Product details
Overview
LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) voltage reference IC delivering a stable 3.3 V output with ±0.2% initial accuracy, 20 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C, and 60 µA quiescent current - designed for automotive-grade instrumentation, battery-powered data acquisition, and high-stability analog signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 datasheet, LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 pinout, LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 application, or LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOT-23-5 pin mapping, automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification details, load regulation performance up to 25 mA, and validated alternative options for precision reference design.
Technical Context
The LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, enabling laser-trimmed-level accuracy in cost-effective plastic packaging. It operates as a series reference with enable-controlled shutdown mode (3 µA), eliminating need for output buffer or mandatory output capacitor.
Its input range spans VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V, supporting operation from single Li-ion or regulated 5 V rails. The device delivers 25 mA maximum load current (Q1 variant), maintains 0.5% output accuracy down to 175 mV dropout at 10 mA, and achieves 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) noise - critical for 12–16-bit ADC biasing and sensor excitation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal, ±0.2% initial accuracy (C grade) - ensures ≤6.6 mV absolute error at 25°C for calibration-critical systems |
| Tempco | 20 ppm/°C (–40°C to +125°C) - limits drift to ±660 ppm (±2.18 mV) across full automotive temperature range |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA-sleep IoT sensors using periodic reference activation |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max - reduces standby power by 20× vs active mode, essential for always-on automotive modules |
| Max Load Current | 25 mA - supports direct driving of SAR ADC references, op-amp bias networks, and DAC voltage references |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA - allows operation from 3.475 V input, compatible with 3.3 V LDOs or partially discharged batteries |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 310 µVPP - meets SNR requirements for 14-bit ADCs (≥86 dB) without external filtering |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, thermal resistance RθJA = 164.1°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | N/C | No-connect terminal - must remain unconnected and floating per datasheet; not internally bonded |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane for noise immunity |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable input - asserts reference when ≥65% of VIN; disables output and reduces IQ to 3 µA |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply - accepts 3.675 V to 5.5 V; minimum headroom 400 mV above VREF for regulation |
| 5 | VREF | Precision 3.3 V output - supplies stable reference to ADCs, DACs, or comparator thresholds; requires 1 µF ceramic CIN |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - suitable for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and under-hood electronics |
| EEPROM-trimmed curvature compensation | Eliminates assembly-induced tempco shift - achieves 20 ppm/°C over full range without laser trimming or external calibration |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics only | Requires only 1 µF input capacitor (CIN); no output capacitor needed - saves board space and avoids ESR-related instability |
| 25 mA output drive capability | Directly powers reference inputs of multiple 12-bit ADCs or op-amp gain stages - removes need for external buffers |
| 3 µA shutdown mode | EN pin reduces supply current by 20× - enables micro-power wake-up architectures in telematics and predictive maintenance nodes |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LM4132CQ1MFR3.3?
The LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, supporting continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This rating is validated across all electrical parameters including initial accuracy, tempco, and load regulation - making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with extreme thermal cycling.
Does the LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 is designed to be stable without an output capacitor. The datasheet explicitly states COUT is optional, and the device maintains regulation with only the required 1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN). This eliminates ESR dependency and simplifies layout in space-constrained designs.
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4132CQ1MFR3.3?
The LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 supports up to 25 mA of continuous output current, as specified in Section 6.10 (Electrical Characteristics LM4132-3.3-Q1) of the TI datasheet. This exceeds the 20 mA limit of standard LM4132-3.3 variants and enables direct driving of multiple analog components without external buffering.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LM4132CQ1MFR3.3?
The EN pin on the LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 is an active-high digital control input. When pulled to ≥65% of VIN, the reference activates and delivers full 3.3 V output. When held ≤35% of VIN, the device enters shutdown mode with supply current reduced to 3 µA max - enabling ultra-low-power duty-cycled operation in battery-powered systems.
Is the LM4132CQ1MFR3.3 pin-compatible with other LM4132-Q1 variants?
Yes, all LM4132-Q1 variants - including LM4132CQ1MFR18, LM4132CQ1MFR25, and LM4132CQ1MFR33 - share identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) packaging and pinout (Pin 1: N/C, Pin 2: GND, Pin 3: EN, Pin 4: VIN, Pin 5: VREF). This allows hardware reuse across voltage options in automotive platforms with minimal BOM changes.
