Product details
Overview
LM4132EMF-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) series voltage reference IC delivering a stable 3.3 V output with 0.05% initial accuracy (Grade A), 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 LM4132EMF-3.3 datasheet, LM4132EMF-3.3 pinout, LM4132EMF-3.3 application, or LM4132EMF-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (175 mV at 10 mA), line regulation (85 ppm/V), load regulation (25 ppm/mA), thermal hysteresis (75 ppm), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM4132EMF-3.3 uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS band-gap architecture to achieve laser-trimmed bipolar-level precision without laser trimming. Its curvature, tempco, and accuracy are corrected at package level to overcome assembly-induced shifts-enabling high accuracy despite plastic SOT-23 packaging.
It functions as a three-terminal series reference with active enable control, requiring only an input capacitor (CIN) and optionally an output capacitor (COUT). Unlike shunt references, it draws only 60 µA under load and avoids idle current waste, making it suitable for portable, low-power systems where supply headroom is limited.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V nominal, ±0.05% initial accuracy (Grade A) - ensures ADC/DAC reference stability within ±1.65 mV at 25°C |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C) - contributes ≤0.825 mV drift over industrial temperature range |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load - enables operation from 3.475 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical - supports >1-year battery life in 10 µA-average-power IoT sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA at EN = 0 V - reduces standby power by 20× versus active mode |
| Output Noise | 310 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - meets <1 LSB error for 16-bit 3.3 V full-scale SAR ADCs |
| Line Regulation | 85 ppm/V - induces ≤280 µV change per 1 V input variation, easing LDO pre-regulator design |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, surface-mount, moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | N/C | No-connect pin; must be left floating - no internal connection, avoids unintended coupling or leakage paths |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise and offset errors |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable input - drives high (>65% VIN) to activate; low (<35% VIN) to enter 3 µA shutdown |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply pin - accepts 3.475 V to 5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor (CIN) |
| 5 | VREF | Precision 3.3 V output - capable of sourcing up to 20 mA; optional COUT improves transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-based curvature correction | Compensates die-package assembly shift in plastic SOT-23, enabling 0.05% accuracy unattainable with standard laser trimming |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces supply current from 60 µA to 3 µA - extends battery runtime in duty-cycled measurement systems |
| Capacitor-stable operation | Stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors only; eliminates need for external buffer amplifier or tantalum output cap |
| Low dropout at full load | 175 mV dropout at 10 mA allows use with 3.475 V input - supports direct regulation from 3.6 V Li-ion cells |
| Automotive-grade option | LM4132-3.3-Q1 variant qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient) for under-hood applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3333AIDBVR | Fixed 3.3 V, 30 ppm/°C max tempco (Grade A), 6 µA IQ, no enable pin, SOT-23-3 | Lacks enable control and has higher tempco; suited for always-on ultra-low-power apps where shutdown is unnecessary | Select when minimal quiescent current (6 µA) outweighs need for shutdown and tighter tempco |
| ADR3433ARJZ-R7 | 3.3 V, 10 ppm/°C max tempco, 120 µA IQ, no enable, SOT-23-5, ±0.1% initial accuracy | Higher supply current and looser initial accuracy; offers better PSRR (−80 dB @ 1 kHz) but no shutdown mode | Choose when superior power supply rejection is prioritized over low IQ and enable functionality |
Compared with REF3333AIDBVR and ADR3433ARJZ-R7, the LM4132EMF-3.3 uniquely combines 0.05% accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, 60 µA IQ, and an enable pin in SOT-23-5-making it optimal for intermittently powered, high-accuracy systems where both precision and controllable power state are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4132EMF-3.3?
The LM4132EMF-3.3 supports up to 20 mA of continuous output current, verified across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This capability eliminates the need for external buffer amplifiers in most 12- to 16-bit data acquisition designs, directly driving ADC reference inputs, op-amp feedback networks, or low-power DACs without degradation in accuracy or stability.
Does the LM4132EMF-3.3 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132EMF-3.3 is internally compensated and stable with or without an output capacitor. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (COUT) may be added to improve transient response under dynamic load changes, but it is not required for loop stability-unlike many competing references that mandate minimum ESR or capacitance.
What is the purpose of Pin 1 (N/C) on the LM4132EMF-3.3?
Pin 1 of the LM4132EMF-3.3 is a no-connect (N/C) terminal with no internal connection. It must be left electrically floating-neither tied to GND nor VIN-to prevent parasitic coupling, leakage paths, or potential damage from ESD or voltage stress. This pin exists solely for mechanical symmetry in the SOT-23-5 package.
How does the enable pin (Pin 3) function on the LM4132EMF-3.3?
The enable pin (EN) on the LM4132EMF-3.3 is active-high with TTL-compatible thresholds: VIH ≥ 65% of VIN and VIL ≤ 35% of VIN. When pulled high, the device operates normally; when pulled low, it enters shutdown mode drawing only 3 µA. No external pull-up is required-EN can be driven directly from microcontroller GPIO or logic gates.
Is the LM4132EMF-3.3 suitable for automotive applications?
The LM4132EMF-3.3 is the commercial-grade version (non-Q1) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the LM4132-3.3-Q1 variant (e.g., LM4132Q3.3EDBVRQ1), which is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient) and includes enhanced ESD robustness and process controls-LM4132EMF-3.3 itself is intended for industrial and portable equipment.
