Product details
Overview
LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-precision, low-noise, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 2.048 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 6 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (B grade), 20 mV typical dropout at 1 mA, and 230 µA typical supply current. It features an enable pin for power management and is used in precision ADC/DAC biasing, portable instrumentation, and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB application, or LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.048 V output voltage, 6 ppm/°C tempco, enable-controlled shutdown (<1 µA), 1 µF required output capacitance, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with precision analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB employs EEPROM-trimmed CMOS DACs for curvature-corrected temperature compensation and output voltage trimming-enabling sub-bandgap 2.048 V output with 6 ppm/°C stability over 0°C to 70°C. Its P-channel series pass architecture supports operation down to VIN = VREF + 20 mV (typ) and delivers up to 8 mA output current.
It operates in two functional modes: normal regulation (EN = VIN) and ultra-low-power shutdown (EN = GND, IS(OFF) ≤1 µA). The internal circuit actively discharges the output capacitor during disable, ensuring fast turn-on (<200 µs) and controlled power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.048 V ±0.1% (initial accuracy); enables precise 12-bit full-scale scaling in ADCs/DACs |
| Tempco (B Grade) | 6 ppm/°C over 0°C to 70°C; ensures ≤0.42 mV drift across industrial ambient range |
| Dropout Voltage | 20 mV (typ) at 1 mA; allows operation from 2.068 V supply-critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems |
| Supply Current | 230 µA (typ) active; ≤1 µA in shutdown; reduces quiescent power in always-on sensor nodes |
| Output Noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz); supports high-resolution 16+ bit measurement without added filtering |
| Load Regulation | 20 ppm/mA (typ); maintains stability under dynamic load changes in multiplexed data acquisition |
| Enable Threshold | VH = 0.8×VIN, VL = 0.4 V; compatible with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic interfaces |
Pinout & Package
LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size) with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS053F Rev F datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 7, 8 | GND | Four dedicated ground terminals minimize ground impedance and improve PSRR/noise rejection |
| 2 | VIN | Positive input supply; must be ≥ VREF + 20 mV; accepts 1.8 V to 5.5 V operation |
| 3 | Enable | Digital control input; pull high to enable, low to enter <1 µA shutdown mode |
| 5 | NC | No-connect terminal; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 6 | VREF | Regulated 2.048 V output; capable of sourcing up to 8 mA with 1 µF output capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM + DAC trimming | Enables 0.1% initial accuracy and 6 ppm/°C tempco without laser trimming-reducing cost and process variability |
| Active output discharge | Internally sinks output capacitor charge during shutdown, preventing voltage hold-up and enabling clean power sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5020IDR | 2.048 V, 3 ppm/°C (A grade), 3.8 µVPP noise, 1.2 mA supply current, no enable pin | Lacks shutdown mode; higher power; better tempco/noise but less suitable for intermittent-sampling systems | Choose when ultimate long-term stability and lower noise outweigh power savings and sequencing needs. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB?
The LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 20 mV (typical) for regulation-i.e., ≥2.068 V at 1 mA load. At 8 mA, dropout rises to 235 mV (max), so VIN ≥2.283 V is recommended for full-load operation across temperature. Below this, output voltage droops nonlinearly and regulation is lost.
Does the LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB require an output capacitor, and if so, what type and value?
Yes-the LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB requires a 1 µF output capacitor for loop stability and transient response. Solid tantalum (e.g., Kemet T491A105M010AS) or multilayer ceramic (≥0.2 µF, with ESR within TI-specified range) are validated. Aluminum electrolytics are discouraged below 0°C due to ESR rise causing instability.
How does the enable pin function on the LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB, and what happens to the output during shutdown?
The LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB enable pin turns the device on when pulled to VIN and off when pulled to GND. During shutdown, the output is actively discharged to ground via internal circuitry-preventing voltage hold-up and enabling safe, sequenced power-down in multi-rail systems.
Can the LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB drive a 10 kΩ load directly, and what is its maximum output current?
Yes-the LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB can drive a 10 kΩ load (205 µA at 2.048 V) with minimal error. Its specified output current capability is up to 8 mA (sink/source limited by internal pass transistor), verified across temperature and line/load conditions in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
What is the thermal hysteresis specification for the LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB, and how does it impact calibration?
The LM4140BCMX-2.0/NOPB exhibits ≤20 ppm thermal hysteresis-defined as the 25°C output voltage shift after cycling between 0°C and 70°C. This translates to ≤41 µV error, making it suitable for one-time factory calibration in systems where re-calibration is impractical, such as sealed medical or automotive modules.
