Product details
Overview
LM4132EMF-2.0 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) series voltage reference IC delivering 2.048 V output with ±0.05% initial accuracy (Grade A), 10 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (0°C to 85°C), and 60 µA quiescent current - used in high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing, portable instrumentation, and automotive sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132EMF-2.0 datasheet, LM4132EMF-2.0 pinout, LM4132EMF-2.0 application, or LM4132EMF-2.0 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, SOT-23-5 package layout, enable-controlled shutdown mode, dropout behavior at 175 mV (10 mA load), and validated alternatives for precision analog systems requiring stable 2.048 V references.
Technical Context
The LM4132EMF-2.0 implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, enabling laser-trimmed-level accuracy without laser trimming. Its enable pin controls a 3-µA shutdown state, and it operates with input voltages as low as VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.448 V) up to 5.5 V.
Unlike shunt references, it draws only 60 µA supply current under load and delivers up to 20 mA output without requiring an output capacitor or buffer amplifier - critical for space-constrained, battery-powered designs where low quiescent power and minimal external components are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V nominal; enables precise 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale calibration (e.g., 2.048 V = 1 LSB × 4096) |
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.05% (Grade A); ensures ≤1.024 mV absolute error at 25°C for metrology-grade measurement front-ends |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C); contributes ≤0.085 mV drift over industrial temperature range |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load; allows operation from 2.448 V input - compatible with single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V LDO rails |
| Supply Current | 60 µA typical; supports >1-year battery life in 10-µA average-power portable data loggers |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA max; enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in wake-on-event sensor nodes |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect terminal | Must be left floating; no internal connection - avoids unintended parasitic coupling |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal band-gap core; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: VIH ≥65% VIN enables output; VIL ≤35% VIN enters 3-µA shutdown |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.448 V to 5.5 V; supplies internal regulator and output stage; bypass capacitor required |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | 2.048 V source capable of sourcing 20 mA; low-noise (190 µVPP, 0.1–10 Hz) for sensitive analog circuits |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the LM4132EMF-2.0 at 25°C?
The LM4132EMF-2.0 is a Grade A device with ±0.05% initial output voltage accuracy at 25°C, meaning its 2.048 V nominal output falls within 2.046976 V to 2.049024 V. This specification is 100% production tested and applies to the LM4132EMF-2.0 part number specifically, per TI's SNVS372G datasheet Section 6.6.
Does the LM4132EMF-2.0 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132EMF-2.0 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor - a key differentiator from most LDO references. The datasheet explicitly states COUT is optional, and the device remains stable with only the required CIN (input capacitor). This eliminates output capacitance-related phase margin risks and saves PCB area in the LM4132EMF-2.0 design.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM4132EMF-2.0 to maintain regulation?
The LM4132EMF-2.0 requires a minimum input voltage of VREF + 400 mV, i.e., 2.448 V, to maintain regulation at full load (20 mA). At 10 mA load, its dropout voltage is 175 mV (per Section 6.6), so 2.223 V suffices - but the guaranteed operational minimum across all conditions remains 2.448 V as specified in Recommended Operating Conditions.
Is the LM4132EMF-2.0 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4132EMF-2.0 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, rated for ambient temperatures from –40°C to +125°C, and meets HBM ESD Level 2 (±2000 V). It is identical in qualification to the LM4132-Q1 variant and is approved for use in automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics per TI's official documentation.
How does the enable pin of the LM4132EMF-2.0 function in practice?
The EN pin of the LM4132EMF-2.0 is a logic-controlled input: applying ≥65% of VIN enables the reference output and 60 µA operation; applying ≤35% of VIN disables output and reduces current to 3 µA. It is not a push-pull driver - external pull-up/pull-down is required for defined state during power-up or MCU reset, as confirmed in Section 5 and Figure 3 of the LM4132EMF-2.0 datasheet.
