Product details
Overview
LM4132DMFX-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 with input voltages as low as VREF + 400 mV - making it ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and high-accuracy ADC/DAC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132DMFX-1.8 datasheet, LM4132DMFX-1.8 pinout, LM4132DMFX-1.8 application, or LM4132DMFX-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 10 mA (230 mV typ), line regulation (30 ppm/V), load regulation (25 ppm/mA), thermal hysteresis (75 ppm), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors without requiring an output buffer.
Technical Context
The LM4132DMFX-1.8 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS band-gap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level precision while overcoming plastic-package assembly shifts. Its curvature, tempco, and accuracy are corrected at package level - enabling tighter tolerances than conventional trimming methods.
Unlike shunt references, it draws only 60 µA supply current under no-load conditions and delivers full 20 mA output without external buffering. The enable pin provides precise system-level power sequencing control, and its SOT-23-5 package supports space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and automotive applications.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM4132DMFX-1.8?
The LM4132DMFX-1.8 requires a minimum input voltage of VREF + 400 mV, i.e., 2.23 V, to maintain regulation within 0.5% accuracy at 10 mA load. At lower inputs, output voltage drops nonlinearly; datasheet-specified dropout is 230 mV typical at 10 mA and 400 mV maximum over temperature. This enables reliable operation from partially discharged Li-ion or alkaline cells.
Does the LM4132DMFX-1.8 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132DMFX-1.8 is internally compensated and stable with no output capacitor. A 1 µF ceramic capacitor on the input (CIN) is mandatory for noise rejection and transient response; COUT is optional and may be added only if improved PSRR or low-frequency noise suppression is needed. Unlike many references, it does not require a buffer amplifier or external compensation network.
How does the enable pin of the LM4132DMFX-1.8 function in system power sequencing?
The LM4132DMFX-1.8 enable pin is active-high with VIH ≥ 65% VIN and VIL ≤ 35% VIN, allowing direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic. When disabled, it enters 3 µA shutdown mode - ideal for synchronizing reference activation with MCU wake-up or ADC initialization. The pin has no hysteresis, so clean digital edges are recommended to avoid metastability.
Is the LM4132DMFX-1.8 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4132DMFX-1.8 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with HBM ESD rating of ±2000 V. It meets automotive reliability requirements for cabin and chassis applications - including temperature sensor modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS subsystem references - and is manufactured in TI's certified automotive production flow.
What grade (A–E) does the LM4132DMFX-1.8 correspond to, and how does that affect its specifications?
The LM4132DMFX-1.8 is the A-grade variant, specified for 0.05% initial output voltage accuracy and 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (0°C to 85°C). This grade delivers the highest precision in the LM4132 family and is validated across full temperature range with worst-case limits documented in Section 6.5 of the datasheet - ensuring design margin for metrology-grade applications.
