Product details
Overview
LM4132DMFX-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) 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 to 5.5 V, supports up to 20 mA load, and features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132DMFX-3.3 datasheet, LM4132DMFX-3.3 pinout, LM4132DMFX-3.3 application, or LM4132DMFX-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (175 mV at 10 mA), 0.1–10 Hz noise (310 µVPP), line regulation (85 ppm/V), thermal hysteresis (75 ppm), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM4132DMFX-3.3 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS band-gap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level precision without requiring external output capacitance or buffer amplifiers. Its curvature, tempco, and accuracy are corrected at package level to overcome assembly-induced shifts.
It implements a series-shunt topology with integrated enable control, supporting both active operation (60 µA IQ) and ultra-low-power shutdown (3 µA). The device maintains 0.5% output accuracy down to 175 mV input-to-output differential at 10 mA load across –40°C to 125°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal; enables direct interface with 3.3-V ADCs, DACs, and microcontrollers requiring precise reference inputs. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% (A grade); ensures ≤1.65 mV absolute error at 25°C, critical for 16-bit+ data converters. |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C); contributes ≤0.83 mV drift over industrial temperature range, supporting high-stability measurement systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load; allows operation from 3.475 V input, extending battery life in single-cell Li-ion or 3.6-V supply rails. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical; minimizes system power budget in always-on sensor nodes and portable test equipment. |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA with EN = 0 V; enables deep-sleep modes in energy-harvesting or duty-cycled applications. |
| Output Noise | 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz); low enough for 16-bit SAR ADCs without additional filtering. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, surface-mount, thermally enhanced for PCB heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected; floating; no internal connection or function. |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal bias; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - EN | Digital enable input | Active-high logic control: VIH ≥ 65% VIN enables output; VIL ≤ 35% VIN forces shutdown mode. |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 3.475 V to 5.5 V; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor (CIN) per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | 3.3 V regulated output capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; stable without COUT but benefits from optional 1–10 nF bypass for transient immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-trimmed CMOS band-gap | Enables factory calibration of curvature, tempco, and accuracy post-assembly - eliminating plastic-package-induced drift seen in laser-trimmed parts. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current from 60 µA to 3 µA, enabling >20× power savings during idle periods in portable instrumentation. |
| No output capacitor required | Eliminates BOM cost and board area for COUT; simplifies layout while maintaining stability with low-ESR ceramics on VIN only. |
| 20-mA output drive capability | Directly powers ADC reference inputs, op-amp bias networks, or small DACs - avoids need for external buffers in most signal-chain designs. |
| Low 0.1–10 Hz noise | 310 µVPP supports high-resolution DC measurements in weigh scales, medical sensors, and precision process controllers. |
Applications
| Portable Data Loggers | Automotive Battery Monitoring Units |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4132DMFX-3.3?
The LM4132DMFX-3.3 supports up to 20 mA of continuous output current while maintaining specified accuracy and dropout performance. This is confirmed in Section 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Table 6.9 of the TI datasheet SNVS372G. Exceeding 20 mA may degrade output regulation or cause thermal shutdown depending on ambient conditions and PCB layout.
Does the LM4132DMFX-3.3 require an output capacitor (COUT) for stability?
No, the LM4132DMFX-3.3 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. The datasheet explicitly states "does not require an output capacitor or buffer amplifier" (Section 3, Description). A 1–10 nF ceramic capacitor on VREF is optional and improves transient response but is not required for basic stability.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM4132DMFX-3.3 to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage is VREF + 400 mV = 3.7 V under worst-case conditions (–40°C to +125°C), per Section 6.3. At 10 mA load and 25°C, the dropout is 175 mV, so VIN ≥ 3.475 V suffices. However, design margin requires using 3.7 V as the practical minimum to guarantee regulation across full temperature and load range.
Is the LM4132DMFX-3.3 qualified for automotive applications?
No - the LM4132DMFX-3.3 is the commercial-grade version. Automotive qualification applies only to the LM4132-Q1 variants (e.g., LM4132Q33IDBVRQ1). The "DMFX" suffix denotes the standard industrial/commercial SOT-23-5 package with no AEC-Q100 certification. Use LM4132Q33IDBVRQ1 for automotive designs.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LM4132DMFX-3.3?
The EN pin is an active-high digital input: VIH ≥ 65% of VIN enables the reference output; VIL ≤ 35% of VIN places the device in 3 µA shutdown mode. The threshold is ratiometric to VIN, ensuring robust operation across varying input rails. Pin 1 (N/C) must remain unconnected, and Pin 2 (GND) must be tied directly to system ground.
