Product details
Overview
LM4132EMF-2.5 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) voltage reference IC delivering a stable 2.5 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 battery-powered test equipment where tight voltage stability and low power are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132EMF-2.5 datasheet, LM4132EMF-2.5 pinout, LM4132EMF-2.5 application, or LM4132EMF-2.5 equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout voltage (175 mV at 10 mA), enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), load regulation (25 ppm/mA), noise performance (240 µVPP, 0.1–10 Hz), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM4132EMF-2.5 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS band-gap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level accuracy without laser trimming, correcting curvature, tempco, and initial offset at package level to overcome plastic-package assembly shifts. It operates as a series (not shunt) reference, eliminating idle current waste under no-load conditions.
It features an active-high enable pin (VIH = 65% VIN, VIL = 35% VIN), supports input voltages from VREF + 400 mV (2.675 V min) to 5.5 V, delivers up to 20 mA output current without requiring an output capacitor, and maintains stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors on input only.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.05% (Grade A, 25°C); enables 16-bit ADC reference with ≤0.8 LSB error at full scale |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C); ensures ≤25 ppm drift over industrial range, critical for temperature-varying sensor front-ends |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load; allows operation from 2.675 V input, supporting single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail with margin |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA (active), 3 µA (shutdown); extends battery life in portable data loggers beyond 10 years at 10 µA avg system draw |
| Output Noise | 240 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz); meets <300 µVPP requirement for 14-bit precision measurement systems |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA; introduces <±50 ppm error across 0–20 mA load, suitable for driving ADC reference inputs and op-amp bias networks |
| Line Regulation | 50 ppm/V; contributes <±200 ppm error over 2.675–5.5 V input range, manageable with pre-regulation or filtering |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, 1.0 mm max height; thermally enhanced for 164.1°C/W junction-to-ambient 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 circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB tie to system AGND |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; drives device into 3 µA shutdown when pulled low below 35% VIN |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.675–5.5 V; supplies internal regulator and reference core; requires ≥1 µF ceramic CIN |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | 2.5 V source capable of sourcing/sinking ±20 mA; no COUT required for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-based curvature correction | Compensates die-to-package shift post-assembly, enabling 0.05% accuracy in cost-effective plastic SOT-23 |
| Enable pin with defined thresholds | VIH = 65% VIN, VIL = 35% VIN - eliminates need for external level-shifting in 3.3 V or 5 V systems |
| No output capacitor required | Stable with only input capacitor; reduces BOM count and board area vs. traditional references needing COUT |
| 20 mA output drive capability | Directly powers ADC reference inputs, DAC buffers, or small op-amp stages without external pass transistor |
| Low-noise 0.1–10 Hz band | 240 µVPP - supports high-resolution DC measurements without additional noise filtering |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the LM4132EMF-2.5?
The LM4132EMF-2.5 supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V, with minimum input defined as VREF + 400 mV (2.675 V). Operation above 5.5 V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings; derating is recommended above 125°C ambient due to thermal limits.
Does the LM4132EMF-2.5 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132EMF-2.5 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor. Only an input capacitor (≥1 µF ceramic, low-ESR) is required. Adding COUT may improve PSRR but is not necessary for basic stability or regulation performance.
What does the 'E' grade signify in LM4132EMF-2.5?
The 'E' in LM4132EMF-2.5 denotes Grade E accuracy: ±0.5% initial output tolerance and 30 ppm/°C max temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C. This contrasts with Grade A (±0.05%, 10 ppm/°C), offering cost-optimized performance for less demanding applications.
Can the LM4132EMF-2.5 drive a 20 mA load continuously?
Yes, the LM4132EMF-2.5 is rated for continuous 20 mA output current at TJ ≤ 125°C. At 20 mA and 25°C ambient, power dissipation is ~35 mW; thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains within spec using the SOT-23-5 RθJA of 164.1°C/W.
Is the LM4132EMF-2.5 qualified for automotive applications?
No - only the LM4132-Q1 variants (e.g., LM4132Q1EMF-2.5) are AEC-Q100 qualified. The LM4132EMF-2.5 is for industrial and commercial use; it shares the same electrical specs but lacks automotive-grade screening, qualification testing, and extended temperature validation.
