Product details
Overview
LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-precision, low-noise, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 1.024 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (A grade), and 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) output noise. It operates down to 1.8 V input, features an enable pin for shutdown (≤1 µA quiescent current), and drives up to 8 mA - ideal for precision ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB pinout, LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB application, or LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1 mA (20 mV typ), thermal hysteresis (20 ppm), long-term stability (60 ppm/1000 h), load regulation (1–20 ppm/mA), and required 1-µF output capacitor for stability.
Technical Context
The LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS DACs for curvature-corrected temperature compensation and output voltage trimming - enabling sub-bandgap 1.024 V output with industry-leading 3 ppm/°C drift (A grade). Its P-channel series pass architecture supports operation with VIN as low as VREF + 400 mV over temperature.
Enable functionality provides fast turn-on (<200 µs) and active discharge of the output capacitor during shutdown. The device requires a minimum 1-µF output capacitor with specified ESR range for loop stability and transient response, and tolerates reverse current up to 50 mA via the inherent pass transistor body diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.024 V ±0.1% (initial accuracy at 25°C) |
| Temp Coefficient | 3 ppm/°C (A grade, 0°C to 70°C) - enables <±0.21 mV drift over full range |
| Dropout Voltage | 20 mV (typical at 1 mA, 25°C) - allows operation with VIN ≥ 1.044 V |
| Output Noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - critical for 16-bit+ SAR and delta-sigma ADC reference performance |
| Supply Current | 230 µA (typical active), ≤1 µA (shutdown) - extends battery life in portable systems |
| Load Drive | Up to 8 mA source capability - sufficient for driving ADC references and op-amp inputs directly |
| Enable Logic | Active-high EN pin; VIH = 0.8×VIN, VIL = 0.4 V - compatible with 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic |
Pinout & Package
LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size) with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 5 is NC (no connect); pins 1, 4, 7, and 8 are ground terminals for low-impedance return paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 7, 8 | GND | Four dedicated ground connections minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR |
| 2 | VIN | Positive supply input; accepts 1.8 V to 5.5 V; requires bypass capacitor for stability |
| 3 | EN | Enable control; pull high for normal operation, low for shutdown (≤1 µA IQ) |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; must be left unconnected per datasheet |
| 6 | VREF | 1.024 V precision output; capable of sourcing up to 8 mA; requires 1-µF output capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM + DAC trimming | Enables 1.024 V output below bandgap voltage with 3 ppm/°C TC and ±0.1% accuracy |
| Ultra-low noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - supports 18-bit+ resolution in precision data acquisition |
| Low dropout | 20 mV at 1 mA - permits use with single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or coin-cell (1.8 V min) supplies |
| Active output discharge | Internal circuitry discharges COUT to GND during shutdown - prevents holdover voltage in sequencing systems |
| Multiple ground pins | Four GND pins reduce thermal resistance and improve PSRR by lowering ground path impedance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF3012AIDBZR | 1.2 V output, 50 ppm/°C TC (B grade), 3.3 µVPP noise, no enable pin, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks shutdown control and has higher noise/drift; limited to space-constrained designs where enable is unnecessary | Choose when board area is critical and 1.2 V output suffices; avoid if 1.024 V matching or low-noise performance is required |
| ADR3410ARJZ-R7 | 1.0 V output, 10 ppm/°C TC (B grade), 4.5 µVPP noise, enable pin, SOT-23-6 package | Lower output voltage (1.0 V vs 1.024 V), higher noise and drift, smaller package with fewer ground pins | Acceptable for cost-sensitive applications where 1.0 V is acceptable and 3 ppm/°C stability is not mandatory |
Compared with REF3012AIDBZR and ADR3410ARJZ-R7, LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB delivers superior initial accuracy (±0.1% vs ±0.2%), lower noise (2.2 µVPP vs ≥3.3 µVPP), tighter TC (3 ppm/°C vs ≥5 ppm/°C), and four ground pins for improved PSRR - making it optimal for high-resolution, battery-operated measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the recommended output capacitor value for LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB?
The LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB requires a 1-µF ceramic or tantalum capacitor between VREF and GND for loop stability and transient response. Values as low as 0.2 µF may work over temperature but risk instability; TI specifies 1 µF as nominal. ESR must fall within the range shown in Figure 23 of the datasheet - typically 0.1 Ω to 10 Ω for 1-µF capacitors.
Does LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB support reverse current protection?
LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB does not include reverse current protection circuitry. Its internal P-channel pass transistor has a body diode from VIN to VREF, allowing up to 50 mA reverse current if VREF exceeds VIN or VIN drops below the output capacitor voltage. This condition is non-destructive but must be managed in system-level design to prevent unintended discharge paths.
Can LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB operate from a 1.8-V supply?
Yes, LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB is fully specified to operate from 1.8 V to 5.5 V input. At 1.8 V, it maintains 1.024 V output with 20 mV typical dropout (VIN – VREF), enabling direct use with single-cell Li-ion or alkaline batteries. Performance parameters including TC and noise remain valid across this input range per the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB?
The LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB exhibits 20 ppm thermal hysteresis - defined as the change in 25°C output voltage before and after cycling between 0°C and 70°C. This parameter reflects mechanical stress memory in the package and is measured per Figure 26 in the datasheet. It contributes directly to total system error budget in applications requiring repeated thermal cycling.
How does the enable pin function on LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB?
The enable pin (Pin 3) on LM4140BCM-1.0/NOPB is active-high: driving it to ≥0.8×VIN enables normal operation; pulling it ≤0.4 V disables the output and reduces supply current to ≤1 µA. During disable, the output is actively discharged to GND. The pin must never be left floating and should be tied to VIN if unused.
