Product details
Overview
LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) voltage reference IC delivering a stable 2.5 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 20 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C, and 60 µA quiescent current - enabling high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in automotive instrumentation and portable test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 datasheet, LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 pinout, LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 application, or LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 equivalent, this AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified device supports design-in for safety-critical automotive sensors, battery-powered data loggers, and industrial control systems requiring stable 2.5 V reference under varying load and temperature conditions.
Technical Context
The LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, achieving laser-trimmed performance at lower cost. It operates as a series reference with enable-controlled shutdown mode (3 µA), eliminating need for external buffer amplifiers or mandatory output capacitors.
Its 400 mV dropout voltage (at 10 mA), 20 mA output drive capability, and stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors make it suitable for space-constrained, low-power applications where input supply headroom is limited - such as 3.3 V rail-powered sensor signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy (C grade) - ensures ≤5 mV absolute error at 25°C for 12-bit+ system calibration. |
| Tempco | 20 ppm/°C (–40°C to +125°C) - contributes ≤1.25 mV drift across full automotive temperature range. |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA sleep-mode portable instruments. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load - allows operation from 2.675 V input, compatible with single-cell LiFePO₄ or boosted 2.5 V rails. |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤35% VIN, VIH ≥65% VIN - ensures robust logic-level compatibility with 1.8 V/3.3 V microcontrollers. |
| Output Noise | 240 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - supports 16-bit SAR ADCs without additional filtering in precision measurement front-ends. |
| Load Drive | 20 mA max - directly powers op-amp buffers, ADC reference inputs, and small analog subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin plastic package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect | Must be left floating; no internal connection - avoids unintended parasitic coupling or solder bridging. |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal band-gap circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable input | Drives internal pass element; pulls to VIN for operation, to GND for 3 µA shutdown - supports MCU-controlled power gating. |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.9 V to 5.5 V (VREF + 400 mV min); must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor per layout guidelines. |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 2.5 V; capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation and HBM ESD Level 2 (±2 kV), enabling use in engine control modules and ADAS sensors. |
| EEPROM-trimmed curvature compensation | Eliminates need for laser trimming, reducing cost while maintaining <20 ppm/°C tempco across full temperature range. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to 3 µA - critical for duty-cycled data acquisition systems requiring ultra-low standby power. |
| Capacitor-stable operation | Stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors only (no tantalum or electrolytic required), simplifying BOM and improving long-term reliability. |
| 20 mA output drive | Directly drives ADC reference pins, op-amp gain-setting networks, and small analog loads - removes need for external buffers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM4128CIMF-2.5/NOPB | Fixed 2.5 V output, 0.2% initial accuracy, but no enable pin and higher 100 µA quiescent current. | Lacks shutdown mode - unsuitable for battery-powered or duty-cycled systems requiring ultra-low standby power. | Select when enable functionality is unnecessary and board space permits larger SOT-23-3 footprint. |
| MAX6126AASA25+ | 2.5 V, 0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, but requires external 1 µF output capacitor and has no enable pin. | Superior tempco and accuracy, yet incompatible with capacitor-free designs and lacks power-gating capability. | Choose for metrology-grade applications where 3 ppm/°C stability outweighs need for enable control and capacitor simplicity. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LM4132CQ1MFR2.5?
The LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, supporting continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its electrical characteristics - including 20 ppm/°C tempco and ±0.2% initial accuracy - are specified across this full range, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with wide thermal swings.
Does the LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 require an output capacitor?
No, the LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 is stable without an output capacitor and does not require a buffer amplifier. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended at the VREF pin for noise reduction, but it is optional for stability. This simplifies layout and improves reliability compared to references mandating large output capacitance.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 to maintain regulation?
The LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 requires a minimum input voltage of VREF + 400 mV = 2.9 V to maintain regulation at full load. At 10 mA load, its dropout voltage is 175 mV, meaning it regulates down to 2.675 V input - enabling use with marginally boosted or aging battery supplies in portable systems.
How does the enable pin function on the LM4132CQ1MFR2.5?
The EN pin is active-high: driving it ≥65% of VIN enables the reference output; pulling it ≤35% of VIN places LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 into shutdown mode with 3 µA supply current. This allows precise power sequencing and MCU-controlled wake-up in battery-sensitive applications without external FETs or level shifters.
Is the LM4132CQ1MFR2.5 pin-compatible with other LM4132 variants?
Yes, all LM4132 variants - including LM4132CQ1MFR2.5, LM4132CIMF-2.5, and LM4132AQ1MF-2.5 - share identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) pinout and footprint. Differences lie only in grade (A–E), automotive qualification (Q1), and output voltage option - allowing drop-in substitution within the same voltage and qualification tier.
