Product details
Overview
LM4132DMF-1.8 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) voltage reference IC delivering a stable 1.8 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 features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode, supports up to 20 mA load current, and operates from VIN = VREF + 400 mV (≥2.03 V) to 5.5 V - ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132DMF-1.8 datasheet, LM4132DMF-1.8 pinout, LM4132DMF-1.8 application, or LM4132DMF-1.8 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOT-23-5 package details, real-world use cases in battery-powered test equipment and automotive sensor signal conditioning, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM4132DMF-1.8 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS band-gap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level accuracy without laser trimming. Its curvature correction and tempco compensation are programmed at package level to counteract assembly-induced shifts - a key differentiator versus conventional references.
It functions as a series-connected, three-terminal precision reference with active enable control, requiring only an input capacitor (CIN) and no mandatory output capacitor (COUT). Dropout voltage is specified at 230 mV (typical, 10 mA load), enabling operation from single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V ±0.05% (A-grade, 25°C) - enables direct interface with 1.8 V logic and low-voltage SAR ADCs without scaling. |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C) - ensures ≤144 ppm (0.026 mV) drift over industrial range, critical for multi-decade measurement stability. |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA (active), 3 µA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on portable meters and wireless sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV (typical, 10 mA) - allows regulation from 2.03 V input, supporting single 2.2 V LiFePO₄ or boosted coin-cell sources. |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA (0–20 mA) - maintains <±50 µV output shift across full load, suitable for driving ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks. |
| Line Regulation | 30 ppm/V (VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V) - rejects supply ripple effectively in noisy DC-DC post-regulation applications. |
| Output Noise | 170 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - minimizes quantization uncertainty in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement (RθJA = 164.1°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating; not internally bonded - avoids unintended parasitic paths or ESD coupling. |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal band-gap core; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise injection. |
| 3 - EN | Digital enable input | Active-high control: VIH ≥ 65% VIN, VIL ≤ 35% VIN - compatible with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic without level-shifting. |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.03 V to 5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor (low-ESR) close to pin for stability. |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | Delivers regulated 1.8 V; capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; no buffer amplifier required due to low output impedance (<1 Ω). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-based curvature & tempco trim | Compensates for plastic-package assembly shift - achieves 0.05% accuracy without laser trimming, reducing cost and lead time. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to 3 µA, enabling micro-power sleep modes in portable data loggers and IoT edge nodes. |
| Capacitor-stable operation | Stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors only on input; eliminates need for output capacitor or external buffer - saves board space and BOM count. |
| Low dropout (230 mV) | Enables use with single-cell energy sources (e.g., 2.2 V LiFePO₄) while maintaining regulation margin under load and temperature variation. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - validated for under-hood automotive sensor modules and industrial motor drives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6126AASA18+ | 1.8 V, 0.02% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C tempco, 65 µA IQ, SOT23-5 - higher precision but higher cost and lower max load (10 mA). | Used in metrology-grade calibrators where sub-ppm stability is required; not rated for automotive temp range. | Select when absolute long-term stability and ultra-low tempco outweigh cost and load-current needs. |
| ADR3418ARJZ-R7 | 1.8 V, 0.1% initial accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 120 µA IQ, SOT23-5 - wider initial tolerance, higher quiescent current, same package. | Common in cost-sensitive industrial PLC I/O modules where 0.1% accuracy suffices and shutdown function is unused. | Select when budget constraints dominate and 3 µA shutdown is unnecessary; verify layout compatibility with higher IQ thermal dissipation. |
Compared with MAX6126AASA18+ and ADR3418ARJZ-R7, the LM4132DMF-1.8 uniquely balances automotive qualification, 3 µA shutdown, and 20 mA drive in a single SOT-23-5 footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware, and safety-rated designs where moderate precision suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM4132DMF-1.8?
The LM4132DMF-1.8 requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV, i.e., ≥2.03 V at 25°C. At 10 mA load and –40°C to +125°C, dropout rises to 400 mV, so minimum VIN becomes 2.2 V. Operation below this threshold causes output collapse or regulation loss - verified per Section 6.5 of the SNVS372G datasheet.
Does the LM4132DMF-1.8 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132DMF-1.8 is stable without an output capacitor (COUT) - only an input capacitor (CIN ≥1 µF ceramic) is mandatory. This is confirmed in the Simplified Schematic and Section 8.1 of the datasheet. Adding COUT may improve PSRR but is not needed for basic regulation stability.
What grade (A–E) does the LM4132DMF-1.8 correspond to, and what are its accuracy specs?
The LM4132DMF-1.8 is the A-grade variant, specified for 0.05% initial output voltage accuracy (±0.9 mV at 1.8 V) at 25°C, and 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over 0°C to 85°C. Full grade definitions are in Section 6.5 of the LM4132 datasheet (SNVS372G).
Can the LM4132DMF-1.8 drive a 10 kΩ load directly?
Yes - the LM4132DMF-1.8 can source up to 20 mA, so a 10 kΩ load draws only 0.18 mA at 1.8 V. This is well within spec and introduces <±4.5 µV error from load regulation (25 ppm/mA × 0.18 mA), preserving system accuracy.
Is the LM4132DMF-1.8 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the LM4132DMF-1.8 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 ±2000 V. This is explicitly stated in the Features section and Device Information table of the SNVS372G datasheet.
