Product details
Overview
LM4132DMF-4.1 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) series voltage reference IC delivering a stable 4.096 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 to 5.5 V, supports up to 20 mA load, and features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown - ideal for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132DMF-4.1 datasheet, LM4132DMF-4.1 pinout, LM4132DMF-4.1 application, or LM4132DMF-4.1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 10 mA (175 mV typ), 0.1–10 Hz noise (350 µVPP), line regulation (100 ppm/V), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4132DMF-4.1 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS bandgap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level precision without laser trimming. Its curvature correction and tempco compensation are performed at package level to counteract assembly-induced shifts, enabling consistent 4.096 V output across temperature and unit-to-unit variation.
This device functions as a two-terminal series reference with active enable control: EN pin accepts 35%–65% of VIN logic thresholds, and internal circuitry maintains regulation down to 400 mV dropout while rejecting supply ripple up to –40 dB at 10 kHz (no COUT required).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.096 V ±0.05% (A-grade) - matches standard 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale reference points |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C) - ensures ≤±0.85 mV drift over industrial range, critical for metrology |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV (typ, ILOAD = 10 mA) - enables operation from 4.271 V input, compatible with Li-ion single-cell systems |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA (active), 3 µA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 350 µVPP - limits quantization error in 16-bit+ data acquisition front-ends |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA (0–20 mA) - maintains stability under dynamic load switching in mixed-signal SoCs |
| Line Regulation | 100 ppm/V (VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V) - rejects ripple from noisy DC-DC converters |
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; no internal connection or function |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable input - drives high (>65% VIN) to activate reference; pulls low (<35% VIN) for 3 µA shutdown |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply - minimum 4.496 V (4.096 V + 400 mV); decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 | VREF | Precision 4.096 V output - capable of sourcing 20 mA; stable without output capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-based curvature correction | Compensates die-package thermal shift post-assembly, eliminating need for laser trim and enabling A-grade spec in plastic SOT-23 |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current to 3 µA - enables power-gating in duty-cycled measurement systems |
| Capacitor-free stability | Operates without output capacitor (COUT), simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in space-limited designs |
| Low-noise 0.1–10 Hz output | 350 µVPP - avoids adding noise floor that would degrade effective resolution of 16-bit ADCs |
| Automotive qualification option | LM4132-Q1 variant available with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) - supports infotainment and ADAS sensor references |
Applications
| Portable Data Loggers | Industrial PLC Analog Inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5040AIDR | 4.096 V, 3 ppm/°C max, 10 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz), 1 mA IQ, SOIC-8 | Lower noise and tempco but higher IQ and larger package; requires COUT | Choose for metrology-grade instruments where ultra-low drift outweighs size and power penalties. |
| ADR4540BRZ | 4.096 V, 3 ppm/°C max, 12 µVPP, 950 µA IQ, SOIC-8 | Higher precision and lower noise, but 15× higher supply current and no enable pin | Prefer for lab-grade equipment with ample power budget and no need for shutdown control. |
Compared with REF5040AIDR and ADR4540BRZ, the LM4132DMF-4.1 trades ultra-low drift for compact SOT-23-5 size, micropower operation, and integrated enable - making it optimal for portable, battery-sensitive, and space-constrained precision systems where 10 ppm/°C and 350 µVPP meet specification.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the LM4132DMF-4.1?
The LM4132DMF-4.1 supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable performance, VIN should be maintained between VREF + 400 mV (4.496 V) and 5.5 V across all operating conditions, including transient spikes.
Does the LM4132DMF-4.1 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132DMF-4.1 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor (COUT). The datasheet explicitly states COUT is optional, and typical applications operate reliably with only the required input capacitor (CIN ≥ 1 µF ceramic). Adding COUT may improve PSRR but is not necessary for loop stability.
What grade does the 'DMF' suffix indicate for the LM4132DMF-4.1?
The 'DMF' suffix denotes the SOT-23-5 package (DBV) and the D-grade accuracy: ±0.4% initial output voltage tolerance at 25°C. This corresponds to the LM4132D-4.1 variant per TI's ordering nomenclature - distinct from A-grade (±0.05%) or B-grade (±0.1%) versions of the same 4.096 V part.
Can the LM4132DMF-4.1 drive a 20 mA load continuously?
Yes, the LM4132DMF-4.1 is rated for continuous 20 mA output current per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At this load, dropout remains ≤400 mV (worst-case) and output voltage deviation is limited to 25 ppm/mA load regulation - ensuring stable 4.096 V operation even when driving multiple op-amp buffers or ADC reference inputs simultaneously.
Is the LM4132DMF-4.1 qualified for automotive applications?
The base LM4132DMF-4.1 is not automotive-qualified; however, the pin-compatible LM4132Q1DMF-4.1 variant is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +125°C ambient). Both share identical electrical specs and SOT-23-5 packaging, but only the Q1 version undergoes automotive stress testing and is marked with the Q1 suffix.
