Product details
Overview
LM4132EMFX-2.0 from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout voltage reference IC in SOT-23-5 package, delivering a stable 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. It features an enable pin for 3 µA shutdown mode and supports up to 20 mA load current-ideal for high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132EMFX-2.0 datasheet, LM4132EMFX-2.0 pinout, LM4132EMFX-2.0 application, or LM4132EMFX-2.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (175 mV at 10 mA), line regulation (30 ppm/V), load regulation (25 ppm/mA), thermal hysteresis (75 ppm), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors without requiring an output buffer.
Technical Context
The LM4132EMFX-2.0 implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, enabling laser-trimmed-level precision in cost-effective plastic packaging. Its internal topology eliminates need for external output capacitance while maintaining stability across –40°C to +125°C ambient operation.
It operates as a series reference with VIN range from VREF + 400 mV (i.e., ≥2.448 V) to 5.5 V, and uses a dedicated enable input (EN) referenced to VIN to control active/shutdown states-supporting power-gating in battery-powered systems without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V ±0.05% (Grade A) - matches common 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale scaling and simplifies ratio-metric design |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C) - ensures ≤0.85 mV drift over industrial temperature range, critical for metrology-grade measurements |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or regulated 2.5 V rails with margin |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA - supports >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes drawing <10 µA average system current |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA - reduces standby power by 20× vs active mode, enabling deep-sleep modes in portable equipment |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA - maintains <52 µV error across 0–20 mA load, sufficient for driving SAR ADC references directly |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 190 µVPP - contributes <0.009% RMS error in 2.048 V reference, suitable for 16-bit data acquisition |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | N/C | No-connect pin; must remain floating-no internal connection or parasitic path |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling into VREF |
| 3 | EN | Enable input referenced to VIN; asserts active state when ≥65% of VIN, disables at ≤35% of VIN |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply rail; minimum 2.448 V (VREF + 400 mV); decoupling capacitor (CIN) required per layout guidelines |
| 5 | VREF | Precision output terminal; drives load directly-no buffer or COUT needed for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-trimmed curvature compensation | Eliminates need for external trimming components and achieves 0.05% accuracy without laser calibration |
| Low-ESR capacitor stability | Operates stably with standard 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitors-no tantalum or electrolytic required |
| Grade-selectable precision | A-grade (0.05%/10 ppm/°C) to E-grade (0.5%/30 ppm/°C) allows cost/performance optimization per application |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) support enables use in engine control and ADAS sensor modules |
| High output drive capability | 20 mA sourcing capacity permits direct interface to multiple op-amp inputs or ADC reference pins |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the LM4132EMFX-2.0?
The LM4132EMFX-2.0 supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is VREF + 400 mV (≥2.448 V) to 5.5 V, with optimal performance observed between 3.0 V and 5.0 V per typical characteristics.
Does the LM4132EMFX-2.0 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132EMFX-2.0 is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor (COUT). The datasheet explicitly states COUT is optional and confirms stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors if used-unlike many references that mandate minimum COUT values.
What is the function of Pin 1 (N/C) on the LM4132EMFX-2.0?
Pin 1 of the LM4132EMFX-2.0 is a no-connect (N/C) terminal with no internal electrical connection. It must be left floating-neither tied to GND nor routed on the PCB-to avoid unintended coupling or mechanical stress on the die bond wire.
How does the enable pin (EN) of the LM4132EMFX-2.0 operate?
The EN pin of the LM4132EMFX-2.0 is a VIN-referenced digital input: it enables the device when voltage exceeds 65% of VIN and disables it when below 35% of VIN. In shutdown, supply current drops to 3 µA, and VREF enters high-impedance state-ensuring zero loading of downstream circuits.
Is the LM4132EMFX-2.0 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4132EMFX-2.0 is part of the LM4132-Q1 family and is AEC-Q100 qualified for Device Temperature Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), including HBM ESD Level 2 certification-making it suitable for under-hood and ADAS sensor applications where reliability and thermal robustness are mandatory.
