Product details
Overview
LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision low-dropout (LDO) 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 battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout voltage (175 mV at 10 mA), enable-controlled shutdown (3 µA), load regulation (25 ppm/mA), and SOT-23-5 compatibility with ceramic capacitors only.
Technical Context
The LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB implements a CMOS band-gap architecture with EEPROM-based curvature and tempco correction, enabling laser-trimmed-level precision without laser trimming. Its internal enable logic drives a high-impedance output stage that supports up to 20 mA sink/source while maintaining 0.5% output accuracy down to VIN = VREF + 175 mV.
This device operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient, meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use, and achieves 50 ppm long-term stability over 1000 hours - all within a 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm SOT-23-5 package with no required output capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.05% (A-grade initial accuracy at 25°C) |
| Tempco | 10 ppm/°C (0°C to 85°C), enabling <±0.25 mV drift over industrial range |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV at 10 mA load - allows operation from 2.675 V input in battery systems |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA active, 3 µA in shutdown - extends runtime in always-on sensor nodes |
| Load Regulation | 25 ppm/mA (0–20 mA) - ensures <±50 µV shift under full load variation |
| Line Regulation | 50 ppm/V (VREF + 0.4 V to 5.5 V) - rejects supply ripple in noisy DC-DC outputs |
| Output Noise | 240 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - suitable for 16-bit+ data acquisition front-ends |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaging.
| 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 | Active-high enable input | Drives internal pass element; VIH ≥ 65% VIN, VIL ≤ 35% VIN - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V logic |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.675 V to 5.5 V; supplies internal regulator and output stage; bypass with 1 µF ceramic |
| 5 - VREF | Precision reference output | 2.5 V source capable of sourcing/sinking 20 mA; stable without COUT but benefits from 1 µF local decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-trimmed curvature compensation | Eliminates need for external calibration; maintains 10 ppm/°C spec across temperature without laser trimming |
| Enable-controlled shutdown mode | Reduces supply current to 3 µA - enables ultra-low-power wake-up architectures in portable devices |
| Capacitor-free stability | Operates stably with low-ESR ceramic capacitors only; no tantalum or electrolytic required for phase margin |
| 20 mA output drive capability | Directly biases ADC references, op-amp gain-setting resistors, or DAC VREF pins without buffer amplifiers |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive ambient operation (–40°C to +125°C); HBM ESD rated ±2000 V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3025AIDBZR | Fixed 2.5 V, 50 ppm/°C max tempco, 50 µA IQ, no enable pin, SOT-23-3 | Lacks shutdown control and has higher tempco; limited to space-constrained, always-on designs | Choose when board area is critical and enable functionality is unnecessary |
| ADR3425ARJZ-R7 | 2.5 V, 10 ppm/°C, 120 µA IQ, no enable, SOT-23-5, ±0.1% initial accuracy | Higher quiescent current and looser initial accuracy; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Choose for non-automotive industrial use where lower cost outweighs shutdown and grade-A precision |
Compared with REF3025AIDBZR and ADR3425ARJZ-R7, the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB uniquely combines A-grade 0.05% accuracy, 10 ppm/°C tempco, enable-driven 3 µA shutdown, and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it the only option supporting automotive-grade portable instrumentation with dynamic power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB?
The LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB delivers up to 20 mA of output current while maintaining 0.5% output voltage accuracy. This capability eliminates the need for external buffer amplifiers when driving ADC references, DAC VREF pins, or precision resistor networks - a key advantage over shunt references and older LDO references that require output capacitance for stability.
Does the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB is internally compensated and stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors only - including configurations with no output capacitor. While a 1 µF ceramic capacitor on VREF improves transient response and PSRR, it is optional per the datasheet; this simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in space-constrained designs.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB to regulate at 2.5 V?
The LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of VREF + 175 mV (i.e., 2.675 V) at 10 mA load to maintain 0.5% output accuracy. Its low dropout design enables operation from partially discharged batteries or post-regulation rails where headroom is limited - critical for single-cell Li-ion and energy-harvesting systems.
Is the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with HBM ESD rating of ±2000 V. It is explicitly listed in TI's LM4132-Q1 product folder and meets automotive reliability and thermal stress requirements - making it suitable for battery monitors, ADAS sensor interfaces, and infotainment power management.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB?
The EN pin on the LM4132EMFX-2.5/NOPB is an active-high digital control input: logic high (≥65% VIN) enables the reference output; logic low (≤35% VIN) places the device in 3 µA shutdown mode. This feature supports dynamic power cycling in portable instruments and extends battery life in always-on monitoring systems without external FETs or sequencing logic.
