Product details
Overview
LM4132DMF-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) series voltage reference IC delivering a stable 3.3 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 operates from VIN = VREF + 400 mV (≥3.7 V) up to 5.5 V, supports 20 mA load current, and features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode-ideal for high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132DMF-3.3 datasheet, LM4132DMF-3.3 pinout, LM4132DMF-3.3 application, or LM4132DMF-3.3 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOT-23-5 package details, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in data acquisition and battery-powered test equipment, and two validated alternative parts with technical and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The LM4132DMF-3.3 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS band-gap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar reference performance at lower cost. Its curvature, tempco, and initial accuracy are corrected at package level to mitigate assembly-induced shifts-enabling consistent 3.3 V output stability across plastic SOT-23 packaging.
Unlike shunt references, it draws only 60 µA under load and requires no output capacitor or buffer amplifier. The enable pin controls a high-impedance shutdown state drawing just 3 µA, while dropout voltage remains as low as 175 mV at 10 mA load-critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail regulation in space-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal, ±0.05% initial accuracy (A-grade) - ensures <±1.65 mV absolute error at 25°C for 16-bit+ system calibration |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C) - contributes ≤0.825 mV drift over industrial range, enabling stable reference in unheated enclosures |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical - allows >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes powered by 200 mAh coin cell |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load - supports operation from 3.475 V input, compatible with regulated 3.6 V Li-ion or LDO-fed rails |
| Enable Function | Active-high EN pin with VIH = 65% VIN - enables clean power sequencing and microcontroller-controlled reference activation |
| Output Noise | 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - meets noise floor requirements for 24-bit delta-sigma ADCs without external filtering |
| Load Current | 20 mA max - drives multiple op-amp bias networks or SAR ADC reference inputs simultaneously |
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 floating; not internally bonded - avoids unintended parasitic coupling or ESD path |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return for reference core; requires dedicated PCB ground pour and star connection to minimize noise injection |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | CMOS-compatible digital input; pulls high to enable 3.3 V output, low to enter 3 µA shutdown - enables firmware-controlled power gating |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 3.7 V to 5.5 V; internal LDO structure rejects ripple up to 80 dB at 1 kHz - reduces need for upstream filtering |
| 5 - VREF | Precision output | 3.3 V buffered reference source; capable of sourcing 20 mA with <25 ppm/mA load regulation - suitable for direct ADC REF+ drive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-trimmed CMOS band-gap | Eliminates post-assembly accuracy degradation - achieves 0.05% initial tolerance without laser trimming, reducing unit cost |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to 3 µA - extends battery life in intermittent-measurement systems like portable multimeters |
| Capacitor-free stability | Operates stably with ceramic CIN only (no COUT required) - saves board space and BOM count in compact layouts |
| Low 175 mV dropout | Enables use with 3.6 V Li-ion batteries down to 3.475 V - maintains full accuracy through >90% of battery discharge cycle |
| 20 ppm/°C tempco (–40°C to 125°C) | Ensures <±0.66 mV total drift over full automotive grade range - supports under-hood sensor signal conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3333AIDBVR | 3.3 V, 30 ppm/°C max tempco (–40°C to 125°C), 6 µA IQ, no enable pin, SOT-23-3 | Lacks enable function and has higher tempco; limited to always-on, ultra-low-power roles where shutdown is unnecessary | Select when board space is critical and shutdown is handled externally; avoid if dynamic power cycling or tight tempco is required. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of LM4132DMF-3.3?
The LM4132DMF-3.3 requires VIN ≥ VREF + 400 mV, i.e., ≥3.7 V, to maintain output regulation within specification. At 10 mA load, dropout is 175 mV, so operation down to 3.475 V is possible-but below 3.7 V, line regulation degrades and output may fall outside ±0.5% accuracy. Always verify with worst-case temp and load conditions per Section 6.9 of the datasheet.
Does LM4132DMF-3.3 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, LM4132DMF-3.3 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. The datasheet explicitly states COUT is optional and only recommended for additional noise filtering in sensitive applications. A minimum 1 µF ceramic CIN is required between VIN and GND, placed close to the device pins.
Is LM4132DMF-3.3 qualified for automotive applications?
LM4132DMF-3.3 is the commercial-grade variant and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4132QDQ3333/NOPB (LM4132-3.3-Q1), which is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +125°C) and listed in Section 6.10 of the datasheet. LM4132DMF-3.3 is intended for industrial and portable equipment.
What is the maximum load current LM4132DMF-3.3 can source continuously?
LM4132DMF-3.3 is rated for continuous 20 mA output current across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This is confirmed in Section 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Section 6.9 (Electrical Characteristics). Exceeding 20 mA risks thermal overload and output voltage deviation beyond spec limits.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LM4132DMF-3.3?
The EN pin is active-high: driving EN ≥65% of VIN enables the 3.3 V output; pulling EN ≤35% of VIN places LM4132DMF-3.3 into shutdown mode, reducing supply current to 3 µA. The pin has no internal pull-up/down and must be actively driven-TI recommends using a microcontroller GPIO or logic buffer to ensure clean transitions and avoid floating states.
