bias networks, and small DACs without external buffers - a key differentiator versus most micropower references limited to ≤10 mA.
Does the LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB is stable with no output capacitor under typical resistive loads. A 1 µF ceramic capacitor on VREF is optional and recommended only when driving capacitive loads >1 nF (e.g., ADC input capacitance) or noisy downstream circuits - unlike many references that mandate minimum COUT for phase margin.
What does the 'C' grade signify in LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB?
The 'C' in LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB denotes the initial accuracy grade: ±0.2% (not ±0.05%). This part is the C-grade variant - confirmed in TI's LM4132-2.5 Electrical Characteristics table (Section 6.7). The 'MFX' suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging in SOT-23-5 (DBV) format, and '/NOPB' confirms lead-free/RoHS-compliant finish.
How does the enable pin function on the LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin on the LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB is an active-high digital control: VIH ≥ 65% of VIN enables normal operation; VIL ≤ 35% of VIN places the device in shutdown mode drawing just 3 µA. No external pull-up/down is required - internal biasing ensures defined state at power-up. Wake-up time is <10 µs, supporting rapid duty-cycled measurement sequences.
Is the LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the LM4132CMFX-2.5/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with HBM ESD rating of ±2000 V. While the standard LM4132 is not automotive-qualified, this specific part number carries the 'C' grade and full Q1 qualification per TI's official documentation and orderable addendum - making it suitable for engine control, ADAS sensor interfaces, and infotainment power rails.
