Product details
Overview
LM4132DMFX-4.1 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) 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 features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode, supports up to 20 mA load current, and operates from VIN = VREF + 400 mV to 5.5 V - ideal for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132DMFX-4.1 datasheet, LM4132DMFX-4.1 pinout, LM4132DMFX-4.1 application, or LM4132DMFX-4.1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 10 mA (175 mV), 0.1–10 Hz output noise (350 µVPP), thermal hysteresis (75 ppm), long-term stability (50 ppm over 1000 hrs), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM4132DMFX-4.1 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS bandgap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level precision without laser trimming. Its curvature, tempco, and accuracy are corrected at package level to mitigate assembly-induced shifts - enabling consistent 4.096 V output across temperature (–40°C to +125°C) and load (0–20 mA).
It operates as a series reference with no mandatory output capacitor, eliminating buffer amplifier requirements. The enable pin controls a high-impedance shutdown state, reducing supply current to 3 µA while maintaining fast wake-up response - critical for battery-powered data acquisition systems requiring periodic measurement bursts.
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 LSB drift over industrial temperature range for 16-bit systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA - enables operation from 4.271 V input, compatible with single-cell Li-ion after regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA - supports >1-year battery life in 10-µA average-power sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA - reduces standby power by 20× vs active mode for duty-cycled applications |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 350 µVPP - contributes <0.035% of full-scale error in 4.096 V-referenced 16-bit measurements |

| 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 PCB connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable input - asserts when ≥65% of VIN; pulls to GND for 3 µA shutdown |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply - accepts 4.496 V to 5.5 V; minimum headroom defined by dropout specification |
| 5 | VREF | Precision output - delivers regulated 4.096 V; requires 100 nF ceramic CIN on VIN-GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-based trimming | Corrects curvature, tempco, and initial accuracy at package level - eliminates post-assembly calibration |
| Low-ESR capacitor stability | Operates stably with 100 nF ceramic input capacitor only - no output cap required for basic operation |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the LM4132DMFX-4.1?
The LM4132DMFX-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 under recommended operating conditions - ensuring dropout compliance and thermal safety within the SOT-23-5 package's 350 mW power dissipation limit.
Does the LM4132DMFX-4.1 require an output capacitor?
No, the LM4132DMFX-4.1 does not require an output capacitor for stability - a key differentiator from many LDO references. The datasheet explicitly states COUT is optional, and the device remains stable with only the required 100 nF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) between VIN and GND. This simplifies layout and reduces bill-of-materials count, especially valuable in space-constrained designs like handheld test equipment.
What grade is specified for the LM4132DMFX-4.1 part number?
LM4132DMFX-4.1 is the A-grade variant, confirmed by Texas Instruments' orderable addendum and Electrical Characteristics Table 6.11. It guarantees ±0.05% initial output voltage accuracy and 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over 0°C to 85°C - the highest precision tier in the LM4132 family. The 'DMFX' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging in SOT-23-5 (DBV) format.
How does the enable pin function on the LM4132DMFX-4.1?
The EN pin on the LM4132DMFX-4.1 is an active-high digital control input. When pulled to ≥65% of VIN, the device operates normally; when pulled to ≤35% of VIN (or grounded), it enters 3 µA shutdown mode. This threshold is internally referenced to VIN, ensuring robust operation across input voltage variations - enabling direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V GPIOs without level-shifting.
Is the LM4132DMFX-4.1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4132DMFX-4.1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C ambient). It meets HBM ESD Class 2 (±2000 V) and is rated for operation across the full automotive temperature range with verified parametric performance - including tempco, dropout, and long-term stability - making it suitable for engine control units, battery monitors, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
