Product details
Overview
LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout series voltage reference IC delivering a stable 2.5 V output with 0.05% initial accuracy (A-grade), 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-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, SOT-23 package details, enable-controlled shutdown operation, load regulation performance up to 20 mA, and validated alternative options for precision reference design.
Technical Context
The LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, enabling laser-trimmed-level precision in cost-effective plastic packaging. It operates as a series reference with internal enable logic, supporting 3-µA shutdown mode via the EN pin.
It requires only an input capacitor (CIN) and tolerates low-ESR ceramic capacitors without needing an output buffer or COUT. Its 400 mV dropout voltage at 10 mA and VIN range of 2.9 V to 5.5 V make it suitable for single-cell Li-ion and regulated 3.3 V rail applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.05% (A-grade, 25°C) - enables 16-bit+ ADC full-scale accuracy without trimming |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C) - ensures ≤25 ppm total drift over industrial temperature range |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical - supports >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA at EN = 0 V - allows ultra-low-power wake-on-event architectures |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA (0–20 mA) - maintains stability under dynamic DAC or op-amp bias loads |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA - enables operation from 2.675 V supply, compatible with 2.8 V LDOs |
| Output Noise | 240 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - suitable for 20-bit SAR and delta-sigma converter references |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, surface-mount, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N/C | No-connect | Must be left floating; no internal connection - avoids unintended parasitic coupling |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for reference output and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥65% VIN turns on; ≤35% VIN enters 3-µA shutdown - supports microcontroller GPIO control |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.9 V to 5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 - VREF | Precision output | 2.5 V reference source capable of sourcing/sinking ±20 mA; low-noise node requiring dedicated trace routing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-trimmed curvature compensation | Eliminates assembly-induced tempco shift - achieves 10 ppm/°C without laser trimming |
| Enable pin with hysteresis | Prevents oscillation during slow-rising enable signals; VIH/VIL thresholds track VIN for rail-agnostic control |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors only | Removes need for tantalum or electrolytic output caps - reduces BOM count and board area |
| 20 mA output drive capability | Directly biases multiple op-amps or ADC references without external buffers |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - suitable for engine control and ADAS modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3325AIDBVR | 2.5 V, 30 ppm/°C max, 3.9 µA IQ, SC70-3 package, no enable pin | Lacks shutdown control and has higher tempco; limited to ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs without enable sequencing | Choose when board area is critical and shutdown is handled externally; verify tempco impact on system accuracy budget |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, 10 ppm/°C max, 120 µA IQ, SOT-23-5, no enable pin | Higher quiescent current and no enable function; superior long-term stability (30 ppm/1000 hrs vs 50 ppm) | Prefer where power is not constrained but long-term drift is dominant concern; requires external enable circuit if needed |
Compared with REF3325AIDBVR and ADR3425ARJZ-R7, the LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB uniquely combines A-grade 10 ppm/°C tempco, integrated enable, and 60 µA IQ in SOT-23-5 - making it optimal for battery-powered systems requiring both precision and active power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB delivers up to 20 mA of output current while maintaining specified accuracy and regulation. This capability allows direct driving of multiple op-amps, ADC references, or digital-to-analog converters without external buffering - simplifying layout and reducing component count in compact designs.
Does the LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB is internally compensated and stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors on the input only. An output capacitor (COUT) is optional and not required for stability - unlike many older references, eliminating risk of oscillation due to capacitor ESR or aging effects.
What does the "/NOPB" suffix indicate in LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB?
The "/NOPB" suffix in LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB denotes lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging with no lead (Pb) in the finish or die attach. It confirms compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and TI's green packaging standards - essential for medical, automotive, and export-oriented electronics programs.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin on the LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB is an active-high digital control input. When pulled to ≥65% of VIN, the device operates normally; when ≤35% of VIN, it enters 3 µA shutdown mode. Hysteresis prevents chatter during slow transitions, and the threshold scales with VIN for robust operation across varying supply rails.
Is the LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, and tested for HBM ESD up to ±2000 V. While the base LM4132 is not automotive-grade, this specific variant (LM4132EMF-2.5/NOPB) meets automotive reliability requirements for cabin and chassis applications outside powertrain.
