Product details
Overview
LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-precision, low-noise, low-dropout series voltage reference delivering 2.5 V output with ±0.1% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (C grade), and 20 mV typical dropout at 1 mA. It features an enable pin for power management and supports precision ADC/DAC biasing in portable instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB application, or LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) noise, 230 µA typical supply current, ≤1 µA shutdown current, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with 1 µF output capacitance requirements.
Technical Context
The LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB uses EEPROM-trimmed CMOS DACs for curvature-corrected temperature compensation and output voltage trimming-enabling sub-bandgap 2.5 V output with 3 ppm/°C drift over 0°C to 70°C. Its P-channel pass transistor architecture supports operation down to VIN = VREF + 20 mV (typical), enabling use in ultra-low-voltage systems.
It integrates active output capacitor discharge during disable mode, achieving <200 µs turn-on time and zero-output settling. The enable pin accepts logic-level control (VH ≥ 0.8×VIN, VL ≤ 0.4 V), with internal pull-down not provided-requiring external tie-high if unused.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.1% (initial accuracy at 25°C; C-grade) |
| Temp Coefficient | 3 ppm/°C (0°C to 70°C; ensures ≤525 ppm total drift across range) |
| Dropout Voltage | 20 mV (typical at 1 mA; enables operation from 2.52 V supply) |
| Output Noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz; critical for 16+ bit ADC/DAC reference stability) |

| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4 V, VIH ≥ 0.8×VIN (supports direct MCU GPIO control without level shift) |
Pinout & Package
LM4140BCMX-2.5/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 reduce ground impedance and improve PSRR/noise rejection |
| 2 | VIN | Positive input supply; must be ≥ VREF + 20 mV for regulation |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control; drives output to 0 V when pulled low |
| 5 | NC | No-connect terminal; must remain unconnected and floating |
| 6 | VREF | Stable 2.5 V output; requires 1 µF ceramic/tantalum capacitor to GND for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-DAC trimming | Enables 3 ppm/°C tempco and 0.1% initial accuracy without laser trimming-reducing unit cost and process variation |
| Active output discharge | Internally discharges COUT to GND during disable-prevents voltage hold-up and enables fast system reset |
| Ultra-low 1/f noise | 2.2 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) directly supports high-resolution SAR and delta-sigma ADCs without external filtering |
| Low dropout architecture | 20 mV dropout at 1 mA allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or coin-cell (3 V) supplies |
| Shutdown current | ≤1 µA max at 25°C-enables microamp-level sleep modes in portable data loggers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF5025IDR | 2.5 V, 0.05% initial accuracy, 3 ppm/°C, 3.6 µVPP noise, SOIC-8, 950 µA supply current | Higher accuracy but 4× higher quiescent current; no enable pin | Choose REF5025IDR only when 0.05% initial accuracy is mandatory and power budget allows >900 µA continuous draw. |
| ADR4525BRZ | 2.5 V, 0.02% initial accuracy, 2 ppm/°C, 1.75 µVPP noise, SOIC-8, 950 µA supply current, no enable | Lower noise and tempco, but no enable function and higher supply current | Choose ADR4525BRZ for metrology-grade applications where enable functionality is unnecessary and lowest possible drift is required. |
Compared with REF5025IDR and ADR4525BRZ, LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB uniquely balances ultra-low power (230 µA), integrated enable, and 3 ppm/°C performance-making it optimal for battery-constrained, intermittently active systems where moderate accuracy suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB to regulate properly?
The LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VREF + 20 mV (typical) at 1 mA load, i.e., ≥2.52 V. At 8 mA load, dropout rises to 160–235 mV, so VIN ≥ 2.66 V is recommended for full-load operation across temperature. This low dropout enables use with single-cell Li-ion or alkaline supplies.
Does LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB require an output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes-LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB requires a minimum 1 µF output capacitor for loop stability and transient response. Solid tantalum (e.g., Kemet T491A105M010AS) or multilayer ceramic capacitors (≥0.2 µF, with ESR within TI-specified range) are recommended. Aluminum electrolytics are discouraged below 0°C due to ESR rise.
How does the enable pin of LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB behave during shutdown?
When the enable pin is pulled low (<0.4 V), LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB disables its output and actively discharges the external output capacitor to ground via internal circuitry. Output settles to 0 V within microseconds, and supply current drops to ≤1 µA-ensuring clean, predictable power-down behavior.
Can LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB drive 8 mA continuously while maintaining its specified accuracy?
Yes-LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB is rated for 8 mA continuous output current with ≤20 ppm/mA load regulation (typical). At 8 mA and 25°C, output voltage deviation remains within ±0.002% of 2.5 V. Load regulation degrades slightly over temperature (≤150 ppm/mA at 0–70°C), remaining well within 0.1% total error budget.
What is the significance of the four ground pins on LM4140BCMX-2.5/NOPB?
The four dedicated ground pins (pins 1, 4, 7, 8) minimize ground path impedance and inductance, improving PSRR (>80 dB at 1 kHz), reducing noise coupling, and stabilizing regulation under dynamic load conditions. They must all be connected to a low-impedance system ground plane for optimal performance.
